Outdoor Growing Area in the Tropics
Hi all,
I was very inspired to know that many in the US actually have very good growing areas in the open where your orchids are grown.
Just to share with you that I live in Singapore. At the backyard, I do have a growing area as well. Temperatures rarely drop below 23 degrees celsius, thus I grow a lot of warm-growing hybrids.
The sun comes up from the lest of the shadehouse and through the day, moves to the right-side, Afternoon sun is very much stronger.
These are some of the flowers currently blooming. Would add more when I have the chance.
Do let me know if you have any queries about the hybrids - here in Singapore, denbrobium phal and vandas (and their hybrids) are pretty common. Cattleyas are limited to the really warm-growing ones.
I have not tried growing others (except tolumnias) but it isn't easy to acclimatize them to a pretty strong sunlight in the region.
It's getting towards the end of the year, temperatures are still blazing but we do get torrential thunderstorms.
I don't really know much as this is the revival of my orchid-growing in the past few months.
