when you got a little rinky dink greenhouse you dont put much more than rinky dink into it ...

If I had a more permanent structure like a 14 x 20 Im suddenly needing , I would have AC in it and it would also have triple wall frosted poly not single ply clear poly. There are a lot of factors that go into how much do you want to spend or how much can you spend on your orchid hutches. Or what you can do to cool off for what you want to grow. You can do anything you want of course.
Ive looked at the nice swamp coolers they sell around 500 bucks online. Im still looking at em too

Lots of water in the meantime....for this C.walkeriana var.coerulea 'Monte Azul' that put out 8 new bulbs in the heat.

Yep, Cattleya growth is explosive in the heat! They truly thrive in the warm Texas summers.
