the only thing Ithink I lost(still hoping it will come back to life somehow ) was my Dendrophylax lindenii, the fawcetti however didn't mind that drop in temperature..


umm so I would say it gets in the high 50's to low70's in the winter so far sometimes higher or lower depending on the weather,

I don't really have a way to control the Heat other than the controlling the whole room.... but everything is Happy.. .one big mistake that I did was not cutting the watering times down sooner, so many things went yellowish ,but no losses other than the one mentioned..

Thanks Hector! You gave me a good idea. I was wondering why my ghosts were yellowing and wondering if it was the cooler temps. Now, I think they might not be drying out before night time. There was a post that said they need their stomata dry at night to breath. Same post said they need night humidity to breath too...but not wetness. That is something I can fix.

Thats a lot of orchids. Make sure you don't loose the tags. Very nice arrangement and great use of drift wood too! Im stunned at how small some of them are.

Yeah I gotta make sure they don't get lost, but i can identify most of them just by the leaves, but I rather not loose the tags.. they have important information
