New setup for indoor orchids

[WaterWitchin]

Welcome! I have my fan so it blows over the top of the orchids, not on them. I used to position so you could see leaves move a bit... was too much for my growing conditions. It's air movement, but doesn't need to be direct. You may find it different with the covered shelving. Mine dried out too quickly, but I struggle with humidity in the winter.

Sounds like you've got the right idea... blowing in a convection current without actually being on the plants.

I will do just that- the oncidium I moved more towards the outer center since I saw more yellowing.. Tolumnias are blushing but the pots are tiny so I'll have to keep my eye on them. Thanks!

The fan is not strong enough, so I might get a something a little stronger.. I put it face up on the bottomshelf and couldnt feel any air movement at the top shelf. Thank you for the welcome!

PS. I added mylar on the inside.. was suggested by the local hydroponic store, he grows catts in his store. I am finally satisfied with everything!
