Hello from 19 below in Minnesota!
I had a heck of a time logging in, but seem to have made it through! Long time Basset Hound mom..newer to orchids.Moved here three years ago to be closer to family, and find the winters...ummm...LONG.
I have 3 phals that I got at a big box store on a whim. I was thinking more of a cut flower scenario, but they have survived for 8 years, and continue to bloom, so I am thinking maybe orchids are the cure for MN winters.
We have 9 fairly large south facing windows...and a lot of gray sky. Thinking of easier phals and oncidiums. The room temps vary from cold night temps of down to 60 along the windows up to mid 70's for warm sunny days. We have shades to pull down to block some sun. Looking for information and ideas...Thanks
