I agree.. that should work very well for you June.

also.. post pics of the jewel orchids that are in there now. Roberta may know more than I do about nursing them back to health, especially in your conditions. (Roberta I am in the southeast, growing conditions are very different. I have also been out of practice for awhile. )

June! also try the other orchids Roberta suggested! Outdoor orchids are great!! you can make them your "potted plants" I don't get that year round :P
