Vanda under CFL lights
I would appreciate some advice on growing Vandas under CFL lights.
I am planing to convert my utility room (about 3mx1.5m) to a orchid room this fall. My plan is to hang the plants from the ceiling under lights
Is this practical with CFLs (dont fancy the heavy T5 set ups and the sodium lights/HIDs would just be too hot in a small room)
What wattage/ number of bulbs would I need
Any perticular brand/make
Do I need both "blue" & "red" bulbs
What Reflectors
Any other accessories??? I am thinking of a humidifier as well. Does the ultrasonic ones leave a lot of dust about (my washer and dryer will be in the same room)
If somebody has a similar set up I would love to see a photo to get an idea. Please pm me a photo if you dont want it on the thread.
Many thanks in advance
