Ken, you're just entering heating period? I've had the furnace running since end of September here and house is very dry. I depend on trays of gravel kept wet with a small fan blowing over them 24/7 and manage about 55-60%. Guess that's the price we pay for beautiful springs, manageable summers and great autumns, eh?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
