My little overflow mini-greenhouse

[ArronOB]

No need to wait, there are three now.

The two new ones are about twice the size of the first one, which really was a bit small to be useful.

I left almost all my catt and Oncidium hybrids in them over winter. They did very well, in fact better then the ones I brought inside. I thought winter would be too cold for them but not so.

I have also found that anything that can survive outside of the greenhouse or the house actually does better that way. Maybe better light, or better air movement, or both. As long as the days warm up a bit and they're kept dry during the night, it's amazing how much cold many orchids can tolerate. You definitely found room for one more (or several more... )
