I recently expanded my growing area so that it takes up more of the space under the basement stairs.
400w HPS, vent fan, humidifier, etc.



Humidity runs 50% or higher, temp runs 75F day 65F night.

you'll notice an almost complete lack of blooms in this photo due to the ravages of a mouse about a month ago.

No space goes to waste I see! How ingenious to grow orchids under the stairs
Do you manage to bloom your Vandas under there?

I not only bloom vandas, I double and triple spike them The light is HPS so it's plenty bright for vandas.

Great setup! How do you get enough of a temperature drop at night?

Its in the basement, so as soon as the light goes off it pretty much drops to 65. The light keeps it warm during the day.
