Jim, welcome to the Orchid Board. While I may not be able to be of help with the current issue, I will say that that new greenhouse is a good investment. You are already ahead of the game.

Central Florida Orchid Society

So I went to my first orchid society meeting last night. It was the monthly meeting for the Central Florida Orchid Society.

Orchid prices & availability.

I was reading another thread in this forum about moving a collection of orchids, 1000 plants worth $1Mil. Umm, that averages at $1000 per orchid. Now, I have always heard that orchids were expensive,...

Well, since light is key to photosynthesis I would be more inclined to think that this is also the trigger that would signal the orchid to process CO2, generate carbs and open/close its stomata. If...
