Slc.'s loving the Orchidarium

[Shadow]

I thought Slc needs an evening temperature drop and a winter temperature drop too. How do you maintain these conditions in your orchidrarium?

The room in which the orchidarium sits in is cool. It often, during the winter reaches night time temps as low as 58 and rarely reaches high temps of 78. During last summer temps rose as high as 84. Hopefully this is enough of a seasonal change, and still kool enough to keep my masdies happy at least part of the year.

Temperatures drop everynight on an order of about 10 degrees, maybe more on cold windy nights.

WOW! How? Do you keep your windows open all the time?

It stays pretty warm in the room. Its nice and protected. I even had them open in the dead of winter. One morning it was 55 in the orchidarium, no harm to plants or animals.
