Growing in Louisiana
I just recently bought 4 orchids; 1 Paphiopedilum avalon, 1 Phalaenopsis sogo grape, Leptotes bicolor, and Dendrobium micro chip. I live in south Louisiana and will be putting together a small greenhouse soon and have a few questions.
Do any of these species not tolerate the heat well due to Louisiana's hot summer? I will have fans in the greenhouse but will that be enough? I will also add some shade cloth, probably 60%. I'm nervous they won't do well and thinking maybe I should stick to a window sill. Would they grow well on a porch? It would be shaded but still pretty hot.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated! Hopefully these will be easy to grow.
