Breezy79's Orchid garden

Garden Type: Indoor | Sun: Dappled Sun | Soil: Combination

note that some of the pics I have for my plants are not the actual plant but a pic of what the plants blooms will look like when it does bloom. The pics are from the nursery the plants were purchased.

All of my ‘chids. some indoors, some outdoors. Indoors get South window(direct morning sun from 11am up to 2pm & Floor to Ceiling East facing window (non moving side of sliding glass door) with some to little southern exposure (each shelf on the unit here gets morning sun at different times though but all for 2 to 3 hours. First shelf gets sun as early as 8am to about 10am; 2nd shelf about 8:30 to 10:30; 3rd shelf as early as 9am to as late as 11:30am; bottom shelf seems to get the only southern direct sun so this shelf can get sun from 9:30ish to as late as 1pm. I have another window that faces NW but it gets direct hot blazing sun from about 2PM to 7PM. Don’t know what I could grow there. The ‘chids outside are on the balcony which gets Eastern and Southern exposure. My balcony is ’enclosed’ you could say. it has a ceiling and walls. The front half gets dappled direct morning E & S sun from 8am to 1-2pm. The back half gets bright light but no direct sun.

I have rendered humidity trays useless for our dry cold winters here, so I am going to get a warm air humidifier now while they are out of season and cheap for the upcoming winter months. Summer is a breeze with these guys, but winter is def going to be a challenge.
