ARISTOCRATIC ORCHIDS©
After growing bromeliads successfully, I decided it was time for a
new challenge. My target was orchids. Orchids require a temperature range
consistent with their place of origin: some demand high temperatures and
flourish in a hothouse, others are quite content with the temperature of
the typical home (temperate house), still others are unhappy if the
temperature rises above 60 degrees (cool house).
