Hi
So I thought i should post a few pics of the actual, orchid collection. Its quite difficult to take photos in the greenhouse as every bit space is used.
I mainly grow paphs, phrags but I grow a lot of Coelogyne, Dendrochilum and Brassia with some more of the oncid types thrown in then the rest is mix of plants. I have 230 odd plants but that only a list of types not number of orchids so, I have no clue how many plant i actually have.
I have the sides of the greenhouse bubble wrapped all year, under the benches there is a secondary layer of bubble wrap and thin polysiteren sheeting. In the winter the roof is bubble wrapped to give me extra warmth when its cold.
I do remove the bubble wrap and change to shade netting, i have a two layers in summer one inside one outside.
The greenhouse is kept at a min of 16/17C at night and then what ever temps it warms up to naturally in the day time.
I water all my orchids once a week, mainly with water some sometimes if i have the time they get a, feed and a seaweed extrat feed at the same time. I have a slow release fert in the Phrags and the hangin baskets.
All my orchids are potted in medium fir bark the very few Catts i have are in chuncky bark. All the Phrags are grown in rockwool.
