Hi all...
I have been growing orchids for years - mainly under various light devices - have a very small collection at the moment. I finally got approval and amassed enough funds for an attached lean-to greenhouse. I am starting the design phase of this 10' x 16' greenhouse and could use some help. Let me provide some background... First of all I plan to grow paphs and other lower light plants. Second, the only place I am *allowed* to put the greenhouse is in an area that borders the garage and the sunroom portion of my house. The long portion of the greenhouse will have to face almost east. Utilities can be easily brought into the area. Some initial questions. Will the greenhouse get enough light? What brands of greenhouse do you recommend? (with the caveat that fitting into the *style* of the house is important to my future wife.) Gas or electric heater for this size of greenhouse - I live in Norfolk, VA. Any other info or direction is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
