How well do you do in winter, window sill growers?
Q

This is a great thread! There are so many considerations for us summer out/winter indoors people. In the summer I have cattleyas, dendrobiums, oncidiums, and bulbophyllums out on a porch, with direct sun in the morning and late afternoon, and shade overhead at midday. This year I put out paphs too, on the bottom shelf where they had more shade. Everything does very well and adds a lot of growth. In the winter, they all move to a sunroom facing west but with a south exposure too. Life for my orchids improved immensely when I added Wonderlites (in the west and south windows) and big humidity trays to this set up, and it cost very little. Most winter days it is about 60% humidity, high of 80 F and low 55F. I have a tiny space heater to boost heat on really cold nights. My electric bill is just $25-30 a month. It helps that this room can be closed off to retain the humidity. I have the catts in clay pots and water about once a week. I think the humidity helps them cope with drying out completely. Another factor I think is that I choose catts that aren't seasonal bloomers but bloom at various times of the year. Originally I chose them just because I wanted to get more blooms, but I also figure they have a built-in urge to keep growing and not go dormant when the light and heat wane. They make lots of leads and lots of blooms during winter. My only basket plants are brassavolas that I water every other day. Calvin, I think your plan to cut back on water and fert until you see signs of growth is exactly the way to go. Generally I think it's important to observe the plants really closely and follow their lead. By the way I suffered from tinted windows for a month or two before I realized what was going on, but mine came with a little label that warned against using ammonia or detergent to clean them. The anti-UV tint was just a surface film that was gone with a few vigorous washings. By the way, I also remove the screens in winter as they cut down on the light. Good luck and keep experimenting!

I grow all 4 , Penny's Worth is a small bloom rather inconspicuous compared to others but still pretty. Primal Scream is a gorgeous orange but not a particularly impressive plant here . You are gonna love love love Ruby Spider ( not a spider at all by the way) if you love gorgeous huge blooms I just love it . Pizza Crust is very pretty , kind of a quiet beauty. I have some soft colors in my gardens but I much prefer loud boisterous colors.

Can you let me know how my fiddle leaf figs are doing?
Q

Nothing that should be seen as concerning jumps out at you when you look them over - some very minor mechanical injury from getting banged around while they were handled at the greenhouse, some evidence of over-watering in the past, and it looks like maybe a bit of an adverse reaction to something applied (insecticide, fungicide, ......) in the past. They want warm temps 70-80*, moist but never wet or soggy soil, and all the light you can give them, during the winter especially. If you do decide to put them in full sun, make sure you take a little time to try to acclimate the leaves to the new site over a week or two. Best to move them to a full sun position at the onset of a stretch of cloudy days. Would you describe yourself as an experienced grower, or are you just getting started? Al

As long as the totaled amounts from this combination of windows meet or exceed the 8% for natural light and 4% for natural ventilation. Egress Window Wells Egress window wells are required where the bottom of the egress window is below ground level. The egress well must not interfere with the egress window fully opening.
