James, I have no issues with the heat because they grow inside my house. I never put them outside, even for a couple of minutes. I grow them in a spare room that has a large window that gets early morning sun. I also have them under cheap grow lights that clip onto something that's near the plants. The grow lights take an ordinary grow bulb or you can use those long square grow light bulbs. Either type will work and the total cost is really cheap. Ever since I found out about the water my plants are growing fast. I use only organic fert. since the other types of fert. can burn the roots. The organic can not burn the roots. A guy that I purchase miltoniopsis plants from told me that since most tap water is purified to get rid of bacteria and other things most tap water contains chlorine and chorline burns the delicate roots. I never thought about this before and since I found out about chlorine being in most tap water, this makes sense plus you can smell the faint odor of chlorine in the tap water. I can't tolerate the heat so I stay inside and I set my thermostat at 70 degrees. If I'm happy with the temps. the plants are probably happy too. I almost forgot one important issue. I have a humidifier working 24 hours. It's a real cheap humidifier that I purchased off of Etsy. The humidifier looks like a fat white stick. I stick it in an old plastic water jug and you can see the mist coming out. Apparently it works real well. I can't tell you the brand because it came in a company box and everything is in Chinese including the instructions. I think that the humidifier cost me around five bucks. My set up is cheap but I haven't killed any plants. I currently have about seven plants putting out spikes. I have about twenty plants and I don't want anymore. I'll probably get another one only if the flower color appeals to me or if it's a cross that I don't have.

My tv hasn't been turned on in over a year since I canceled my 'Brighthouse cable tv service that cost like 70 dollars a month for nothing special. TV used to run 24 hours per day and suck 80 or more watts of power. So I saved more than just that 70 dollars to brighthouse . I've learned to live with my 70 dollars per month overpriced Verizon 8mb dsl with phone, and maybe have watched 6 movies over the past year from hulu or others. Lots of online news, lots of jay leno, and a few other tv shows online for free. Which reminds me, nbc full episodes .. todays Monday .. the Blacklist is on tonight. But I cant see it until tomorrow .. oh well.. what do I expect.. for free ! someday I'm gonna buy a tv antenna, maybe. This post was edited by mikie on Mon, Nov 11, 13 at 19:01
