    cyps rest in winter

    Dodidoki's thread could also be helpful for me. I have a concrete balcony outside that's unheated inside. Temps hover around 0°C all winter. Wich species or hybrids cyps would be best to keep in there for winter?:p

    Darned false spider mites... *grumbles*

    They probably would thrive on this. :evil:

    How's the weather?

    It takes me 10 minutes to put on boots, two sweaters, a scarf, a parka, gloves and a cap on my head, only to put out the trash. And that's if I don't have to use a shovel to get at the trash can.:sob:

    Staying cheerful when feeling lousy...

    Watching a favorite movie with a few drinks. Brandy does me good any time whether I'm sick or not. :D

    Je suis Charlie!

    A long time ago I asked the big boss of the company I worked for: ''Why does everybody think everyone else is an a** O le?'' ''That's human nature'', he told me, laughing. So there we are and we have to live with it. :rollhappy:

    Orchids on Mars

    After looking, I can see bigger than 10W chips but panels still have 5W chips, the same as I have and at more than three times the price. The ChloroBA has a 180° coverage but is less powerful and sells for $1500. But you are right, the 10W chip is old news.

    Orchids on Mars

    For those interested in trying led grow light panels, the Internet is a good place to investigate but be aware of the hype and wide difference in prices for equivalent power panels. Also there is a lot of obsolete stuff made up to pass for new. Prices are coming down with the introduction of new...

    Orchids on Mars

    Water and electricity don't mix. These lamps have fans to keep the individual diodes cool so they should be kept away from direct contact with water. Like I wrote to Lance, you can combine them with fluorocompact lamps to get natural greens. I tried it and it works. As for humid atmosphere, I...

    Nifty Streptocarpus

    It reminds me of my preorchid days when I fell in love with gesneriads and even african violets. I'm returning to them somewhat with Stephanottis and some palm trees. What's next? A gloxinia? :rolleyes:

    Orchids on Mars

    A hobby is expensive by nature. You can't factor in the cost of the pleasure you get from your hobby, which is really why you do it. I used to have a greenhouse for my orchids and I only gave it up when I couldn't afford the rising cost of heating it through our winters. Since then, I've...
