One of the drawbacks of our current nomadic lifestyle is new climates and having to reconfigure the plants every move.
Supplemental light/humidity helps. I am determined to get my first phrag blooms sometime in the next year despite these moves! I only bought my first phrags last summer. I do have one, possibly two paphs in sheath.
The climate in this part of Idaho is similar to Montana, but the elevation is twice as high so the sun is INTENSE. I had forgotten this from when we lived here before and will have to be careful.
The plants made the move mostly unscathed; my paph fairrieanum is dropping a lower leaf now, which makes me anxious, but I think it's okay? I've been able to keep everything adequately moist and put back in its place within 24 hours.
4 paphiopedilums
4 phrags
3 phalanopsis
2 cattleyas
1 dendrobium
1 jewel orchid
And my husband's bonus aloe and the basil.
In the car with me and the pets, of course, because it's 100 degrees outside
