Default help with a Masdevallia Copper Angel

Diana, CT is great for Masd's and Drac's. J&L Orchids is a great source

for
these lovely minis, they are in your neck of the woods. My cool loving
minis go outside into a shady spot around the end of September, I keep

them
there until first frost, I then bring them into the basement where they

are
kept unheated and under 2 flourecent bulbs (warm and cool). I toss them
back into the outdoors around April and watch the weather like a hawk .
If a freeze is anticipated I bring them back into the basement, otherwise
they stay there until the nights get in the 70's. That's when they go

back
in the house, this time into the living room where the central A/C is on

at
around 72 at night and between 74-77 during the day.

Good luck,

Thanks for the suggestions, I never thought of the Garage! It's a perfect
place - I am in an out of it everyday.

I actually got this one from J&L, what a great place - I am only about 30 -
40 minutes a way from them. Also, I am about 40 minutes from Venamy Ochids
in Brewster which is another wonderful place to wander, dream and find
another Orchid for the collection.

Thanks again,
Diana
