I couldn't tell you what "home" growers get because in this country most
of
us grow our plants outside and try to maintain ideal conditions.

Oh, where are you from, Bolero?

Me, I dream of someday in the future owning a house with a garden and being
able to afford a greenhouse within commuting distance of Washington, DC (US)
/ Northern Virginia. For now, my orchids will have to be satisfied with 4
north-facing windows supplemented by grow lamps in a rented 1.5 bedroom
apartment. And they are doing well, not ideal, but well enough to be a great
joy in my life.

Happy New Year!
