Hi All, i live in the U.K, in a few months i will be growing my
orchids in a greenhouse 12x10/8.Any advise that will give me a head
start were you have had problems /experience with.


Of utmost importance in my book is a temperature alarm system for both high
and low temperatures that sounds inside your house and is loud enough to
wake you at night and one that has a battery back up. I had to learn the
hard way. A power failure in the summer and a heating hot water pump
failure in the winter. I put in the alarm after cooked orchid summer but in
the winter it wasn't loud enough and the greenhouse went down to 36 F or
2.2C when I discovered it.
