what a mess :(
Could you be a little more specific with regards to air movement? We do
keep a fan going during the heat of July, but it never occurred to me that it would be necessary during the winter months. I'll surely keep in mind to keep things sterile. So far what damaged leaves that needed to be removed, I did by hand. Probably not a good thing, huh? Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it. peace... debbie "michael exler" wrote in message m... I get the impression you have very little air movement in your greenhouse? This alone will give you lots of problems. next would to better insulate the door. As far as the plants the damage is done, just watch them close for signs of rot and remove it quickly so it does not spread to the rest of the plant. Remember to sterilize any tools and open cuts you make. In particular Phal's will quickly show damage to leaves, so try to protect the crown from any spreading rot caused by freezing. Michael "Deborah F. Ryan" wrote in message ... Folks, I've been reading through old posts hoping that I could find the answer (if there is one) to no avail. We only have about a dozen orchids. All in our little greenhouse which has managed to keep an average internal temp of 60*f (NW Indiana) and all on the same self-watering tray they have been on for several years. The only difference this year, was they were moved closer to the door. Obviously, a Really bad move on my part Despite the temp being well above freezing, every pot froze solid to the mat and the plants look just awful. They were immediately moved to the highest shelf (as close to the heating source as possible), but it's been nearly a week and they aren't looking any better. At this point, would bringing them indoors Really do them in, or just leave them were they are? Talk about feeling sick... Thanks in advance! peace...debbie |
