Tom, if you had the energy you could find the credit... *grin*
I find that I can't find the zoning permission to extend my greenhouse. The credit is still passable. Ok, ok, I still haven't built my little greenhouse, but I would like to make it bigger already. 48'x32' approved . 48 more linear feet unapproved - hoops but no zoning (anybody want some steel hoops?). Having a greenhouse razing this weekend. Yes, I spelled that right, I have to tear it apart in its current location and move it to my house. to choose between them and a few orchids. Despite Rob's Rules, I haven't credit or energy enough to extend my little GH. -- Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a. See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase more orchids, obtain more credit LittlefrogFarm is open - e-mail me for a list ) |

Shell,
Epiphyllums should go well with orchids. They both need a good amount of humidity. I think they use the term orchid cactus for epis as well. You can check out the Epiforums website (http://www.epiforums.com) for plenty of epi culturing information.
