orchids and artificial lighting?
Hi all. I've been a lurker for quite some time, but since I did not have
anything to contribute, or to ask about, I just read your posts. Now I do have a question: can orchids live and bloom in artificial light? If yes, what would be the best source? We are about to move, and the future house does not have a window with a morning to noon sun. Right now I have two orchid plants, one rescue and the other one a gift. The rescue is white phal, and the gift - I really have no idea what it is, except that it has flattened bulbs from which it sprouts narrowish leaves. This did not bloom yet, so I cannot describe the color of the flower. I heard it was supposed to be yellow, possibly with orange/red spots. Anyway, the two orchids are in the window where they get morning to noon sun, and they are very happy. After we move, I will have to place them by a window, but - alas! - no window receives morning sun, and afternoon sun is much too hot. Greenhouse is out of a question (moneywise). I am open to any ideas and suggestions... |
