Ursula, if you want/need to move this thread to join with another. I wasn't sure so I started a new one. Anyway, my orchids have been in the shaded greenhouse for about 2 months now, since 7 May. The highest temp I've seen in there in 95 and the humidity is always at least 55%. Usually 60-75%. My Keiki is still growing on the spike but still no roots yet. I first noticed it on 29 May when I posted here. I also picked up 6 more Phals from Walmart. The lady with the 'name your price' gun was really nice about letting me mark them down to 1/2 price. So now I'm back up to having 20. If you notice the temp and humidity on the top row, right hand photo. I took these around 11:30 this morning. I went over to the other greenhouse in the sun and it was 105, can't remember what the humidity was but it was probably low. I'm sure glad I moved these to the shaded one else they'd be burnt toast by now. The one with the purple bloom is one of the four I got yesterday.
