| Hi Neighbor & welcome,
I live in San Jose also. I have all my orhcids outside(80) under shade cloth and have 10 phals. I leave them out until Oct. They are thriving and most will bloom for me in the late winter/early spring. I have one that is spiking now. They seem to like the temp and humidity around here. Leaving them inside doesn't give them the temperture change that they need. |
