Welcome!
Me too! My phals and paphs stay under fluorescents year round and my other orchids are outdoors until cold weather hits this October and then they will come in under the lights as well. What kind of orchids are you growing under what type of lights? mike
PS - if you don't mind update your profile to show where in the world you live - it helps when people are addressing concerns you might have.

Hi and welcome. I supplement natural light with fluroescent, and I know that several members do also. Happy growing.

Hello Orchid664.

Welcome to the forum.

I started growing orchids 'under the lights'. Now they are all out under the sun since it is summer now. This is the first season they are seeing the light of the day, so to speak.

They will be back indoors , perhaps, in early Sept.

Good luck.

I'm growing a little bit of everything, hybrids & species. I have some paphs & phrags, but have not rebloomed any. I did some research and I think they are not getting enough light, so I am going to move them closer to the bulbs.
