The Orchid Garden

enough light?

Question:

That is a good idea…  I was wanting to have them right in my front living room…    I may build some light shelves in my spare room and then move one out to the living room when it blooms…    just kinda for ‘decoration’ out tehre. THanks!

I really really would like to grow orchids in my main living room window..  however (as seen in previous post) I am concerned about not having enough light.   it is a 6 foot window that is directly under our front porch.  The porch is only 3-4 feet wide, so there is still quite a bit of light..   (faces north east)… Do you gusy think there is anyway to successfully grow an orchid with this much light? Thanks so much for all your help! Kim

Hi, Ludisia discolor seems to grow better with light in the phal range. This orchid boasts a little white flower and pretty leaves.   . . .
