Almost as soon as the A/C goes off for the summer the heat pump has to come on. I know that the air will be too dry for my orchids. Can I keep them
happy with humidity saucers under each one? I have been considering a small room size humidifier since I keep them all in one room in front of a window. Would I run it a portion of each day? Do you put it close to the orchids? A year ago at this time I had 3 phals, today I have 19 orchids.
I have 1 cattleya, 4 dendrobiums, 2 oncidiums, 1 beallara, 1 miltassia, 1 miltonidium, 1 intergeneric, 7 phals and 1 paph. Last winter it was easy as the 3 phals wintered in the window over my kitchen sink. As of now they seem to be one big happy family and I would like to keep them that way.
Oh, something else. Will the humidity affect my computer? As you can tell I really am new to all of this.

On another note. I found a large custom made shelving unit at a used furniture store. It is made of bamboo shaped wrought iron, painted white and has glass shelves. It is to be delivered Saturday and I am anxiously awaiting it. Not something most people would want but perfect for my orchids.
