Sweet Sugar and Temperature

[orchid-man]

Yay! I love getting better info than the boring ol' books has.

My Sharry Baby is winging it out on the covered balcony the past few days... I think the spikes have each gained 2" (still no buds ... yet). Temps are supposed to top out between 87-90F between today and Saturday with lows in the 67-70 range... and the balcony only gets direct sun from dawn till about 11:30am. Considering throwing my Bc/Blc's out there to keep company...

How hot can these go without taking damage? Was thinking if it gets any hotter than 90 it's time to pull them back inside...

it the humidity is kept high,that is by misting 3-4 times per day, 38 oC or higher will be OK

Humidity has been high enough on it's own at 50% + at midday and increasing when it's cooler. ... Actually, its 86 F (30C) and raining a little with the sun out. Hehe. I love when the weather is confusing.

Sharry Baby seems really happy outside. The paper at the nodes of the spike has started swelling and splitting open and the tip of the spike where the younger nodes are has honey dew at each node!! Hopefully the Sharry Baby will show my Catts how it's done. Tossed a tiny splash of water on the catts this morning. They were totally dry to the pencil test (and had been for over a day).

I hope this works!
