hi - have new inside plants on open weave shelves with grow light and small fan for circulation - have read about temperature issues and am not sure what to do - I keep AC @ 78 (cost control - and I am comfortable) - but @ night temp seems to go up (everything I read says orchids like it to go down @ nite) because AC does not necessarily come on when sun goes down (nice humidity tho) - it never gets in the 60s here in house except in the winter when I turn heat on @ 68. My gut feeling is wait and let my two (OK lol) plants tell me if what I have arranged is OK for them - OR do I need to consider proactive temp adjustment of some sort? Oh - I can set up little space heater near shelves to boost winter temp for them.
I think I am probably just being 'nervous nellie' newbie who would rather not kill plants (but I know that's inevitable!) P.S. how much fan is too much? ie. is gently waving odonto plant leaves too much? I read they like cooler and breezy so fan is more focused its shelf - yes, my two plants each have a shelf to themselves. (right now)
