    Here in the USA, I have trouble with an indoor "monkey" of the feline variety, who just LOVES orchids. She prunes orchid roots and uses leaves as a scratching post.
    When my greenhouse is completed, she will be allowed supervised visits.

    My grandparents used to hang baby's diapers at the orchard after the baby urinated on it to chase away the monkeys. It is gross. Not sure if it really works since I just heard stories. Not even sure how they get that idea from.
