Growing Conditions & Climate:
Almost all orchids grown indoors
Eastern Exposures (4-5 hours direct early morning sun) & LED Grow Lights
Most orchids grow under the lights
Only cool growers & orchids in bloom grow under my Eastern facing windows
Grow space doesn’t get any additional sunlight other than the LED’s
Zone 7a - Humid Subtropical
