3:00 Panel discussion

It will be a panel discussion about how our local members grow their orchids. We may have new members who joined at the show wondering what is the best way to grow that/those orchid/orchids purchased. I know I am getting anxious to move things outside. The members who will participate are; Greenhouse growing and summering outside, Sheila Nathanson, under lights, Mary Ann Pike, window growing, Kim

O’Toole. There will be questions about temperature, insects and their control, fertilizing, watering, repotting, and medium. For under lights what kind of lights, length they are on and change the length of time they are on.
