Many people ask us what temperatures we grow our orchids at and what sort of plants we keep in which section, so I thought I would let you all know.

Warm Asia

Warm Asia is the hottest of our greenhouses, with a temperature zone from 20 – 33 degrees C, and our vents open at 26 degrees. It is home to mainly Dendrobiums, Vandas, and Paphiopedilums.

Warm America has a temperature zone from 18 – 33 degrees C, and our vents open at 25 degrees. It is home to mainly Prosthecheas, Cattleyas, and Stanhopeas.

Temperate sub-tropical

Temperate Sub-Tropical is out coolest section with a temperature zone from 4 – 26 degrees C, and our vents open at 7 degrees. It is home to mainly Pleiones and Disas.

The Micro-propagation Lab

The micro-propagation lab is kept around 23 degrees C, and is home to all of the orchids in flack. We grow a lot of orchids from seed so our lab is very full as you can see from this picture.

The classroom

In the middle of the greenhouses is a classroom which is used in many ways. It is used for classes to come and learn the techniques of micro-propagation of orchids. Also it is the main base of greenhouse club. It is where we all meet at lunch time and after school.
