Some cattleya species and their relatives and hybrids will be in bloom now. So will some moth orchid species and hybrids and oncidiums. Do the following for your orchids, no matter if they’re in a greenhouse, under lights, or on the windowsill:

 As days continue to shorten and the angle of light gets lower in the sky, position the orchids in your windowsill and greenhouse so that they capture the most light.

 Be sure your glass or glazing surface is clean. This can make a real difference in light transmission.

 Growth will start to slow on many orchids from lower temperatures and light, so reduce watering and fertilizing accordingly.

 Get ready for winter. Insulate your greenhouse. Get a standby emergency propane heater.
