I never really know what orchids I can leave out over the winter in the SF Bay Area. Thanks for this video. You’re obviously in a colder area than I am, but it’s helpful to see someone else’s thoughts on this subject.
Thank you for sharing in how you keep your orchids outside in the cold to cool temps on the West coast. I find it funny how some orchid growers think it is too cold when it is 40 degrees F. and they pull out the heaters. Thank being said it may be due to going from extreme warm temps to suddenly cold temps without the slow down we get here. Anyways great video and have a wonderful day.
Thank you! Yes it has been a bit of trial and error for me but after many years I have learned that many of the orchids I like to grow have adapted to periods of cold weather. At least the kind that we get here on the South coast!

Glad it was helpful! You are lucky that you can grow many more varieties outdoors where you are!

Hi Mitch,

Thanks for the video btw, very informative!
Thank you :) Yes it is a Coelogyne cristata and it is a very good cold Hardy orchid.
