How to Prepare Orchids for Winter - Tips and Tricks to Keep Your Orchids Alive During the Wintertime

Today, we're going to discuss how to prepare orchids for the winter season. The temperatures are getting cooler and it's about that time to do the "orchid shuffle." Some plants like Miltoniopsis and Dendrobium nobile hybrids are moving outside to get a cool drop in temperature. Others like the warm growing Vandas and the soon to be dormant Catasetums are going inside. I'm setting another outdoor grow tent for my orchids to get them ready for the cooler season. Do you have to do more or less than I do to prepare your plants for winter? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks!
