I also cannot say enough about summering the orchids outdoors. It gives them so much vim and vigour that it's enough to hold them over during the dull winter months and even produce some bloom. We also have to start a spray program to eliminate possible critters the first week of September or thereabouts. The phals are the first to come indoors but the catts can stay out a little longer. During the spray time I start gradually getting the indoor area and humidity trays disinfected and ready for the plants.
