Thanks Rick! Yes, it was a bit of work to setup, but this is my first house. You should have seen my apartment and all the lights the neighbors could see outside! I actually gave a couple of tours with all the plants I had! 😆 Yes, it is very relaxing and rewarding growing orchids and other plants! Thank you for checking out my channel!

@@LGW3-Orchids-Exotics ....George you have a great set up.....and you grow great orchids and other plants.....keep doing what your doing!

Thank you so much for watching! Cleanliness is very important.

Thank you for checking out the channel! Yes, it is very relaxing- Especially during the cold lifeless winter. It's nice to see green with flowers!

It is a great way to relax and connect with nature and the outdoors 100%!

Yes indeed! It's not that bad once setup, but like any hobby it definitely requires some level of commitment. Thank you for stopping by to check out my YT Channel!

Thank you very much! It's a fun hobby, but it's also a great way to grow plants all year round!

Thank you! My happy place.

Well thank you very much for watching and the awesome complement! I truly enjoy this hobby.

Thank you for the awesome comment! Yes, there can indeed be challenges, but it is very rewarding. Especially when it's cold outside and I can go down into my tropical space that's 70F and humid. I love the challenge of growing nice plants and trying to create hybrids.

Thanks Wade! Yes, we will definitely get together in the New Year.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you for watching! New content to come soon.

Thank you very much!

Yes, Andy's Orchids has beautiful orchids! I think he will be at the SEPOS orchid show next weekend if you're in the Philadelphia area.

I'm not sure how much farther north than New Jersey you may be, but you have options to insulate. You could use the 1" reflective foam board over a vapor barrier. You could also possibly heat with a heated floor mat and/or warm fountain. Every methodical heat source will help. Once it's sealed, drafts shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for stopping by my channel!

It was a bit of work setting up, but I love it! Thanks for watching 👀

You should definitely build a plant setup! Indoors or a greenhouse is a great way to enjoy the hobby.

Thank you for watching! It's 10mil greenhouse plastic from Greenhouse Megastore (online). I went with thicker plastic so it helps trap heat in a bit more; especially since the rest of the basement can get cooler. It has worked well. Be sure to get mold resistant pain and paint all surfaces facing the brick and where the plastic lays on top. This will prevent mold. I have also used pressure treated wood on the bottom frame in case the floor gets wet. So far, so good. I hope this inspires you!

Physan 20. It works great and is safe to use. Won't hurt you or the plants. Thanks for checking out the channel!

@@LGW3-Orchids-Exotics Awesome! Thank you. love your setup...

I actually do have a small Pitcher plant that I'm attempting to grow, but they seem to be a little finicky. It's still small right now, but fingers crossed it will take off as we head towards spring.

Thank you for finding my channel! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. The Moistenland Mister I hang from the ceiling. It can be used with misters on a table to work like a drip line also. If your area can get misted (wet), it will work great. The reptile fogger I use in the Terrarium. This works great to keep the environment super humid without actually spraying water. This might be a good option for you if you don't grow in a greenhouse or some environment that can get wet. If you have excellent air movement with fans, then misting can be a good option, but water cannot sit in the crowns of the leaves or youbwill have rot issues. A Terrarium can be a fun project and a great way to go. Best of luck!

It's a standard blue 32G trash can with no air stone (just a heater). I use any typical fertilizer with a high nitrogen content, but maintain TDS around 50 - 150 (depends on every other batch). I do use powdered eggshell and rooting hormone vitamins to improve growth. It seems to be working so far. Thanks for watching!

Totally valid question. My basement doesn't leak and it wasn't sealed when I moved in. There were tons of plants from my old place that I needed to get set up here. I didn't bother painting the wall, but yes white would have been great to bounce the light. I could still do it. I am able to grow plants all year long. My lowest temp without a heater is no lower than 59. The max temp is like 78 in summer.

Thank you! Electricity can be a little expensive. I have an energy monitor in my breaker box. With 12 hours of lights on, it costs around $55/mo. This is NE USA. If you are going to build one, I'd use a couple of the large ones like I have in the middle hanging from the ceiling. They are super bright and probably 2 or 3 could cover a nice area!

​@@LGW3-Orchids-Exoticswow，that's great ,may i know how many watts of the light on the middle hanging ? ​

and I really love the cover picture of your video, it is very beautiful😍

The center light I use is from Amazon. I would like to buy more, as they are adjustable brightness and work fantastic!

That is an excellent valid concern. Most basements are already fairly high humidity (above 60%). I would ensure you can have your greenhouse near a window for ventilation in the warmer months. Also, I would seal the ceiling with reflective foam insulation. It's not that expensive. Outside of the greenhouse I do run a dehumidifier for any escaped humidity. I haven't had any mold issues. If you use multiple fans in the greenhouse, this will also benefit the plants and eliminate stagnant air. I hope this helps.

I used 2x4 framing with 10 mil greenhouse plastic. There's an online greenhouse material store that sells everything. Thanks for watching! 👀

I do indeed! Mine has been running strong for well over a year. It runs a few times per day (everyday) - no issues. You can use any reservoir of your choice. I use RO water just to prevent spots and clogging of the nozzles with just 2 drops of Physan 20. The system works great!

Ya think?!

It's wintertime and cold. No windows are open.
