If you grow orchids outdoors, then the amount of rain that you receive will be important to you.
April is typically a fairly dry month in South Florida. This past April 2010 was about average as reported by a local South Florida rain station.
The actual rainfall total was reported as 3.84 inches. The average April is 3.57. The station shows 20 days without any rain at all. There were only two days with rainfall over 1/2 of an inch and there was only one day with rainfall of over 1 inch. There was one day that accounted for over 50% of the rain all month long.
Do you grow orchids outdoors in South Florida? Pay attention to the amount of rain that you get. Doing this will help make sure you are providing the right amount of water to your orchids.
I suggest a simple rain gauge in your backyard. You can get one for just a few bucks at a local hardware store.
Have fun! Be nice.
