  • Sketchy Science: Local Relative Humidity for Winter Dehydrated Houseplants

    In progress. Math has not been checked! A friend of mine and I have been talking about orchids lately. The dendrobium papilo comes from a relatively cool growing area in the Phillipines.

  • 24 Hours in Montréal, +/- 12 Hours
