“along a very narrow band of the earth, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.”
Uhh, I wouldn’t consider that very narrow, especially given that it’s 36% of Earth’s landmass and a third of all people live in it
Is there any reason, if the specific conditions are so narrowly defined, that we can’t grow the orchid hydroponically in a controlled environment anywhere in the world?
It’s really expensive. Cultivation outside Mexico already depends on child labor because the bees it needs only live in Mexico
The original post is a gift link. People shouldn’t be hitting the paywall for the next 30d unless one of the following is true:
- They’ve got Javascript disabled
- They’re running a device which strips the gift token off the URL
- Their device desperately needs a reboot
I haven’t had javascript enabled in a decade. site doesn’t work I only vm or sandbox or similar if I absolutely need to use the site.
