first time Orchid owner
Hello all,
this past weekend I visited the Fredrick Meijer Botanical Gardens here in Michigan. I got talking with a lady in the tropical rainforest greenhouse about orchids. She quickly dispelled a lot of assumptions I had heard over the years about orchids being super high maintenance plants. I am a low maintenance plant kind of person. I grow pothos, bamboo and pilea like its cool. Any way, she turned me onto this site. I have a North and a West facing window in my home office, and a south facing sliding door. However I live in Michigan it is getting cold and I don't to kill an orchid on my first go around. Any advice on what species of orchid to get and how to best start off coming into this cold season? thanks in advance.
