Welcome!!!!!!
What do you have for orchids? They all very in care, so you would need to be more specific. For S/H growing, we have Welcome to First Rays Orchids (Ray) and he is awesome about explaining that for you. I don't grow that way, but he's your guy if you need help. Many here on OB grow their orchids by S/H and swear by it.
We have all kinds of information here on OB, just snoop around, ask lots of questions, and have fun.
