I started with one- then went on a buying rampage cause I was so eager- not taking into account my conditions and my ability to grow them WELL, and killed a bunch. Felt incredibly guilty and will only purchase plants I know I can grow- phals, catts, oncids- I have one or two dends, paphs, zygo just to see if I can keep em alive ( and they were cheap) hehe.
Its been a little over a year, I only stick to warm growing plants that tolerate slightly lower humidity-
I only have 26 right now and I plan to keep it under 55, my apartment is a jungle!
My restraints are money, and the possibilities of moving in the near future- I moved to a new apt in august with just 25 and it was not fun.
Everyone has their restraints, time, money, space, stability ect.
I must say I do
this board, even with the endless wishlist !
