Do you have a greenhouse or something? Or do you just sprinkle them around the house.
I think this is all my mother in laws fault... She bought me a phal when my son was born. It almost died while we took him to South Africa for a month. (no one watered it). When we got back all the flowers were dead and one of the spikes was dead. I cut the other spike halfway and it recently flowered again, only six flowers but hey better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
I then rescued one phal and 3 oncidiums from my mothers garden. The oncidiums I stupidly split down into about 6 plants all with no roots. Some of those have roots now some not. I also treated my wife to three phals from home depot for our anniversary (I think that was more of a gift for me). I have moved all of these plants into S/H. I also stole some Keiki epidendrum from my aunt so I have amassed a small collection in a very short time. Maybe a month or two. My wife would really like her dining room back. She says its not a welfare center for orchids
Once all these plants have roots I am going to have to do something about the various bugs they seem to be suffering from. Scale, mealy bugs etc.
I guess if this "hobby" was easy there would be no fun in it.
