My first orchid order! - Orchid Board

I have wanted to order some nice "named" orchids for a long time,instead of just having noids, but have never got around to it. I have dicided on ordering a Blc. Rustic Spots, a Otaara Jane Fumiye "Hawaii" AM/AOS and a Paph. Ho CHi Minh! I cant wait till they arrive!

Oh dont worry i will! i was thinking of planting the catts in s/h because i have a bunch of the clay pellets and i was wondering if it is hard to grow them in s/h?

The two Cattleya will do well in s/h.

Some people do OK with Paphs in s/h and others have a hard time. I would be careful with this one.

The Rustic Spots likes light level a bit lower than other Cattleya, otherwise the leaves turn red. The Jane Fumiye were in bloom for me last month and are probably finished blooming for this season.

Ok thanx for the tips I wasn't planning on putting the paph in s/h I was just going to leave it in bark like my other one is. The web site said that both should bloom more thatn once a year... so well see!

I've tried s/h with a Paph and didn't do well. Of course, I've not had much luck with s/h period!
Great order! Where are they coming from?
