How many orchids have you killed?
One way or another, I've managed to do in quite a few orchids. The first one I ever killed was my first den- I failed to give it a winter watering rest and it rotted. I've lost half a dozen phals, most to crown rot and one to pure neglect.
I've murdered several paphs with underwatering, my Lycaste slowly dwindled to nothing but shrivelled bulbs, my Sarcochilus gradually rotted and died. All in all I've been host to the painfully slow deaths of about a dozen initially healthy orchids.
I'd like to hear your stories of woe- how many orchids have you killed in your collecting career, and how did they perish?
