Hello wonderful people!

[Plant-a-holic]

I wanted to make my first post and say hello to everyone as i start my adventures growing orchids.

I was walking around a flea market and saw a gentleman selling various orchids. One was going out of bloom so he sold it to me for $2! The other two i loved had two full blooms and about three future blooms. All the leaves looked very green and healthy. I saw alot of green healthy roots all over in the little plastic pot it was in.

All three were growing in 100% sphagnum moss but about half of the moss looked like it had green stuff growing all in it and it was really packed in. I did some reading and decided to re-pot them in fresh moss but i also added a handful of orchid bark then moderately packed it around/ in between the roots. I also pre soaked the new mos in some superthrive.

all three are Phal. orchids.

I hope i am off to a good start!

Really great to meet everyone.
