Good Morning Everyone! I'd like to hear your comments and suggestions on how to organize my orchid database. I have about 90 orchids listed in a spreadsheet. I'm looking to gather culture info and group them accordingly. Your comments would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, I also use a Spreadsheet for my 76. I have several tabs for their pictures, culture info, vendors I like, etc... I keep up with when they bloom, when I repot, etc...
I envy those who are organized. I am just proud that I have a list of all my plants/orchids. I have no idea when I bought the orchids, how long I have owned them nor anything else. Maybe one of these days I will get around to it. Good luck!

I put the date on the tag when I get a orchid, so at least I know when I got it
Name (oncidium, dendrobium, etc...)
Species or hybrid/clonal name along with any awards
Minimum temperature allowed
Maximum temperature allowed
Outside placement
Inside (winter) placement
Cultural notes, tips, bloom times, issues, etc...
Light range needed
Pic(s) of blooms
I use Evernote to keep mine organized. I put vendor, date purchased, a picture when purchased. Then as it spikes/blooms/gets pollinated/whatever, I note that and can add more pics.
