Your worst orchid care Failures that led to your greatest Successes later

[KokeshiHappyGreen]

Been debating for awhile whether to start this thread...but I thought it might be Really Helpful for others...especially us newbies!

So if you're up for it, especially you really Experienced growers:

What were your worst Failures that later translated into your most wonderful Successes in caring for your orchids? And what specific steps did you take in transforming your mistakes and failures into those successes?

A lot of times we'll hear that, "Oh, I've killed lots of orchids too, esp as a beginner"...but not hear the whats, whys, and wherefors..or how it was transformed into awesome Orchid care. I thought positive outcomes from what initially seemed sad or stressful would be really helpful and encouraging to us! 🌞

Thanks!
