Help me pick out an orchid
Hello everyone, and well met!
I currently have 6 tillandsia air plants. Two I've had for 8 months, and 4 I've had for 6 months.
Finally figured out the best watering method for me and my plants. I dunk, for an hour, every week (do not submerge the bulbous parts!). It took me a little while to figure it out, and I lost a few on the way, but I'm feeling pretty confident with my care skills.
I really love my air plants, but I'd like an outdoor air plant. After much reading I found bare root orchids, and I couldn't be happier, they are beautiful and unique plants.
I'm liking the way Vandas read, and if the vanda hybrids are anything like the 2 tilly hybrids I have, hardy, I think I'd like one of those.
Would y'all mind helping guide my decision on which Vanda would be best for my conditions, and for a newbie?
I live in Northern Louisiana, z8b.
I'd like to put the plant on my back porch. It faces west, but is 14' deep. No trees, and my backyard backs up to open pasture land.
I'd really appreciate any advice, and if there are any other questions I need to answer, just ask!
p.s. I read the Beginner Buyer's sticky. I'm willing to spend about $50 and I figure I'm gonna have to do online.
