I'm still a beginner in orchid care and I'm still unsure of what orchids will thrive better in my living conditions. I was wondering if anyone had any advise or suggestions for which orchid best suits me. I have a bunch of phals that I have been caring for but I'm needing some variety. I now have a few oncidium/intergenerics and upon the discovery that one of those oncidium is actually not doing okay ever since I bought it, I realize I've been blindly shopping for plants that may or may not even do well in this environment. (More on that situation my earlier thread "HELP! Oncidium/intergeneric emergency
")
Anywho, I'm just reaching out to see if there are any suggestions or recommendations for me
I live in the northern California valley where summers are pretty dry and can range from 85F to 105F. We get our coldest ranging from 35F to 40F in the winter. Give or take for both seasons. I'd say we also get some good rain in the colder months. I believe our hardiness zone is 9 if that matters.
Where I keep my orchids is indoors in front of a eastern facing window. Also the AC/heater is out in my house so the temperature can rise and drop according to the season inside my house. They're not the most pleasant temperatures but they're comfortable enough for me to have lasted years without fixing that thing.
Again. I do appreciate any help and recommendations! ^^ And if you need any additional info I'd be happy to provide it
