My name is Darlene. I have only just recently
started trying to raise cattleya orchids and can use all
the help that I can get. I have had 2 of them for about a month now and so far they are still alive. Any hints or
suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks!

You'll get more than just hints here! Welcome!

Dig around in the forum section. You'll be overwhelmed by all the info. Post some pics of your orchids when you get a chance.

EDIT: Oh, make sure you check out any thread started by Rosim in Brasil. He grows some beautiful Cattleyas.

Glad to have you on 'board'
What kind of cattleyas do you have?
and what are your growing conditions ( location and lighting) and your water/fertlizing schedule?
I agree with Royal .. check out the Beginner's Discussion - http://www.orchidboard.com/community...er-discussion/
and the Cattleya Alliance forum - http://www.orchidboard.com/community/cattleya-alliance/
and ask any question you like in the appropriate forum.
Again, welcome
