Hello from Athens, Greece!

[Phoebus]

Hope you are all enjoying your holidays, even though I know we're going through some difficult days!

My name is Phoebus, I am a beginner orchid grower from Greece.

I got my first orchid November 28th 2019 as an anniversary gift and ever since I was obsessed with keeping it healthy and watching it grow. It's been more of a child than a houseplant, I've never worried so much about anything in my life before nor have I been more proud!

Even though the person that gave me the orchid is no longer in my life I intend to make sure my orchid remains, and quite honestly I could use all the help I can get. Especially now that I'm thinking of expanding my orchid family!

I've watched countless videos on orchid care, but still there is so much I don't know!
I look forward to being a member of this community and sharing my experiences with you!

Glad to be here!
It's a phalaenopsis, not sure of the specific species! Looks like the common ones found in most grocery stores. not currently in bloom, will post pictures soon, maybe you guys have an idea of what it might be!

You can learn about growing Phalaenopsis in this thread:
The Phal abuse ends here.
It is accessible from the left yellow menu Forums, then Beginners.

Welcome to the OB! Phalaenopsis are considered among the easiest for beginners, so you're off to a good start.
