hello, orchidworld!
Red face hello, orchidworld!

Hello, (orchid) World,


my name is ambrosia and i love orchids!
i have quite a few orchids. 6 + 2 + 3 + 3 wow 14 (15 but one is a present) orchids right now.

my collection started with a piddly little grocery shop clearance phal with the most beautiful bloom, who somehow survived a summer with my mother, notorious plant murderer. i was surprised by their strength! and so i decided to collect them.

i try to only pick up orchids on sale, i like the challenge of rehabilitation. looking forward to learning a lot from this site!

of my 14 i have a 3 new dendrobiums, 2 of which are in the same hanging basket (?!) so i am on the hunt for dendrobium repotting advice. they are in bloom so i am nervous to repot now, there is some small growth and i have read it is best to wait until they are 10 cm above the media to repot. however, with spring approaching the northern hemisphere maybe i should repot now before the roots explode?! agh!!! hard decisions!

besides that, i am very interested in mycology and organismal biology, so if there is anybody who sees this and has done any investigation into the orchid rhizosphere i would love to talk!

warm regards from a cold place!

Greetings! Welcome to the board

I'm also interested in biology! I've been learning a little through youtube videos, websites, and some free scientific papers. Mostly on orchid microbiology, though I still need to build up the skills to get through a full paper on that.. Its a fascinating world. Though my college major is currently Computer Science, I'm gonna try Botany as an elective in the summer. Maybe I'll even change my major!

Whats the orchid you're the most proud of, in terms of rehab? I've tried that but I dont think I have the patience for it yet. I still prefer smaller plants though, cause of the price and fun of watching them grow.
