Hello again!
Hey y’all! It’s been a hot minute since I regularly posted with things going nuts at work (Covid) and dealing with some mega health issues after this last hurricane we had. Thought I would reintroduce myself. I’m Sara. I live in New Orleans. And I like orchids.
I have a collection somewhere around 500 last I checked and I grow mostly outdoors in my shade house in a small courtyard, a some things up on my balcony, about 2 dozen under lights on a bookshelf, and have two terrariums dedicated to orchids. I lost about 70+ after I evacuated for hurricane Ida this past September. I thought I was doing good by moving my most precious orchids indoors out of the elements since I wouldn’t be home to care for them. Kind of forgot my sealed up house would be 95°-100°F and 90% humidity+. There was mold on basically every surface in the house. All but four of the orchid I lost were ones indoors. The outdoor ones were mostly fine. Didn’t help that I was relying on my husband to care for them for a few months but he did his best and honestly, even with the losses, I still have far too many, lol
