Newbie with Orchid fever!
Hello all! My boyfriend and I just got into orchids, and we are hooked.
We have two phals, a vanda cross, a mini oncidium and now a brassavola (still in bag....debating potting versus mounting.....).
we feel okay with the potting on the phals (okay, as okay as a newbie can be) and the mini, but we are wanting to know about ounting options for the brassavola (a little marmaid 'janet' - not blooming) and whether to mount the vanda or hang in slotted wood basket.
as you can see, we tend to be enthusiastic.
we have set up two flourescent lighting systems with times, and have a temp gauge and humidity meter.
I'll post our list (with what info we have) and pics. Since these were all bought at big box stores, a couple seem to have some problems with overwatering (esp the phals)
anyway, I'll be posting my many questions here, as you all see so friendly and knowledgable.
I'm always open for video chat and skype, and can't wait to get input.
Many thanks in advance, can't wait to get more involved.
p.s. - i am a horrible typist.
