Hello from Florida, also

[louez]

Hi. Just joined a day ago. Already getting good advice on a problem. I have long wanted to share quarters with orchids. Now in a part of Florida where conditions favor growing and learning. A friend blessed me with a phal started from her plant. It has the company of 3 others — 1 phal, 1 Denod and 1 vanda — rescued from a mega home center where they were ready to die and at reduced prices of $2-5. It's been more than a month and all are showing signs of new growth except one that is feeling a little dry. But he's perking up today after a nice lukewarm dunk. I am looking to learn from this board. Hubby is implying 4 plants is the limit, um, but he doesn't understand orchid love.
