Default Hello

Hello !

I just started growing orchids so I will need a lot of help from everyone. Right now I have a problem with very small black flying bugs. Don't know what to treat them with.
My orchids are in full bloom and don't want to hurt them. Can anyone help me?

Thank you,
Bobbeeann

Glad to have you on 'board'

They may be coming from the medium .. you might want to repot your orchid into fresh medium at some point ..

Bobbeeann Welcome to the OB!

Orchids are addictive indeed, hence the OB

We hope you have a great time here, I am sure you will find all the help you need.

This is a great addiction. enjoy it and of course we'll be here to help you with it. Also here at the OB we like to see of our member chids; whenever you have a change upload some.
