Hello there:
I only started with Orchids last summer after visiting an Orchid show at Scone Palace, Scotland.
I'm a complete beginner and trying to learn everything I can to keep my orchids going.
I bought some Oncidiums, a cambria and was given a Cymbidium. I believe these ar cool/intermediate orchids and I keep them on a north facing window (which I know isn't ideal) however I only have a South facing window in the living room and West in the kitchen.
I also have a jewel orchid.
I live in Scotland on a croft so the temperatures can get quite cold.
I keep the orchids on a tray of pebbles and have Bloom fertiliser for them which I use 1 in 3 waterings but I don't water too much. I do spray them with rainwater.
My problem is that a couple of the orchids have yellowing leaves and one in particular that I repotted- the Cymbidium- it's bulbous section is slightly shrivelled.
The jewel orchid has some fading leaves too. This has been moved to the middle of the room on a divider so it is warmer.
I would really appreciate any advice, suggestions and help to keep my orchids going.
I did wonder if I should purchase some kind of heated mat to maintain temeprature.
I look forard to hearing from anyone
Regards
Janice
Hello
They also like very high light so if you can get it to a place where it will receive as much light as possible, just short of burning the leaves, it'll be much happier
