Thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself even though I've already been posting.
I've been fascinated with growing orchids for years, but all I seemed to do was kill them. The first ones I drowned (I worried that in my dry climate, they wouldn't get enough water)
Once I realized I didn't need to keep them submerged, I wasn't able to provide enough light. I thought that I'd never be able to grow orchids.
I ended up getting a new job, and with the new job came a new office with a south-facing window covered with a transparent blind. I got fantastic light, and thought I'd try again. I got a couple of orchids from one of the big-box stores thinking that if I killed these, I wouldn't be out a lot of cash. Imagine my surprise when I didn't kill them immediately.
Since I didn't kill my orchids, I wanted to join an online community to learn more about my new babies. Glad I found this one!

Penguin. Glad to have you aboard. What types of orchids are you growing? 
are always welcome
One you've got that, you're good! It sounds like you are already figuring things out on your own, so good job. There is a ton of information here, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
