A Newbie from Scotland

[Scotkat]

Just came aboard here as a newbie to growing orchids and adore them but will need a lot of help.

Just wanted to say
I got a beautiful Cybidium Orchid for valentines day from my husband ,but took it back at the weekend as had noticed 1 week ago all the blooms were droping off and it was light even though I ad been watering it.

Onfurther infestigation it was in a 4inch pot outgrowing the pot an dplanted in a tall 12" terracotta plastic slim pot.

they were not keen to replace but di devenually .

Shall post a before and after photo.

I bought clay orchid pelets and the guy in th enursery said for me to put th epellots on a saucer and pot orchid ontop of saucer .

As I am anewbie is this what I should do?

I dont want to loose this one.
