Morning,

A friend of mine introduced me to the board and of course anything to do with orchids....have to sign up for.

I have been growing orchids since about 1994 - just an amateur at it though.

At present I have about 120 orchids. I also grow African Violets. Love my plants!

Looking forward to sharing and learning!

Joanne

Good Morning Joanne,

Welcome to the OB! Lots of good stuff in here and several Albertans (yeah for us!!).
What types of orchdis do you grow....how are you growing?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Well I grow Phals, Phrags, Den. a few Cats...wish I had more. Masd, Quite a few mini's...

I just got myself a ghost orchid that is the cutest thing you ever did see and it has no leaves only roots and I have it in a small clear water bottle as it likes stagnant air.

I also have a Psychopsis Papillo which is about to bloom....been looking for that one for a long time.

I really like different but easy.

I mostly grow in coconut. My masd. and some of my phals I have in LFM (long fibre moss)

I grow under lights and sunshine.

Hope to learn and share!

Joanne
