Talking Gday from Sydney, AUS

Gday, my name is Stephen and im located in Sydney, Australia. I have always been interested in orchids and aquariums for a long time, and have recent helped build a shade house for my orchids. Both my parents are orchids nutters too, they usually grow the Paphs, Phrags and Cyms. I love the Australian Natives such as Den. speciosums, but also love Paphs, Phrags and the spectacular Jewel orchids.

Around of house, i have orchids growing everywhere. I have a large collection growing on the side of my carport which recieves sunlight in the morning and some afternoon sun. I also have a carport kind of structure but instead of metal sheets i got 70% shadecloth over it. That area mainly has Den. speciosums and Cyms.

In my room (next to the window and my aquarium), i got some Paph seedlings and some other small orchids. The bathroom is also occupied with orchids, i got my collection of Phals. They love the humidity and high temps

I am now researching on the types of ways to grow Jewel orchids. All of a sudden i feel in love with them! I notice many people grow them in terrarium, i have many unused aquariums i could use.

Hope to learn heaps on here
Stephen

Hi Stephen! Welcome to the OB!

I have a jewel orchid, they are VERY easy to grow. With all your experience, you should have no problem growing these little gems!

Hi Stephen and Marion and others

I'm sure there are lots of Aussies here who are orchid nutters (much to my wifes shagrin!). I seem to spend all spare time after working, looking after the kids, and studying tending to the orchid menagerie.

I'm also in Sydney (northern beaches).

Anyway, you'll find most people friendly and very helpful so either search for help, post questions or keep everyone informed about your progress. You'll see my name pop up from time to time!!

Cheers

John
