I had to come home to find a site to help me with my first purchase of three orchids. All I know is their name, and that they are starting to bloom. Oh, yes, and that I need to water thoroughly when dry, but not too often. The tag also suggests fertilization. I need advice! These were bought in a store in a pot with bark and then placed in a clay pot. They look fabulous, but do I replant them, mist them?? What sites should I go to for general info??
Many thanks, Denise

Okay, D...moved

You've found the greatest place for learning about growing orchids and enjoying some time with a very cool group of people

We're really photo fans so if you could please...

Where are you located? Will you be growing your new 'chids indoors?

You'll find all your answers right here...all you need to do is ask

Woah! First of all, welcome....

Then, give us a clue of which 'chids you are asking about. Each has their own needs (just like kids in real life).
