Hi everyone!

My addiction started when I was living in AA Michigan. I had a couple of phalaenopsis orchids. But I had to give them away when I moved to the Philippines a month ago. I bought a vanda orchid last month, and then two days ago I bought a dendrobium, then yesterday I was able to get a cutting from 2 different oncidium orchids! +super excited+ I hope all of them will survive. +yikes!+ I already killed 3 phalaenopsis back in MI. ~.~ So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you for the welcome. I know! Orchids loooove the weather here. Humidity is like 88%-90% everyday!

I don't have to worry about how many times to mist per day and keeping it on top of pebbles etc, <3 plus I could move them outside or inside the house, there is no winter time where I get stressed out keeping the humidity up and the temps warm enough.
