Hi Everyone
I came across this site thru another orchid forum. I've been lurking for a week or so and thought I'd post. I live in Palm
Bay Fl. I have quite a few (73 at last count) orchids, mainly cattleya and dendrobiums. I have four vanda that are on their last legs. I have them for about five years, no blooms and loss of leaves. I also have no luck with Phals. Originally I have over 130 cats on shelves around the pool which has a screen enclosure. They did not do well. I've moved them back under the patio roof, hoping the get more color and bloom a little better. My pool faces south, so I think the sun is too strong from sunup to sunset. I hope to learn from this forum. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures, I will share my flowers.
