Done lurking... New from tennessee
I thoughy id quit lurking and finally register. I usually just work with central and south american cichlids and ball python morph but I recently got bit with the orchid bug. After rooting several epiphytic succulents cuttings I received from a friend to add to my bromeliad quartet in my snake/fish room, I stumbled across some discounted catts at lowes when I was looking for pots.
That started it and I spent quite a while lurking and trying to find a way to save my rootless catts. Ive potted and bagged their entire pots now. All the great info from this forum has new pbulb and root growth from all 3!
The success has had me searching locally in vain for paphs. Looking forward to getting to know you guys and gals and thanks for helping me save my new lil guys!

I think that may be the case! Probably just move the snakes. The tanks raise the humidity and are used to water all my plants. Works out very well! |

Welcome to Orchid Board.
Glad your Catts are starting to recover, sounds like you've done the right thing. Orchids really are an addiction  |

Some orchids don't like to grow in tanks, because they like good air movement, but as long as there is good ventilation and light, they will really look good in there!

I dont have any in a tank. Ive got them on shelving above the uncovered tank to take advantage of the evaporation.
Thanks for the warm welcome! |
