Orchid Maryland - New to Forum

[archie1709]

Hi everyone! I used to casually keep orchids (mainly Phals) from grocery stores and home depots. I normally end up accidentally smothering them to death after a bloom.

Finally, I was able to take one particular phal seriously and after a bloom, went to youtube and watched how people care about them. To date, one of the spike has grown a keiki plant which made me very happy. It has also grown new roots and a new leaf.

I have since bought Catts online, as well as a phal seedling.

Currently, my orchids are:

• Slc Circle of Life x Malworth Orchidglade
• Chocolate Drop 'Kodama' Cattleya
• Lc Island Springs 'Lenette' Cattleya
• Blc Super Spring 'Starburst' Cattleya
• three other cattleya seedlings
• phaleanopsis equestris 'Tom' seedling

Three more on their way:

• Blc Dr Joe Watson 'Ray Mishima' Cattleya
• Blc Elsa Hall 'Newberry' Cattleya
• Lc Mari's Magic 'H & R' Cattleya

I'd like to begin by saying it is an honor to be a part of this forum and I hope to learn more from everyone.

Now that I am starting this collection indoors, what is the best way to shelve these specimen? Also, any beginner's advice regarding care for these catts and phals will be much appreciated.
