Hello all!!
Very warm greetings from Suriname a small country in northern South America.

I got my beautiful orchid on mothersday 3 years ago. Ever since then I was hooked. Thanks to the orchidboard and other internet resources I'm able to keep my plants healthy and blooming. Very often it is looking for the right conditions for my plants in this extremely warm weather and high humidity. I would really like some tips on growing orchids under these circumstances. I have a lot of questions that i will certainly be asking in the near future!!!

Thank you!!

Hi melatie,
Welcome to the OB.

This is a great place to learn about orchids and to meet lots of friendly people.
What kind of orchids do you have?

Mostly I have dendrobiums. Don't ask for the names. Most plants sold here are sold 'nameless'

. I'll post some pics asap for some help on names?

Anyways...I also have some cattleya or blc and vandacious ones. Though most of my plants bloom regularly 3 have not yet bloomed since I bought them almost 2 years ago. What could be the problem here?

Lately spots like yellowish discoloration have formed on the leaves of my dens??

For clarity I will post some pics very soon

!

Thank u for all the (very) quick comments. I really appreciate it.
