Hi all--

I've kept orchids pretty unsuccessfully off and on for a number of years--wish I'd found this site sooner!

I've gotten interested in the use of orchids in vivariums/paludariums (and actually have a few growing successfully in those settings, probably due to dumb luck rather than knowing what on earth I'm doing), as well as windowsill culture, and realize there's more to learn than I ever realized. Thanks in advance for putting up with my "dumb newbie" questions--I suspect I will have a lot of them!

Catherine

Monika--

Thanks! I'm at that state right now where there's so much I don't know I'm not even sure where to start--and orchid books are not the most commonly available things (or the most up to date) either....

Welcome to a great place to how to care for your orchids, when I joined I had 1000s of question about them, but learned how every one is willing to help out and I don't think any question is silly or dumb, we all come here to learn more

Welcome Catherine;
Yeah I agree - books are great, but they can't answer YOUR question, only ones that they foresee and write about.
This Board is great - lots of very knowledgeable growers, and lots of friendly people in general - it seems that many orchid growers (myself included) love to work with and talk about orchids with anyone at any time. Feel free to ask any question - the only dumb or silly one is one you DON'T ask when you should; often it will cost you.
Best of experiences -
Steve

Hi Catherine!

Always happy to have more enthusiasts on here. You'll find you will always learn something new with orchids, especially if you get into the habit of falling in love with plants you didn't know existed before someone put a picture up!

Enjoy your time here
