I am not very good with intros.

I live in the arid desert southwest in New Mexico near the Texas pan-handle. Very dry zone 6. I am mainly sticking with Phalenopsis orchids, simply because I don't want to move too far outside my comfort zone. This is fine for me. The fact that there is very little humidity has been a problem to the roots. Basically, I would soak the roots for 10 to 20 minutes and in a few hours the bark would be totally dry. I have finally come across plastic slotted flower pots. This slows the drying time.


I hope to learn much more.
Thank You Optimist
