Here to stop the insanity

[Kokothefirst]

Boy, have I killed me some orchids.

New guy here, located in K/W Ontario, just outside of Toronto. When I was in an apartment, I managed to kill every phal that came through my door. I've since purchased a home, and now have about 2 orchids per room. My wife is starting to get frustrated. I'm here to learn everything I can to avoid future orchid massacre.

My phals no longer die off, in fact they seem quite happy! So I've progressed. I have 3 mature plants other than Phal. 2 I believe to be Catleya, but I can't be certain. The 3rd I have no idea... I'll post pics when they're flowering again in a few months.

I've also received seedlings of a Phaius, Dendrobium, and a Cymbidium. The last of these... not doing so well. I'll be searching for what I need to turn this little guys fortunes around.

Looking forward to learning. Koko.
