Hello From Baltimore Maryland
I just wanted to say hello to everyone as I am a newbie at raising orchids. I have a Phalaenopsis that was given to be that I killed by accident from watering it to much. I recently purchase another one that I am learning to take care of that is why I joined the orchidboard. So far I have made the blooms fall off by pulling all the sphagnum moss out of the orchid and replacing it with a orchid bark mix. I have moved the orchid into my front room where the light shines most bright during the day. I placed it on a dresser with a curtain that is on the thinner side in front of the orchid at the window. I am not sure if this will be to much light or be just right. It gets the light all day long but the brightest is in the late afternoon. I have a ceiling fan that runs most of the time in this room so the air circulates. If I am missing anything could someone please tell me. I was also told to water the orchid every 4 days because its in bark in a slotted pot.
