Hi Marjorie, You will have a great time growing orchids. Just in case you still haven't been able to find the "Phal abuse stops here" thread here is a link:
http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ends-here.html
It will give you all kinds of great information.
I know what you mean about conflicting advise on the internet. I have found this board to be very good about giving accurate advise. Sometimes there are disagreements but they are usually given with an explanation so you can figure which answer is right for your situation.
