Coming out of the Green house

[nettie]

My name is Nettie and I was just toodling around and came across this forum so I decided to jump in and say hi.

I belong to the local Sacramento Orchid Society and I have about 70 - 90 orchids in various stages. I started with Orchids heavily about a year ago and have been full steam ever since. I have learned that moss and I don't mix because many of my orchids have acquired root rot. Talk about disappointing but try try again.

Have a wonderful evening everyone

Hi Nettie,

Welcome to the OB! So glad you joined!

Hi Nettie!

welcome!

Welcome aboard, Nettie. I am moss challenged too, except for two or three plants I have that just would not do anything for me in bark. Feel free to jump right in, and have fun.

Hi Nettie and welcome to Orchid Board

Like you, I don't generally get on with moss except on my Masdies and Restrepia which seem to like it.

Welcome to the Orchid Board!!! We are growing so fast it's hard to keep up with all the new members. Hope you'll find help for all your problems here. Post some pics too, we love em.

Welcome to the OB Nettie.

DOWN WITH MOSS! I'm a bark person too. I second the call for pics - we'd love to catch a peek inside your greenhouse.

See ya round the OB.
