Hello from Montreal, Quebec!
Default Hello from Montreal, Quebec!

Hi everyone

I am a complete newbie to orchids (despite being one of the few people in the family with anything remotely close to a green thumb) and looking for some help, advice and to improve my skills.

As is the typical tale...my two beginner orchids were NOID Phals from the big box stores (as gifts)....who are not in the best of health at all. But it ain't over till there's nothing green left, so I'm hoping to turn them around.

Hope to learn a lot

Well welcome to the Orchid Board. First there is a great section on all about Phals. The Phal abuse ends here.
Read that section and then ask what ever questions you need to ask. We are here to help each other and share our experiences. So again welcome to the board.
Step#1- water once ever 7 to 10 days
Step#2 use half strength fertilizer when watering for 3 of the 4 weeks. Last week is plain water to flush all the salts out of the roots and pot.
Step#4 When you water don't get any water in the crown of the orchid. Wipe it out with a paper towel so your orchid don't rot.
Step #5 Give your orchid indirect light. You don't want to burn the leaves.
Step#6 Once you find a place it likes don't keep moving it. At first they will sulk when you bring them home of change the potting mixture. Just let it be and don't fuss over it. " that's the had part." Enjoy your orchid.
