Hi everyone!
I recently adopted several orchids from my grandpa who passed away. I have never taken care of orchids and have always thought I had a black thumb so to speak.
These used to live outdoors in Miami, Florida and now live in north central Florida. I am just hoping that they can make the adjustment. Sure enough the Phals are budding!
I created a hanging fixture below a yucca plant for some of them:
Another two are inside. Below is the best budding Phal I have:
The two other orchids I have are Cattleyas from what I can tell. Upon doing some research I learned that only the new pseudobulbs will produce spikes, so I need to repot them for sure as soon as the temp stops dropping to the 40s at night.
I have one orchid that I have no idea what kind of Cattleya it is (if it even is one). I will post pics of it soon in the ID subforum for help!
I look forward to contributing to this community and posting pics when (yes, when!) they bloom. Any comments or suggestions will always be appreciated!
Greetings from Florida!
Good job on keeping your orchids alive and budding!
