I started collecting orchids about 10 years ago when I lived in Brazil. Hot rainy summers, and cool dryish winters. So easy. Just buy them, put them in my trees, and away they went. All sorts of orchids, and I only ever lost one.
I now live in Portugal, and am finding it a totally different ball-game. Hot dry summers and cool damper winters. Due to googling to find out what my orchids are suffering from, (seems to be rot in general;a lot of the orchids arrive in the shops in decomposing damp bark) I have learned a lot about them, and am trying different ways to care for them. Orchid Board has been a regular source of info.
I presently have some phalaenopsis, a dendrobium phal, and a vanda. I did have some cambria orchids, but I didn´t manage to keep them going. Will try again with them, tho.
Thanks again.
