Hi from an orchid addict wannabe

[lexie]

Hi everyone,
I’m not new to these forum as I have previously posted about a dendrobium I had. I have never formally introduced myself so here goes...My name is Lexie. Thanks all for sharing of your knowledge on Orchids. A couple of years ago I fell in love with a Brassavola nodosa sold at our local farmers market (never bought it, dang!). Anyway, thus began my gathering of plants galore. I tried to grow pikake, begonias, and of course, a couple of orchids. All of my plants died through my being overwhelmed, lack of knowledge and neglect over several months. At the end of the year, I cleared out a bunch of the dead. I found only two “survivors” - a tiny stellamizutaara and a psychopsis. So I am starting from scratch with these two (I DO have a white Phal sitting on my desk). I hope I will be wiser and lucky this year with them.

Thanks for the welcome. The amount of information here can be overwhelming but I’m open to learning how to care for my two survivors so they can thrive!
