Oh, trust me, once the orchid bug bites, you're done, there's no turning back
All I can say, I am a young female and I can't tell you the last time I went clothes or shoes shopping - but I can sure as hell remember the last time I bought an orchid!
Your collection will start growing, slowly but surely (maybe not slowly, e.g. I went crazy a few weeks ago and got 15 plants at once..it was a nursery visit, nobody judge me!)
Oh and there are so many orchids in this world
There might be plants that will not like your environment, and there will be others that will totally love it, it's all about trying, knowing what works for you.
I started as an over-waterer, than changed my media to pure bark and became an under-waterer
Lost two phals to that, but since then I found my spot somewhere in between
What I found best for me is having one or two orchids in pure bark, or something that dries out very fast, so I can water them every other day and they keep me busy, while the rest of the plants need more time to get to another watering point. That way I do not over water my plants and my urge to water every day is fulfilled and yet not overwhelming, as it really is just two plants that need my attention often
