Hi everyone,
About a month ago my grandma passed away, and I brought her orchids home. Unfortunately I didn't have space to keep them all, but I didn't want to give them away either. I thought it'd be a good idea to mount them on a tree that is a few yards from where I live, this way I could still enjoy them.
People saw me mounting and started asking if they could bring their old orchids, because they didn't know how to care for them. Well.. amazingly I started with 6 and ended up with 20+ orchids, which got me kind of excited to start an orchid project to get orchids on all the trees around here.
Right now temperatures are cool at night, with pleasant, sunny days. The ocean breeze keeps humidity high and in the mornings there's dew everywhere. For some reason this seem to be the perfect weather for the orchids, because I checked today and
ALL of them already have roots growing on the tree.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this project with you here. For now it's mostly no id phals, but I'll get some native cattleyas and oncidiums to make things more interesting.
I also would like to hear suggestions
Here are some pics (it doesn't look like much, I know):
