Hello from Spokane!
Hi guys!
My name is Raven. I have grown orchids since I was about 13. My first orchid was a zygopetalum hybrid who is no longer with us as the dog got to her :( I have a small collection of orchids and would consider myself a beginner. I know the basics but have only recently started branching out to other types of orchids rather than phals and oncidiums. I look forward to learning more about orchids from you guys and expanding my collection! Thanks! |

Welcome to the board. What types of orchids have captivated you recently, what are you branching out into? |

Welcome to Orchidboard! :waving
You're going to learn a lot if you stick around here, and you'll also get a lot more orchids... Orchidboard does a good job of making you want to buy every orchid in sight! :biggrin: |

Spokane can get hot and dry in summer. Think now about how you're going to keep them well lit, but not too hot, and keep the humidity up. You have plants that want very bright light, all the way down to bright but full shade.
Most of the plants you mentioned will do well together all year from the point of temperature, if you can keep the humidity a little higher than outside. The Phal. amboinensis needs warmer temperatures than the other ones will tolerate. Try not to let it get below 60 F / 15C. The Maxillaria variabilis will prefer the coolest summer temperatures you can give it. |
my windowsill faces west however i have a huge chestnut tree that covers the window so they get bright indirect sunlight all day and warmer shade in the afternoon. my plants seem to do really well here. thank you for all the tips!

And the list grows ;)
