I have finally gotten the hang of this!
 

Hi everyone!! Looks like with the superb advice on the OB and the help of SuperThrive I am FINALLY able to grow orchids and not kill them. Even the ones I tried to kill are recovering nicely!:blushing:
I have roots and leaves popping out everywhere! I wanted to say big THANK YOU to everyone who has talked me down off the ledge, gave me advice on growing, lighting, EVERYTHING. I truly believe if it weren't you all, my collection would be non-existent! :thankyou:gh

Well, here they are!!!

And some more pictures!

WHOOO-HOOO
 

:iagree: :wtg:

awesome job amanda!
I am interested in how you have the 'sick' plants - just some rocks with a bit of water in a cup? I have a catt that has been declining quickly and think I may like to try your method!

way good growing!

Well Done Amanda! excellent work! keep it up and keep us posted!

Thanks, WhiteRabbit!! Yeah, the sickies get a tall plastic container with some stones and water. I mist them daily with SuperThrive and have noticed tremendous progress with them. I didn't take the same approach with the catts and it seems it took them forever to start growing roots and new pbulbs. I will never run out of SuperThrive, I have had a great deal of growth since using it.

Thanks, nenella! I'm so happy I can barely contain myself! I can't wait for some flowers though! That's the next step!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! They look great. You are doing something right.

Will you please explain what the lights are over your plants? I could use one like that.

I know the feeling, when all of a sudden things click and the roots go wild! Nice job and show us pictures when they finally reward you with blossoms!
