Hello from Cape Town
 

Hi Everyone

I live in Cape Town and I have only 2 orchids at the moment but I plan to get many more. Once I stop killing them that is ;)

At the moment I have the usual Phal and another orchid still have to identify. The Phal is sick, which is why Im here.

Hey hatter! I also have trouble with Phals... It's tricky to get the watering right - mine tend to rot.

Hi Hatter :)

Could you post a pic of the phal? Maybe we can help you bring it back to good health...and then it's time for more orchids! :bananaslide:

Hey, a fellow South African.
Welcome!

Welcome to the forum!!! I hope you enjoy it here, it's a great place to visit, read and learn.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Bolero - I posted about my sick phal on pests and diseases and had some good advice so I have repotted it and hopefully it will be ok. I have also had my other orchid identified as a dendrobium so now I have a better idea on looking after that one too. Now I just have to get some more ;)
