Hello from NYC Metro Area
 

Hello, I'm pretty new to orchids but have a moderate houseplant collection that is always growing. I've always avoided orchids because of their alleged finicky nature but took the plunge and bought a M. tenuifolia that will arrive in a few weeks which I hope I can keep alive.

I'm not really a forum person as I've found them to be a little... not so welcoming in the past but am finding many FB groups are not so helpful either. So I'm hoping to meet some friendly, knowledgeable people and learn more about orchids!

Hello and welcome! You'll like it here!:)

Hi neighbor! Hey,we all started like you,killed our fair share of plants but that's how we learn. Read as much as you can,know your growing environment and ask away. TY for joining us. :waving

Welcome to the Orchid Board!

Welcome! It starts with 1 orchid, but that's like eating one potato chip. You will find lots of friendly advice and encouragement here!

Welcome!
