Hi Guys
Im located in the South African highveld/ Pretoria
I have been growing orchids since 2016 August.
Currently have over 200 in my collection.
I grow everything from Ascocentrum to Zygopetalum but especially love Stanhopea and Acineta.
I have installed a wetwall in order to grow Dracula and Masdevallia
I also enjoy growing indigenous South African bulbs/ geophytes and love hiking and nature in general.
Hope to learn alot from the collective experience on this forum.
Regards
Yusuf

Welcome, Yusuf:)

I'm curious about your wetwall. Can you post some photos?

Thank you

Welcome to the OB Yusuf 🙂
I'm also interested in this wet wall!

Welcome to the Orchid Board!

I have a number of winter-rainfall S African bulbs.

Welcome Yusuf!

Welcome to the OB! It sounds like you are in an ideal location to enjoy the hobby of growing orchids.

:hello Would love to hear more about the Stans. and Acineta in the collection. I've 4 that challenge me. TY

Hi everyone.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I will post pics of the wetwall and orchids once i figure out how!

Welcome, I look forward to pics of your natives!
The first thing you'll need to do to post pics is post a few more times. You need to have made 5 posts before you can add pics iirc.

My Stanhopea connata just bloomed !
Will post pics when I can.
