Mostly bark. The problem with my area is not so much the heat (although 90-100 degree days isn't great) but the dryness. Currently, they can pull through with watering once a week, although I usually...

Automatic watering for orchids?

Has anyone had success with any sort of automatic watering system, either DIY or commercial?

I have a pretty good good collection of 20+ orchids, mostly phals but a few oncidiums, dendros, epis,...

Is there such thing as a safe systemic insecticide for mealybugs?

I have a moderate to bad infestation of mealybugs on all my phals, my fault for not identifying them sooner. So far, I've been using alcohol and Safer Soap, it's working but they keep returning.

What determines number of blooms on spike?

I guess this can apply to any species but I have mostly phals and oncidiums. When I got them a year or two ago, they came with a good 10 or so blooms on each spike. When I get them to rebloom...

There's decorative green moss at the top of the pot. There appear to be roots in the pot (alive? dead?) in a mix of fine bark (at least I hope it's not soil) and perlite. It's bone dry. I'm thinking...

Is there any hope for this dendrobium?

I offered to take my friend's dying dendro to see what I can do for it, but I'm not sure what that is.

My modus operandi is to first repot, but I'm afraid that will shock the plant of it's final...

How often do you repot?

Straightforward question. Speaking mostly for phals and oncidiums. Do you repot only when necessary I.e.when it's outgrowing the pot or medium breaking down or do you repot annually before the...

If that's the case, would oncidiums be better off in fine bark? I thought I had made a newbie mistake potting them in fine bark, so I quickly moved them to medium bark in net pots a few months ago....

How dry to you let your orchids get before watering?

I've got mostly phals, a few catts, dendrobium, epis and oncidiums. Most are in medium bark, a few in fine bark, sphag and coarse bark.

I've mostly read, especially in beginner guides, not to...

Yes! However, I may start with just a small table. I might upgrade to an orchid rack later, and whether I do or don't, it probably won't stay in one place in my house for long. Which is why I need to...

I'll admit, you did lose me there. Are you basically saying the white LED floodlight should be ok?
