Well, count me among growers that have killed orchids
I read that if you are in it long enough, you have to have some RIP plants. I put 2 orchids in S/H a few months ago. Both in great shape, but I guess one wasn't ready for S/H. The one I murdered was a Blc Laura Bush ' Carmela ' the other is a Cattleya loddigesii v Harrisoniana. The former is doing great in S/H and growing new roots and rhizomes. I ordered me a new Laura Bush 'Carmela ' because they are so pretty. Wish me luck with the new one.
