Orchid Lover from Michigan

[kcole321]

I'm an orchid lover who enjoys growing. A neophyte, to be sure, but I do have a little experience.

I'm currently using regular T12 flourescents fixtures, with a cool white and a warm white in each fixture. I'm also using daylight bulbs in some cases. I'm getting ready to purchase a Sun Blaze T5 fixture (2 ft, 4 bulb). Picked that one since it's the only one I can afford.

The following is my list of orchids:

Brassia 'Shooting Star' x 'Dark Star'

Dendrobium nobile

Epi Pacific Flame 'Fiery Sunset'

Onc. 'Sang Chan'

Paph Coultienianum "France" x Paph laweranceanum "Tradition'

Phal (Ken Peterson x Mama Cass) 'Pine Ridge 3' 'Summer Beach'

Phal 3J Dtps Sweet Melody x P Sparkle Rose

Phal Salu Peoker

Phal NOID (White with purple accents)


All of these have flowered for me, except the Epi, which is new.

Thanks to all of you out there who are willing to help us beginners out!!
