| Hi Sandra,
I had about 200+ orchids when i lived in the US (they are now being taken care of by a friend until my CITES export papers are approved). I grew them all in my apartment balcony which had been turned into a sun room before i moved in. Eastern exposure.
I've lived in Melbourne Australia for almost 3 years now and have about 550 plants, almost all Paphs, growing on metal shelving units in a window. Melbourne is a little cool in the winter to grow many Paphs outdoors but there are a lot fo things we can grow outside without difficulty, namely Cymbidiums, Australian native Dendrobiums and terrestrials, and other things like Zygos and Lycastes, the cool growing Coelogyne and other things. So effectively I'm windowsill grosing with some things outside.
Um....can you clarify what you meant when you said you, "cut back the roots" on one of your new orchids?
