Hello all! I'm Erin AKA Blooming Orchid. I'm in the burbs of NE Philli. I have a slew of orchids. It all started with my husband giving me a phal as a gift. I was terrified! I have a green thumb...OUTSIDE! I tend to kill house plants. So I don't know what made him think I could keep an Orchid alive! Well I quickly learned the basics...and from there acquired a "few" more orchids. We are to the point now where we are putting new window sills in to accommodate my growing collection.
I recently acquired a group of Phals just out of community pots. Some died
Some made it
I think the trip in the mail did some of them in and a few got cooked
To much sun I'm thinking! But the rest I moved and hopefully they will make it.
I have mostly Phals, Dens, & Cyms. I got brave and got a few other types & a Vanda...who is alive but her spike died
I'm working on a new Vanda house for her. I'm thinking one of my old reptile tanks will help meet her requirements. Shes a prissy one!
Any advice & info on the Vanda or the Community pot kids is welcome!
Thanks!
