I'm a native Floridian, so have been growing orchids in my backyard for awhile. I'm one of those "Leave them alone and see what happens" types of growers, and I've had a fair amount of success with that philosophy
However, I'd like to branch out and try growing some orchid types that I've had the least success with. Dendrobiums, oncidiums, and cattleyas grow like weeds in my backyard (I actually just finished repotting a monster oncidium who was in desparate need of splitting into about 12 new pots). I have very BAD luck trying to grow my orchids indoors, and I'd like to have some "indoor cats", so to speak. I've had really bad luck with paphs (probably too hot here for these) and phals. I also have a cymbidium that I'd like to see flower but again; I'm afraid it's too hot here in FL for that to happen without some ICU work. But I'm a med student, so I don't exactly have the time to dedicate to that. Thanks!
