| Hi again,
Thanks for the welcome everyone....to all around the world....it,s nice to see some orchid geeks here in ohio.and others around the world as well...I live in Marion ohio...north of columbus..and yes!!.it would be nice to keep track of our purdy orchids here in ohio,to see how well they do,and the techniques that keeps them healthy around here in our zone..we can share our secrets to keeping healthy orchids...but im a newbe...so I dont have any yet!!...hint!!..will get to that later.
I see wonderful photo,s in here(I love pics toO)..some of them needs some picture frames around them in here.I never new there were so many different kinds of orchids in so many colors....I really been missing out threw the years...Ill dust off my 4.0 pixel camera off soon, and take some pics of the ones i got now, and share, like you all do here,and show you where they will be grown at indoors in my apartment..and pics of them threw time.I have always been a plant freak threw my hole life,..got over 50 house plants now....plant freak=cruz!!!.im not new to them..but I am new to orchids..and there demands to keep them healthy for years to come...I never kept anything that would flower inside, I didnt think I was gettin enough light to make them flower..but im gonna fix that...I planted a tomato seed back in feb as a ginny pig,to see if i could make it flower inside buy the window...it never did untill 4 feet later ,,and 4 inches from a compact fluorescent,it flowerd today.so Im thinking ,my orchids may not flower, untill i give them more power...there are flowers on them when I bought them....but I need to keep them going.
I have been into coral reef tanks almost 10 years now..as these take a high demand of light to keep them as well...got 250 watts on a 20 gallon...my living room is one bright room from it....now its time to light up my ochids,I want some more flowers..and think I have everything to do it with....just gotta put it togather.
Again!!...thanks everyone...when I get enough post on here!!...Ill show pics of my project ,the set up for my orchids,and ill have plenty of questions sometime soon.theres some great people here..as a orchid could bring new friends.....Have a great day.
