Hi & welcome to the forum, Virgil.
I know what you mean about wanting to handle and pay attention to the individual needs of orchids. I have just over 100 and am thinking of cutting down the number. For one, I don't have a greenhouse and grow most of my orchids indoors. Another reason is that I've narrowed down to a few types of orchids (mainly mini/small ones) I like to grow and know will thrive in my environment.
That's wonderful your grand-daughter is interested in orchids. If your collection grows again, you know who will assist you in caring for them.
