Hello everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nadia. I am new person to the world of orchids. I recently purchased moth orchids and fell in love with them but I lack a lot of info and experience with them so I am hoping to learn.

Thank You!!!!

Welcome Nadia - you are in luck - there is a ton of information available about phalaenopsis orchid growing! Of course this forum, books, other internet sights, etc. There are some good culture sheets on the American Orchid Society site - http://www.aos.org/aos/orchids/page01.aspx
Two key points - be careful not to overwater (too often) and do not put in bright sunlight - bright INDIRECT light is best. The leaves can take some early morning or late afternoon - but be VERY careful - if the leaves get warm they will burn with not enough air movement to cool them - best to stay out of the sun initially. Enjoy! mike

Welcome, Nadia.

I am new to the forum too and I have learnt a lot in a few days, though it has been passive learning so far.

We will have joy in learning.
