Hello!

Hello all,

I am a beginner in orchid planting. I love orchid but I never have any luck with it staying alive for more than a year. Hopefully after doing more research and seeking advices from you all experts, I can learn a few tricks to keep them healthy and happy. I recently bought 2 beautiful Phalaenopsis and hope to keep growing generation after genration of beautiful orchids. Attach is the photo of my two new babies. Happy to join the forum, I already learned a few tips in the Newbie section. Thanks!

Hi & welcome to the forum, kit!

In your pic, I noticed you're using the skewer method already. Good! I also noticed you're using small tiles, instead of pebbles, in your humidity tray. That's different and creative. I like!
