Wonderful day, wonderful site..

Hi everyone! My name is Marina. Wanted to look for some helpful information about how to make my orchid happy. I've only got one so far--Phalaenopsis, it was a home warming gift from a friend. Looking forward to chat with you all.

phalaenopsis have a culture sheet available at http://www.aos.org/aos/orchids/docum...lturephals.pdf

they are really easy to care for, we would love to see pictures of yours (in bloom or not!)

Welcome! Well, we know how many orchids you have, just one! ... don't know if you saw the thread on how many orchids do you have, but looking at that thread, and also the cattleya thread started by sandra gives a good example of the kind of serious help and knowledge you can count on here. best luck,
-colin

Welcome to the forum!

Can't wait to see any photos of your Phal.

Jay

P.S. Only one just means that there is room for more. We all started with just one.

Hi Marinamore,

Welcome to the forum.

My first orchid was also a house-warming gift. Now, I have over 100...got them all within 3 years.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you very much for the warm welcome!! I'm getting my photos (not in bloom) and questions ready.. for now I'm browsing the forum and see if someone already had the same problem as I do.. After a quick look at the site, I think I have finally found help I was looking for!! Thank you once again!

Bolero: I'm Russian) Marina is originally a Greek name meaning "sea".. (that explains why I like swimming so much) Say hi to your Romanian friend
