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.

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,

Welcome to the forum.

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

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
