Hello

Hello everyone,

Just joined so I'm introducing myself. I have been growing orchids for about 15 years now but I am by no means an expert. I am hoping to expand my knowledge on this site.


Regards


L.

Hi, and thanks for the welcome.

I have mostly Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium Hybrids with some Paphiopedilums, Cymbidiums and Lycastes and have been pretty succesful in growing and flowering these. Am now looking to expand into other species and hybrids and would welcome advice from others as to what they reccomend.

Regards

L.

Hi L. and welcome to the forum. Would love to see some pics of your orchids when you
can post. Great people here with lots of helpful information. I'm interested in what types
of Lycastes you are growing. Been thinking about picking up some and giving them a try.

Hi Purplefraise and welcome to the forum! I to would like to know what kinds of Lycastes you are growing and how you are growing them. I have been interested in one specific Lycaste (longipetela) and I'm contemplating my chances with it.
