Hello

Hello everyone
Im fairly new to growing orchids and looking for any helpful tips. Im addicted to my 8 phalaenopsis orchids- i check them 2 or 3 times a day to make sure they are ok and just to look at them! Anyone that has any helpful hints on general care would be very welcomed.

Welcome crazyblue! It's so nice to have you here on the forum. It is an excellent place to gain information on all types of orchids. We have quite a few members from the UK as well.

This is a good place to go for basic Phal care: AOS | Home

You might want to read the 'Newbies' section for some good growing tips also. This is one of my favorite tips to recommend to Newbies; it helps greatly with knowing when to water regardless of which medium you use. http://www.orchidgeeks.com/forum/orc...f-orchids.html

Nice meeting you, and Enjoy!!

Hi crazyblue! I'm the same way with my orchids! The AOS sheets that phalpal suggested are good. I just search thru the threads in this forum also- I've learned a lot that way. Glad to have you with us!

Hi crazyblue! The website phalpal gave you has great culture sheets on phals and other orchids, so they should help you out a lot with basic questions. If you have other specific questions, feel free to ask, or search for other related threads I have the same "problem" though, I seem to zone out just looking at my orchids and how pretty they are! Maybe it's a good thing!
