Hey we were all beginners once, lol, I still consider myself a beginner! I have only been actually doing better with them since around March! I only two before then and I don't know how they didn't die, lol! I have 16 now. Don't worry it will start out small and then before you know it you be running out of room and engineering fancy things for them! (shelves, lights, humidifiers (well you won't need that huh?) and baskets) We are all enablers and always condone buying more, lol, and it is contagious too! Feel free to post as much as you want! Especially pictures :-)

Bkim, is that yours? Congratulations, It's absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!! I hope mine will turn out like that after a few years and lots of superthrive, heheh...
Thanks!

Kid a,
thanks for your support, I grow them in my balcony (is that right?), so space is a problem, right now I have 20 plants, hope to expand a little more..hehehe....I'll post some of my plants and photos from exhibitions in Brazil...

Hi & welcome to the forum, Renata! Love your avatar.

I have a few rupiculous (miniature) Laelias and several Laelia hybrids in my collection. Love them.

Hello and welcome. I'm a beginner too but just recently bought so many orchids I can hardly keep up. Just crossing my fingers that they won't all die on me. Nice to have you on the forum and I for one don't mind seeing all the orchids you have in bloom. I love pictures and sounds like you have lots.

Welcome to the forum!

I have only been growing for a year and have learned lots from this site. There are great knowledgeable people on here.

20 orchids? Can't wait to see the pictures! I started out slow with only a couple now I am up to 37!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum Renata. Great to have someone from Brazil. I have been
looking into growing more Laelias especially the rupiculous ones. Would love to visit
your country someday and see the orchids in their natural habitats.

Hi Tobi, if you have the chance come to Brazil, I'm sure it would be a fun trip, lots of orchids too!!!!!!!!!!
ARLENEG, SOLAY AND MY ORCHID, thank you very much !!! With time, I hope to post somethings I've been seeing on Expos around here...
But I'll write EXPO on the photo title, so it does't look like it's mine (I wish...)
Thanks!
