I have four Phalaeonopsis plants and they are for the most part doing ok. One is recovering from some white bug infestation (I repotted with new material but it is taking some time after blooming to become healthy again). I know about the proper fertilizer for blooming, but I wonder if I should just use a fertilizer for leaf growth for a while? Or does it matter? Or, just for the sickly one?

Angraecum something or hybrid -- preferably one with multiple blooms, as long/often as possible
Beallara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream' -- IF it has a fragrance.
Brassovola nodosa -- Also interested in other Brassovolas and the hybrids, anything smelly with lots of flowering.
Cattleya walkeriana and/or hybrids-- violet! fragrance!

I have not felt like posting for a while now. The two forested areas I used to frequent and observe the wild orchids in bloom have been cut down and burned to prepare the area for farming. Now I have no areas in walking distance of my house. It is sad that there is very little respect for nature here in Nicaragua.

I adopted an orchid and was told it would bloom around March, well not to my surprise it started budding but none of the buds have actually bloomed they are turning yellow and brown and not opening... It looks like they are just going to fall off. The person I adopted it from has given me the light they used for it and everything..

Someone on Ebay is selling seeds from a rare blue orchid which originated in ancient Greece. Strange, but it looks just like a white phaleanopsis that has been dyed blue. I sent a message to tell him that he is being unethical, that this is just a dyed phalaenopsis and anyone who knows how to germinate the seeds would know this.

This summer was extremely hard on my orchids and I lost quite a few valuable plants. When I moved my plants to the greenhouse this fall, I was not expecting any flowers at all. But then, nature never fails to surprise us. I noticed a few months ago that the new growth on my Cattleya eldorado was also developing a sheath. This plant (a C.

Hello, everyone. I am thinking of spending a bit more time here, and I would like to show you my orchids, but I am unsure of how to post photos here.
Does this blog format support html links (img src...)?
Is there a rich text editor for the blogs? How do I turn it on?
Thanks a bunch!

My Colm Wild Willie 'Pacific Bingo' put out maybe 8 flower spikes in the last 2 years. They would get about 8 inches long, then rot 4 inches from the end. I moved the plant in front of the fan, but it still happened. Do you know what my problem is? I now have a flower on a 1-inch stem.

The sun here in the last two weeks has been blazing with high of 33C. My poor orchids are craving for more water and shade!

Hi. I have a Cycd (chlorochilon x Jumbo Puff) and first time growing an orchid. I purchased it last Nov at an orchid show in Singapore. It was planted on moss ever since and looks like it's dying. I searched online on how to take care of it and I found this site. I finally removed it from moss and now placed it in CHC with charcoal. Really hoping it revives my plant.
