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.

If I needed my water to be a little softer for plants such as masd or phrag, couldn't I add a small amount of vinegar to the water? I have been wondering about this for some time because vinegar can be used to make soil more acidic for Rhododendrons or blueberries.

I have a large orange Masdevallia called Andean Prince, which appears to have Veitchiana in it's background. It is very healthy and vigorous, so I am wondering why it has been only slowly getting the odd flower on a spindly stalk. I have read that they are low light plants, and I give it the same light as my phals. I'm wondering if I'm fertilizing too much? How often should I fertilize?

As my collection grew, I realized that I will need more than my windowsills to house and grow my Cattleyas. I desperately needed an affordable greenhouse suited for my particular needs and the specific climate of my region.

Quite a few of us are wary of purchasing orchids on Ebay, as one is never really sure what will turn up in the mail. I think for those who have the time and resources to purchase their plants at different venues and through established commercial sellers, Ebay is not really the place.

Exotic orchids are a prime example of Mother Nature at her best! An exciting gardening event will be taking place the weekend of the 28th & 29th here in Austin, TX. The Heart O’ Texas Orchid Society, founded in 1961, is proud to present the 41st Annual Orchid Show and Sale at the Zilker Botanical Gardens/Austin Area Garden Center.

I am trying to revive 2 orchids using the sphag N bag technique. I have damp moss on one end of a gallon size zip lock and the orchid leaves on the other. They are both in individual zip locks. It's been about a week to week in a half since I started the treatment, however today I checked up on my precious orchids and 2 leaves have turned yellow and fallen off the crown..

I am trying to save my phal from root rot and have seen many people having sucess with the spag n bag method. When I put the leaves in the zip lock bag do I leave the bag a little open for air flow or should I zip it entirely.
