NEW TO ORCHIDS AND EAGER TO LEARN MORE

[csolano]

Hello everyone

My name is Carlos and I am new to this forum and orchid growing in general. I currently live in south florida USA which I understand is a great place to grow orchids. Problem is I am new to orchid growing and currently I own a few plants that live on my balcony. Below are pictures of the orchids and their home. I am having trouble with some of them and i am having problems trying to find out their species. Orchids are very special plants to me bc they remind me of great figures in my life. I hope you all can help me grow these plants to be strong and healthy and make my family proud.

here are the orchids

KUWALE GEM "LING LING"


Samba Splendor


species unknown (purchased at home depot)


Vanda aka "Valorie" NOW BLOOMING!!!!


Species unknown aka "LIMA" purchased from Peruflora


Yellow Bird


Species unknown (got this one in Puerto rico NEEDS HELP!!!)


dendrobium aggregatum aka "tweety"

EPIDENDRUM IBAGUENSE (I think) this is by far the plant that has the most emotional attachment bc its been with me or 2 years. its bloomed twice and now it isn't looking too healthy PLEASE HELP!!!

i hope you all can help me with these beautiful plants.
