Hey all!
My name is Kat!
Im an Orchid enthusiast, experience with phalaenopsis and some lady slipper. I am also a CP enthusiast. I had quite the collection of plants, unfortunately over winter there was an issue resulting in a huge loss. Life goes on but now I'm back on the hunt to rebuild my collection. Never thought to join these forums but after joining ocps ive learned so much and gained new friends and likeminds.
So here I am !

Hi Kat, and welcome to the board. I have no idea what CP stands for. I'm glad you're able to get back into orchids. Best of luck to you in rebuilding your collection!

Hi Cheri
Thanks for the welcome!
CP = carnivorous plants

Ah, thank you! I knew it had to be plant-related, so I googled it and got many non-plant-related answers, but not that one.

Hello and welcome!

I do not collect CP's but I do really love my little Ping. It takes good care of fungus gnat issues. Now I think I need something for ants....

Sorry to hear about the loss of your plants. I collect a variety of flowering/fruiting plants and I really would hate trying to replace them all after growing them to the point where they are flowering or/and fruiting so nicely. Good lucking rebuilding your collection!
