Hello everyone,
I bought my first orchid a Phalaenopsis philippinensis, I like very much it.
But I know very little on these plants and on the net there are many theory on them.
I bought "some"...books on orchids and someone in particular on Phalaenopsis.
I'have some difficult with the language, my english is not perfect....sorry for my mistake.
I'll open a post on my orchid.
Thank's everyone for your advice.
Vincenzo or Vincent
Don't worry about your English, there are a lot of non-native English speakers on this forum and it's ok if it's not perfect. The most important is that you can be understood.

Welcome to the board Vincenzo.
I look forward to learning a bit about orchid growing in Italy - is it a popular hobby there?
Incidentally, your English is fine, and very interesting to me because I’m learning Italiano and I make the same mistakes as you but in reverse.
Cheers
Arron
Thanks for your greatings!
Today I have done the first lesson of a orchid's course.
First lesson was on basic, root, flower, light, temperature, umidity, ventilation, water, some rules when buy an orchid, repot and something else.
Simply and interesting, next lesson on Phalaenopsis and everyone repot one.
@ArronOb: orchids in Italy it's not very popular but they are growing, perhap people think that is difficult tu treat them.
You do have the chance of having a great orchid nursery in Italy. At least that was the case when I used to order plants there 7-8 years ago, when I still lived in France (cheap shipping fees). No idea how the quality is now. Have you heard of them? They sell mostly species orchids and primary hybrids, and not very many complex hybrids. Azienda Agricola Nardotto e Capello
I really should shop there again even though shipping is nearly 25€ for me!
