Hello, I am new to trying to seriously grow (ok, really just-not-kill) orchids. I have read so much of this forum already and there is such good information here. Love the forum format!
For the last 8 or so years I have spent the warm months growing tropical (and a couple hardy) water lilies, the exact opposite of orchids and house plants! I also have several planted aquariums. I have been successful enough through hard work and because I have never had to figure out how to water them!
That is one of the things that led me here, to learn about semi-hydro. I hope this technique will work for me (but I am also trying some in bark and also made a nice cork mount). Orchids are an experimental new hobby for me, but I certainly hope they work out.
Hardy waterlily "Sunfire". Vigorous and stunning for a hardy.
A bunch of cut tropical water lilies by my pond.
The single massive Lotus (Maggie Bell Slocum) I have in a tub.
My pond. Not the best photo but shows a bit of everything.
In case the posted images are too low res, here is an imgur link.
Hello! From waterlilies to orchids!
