Default I have finally gotten the hang of this!
Hi everyone!! Looks like with the superb advice on the OB and the help of SuperThrive I am FINALLY able to grow orchids and not kill them. Even the ones I tried to kill are recovering nicely!
I have roots and leaves popping out everywhere! I wanted to say big THANK YOU to everyone who has talked me down off the ledge, gave me advice on growing, lighting, EVERYTHING. I truly believe if it weren't you all, my collection would be non-existent!

Well, here they are!!!

:iagree:

awesome job amanda!
I am interested in how you have the 'sick' plants - just some rocks with a bit of water in a cup? I have a catt that has been declining quickly and think I may like to try your method!

way good growing!

Thanks, WhiteRabbit!! Yeah, the sickies get a tall plastic container with some stones and water. I mist them daily with SuperThrive and have noticed tremendous progress with them. I didn't take the same approach with the catts and it seems it took them forever to start growing roots and new pbulbs. I will never run out of SuperThrive, I have had a great deal of growth since using it.

Thanks, nenella! I'm so happy I can barely contain myself! I can't wait for some flowers though! That's the next step!

Will you please explain what the lights are over your plants? I could use one like that.

I know the feeling, when all of a sudden things click and the roots go wild! Nice job and show us pictures when they finally reward you with blossoms!

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
