Florida newbie saying hello!

[RallyMeg]

Hey Everyone,

So I've been following these forums for a little over half a year now, and finally decided to sign up... Just thought I would say hello!

I was first introduced to orchids by my mom a few years ago, but didn't get my own until six months ago when I rescued a drowning Phal from a co-worker who thought the potting mixture had to be saturated at all times! I quickly learned what root rot was, but thanks to the threads I found on this site I have been nursing the now little thing back to health with the sphag-n-bag process. Insert me getting hooked on this site -->here<--

I currently don't have the best growing conditions in my apartment, but it seems to be enough to sustain a beautiful Vanda I purchased at the beginning of May that hangs in a wooden basket at a window... kept its blooms for four weeks before dropping, and now has substantial root growth. I don't know a whole lot about the Vanda, though, so expect me to be cruising previous Vanda posts and asking questions.

Anywho, I am looking forward to getting involved more on this site, and hope to learn a lot from everyone!

Until next time!
