Most of my orchids seemed to really enjoy the rain we got this last weekend. Probably because the rain water is higher quality compared to our tap water...and most of my orchids are mounted so they have great drainage.

Carlos,I can only imagine how great your orchids must feel after that rain,I wish I could take mine out and let them have some shower, and for sure rain water is so much better then tap water.What keikis are you looking for?and where do you find those overgrown specials?We are already in March and another 10 days and there is SB Orchid Show and I am looking forward to it!!Our display is almost ready and all we need is a lot of Orchids from Members of our Society.I wil put my Dendrobium 'Wonder Nishii' for judging this year again.I have 32 spikes with a lot of flowers.

if I am not mistaking, you can take tap water and soak it in peat moss and it will almost duplicate the water value of rain, rain water is soft and acididic...peat moss will do the same thing
