Hello from Yorkshire, England!

[Pippa]

Hello. I have a few Phals including a couple of minis and bought my first dendrobium about 3 months ago. I would like to try growing some other types soon.

I work as a plant nursery retail assistant, with particular responsibility for houseplants. I didn't know much about orchid care when I started, so ended up googling lots of questions, and nearly always found a helpful answer on Orchid Board! So I thought it was time I joined so that I could learn some more from all the knowledgeable people here. The only problem with my job is that I am ALWAYS seeing new orchids I want to buy...anyone got any good advice on how to resist buying them?!!!
