Hi, I am a newbie here. I love my orchids. I had over 200 in Florida and I foolishly tried to move them to North Carolina with me. I died a little with each one that didn't make it. Every last one died. I was ready to never try another when I purchased one phaleonopsis and did great with it, I am told because it was a 'greenhouse' orchid. I am back to over 50, but have limited sucess with anything other than a phaleonopsis. Does anyone have any suggestions for others to try. I do have two ladies slippers, they bloom every year, and one oncidium that boomed again after two years. I put two window greenhouses in, hoping this will increase my luck.
