Well you all keep telling me how easy orchids are to grow..lol..I had 8 of them that would never do anything but turn yellow and look blah after they quit blooming so they either died and the ones that didn't I traded them all away last year..tried to get tips on growing them from the forum that specializes in them here to no avail...lol...now in just a few simple posts..you gals are amazing.. I have read exactly what I did wrong with them..not enough light or fertilizer..and too much water..mine sat in it because thats what I thought they liked...didn't know they liked to to fed either..live and learn! Thats what I love about this place..of course you all know that now I am going to run to town and buy another one this week just so I can see if I actually can now..lol
