Wondering about getting into Orchids?

Postby RedHotPoker » Sat Nov 15, 2014 3:41 pm

I just noticed the heading for this section of the forum, which had no entries up to now.
Are there perhaps other active members here, with an interest in having A orchid growing group here?

Muttart Conservatory (the glass pyramids in the river valley) in my home city, have an awesome orchid show put on by The Orchid Society.
I know very little about nurturing these beautiful flowering plants, although I do have a keen likeing of them, and would be proud to have the ability to have one or perhaps several of my own. ;-p
As they can be quite expensive depending on varietal, to purchase plants, it would be great to have some members sharing their methods of healthy growing, breeding and such. To keep them vigorous and full of vitality.

Not sure how well they would respond, while under or near the powerful CLW SolarStorm 880.

I hope others will chime in, even with a nay... ;-)

I think they're neat but I don't have plans on doing orchids, personally. You could be the resident orchid expert!

Sorry...

I still use HID and I'm NOT an LED expert. All of my LED knowledge is from other parties or research so I can't say from first hand experience one way or another. I also run a medical grow consulting business in SoCal.
