There is no rule on how to grow Orchids! Even people living 10 miles apart have their own preferred methods.
I just looked it up, there are more than 100000 hybrids and cultivars! "That is a lotta Orchids!!"
And that is my point! Knowing what others have done/prefer in the different topics (watering/fertilizing, pest/disease management, potting/re potting, propagation/division, etc.) of growing orchids.
What I was trying to say, maybe not so articulately was as a "newbie" of orchid growing, my interest is mainly on maintenance...Keeping these guys alive, and thriving. Learning what others do/have done, in each of these categories, and being able to locate that particular info a little easier.
I'll go back to my corner now....
