I always wonder if I could ever get my orchids to bloom like that. I feel doubly bad since I have the climate for them, I don't need to build a greenhouse or anything but I can't seem to keep them as healthy as I would like.
Jonna, you have the same problems we have here. You have to be selective which orchids you try to grow. A lot of orchids on the market need a cooler climate than what we can provide. The "best" orchid growing climate in this country (and arguably in the world) is northern New South Wales and south east Queensland because of their more moderate temperatures and higher relative humidity. They have a greater range of plants that will do well. But get into the tropics and the story changes. Of course it's not only orchids but a lot of other plants as well. Check out what's really suited to lowland tropics and try those.
