thanks for your advise ray, but i have 2 phals & 1 dendrobium which are
cool growing orchids,1cattleya which is cool to intermediate.these won`t be
to much of a problem,as ive found out if you can get the watering right you
are half way there,the rest is patients which i dont think many of us
have.thats how my question came about & being able to continue looking after
your plants,without it becoming a chore,leading to negect!which i wont
do.You could say i am obsessive,not just with orchids but horticulture in
general.A hobby,not just someone who buys houseplants to look nice for a
couple of weeks then bins them.
thanks anyway,keith
