See, that's what I need to know, information. Beginner orchid
growers, like myself, try to automatically treat their new orchids like
ordinary house plants--heading right for that potting mix or
overwatering. In your case Joanna you were desperately seeking help
before your orchid crashed. Newbies need to research their new orchids
right away, I panicked alright, about the time my orchid lost it's
blooms and showed signs of dying, too late to save it, so don't be
afraid to ask questions, don't panic and have patience. If you cut
kiekies off or whatever then ask if you should of done that it's too
late. I'm enjoying my 'two leafer' it's trying so hard. Don't want to
repeat my first experience, thanks guys. Now I'll try reposting, some
more good advice.
