That's all I know I'd change that to Phalaenopsis or moth orchids. They seem to tolerate household conditions and light levels better than most and are the easiest to encourage to rebloom. Thre are many good books on growing orchids and orchid care, also lots of info online if you just a do a search. pam - gardengal |

Growing orchids
Phalaenopsis or moth orchids
east is perfect for them. they dont actually need constant moisture and do fine on a wet pebble tray right in the east window. they actually burn in south windows. they also do fine under lights.
