I water them once a week. In the winter, and in the summer. I don't give the liquid food, but i should do that (...) When i water them, the water drips out of the container and i give them a very large amount of water. The water must be allowed to flow away. The centre of the roots must not dry out. Good luck with the beauties.

I agree! I so look forward to the blooms. I have moved from the North to the deep south...and they are just not blooming like they used to. Perhaps I am watering too much? The new climate is so different I think and they need time adjusting perhaps? I am curious- how often do you water your orchids and how much water?

Yes, I am a certified orchidholic. My collection started less than a year ago when my now passed fiance brought me one. We then took a class on how to take care of them and the result is a collection of over 100 and growing! I am a member of the American Orchid Society, Denver Orchid Socitey and Denver Botanical Gardens. They are much easier to care for than houseplants and I find them far more interesting. With over 80,000 species there is always something more to learn, view, and enjoy.

It's a new world you enter, when getting interested in orchids. In live in the netherlands, and we can have some orchids over here. But the majority have to be kept in glass houses. I heard also that in scandavian countries they are very fund on orchids.
