New to the world of Epidendrums

[JoeW]

Julia, welcome to OrchidTalk!!

Well, when it comes to Epidendrums, truely, it all depends. Do you know what kind you have? There are over 1000 species. These may be epiphytic, terrestrial or lithophytic. So, it is difficult to make generalizations. (For me anyway). There are a lot of experts like Gin and Orchid-man, here on the Forum who can do better, especially if you can post a picture of the orchid. Joe

welcome Julia...yes it all depends on what you have but by your color descriptions I suspect you may have reed-stem Epidendrums. If you could post a pic of the plants we will try to assist.
