    Thank you everyone. I couldn't be happier with my success so far!! If they all live, that's 70+ orchids of the same kind I won't know what to do with though.....although, I'm sure I could find a few homes for them on here....
    How long will it take for them to get used to it outside and turn a pretty green again?

    Honestly, they might stay a yellow-green or light green. A lot of orchids are in the light green spctrum, and even covered with black spots, when they are getting the proper amount of light. The deep emerald green and forest green we are used to usually means not enough light......at least it has been in my experience....

    And if you get 70 babies to pull through, you might have found holiday and birthday gifts for this next year. ;-)

    Most of my orchids are a lighter green color. One of them is covered in black spots (they look like freckles). And one is kinda dark....it's a phal in the same place with the rest of them....this one hates me.
    The babies are kind of a muted ugly muddy green though. But with how well they're doing, I'm not too worried.
    Maybe I could do that "S.T.O.P. Pay it Forward" thing I saw on here. Or trade. Or I don't know.
