I've ventured out with two new types of orchids!

[Miller]

I just got home with two new types of Orchids that I have never grown. I have twp types of Paphs and a Vanda pure delight. None are in flower so no need to post picks (unless you want me to) but wish me luck on not killing them!

Hi Miller, the paphs should follow the standard paph care found here: Paphiopedilum Orchid Care | River Valley Orchidworks

Good luck with these and the vanda! I look forward to seeing your photos of these new additions IN BLOOM!!

cheers,

Thanks for the links Bruce. Do you know what type of media I should use to repot them?

Sure, I also answered that in your other thread about potting paphs. Here is the link: Repotting Paph Orchids

Thanks Bruce, I did not see the other thread until after I replied. Now to figure out where to get a fine bark mix!

Hey Miller - small redwood bark, not fine bark like for seedlings.
