WANTED: New to the orchid world!!

9 years ago

Hey, I'm new to the orchid world and wanted to buy some beginner plants off people that knew what beginner orchids were. I know they all are more needy than most plants. Please let me know what you guys have and price on it. I don't mind small sprouts and working for the beauty of later. I' near St. Marys ga so anything from Brunswick to Jacksonville I could meet up with you. Thanks in advance!!

Just for clarification. This forum does trading or swapping. People generally dont sale orchids here. I think it is against gardenweb.com rules. If you are really interested in buying plants you could purchase them from a vendor. Then the plants would be delivered right to your door. If you search orchid vendors in the forum you will see lots of posts discuss where people purchase orchids.

I didn't realize that was against the rules haha. My bad. Don't have anything to trade at the moment so I guess this is a fizzle :3 thanks though.

Its in a plastic orchid pot and is just placed in the bigger pot for looks and to stabilize it since its so tall. I thought the same thing about the price! They had all different kinds for really cheap. All huge and nothing over $10. I should have got 2 but Im not really good at orchids yet and wasn't sure about how well it would do. Thanks for the advice. I really like this plant and want it to do well. How often do these rebloom? Ive never been able to get my phals to rebloom before :(

Arthurm, I agree with the orchid judge/orchid nursery owner. I LOVE 'EM ALL!!! Each orchid genera have their own 'MOST BEAUTIFUL' and most 'EXQUISITE' specimens. Anyway, had a recent visit to the local orchid nursery here in my country and got a glimpse of just how these orchid nurseries grow them... Mature vandas in bloom. Young vandas waiting to grow. Vandas in bloom for transport to the seller's 'orchid station.' For those who live in temperate climates and love a good challenge, growing vandas can be a very rewarding experience especially when you get them to bloom like the beauties shown below... A hybrid vanda with beautiful, violet flowers. The gorgeous, big flowers look so luscious that everytime I see them, I always feel like devouring and eating them. :) A red beauty. This hybrid vanda flowers around Christmas time here so I 'nickname' it 'Christmas' vanda. A blue-violet beauty. This vanda has delicate blue-violet color and tessellation inherited from 'Vanda coerulea', one of its parents. An orange-red vanda. One of the rarer color combinations I've found in vandas. The flowers remind me of my ever reliable, Kagawara Christie Low () though the flowers on the 'Kagawara' are much smaller. Ok, ok... I get it... No more 'vanda' photos! :) LOL! Hope you enjoyed... Cheers! :) tropical

Hi Letha Congrats to ya! I just became a contributing member also. It's nice to be able to trade for other things. I have to also say, it's fantastic being able to get help on the computer help forum. You have to be a contributing member to get onto that forum also. I've needed their help twice now. LOL kathy_ann

No worries. If you need help finding orchid vendors near you try the orchid forum. people on there can also make suggestions if you dont want to order online.

Sometimes people may offer divisions of plants for postage.

Let me correct one thing, I don't think orchids are more difficult than most plants...actually they may be easier, they're just different than most plants, as they don't typically grow in rich moist soil (most grown by collectors are epiphytic), but not all.

You need to figure out which of the hundreds (or more likely thousands) of genuses, you're interested in, and given the conditions you can give them, will help narrow down what you could possibly grow.
