You have some beautiful Orchids Paul. What's your method?

I keep them near a sunny warm south facing window. I keep the window open about a half inch for good air circulation. They seem to do better when grouped together. I guess they are social plants. Thank you Waddy.

How strange...I've always been told NOT to put the in a sunny window as they are ostensively woodland plants and like dappled shade. Ah well, it just goes to show..

They don't like direct sun, but window should be shaded or with a shear curtain.

Ah! You didn't tell me that lol!
I have mine where they can get good light, but not direct sun. I feed them with Orchid feed for in bloom or growing depending on what stage they're at. My Phalaenopsis have now finished flowering but my Dendrobium is in full bloom.
Bytheway the name's Julia just in case you'd like to use that instead of my handle.

Thanks Julia. I love your name! Sorry about skipping that critical point. Would love to see your Dendrobium.
