| So I caved and bought some orchids online(already have 3). I got 4 new ones, all blooming size, but not currently blooming. They are:
Miltonidium Pacific Ripple 'Coqui Poke' Aliceara Tahoma Glacier 'Green' Brassidium Tara Venn 'Mauna Loa Iki' And a variegated vanilla planifolia 'Albo-marginata'(this one is actually a baby plant) They were shipped to me and obviously appear pretty stressed by that, leaves are in ok shape(some tears/bends), pretty top heavy with leaves folding all over. Appear to be in a good bark mix right now. They are going in my sunroom with the other orchids. Temps are about 80 during the day out there and get to about 60 at night. I have a humidifier in the room. Should I water these new plants, or just put them in their place and let them transition? Any tips for these? Thank you! |

| Maybe the Aliceara Tahoma Glacier might appreciate it slightly cooler at night? And the Vanilla might appreciate slightly warmer temps (go down the page a bit to find a recent vanilla thread). |

| Jings! Where to begin? 1. Keep them warm (they don't like temps below 60F and Vanilla doesn't like it below 70F, it also likes very high hunidity so you may have trouble with that - I can't grow it where we live in Brazil!) |
