    Hi
    I love Orchids and am trying to build my collection to include Prosthechea. I only have four so far. Lots of other sorts but just murdered my dendrobiums. Weep!!

    Losses are a part of the learning curve. Welcome to the forum.

    I've definitely killed more plants that I now have in my collection.

    Hi John. I am in Birmingham it is marvellous to be able to speak to those abroad in other countries and compare their Orchid experience with ours. Amazing how similar our reactions to the Mealie Bug scourge are so much the same. I wonder why (tongue in cheek).. I am tackling it at the moment with Neem oil and hydrogen peroxide. Not succeeded yet.
