Yeah, when things are going right, they make me immensely happy. But lately I've been neglecting everything and I've lost several fronds from my huge 7-8 foot tall majesty palm that I got this summer and now this. I'm not being a very good plant mom right now. :(
Nope, never read it, but it sounds really interesting! The author of the book I read on how to care for them (Understanding Orchids by William Cullina) has personally traveled to exotic lands in search of orchids to bring home. He talks about how before he knew it, one orchid turned into 15 in his personal collection. Then he started building a grow room in his basement and a greenhouse in his backyard and before long was up to like 1200! They're like chimpokomon!
