I found it was a little more picky than the Phalaenopsis, but then I live in colorado and its super dry here. Bathrooms work well, kitchens by the dishwasher also seem to do ok.

I like to buy plants on discount bring them home and try to save them. One of my joys in life is to see a bud appear on a plant that I brought home and saved from the garbage.

I realize some must be tricker than others, and I'm not crazy about the Phalaenopsis orchids that are everywhere. Do you have any tips for taking care of orchids without a greenhouse, and what kinds? Which ones are scented? I always hear that orchids are so easy to take care of. I realize some must be tricker than others, and I’m not crazy about the Phalaenopsis orchids that are everywhere.

I ADORE orchids, especially the Phalaenopsis (which are supposed to be the easiest to grow). Trouble is, at $50 a pop, I'm getting gun-shy at buying any more -- they all die. I can grow just about anything outdoors but when it comes to indoor plants - poof my green thumb disappears, though I do try.
