I valiantly attempt love to , grow flowering house plants in San Antonio,
Texas. I have a notorious "Black Thumb", so I have every confidence that you can grow these, too.
I just love the long-term look in my home and seeing the plant, buds and blooms change by the week (I'm too busy to see it every day!)
This Phalaenopsis orchid has been a joy to Steve and me for weeks!
I also have a black thumb and really don't like to get flowers and watch them die. I was given one of these 3 months ago and had someone else look after it. It is just now dying. They are amazing plants, and if you look after them they last....
Hi Jane-
So great to hear from you (and about your Black Thumb). I always knew that you and I had tons in common. Try and try again.....

Beautiful picture of your orchids. I hear the new breeds are easier to grow than they used to be, but I have never tried them.
Sara, Those are gorgeous flowers! We don't have much luck with green stuff either!
Hi Than-
You should give them a try. They do like some bright, indirect light and finding the right spot takes practice!
Tony and Darcy-
How great to see you two! I have 3 out of 3 orchids alive right now, 2 in bloom. It's simply amazing to me! Maybe they are the right plant for the black thumb crowd?
