Upon returning from summer vacation (yes ... I am already finished, I anticipated this year!) The situation of the orchids home is not bad, the only loss is to record the beautiful Dendrobium Berry Oda that indeed my mistake not to water phalenopsis like ... and then I found all dried up.
The Phal I found them pretty well and just put "soaking" of purified water for half an hour.

In Serretta all pretty good ... let's say the limit of aridity, another 3-4 days and I found at least 4 or 5 plants seriously damaged, if not death.

And while I was at Ikea yesterday ... I got 3 beautiful Orchidaceae ... because it only flowers of plants belonging to the family of Orchidaceae Orchids are called, but we all know, however, that it commonly uses the term "orchid" to describe the plant :

1. Double Paphiopedilum light green (I think MAUDIAE), seedling height also comes in just because Serretta! This species is also called the "shoes of Venus" for the shape of large flowers, although not very colorful (unlike other varieties of Paphio), and especially only one plant. But mainly I like the leaves from uneven color ...
   The Paphiopedilum must be watered more often than "classic" phalenopsis, NOT because they have aerial roots ... but just because they fear the stagnant, however, must remain "slightly" wet.
   For this plant will try to follow this rule: Summer watering every two days, in the remaining periods, once a week.
   Both together because they share the same pot, are in the tropical greenhouse .

2. Cambria Cambria yellow and red: this plant does not exist in nature, comes out of the hybridization between some species, such as Oncidium, Odontoglossum, and Miltonia Brassia. In my case I have yet scorprire what my other plants are 2 examples the hybrid ...
   After flowering, you can cut the stalk bearing the flowers.
   The optimum temperature during the growing season, from March to September, is about 18-20 ° C with humidity above 70%. During the cold months it is advisable to place the plants in a cooler, with temperatures between 10 and 15 ° C and humidity less (40-50%).
   Watering: Diving in the summer once a week, in winter every 3-4 weeks.
