Up
until
we went on holiday they were doing beautifully! If I can find or remember
the name of the nursery I bought them from I'll contact them. There's
also
an orchid grower near here so I'll pop in there one of these days.

Sacha many thanks. so what i'll do is the first and third week of the
month soak the pots. should i use a feed like phostogen, if so how much
should i use?
also what about the white roots coming out of the bottom of the pots?
repotting or tucking them in or cutting off? thanks for any further
help.


I'm no expert John, so I'd advise you to look at this page to see if it
covers your needs. There are quite a few others about if you Google,
including one from the RHS:
