Hello my name is brandan i'm 28 and i live in Fort Pierce Fl. I am located on the east coast. I am fairly new to this gardening thing but have become addicted to growing palm trees, orchids, and all kinds of tropical plants and flowers. I hope to find out some tips and info from you more experienced gardeners.

Hello Brandan and welcome. Do you have any tips on how to care for orchids? I have not had a lot of luck with orchids in the past....

The best advice I was given was don't over water wait until the roots look thirsty, and find a window sill to place it in. You may need to try multiple spots before your orchid is happy.

Hello Brandan, I know nothing about orchids. But you should have good luck
with gingers of all kinds. I have about four varieties of gingers but this past winter they got bit by a freeze. Not sure yet which ones will survive. I have string of pearls, pink butterfly ginger, and white butterfly ginger. I am close to the east coast, near St. Augustine but about an hour inland. You might try those Gaillardia daisy.
