My orchids collection is vast. they used to have lots of flowers. When the rains came, there were very few flowers, and those that came out lived only shortly. Now, I see some white spots on the leaves, and even the blooms dry and the flowering is aborted. It has been sunny, and I expected the blooms!
My orchids are out in the sun. The white spots look like scales. No, they have not been over-watered because I have not changed the routine.

We inherited 4 large orchid plants but aren't sure of their care. What type of sun do orchid plant require and also, how do you get rid of aphid(s) on orchid plants. I was told to NOT use the commercial products or soapy water.Whatelse is left? One more question, does anyone have a good resource reading material wise on the general care and feeding of these plants? Our nursery recommended a few different books though couldn't give a good opinion on any of them. Thanks!
PS-We live south of San Francisco with the average temp. this time of year being in the 70's.
