Welcome to the Official San Francisco Orchid Society Web Site. We are pleased to announce that our Orchid Doctor is now taking orchid care questions. Please feel free to contact the Orchid Doctor directly or post your question on our Bulletin Board System. Unless asked not to, we will be posting the Orchid Doctor's responses on the Bulletin Board System to share with others who many have similar problems.

The more information you can share with us about your problem and your conditions the more likely you are to get an accurate diagnosis and concise advice. Just saying you have "an orchid" does not provide enough information to determine its light, temperature and moisture needs, as well as needs for blooming. Please try, through either the pictures on our culture sheets or a web search to identify the genus of your orchid. Or send a digital image of the flower or plant. Without any idea of what kind of orchid you need help with, we cannot offer much useful advice.

NOTE: For those of you who have tried using this BBS for commercial advertisement, please be advised that it is moderated. Your messages will be removed as soon as they come in, so no one will see them, and you will be banned from posting again.
