Im going to a plant expo this weekend, and im looking to get my first miniature orchids. I have Phalaenopsis orchids, and ive gotten their care down, and absolutely love them. So im wondering if anybody has any tips, or advice on what i should get as a first time miniature orchids owner like a beginner level, or anything you feel may be useful for me to know, and be prepared for? A picture of the new blooms on my Phalaenopsis for attention. Thank you 😊.

Ive been keeping hoya since 2019. In 2023 I moved states, and sold my whole collection. Ive been slowly rebuilding since 2025. In all these years, and as many hoya as ive had ive never had one bloom. Im so excited my very first hoya bloom on my retusa!! Just had to share my excitement. Also it smells like honeysuckle to me 😊.
