congrats!i think it is splitting?
When we got married, we spent a few weeks in Costa Rica for a vacation. I had always wanted to go to see the Macaws in the wild. There are over a thousand different types of Orchids that grow wild there. If something stays in one place long enough, chances are pretty good that an Orchid will start growing on it. We were only home about a week when I bought my first one. There is something magical about them.
Heard an amazing sermon years ago by Pastor Jentenzen Franklin from Free Chapel. One simple sentence "Make your dash count for something." Powerful when you let that really sink in.
Yes, I am. Had about 8 for several years. Then I bought a new one last year and it had a fungus that I didn’t realize and they all ended up getting it and dying. Too much going on in the summer so I’m going to start over again this fall after I bleach all my orchid pots.Good afternoon All!
I missed this morning completely. It’s in the 90’s here today so I was out mowing before the sun even came up. LED headlights on the tractor make it like daylight. Got a bunch done but then started feeling a little dehydrated so in I came.
Hey! Anybody else here into Orchids? They are another hobby that I used to be into, got out of, and now I’m back in!
Ive had these 3 for about 2 months now and they are opening nicely. They seem to be very happy near this side window. Filtered light most of the say.
Good morning
Finishing up laundry that I didn’t get to yesterday, then taking the two bird cages outside to power wash. They get a good power washing once a year, otherwise just wipe them down with a cloth.
Oh, and I guess I’m planting my amaryllis bulbs outside too!
Now I want a Pitcher plant. Looks like a road trip to the nursery is in order this weekend. 
Cut off flowers when they fade and keep watered until temperatures outside warm up enough to plant them outside. I put them in plastic pots and plant pot and all. Then in late July I stop watering them and dig them back up ,and either bring them back in or put them on the covered porch so they don’t get any rain on them. Once the leaves die and turn yellow, I cut leaves down to about 2 inches, take out of pot and let sit with bare roots to dry out for a few days. Then put them in brown paper lunch bags and put them in my basement fridge crisper drawer. You have to make sure the bulbs don’t freeze. If you are putting them in a fridge make sure there are NO ONIONS with them because onions will for some reason make them sterile and the amaryllis will not bloom again. Leave in cold storage for 8 to 10 weeks. Then plant them again late November. Do not fertilizer until after they flower. I don’t have anyplace in my house for cold storage where they won’t freeze other than a fridge.
