help with caring for an orchid?
Posted by admin
I have had my orchid since August, the original flowers have now dropped off, and lower down the plant it has new shoots and buds as well as new leaves.
Do I cut off the original flower stems which are higher up the plant, if so where would I cut them down to?
The plant is still in the pot I was given it in, do I need to transfer it to a bigger pot, or is it ok to leave it as it is?
Thanks!
Cut the old flower stems down to just above the second knuckle up and just continue to water as you have done, do not let the bottom of the pot stand in any water as the roots will rot, a little feed I use Miracle Grow helps in the size of the next flowers and keep the plant in a warm room but not in direct sunlight. No need to re-pot. I have some that will be 3 years old and are still in the original pot.
Tips for caring for an orchid?
Posted by admin
I gave a friend of mine an orchid about a month ago, and though she’s usually a wonderful gardener, she’s concerned about caring for it. The blooms on the plant fell off immediately, but the plant itself still seems fine. She’s placed it in a bowl and has been watering from the base once a week. Is there anything else she should/shouldn’t do to keep this thing alive and have it bloom? I’ve never been able to keep orchids alive myself, so I can’t help her and could use some advice to pass on.
Watering Tip: It’s true, Water can harm your Orchids…
Trapped water, in between the leaves and/or new growth, can promote bacteria or fungi when temperatures become colder during the night… Be careful when watering, as such an event can kill the plant.
What to do…
Commit to drying up any water that fell in between the leaves or onto new growth… you can use a straw to breathe air directly onto the water and dry out the area
How do I plant a small terrarium?
Posted by admin
I have a tall, covered octagon 29-gallon aquarium with a flourescent light. I don’t want to put fish in it, since I have a nice fish tank already, I don’t need another one. I’d love a small terrarium. I like for it to have an orchid or two, with tall driftwood and moss and maybe some ivy trailing from a ledge near the top. My favorite orchids are white, purple, and pink moth orchids. One of each color would be great if I can do that. I’d like to start them from bulbs if at all possible because I love to watch things grow from the very beginning.
Does anyone know if moss is compatible with orchids, and where I can find some? I don’t know if it’s sold anywhere here since I live in a dry climate.
Please let me know if this is a bad setup idea. The main things I want are driftwood for tall structure, hanging plants like ivy (background), a centerpiece flowering plant, moss, and another kind of small foreground plant.
Any links on orchid care for beginners would be great! And thanks!
I have a 20 gallon terrerium with 3 anoles. I put about 3 inches of potting soil on the bottom and covered that with moss. I then added three potted plants. I have a ficus and two pothos plants. I have a branch for the lizards and I have a small battery powered fountain. You should use a background to make it look more natural.
Phalaenopsis Orchid. Caring tips? ?
Posted by admin
Yes, I think Phalaenopsis is the one i have, i honestly dont know.
I was wondering if there are any ways to prevent pests and slugs from getting to my little beautiful.
I really love it and dont want it to die, I want to grow my Cuteness [the name. YES. i named my plant. screw off, it means more to me than life itself. yes. there are reasons. no im not sharing] the best I can, I want it to bloom, and I’ve already checked how to take care of it and everything, but i do have a few questions:
1] If i place it right in front of the window that’s always open, i know it will change the temperature, but i think thats the best way my baby can get any breeze around here i live on the 1st floor of a 3rd story apt building, so sunlight is a bit of a problem, i might need to move it to the roof eventually. It is winter, and even if it’s california [LA], it is still chilly at night, and i dont want Cuteness to undergo the weather changes of that kind, so maybe i should close the window at night? Any Ideas on this?
and [2] The pest thing.. I read that snails and slugs and aphids and thrips will try to feed on my Cuteness and I’m not fond of chemicals [which is why im currently placing dishes outside to collect rainwater (said to be the best for cuteness) yes im crazy.] I dont want to spray anything on Cuteness, I want it to live in peace, so im wondering what i can do to prevent these bastards from eating my baby.
[3] One last questions 
this might be kind of stupid..
can i breed my orchid with anything to make a hybrid? on my own though… like.. to make it colorful or something? because its plain white now, and I mean I could buy another [species? of] orchid, but it would be more interesting if i did this on my own..
Please and Thank you
[btw i love this plant because someone i really care about gave this to me, and i have no other point in life, so this is like...something to keep me from giving up on live completely. the person that gave me Cuteness gifted me with hope.]
1) Phalaenopsis is a shade orchid that prefers indirect light, so right in front of a sunny window is not the best place for it. Phalaenopsis is warm growing & needs a minimum temperature of 64 degrees F at night & 70 during the day in the winter.
2) For slugs & snails try placing slices of apple around the base of the plant, and the next morning check the bottom of the apples as snails will be drawn to the apples & you can just get rid of them.
3) The only way I’ve seen to hybrid orchids is by using 2 different plants to cross pollinate and use the resulting seeds to grow hybids.
Hope this helps at all.
does anyone know anything about orchids?
Posted by admin
Iv’e been thinking of getting an orchid for my home. But I have heard they are very hard to take care of. Does anyone know if this is true?
They’re not bad, there’s some that are easier than other to keep, like Phalaenopsis (which is common, but I personally am not thrilled with). I have some plants and my boyfriend has about 70. We like the "species" (meaning, not hybrids) orchids and go to 2 large orchid growers about an hour away from us……..he likes North windows for them (then east). Check out this great site, which I subscribe to:

I have this pink plant of orchids and i think its dying what can you tell me about the care of orchids, some advice would be good.
Either lack of light or lack of water and fetilizer, fetilize every 2-4 week, set the orchid in a pail of water for about an hour, the make sure ther is proper drainage, as for light, no need for direct sun light, but bright light,

I purchased orchids and calla lillies?
Posted by admin
Yesterday I purchased beautiful orchids and calla lillies. should these be replanted in a pot or can they go outside? How should i care for them so that they won’t die? Someone told me I could plant the calla lily in the ground but I would have to take up the bulb at the end of the season. Is this true? Please help! These flowers are beautiful and i dont want to kill them.
It all depends on what zone you’re in. I’m in 3/4 so I keep my orchids in the house and have to dig up the calla lilly bulb. In the southern part of the US they can keep them outside all year I believe. Look at these two sites for more info.
