Orchid

Shes coming back!

Update on stuff in bloom - #phalaenopsisorchid edition. There's a lot going on in my life right now, and though as always those phals take their time, here and there, there are at least one or two opened buds, and they are a nice pick me up to come home to. The most recent - the CTL Christophe 1 - opened just today and is a real looker. I can't wait to find out during the next days if he might be fragrant. The smaller and more floriferous minimark and the sogo bianca are further along, but still not in full bloom. Enjoy. #orchidlovers #happyplants

#plantaddict #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth #planttherapy #orchidlovers #orchid #monstera #monsteramob #hangingplants Finally fixed my beautiful Flora into a new pot as well as Rihanna 😍 "Rescued" this monstera deliciosa from a marketplace ad. They had it on their porch in minus 12. She was bending as soon as I got her in the car. Well now my hubby got me an orchid for our anniversary (Rihanna) and got clips to save my Monstera! Pic 1 is when I picked flora up Pic 2 is now that I've got her properly propped up And pic 3 is the orchid!

Too humid?

What type of fertilizer?

The Unorthodox Orchid - a tale of trauma, recovery and learning that one size never fits all. My gal Sonora (named for the neighboring desert, because I can't bring myself to call her Chihuahua 😭) was gifted to me three birthdays ago just after my dad died. I've always had terrible luck with orchids and figured this one would wither and die too, but with some research figured out my biggest mistakes (sunburns, fertilizer burns, root root) and toward the end of last summer she grew a huge new leaf in record speed along with a beautiful flower stalk. Then came the mouse. At first I thought my toddler had somehow gotten into the window sill and managed to surgically pluck a single flower. The problem there being I never found the flower, and two days later the other had suffered the same fate. I was baffled until the huge hole showed up in her new leaf, nibbled in a perfect half circle. I moved her to a less accessible place, and that's when we really put her mettle to the test. My husband tried to swat a fly on her, splitting another leaf down from the center. Then I somehow managed to stab her with my fingernail, leaving yet another big hole and me wondering if there are recorded cases of plant abuse in the law books. If not, I might be a contender. After all this, she lives, but I could not keep her hydrated to save my life. It took me a lot of experimentation and advice from the awesome #greggers before I threw up my hands and said "if you're that thirsty, drink up, buttercup." So now she's an aquatic orchid. I can only guess that my specific arid region lets me get away with it, and yes, I do take her out of the water at night lest she just. Rot. Her leaves are filled out again, the split stopped spreading, and her roots are FINALLY green after spending the better part of a year ashy gray. TL;DR orchids are actually resilient asf and sometimes, if all the usual methods aren't working, try something crazy and see what happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #phalaenopsisorchid #orchidlovers #orchidcare #backfromthedead #plantrecovery

She is alive and doing well. The only problem I have is I'm not able to get her to Bloom. I've had her for 2 years and she's not bloomed once. The stalk of her flower was broken off when I bought her.. How do I get her to Bloom?.

Meet Coco - one of two plants I got at Lowe’s yesterday on the clearance rack. It sat on the counter all day while I put Christmas decor away. My plant eater cat sniffed it over and walked away! So happy I can put a non-succulent on a lower table. It is also my first orchid. Wish me luck!

To make you smile today, Is my darling #Orchid La Reina. She has bloomed three or four times out of this same spike (and she’s humongous), and look at what I spied this morning! Merry Everything! 🌱☀️❤️🎁🎁🎁
