Hello #thewateringhole friends! I was looking for a little humidity dome for my baby Alocasia Jacklyn today, and realized I could turn an old vase over and stick her under there until she grows a bit more. And as you can see, the bottom half of her semi hydro setup is currently a yogurt container- didn’t want to buy a whole setup when she will soon outgrow it. It made me think of other things I’ve repurposed for plants, such as the beautiful ceramic berry strainer for a little orchid I have, and a couple of thrifted bowls and plates I use as saucers, or to hold plants steady on a wire frame shelf. What things have you repurposed, on purpose or because needs- must? I’d love to see? #mamalinne #GregGang #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantCorner #alocasiajacklyn #OrchidLovers #GregFriendsAreTheBestFriends

@MamaLinne very nice, loving them all. I’d love orchids but after 3 failed attempts. I have bought another one.
Just breaks my heart when I loose one. lol that might sound a little weird 😊
@Preciousplants1 it’s not weird at all! It’s taken me years to figure these out- and my understanding is rudimentary at best. I’m finding that after that initial set of blooms dies off, mine do better if I repot in orchid bark and give them a sunny, humid spot. They recover for a while and then bloom again! This is my current big bloomer who took two years of root growing to finally push out this set.
@MamaLinne is that a Phai orchid? It’s in its elegance… so bold and captivating 🤩
@MamaLinne maybe im@not repotting correctly, my roots just keel over and 💀. After the 3rd one died I said It hurt so much. I haven’t tried again:
But yours should be on display: 😻
