My #JewelOrchid is beginning to bloom, and patience is not my forte so I can’t wait until all of the little tiny buds open up to post about it 🤭 There are two fully open and six about to bloom, with more close behind! 😍🌿🤍 Look how tiny and delicate they are! And I have to say, I find this much easier to care for than a traditional orchid—though I think I’m getting the hang of that! I’m going to start collecting jewel orchids, because I’ve been seeing some with truly beautiful leaves out there! @CourtlyKingfern has one that’s to die for. And I think @Prentyce might too if I remember correctly? Anyway. I love this. It’s lovely. So pretty. So dainty. I need more. The end. ♥️🌿🤗 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy floweringPlants">#floweringPlants #OrchidLovers #PLANTMAFIA #babevila

@Araceae oooh thank you so much for the ideas! And I’ve been thinking of trying out a terrarium! I’ll have to do some research re: bioactive ones! Sounds so cool. I definitely want to do a terrarium for my fittonias because I saw another Shannon on here who keeps hers in them, and they look so cool in there. But I would love to try out different kinds! Thanks for the suggestions 🤗♥️
@BabeVila thank you for your kind words… but oh my gosh!!! SHANNON!!! this calls for the happy dance for sure… 🕺💚💃 it is beautiful without the whole thing being open!!! Does it have a smell?? Mine is still just sitting there. Like a big lump, No new growth or anything.. like it’s still adjusting to its surroundings… 🧐 but thankfully it’s still alive.. 🤗 cannot wait till mine blooms. You know it’s happy when you see new growth and flowers!! 🙌🏻💚💚 Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈
@CourtlyKingfern I don’t smell anything but that doesn’t mean anything since my first run-in with Covid really did a number on my sense of smell lol. I will ask my mom tonight! She has a nose like a bloodhound 🤣 Also did you see the little baby in another post? It’s so precious 🥹 And yours is still gorgeous, new growth or not! I have mine under a grow light and I use the We the Wild Grow formula so I’m chalking this up to that! I don’t do anything super special ♥️🌿
@CourtlyKingfern SPECTACULAR EVELYN! So so shiny and beautiful and amazing!! Eeek!! :) I’m so happy!! :)
So gorgeous!! Also, if you're looking to get a terrarium, just know they have been as addicting to me as initially getting into houseplants! You should totally do it!
