Hey everyone much the same as starting the bonsai hobby with just 1, I have found another amazing plant I am just besotted with. The incredible orchid.
I purchased my first orchid around 2 months ago. Within a mere few days they stayed to die but why? I got onto YouTube and did some research.
Apparently I put these in my dark house which has a negative effect on these flowers as well as possibly giving too much water.
Apparently orchids like air on their roots
, I took them out their original plastic containers and re-planted them in coconut husk bags with stone and bark.
I was told to water these once a week only. That is correct in their original plastic containers however in this configuration need daily watering. I now take them outside daily in mottled sun and bring inside at night. This seems to be a success but time shall tell. These have to date done well and appear to be flowering. Nice.
I currently have 5 orchids, much like bonsai the colors and possibilities are endless, That been said I will more than likely collect many of these over time, such a lovely hobby too, therapeutic even.
Nature the incredible
Love, light and blessings.
Have a great weekend.
