Lovely plant, but what is it?
Comments (9)Thank you all so much! Yes, I did order Twyning's Dahlia; I guess I just didn't think, ( obviously), that was it. You folks are the greatest! Right now, I have them in pots on my deck - we have a lot of deer in the area. Can I winter them in the garage and put them out again in the late spring? Thanks!...See Morelove this plant...what is it called?

Comments (6)Get it out of the dirt! Orchids don't grow in dirt. I'm shocked it looks so healthy! You can buy a bag of orchid bark and a container that drains easily, then separate it from the part of the plant that's in the dirt, and just stand it back up and bury those fat healthy roots in the bark. Run the whole thing under the tap every 5-7 days, or dunk it in a big bowl of water for 5 minutes every 5-7 days so the bark can absorb some water, and give it nice bright light (not too much direct sunlight, though). It will take off....See MoreKalanchoe Rebloom
Comments (1)Not sure I would keep it in a chilly location- it is Spring now any way so I would keep it at room temperature. I used to grow this plant outside when I lived in Florida, but I can't remember how often it would bloom. The plant should respond to the better soil and drier conditions and begin to bounce back. Get the plant back to a healthy condition, then worry about blooms. Proper Light, warmth and watering is my suggestion....See Moregoodground
