Comments (4)Thanks - I figured it was a slim chance to find out the actual name :) I would never water any plants with ice, never heard of such a ridiculous thing before. Like others I thought maybe there was some new weird type of orchid. In terms of those air roots, I'm not too crazy about them growing vertical, (due to a plastic bag around the plant), will they turn down at some point or can I trim them a bit? With the roots that have a dead portion on them, leave it be, trim the dead portion, or trim that entire root?...See MoreA Couple More Quick Questions on My First Orchid
Comments (12)I second to Kevin's about orchids like sun. I just visited a friend of mine and noticed one of Sharry Baby I gave to him couple years ago was blooming . The bulb is huuuge and plumped , much larger than mine. I don't have a lot of issue growing orchids, or have orchids bloom, just following what it needs mostly of time. But I have never grown orchids that good comparing to my friend. He said he put the orchids outside in the summer under his large Bradford pear tree. The orchids got morning sun and later afternoon sum directly but got filtered sun in most of day time. He said his other orchids collection seems grow better this way too . I kept my orchids on the dry side and don't water my orchids very often. But I do spray /mist my orchids, the potting medium, and outside of the pot( clay) twice a day with water. And spray/mist the leaves especially the back side of the leaves with low strength fertilizer every day. This works well for me so far. I have all my orchids bloomed as they are supposed to be, and have my orchids grow new braches as they are supposed to be... But I will move my orchids outside this summer to see if I can make them grow bigger and better....See MoreFirst orchid bloom in almost 2 years!
