there was one that I sort of regretted giving away because it bloomed several times a year...but I hate repotting and it was in dire need of that. the blooms were getting smaller as well because of that. it had sent out lots of starters and couldn't sit flat any more because of being too heavy on one side. it also had sent out lots of air roots.
I think your grow light did the trick.
I'm enjoying the less need for frequent watering of the house plants!
enjoy, DF! they really do come in so many gorgeous color combos. I like the purple in your picture!
attached is a picture of the one I regret giving away...before I let it get overgrown:
All the so called experts say to keep your orchids behind a window facing east.lknvrb4|1405073191|3711259 said:Good work, I have two orchids that I have had for years and never have they re-bloomed.
I don't know, I guess whatever looks good when we get to the farm. I hope the other three plants will bloom soon so that we know what we have before going shopping for more plants.movie zombie|1405098271|3711439 said:thanks, DF......I may ask the recipient of my orchid to give me a start.......it really did bloom at least 4 times a year with 5 blooms each time. sigh.
so, what are you going to get next? I should mention that not all orchids want the same environment...perhaps the same type of orchid but in other colors now that you've got the conditions right for this one?
that purple is divine.....I'm thinking an amethyst in that color would also be divine!
