Did you keep it in same pot, how did you water? <br />I want to buy one soooo bad, but I feel so awful when I bring a new plant home and it dosent do well. I brought a beautiful calathea with orange spiked blooms home, I was sooo in love with it. But it got spider mites, its still alive but looks pitiful. I would be crushed if something happend to an orchid. Its my "dream plant" to own one day.Emily33https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233119692254101587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17953699.post-89850811614896836482013-03-06T07:42:25.748-07:002013-03-06T07:42:25.748-07:00Liked your article, thanks.

I have 2 supermarket orchids, both in front of a summy window, southish facing.<br /><br />One has put out a floweering shoot, 5 buds, and the other, small, her a vigorous baby orchid on a stem! Do I do anything with the baby shoot? Will any other growing medium do to pot it into?<br />potluckkatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17953699.post-75057791151961177082009-03-02T10:08:00.000-07:002009-03-02T10:08:00.000-07:00I have always had bad luck with supermarket orchid...I have always had bad luck with supermarket orchids. They always seem to end up dying or looking very sick. I will have to look around for some local orchid growers and get these flowers from them.

Walking into my local asian department store (named Don Quijote) I was pleasantly surprised to see a group of Miltonia hyrids for sale (typically they have chrysanthemums or carnations) a few months ago. I purchased a nice seedling with an eye catching black mask on dark flowers like Milt. Hajime Ono 'Black Falls'. Since it's not a clone I'll be naming it with my own varietal name, maybe when it blooms next season.maximumdosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651673240380964673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17953699.post-71957899843016660842008-12-05T22:43:00.000-07:002008-12-05T22:43:00.000-07:00We need to submit this guide to a magazine, and ge...We need to submit this guide to a magazine, and get you paid for it!<BR/>So comprehensive - thanks for the education :)twanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985399755625013629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17953699.post-33110448208395090672008-12-03T09:53:00.000-07:002008-12-03T09:53:00.000-07:00Your orchid of the week is stunning.

However, I bought a bunch of orange tulips for Thanksgiving dinner and they were gorgeous and perfect! You're right. The keys are to know what you're looking for and definitely go for quality. I may be encouraged now to attempt a moth orchid if I come across a good, healthy one.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153878171712341666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17953699.post-4998396996402995152008-11-30T13:11:00.000-07:002008-11-30T13:11:00.000-07:00You're not an orchid snob. :-)You're not an orchid snob. <BR/>:-)Chris Eldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794946908789120139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17953699.post-38391081688605489622008-11-28T10:05:00.000-07:002008-11-28T10:05:00.000-07:00That's nine months!

I had to re-pot my raisin pie, it wasn't doing well in the metal container that it came in... well, he re-potted it for me, after he saw that it wasn't doing well. He said it wasn't able to breathe and the moss wasn't working well... he changed it over to wood chips. I hope it will survive, it's perked up, already, but I may have damaged one of the root tubers thingies.Shimmerringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889345175260200888noreply@blogger.com
