Granny's gone and done it again

@microchick & Granny. If I start a thread on orchids, where should it go? Hobbies? Or Gardening? Or ...?

Why not make it a broader topic, like houseplants?

That's a good suggestion but I specifically want help with my orchids.

My mother loves orchids - she buys them - she repots and loves them - they live and flower for a little while - then they die.

Found it. Maybe I'll get my courage up to try to grow one again. I swear I can grow rocks if I set my mind to it. Used to buy discount plants at KMart. You know the type. Basically a stem with two or three leaves on it. Sometimes they were mystery plants. I would nurse them back to health and then grow them till they were too big for my house then sell them at a rummage sale.

But orchids. Tried once. May as well have sprayed it with Weed B Gone. So maybe I'll learn something and try again.

Just don't repot it or fertilize it while it's blooming, and don't give it ice cubes!
