How do I plant my orchid in a coconut and how do I use the husks?
Hello all! I am brand new to orchids, I have had one orchid for 2 years, very small hasn't bloomed again since after I bought it in a piece of bark it came with in a clay pot. Then I have a much larger one I just bought (same thing, it is growing in a piece of wood in a clay pot) I saw an earlier post from someone in Thailand who said they use the empty coconuts as pots which was the greatest idea to me, because I just started making my own coconut milk, so I have a lot of empty coconuts that I just didn't have the heart to throw them all away for some reason... sorry I'm blabbing on... I was wondering how exactly I do it, could I put the small orchid in one? Do I just keep it in the piece of bark and should I put some coconut husk around it? Can roots that grow big be used to grow another orchid? Both are indoor plants, I have no trees outside or shade I could put them on. Sorry if these are obvious questions, I have 2 little ones so I couldn't go through all the posts! Thank you all so very much in advance for any help!
