First Time Orchid Owner and it STINKS!
I was given a beautiful orchid (small purple flowers) in April when my grandmother passed away. I don't have much of a green thumb but I managed to keep the orchid alive. We went away on vacation for two weeks and it lost all of it's flowers. I figured that I might as well see if I could get it flowering again.
Low and behold, the orchid started to bloom a few weeks later and it has looked better than when I received it.
Fast forward to this week. I am nauseated by the stench when I walk into our dining room. I searched high and low trying to find where the dog might have urinated. I cleaned the carpets and had the windows open. Guess what? The dog didn't urinate in the dining room. My orchid is in the same spot and when I leaned in close I knew that is where the awful smell was coming from.
What do I do?
Do some orchids smell that bad?
I would hate to throw it away but I can't take the smell much longer.
Thanks!
