who needs to water when you have a Rain Storm

[kindrag23]

Okay, So for those who live in Florida and along the coast that get rain all the time maybe not so much a big deal. But for those of us like of say ME this is so awesome!!! Two days of rain thus far and almost 2 inches worth if not more!!! Such a great feeling and the humidity is doing wonderful things for my orchids they are happy happy happy with the fresh rain water and cooler weather they are all perking UP UP UP!!!!

Ahhh! Cool and humid also mean "watch out for fungus, root rot, and a host of other bad guys". Just keep a close eye on your babies. Many orchids like to dry out really well before getting more to drink.

Most of mine are now becoming mounted; and due to extreme heat being watered every day because their media dried so quick. Or just bc they were mounted and needed water. This just saves me watering duty for about 4 days.

Its supposed to start warming back up tomorrow.

Mounts do love rain. As close to natural as they can get.

It is raining here but the plants have come inside.
I do live the natural rain. I barely had to water this summer, just the way I like it.

Well, we had the first night low @ 65 last night so all mine are greenhouse/house bound because it is supposed to get lows towards 56* so after drying a bit they will be back in place. But fall is officially in the air!! Hurray no more treiple digit weather..fingers crossed...
