Okay, as I'm sure some of you are aware, I bought 3 Catts in a bag from Lowe's. When I got them home and took them out of the bags there were no viable roots to speak of!
After consulting my good friends on the Orchid Board I gained the confidence to try and grow them instead of giving up right then! Well, I potted them up and misted daily and gave them light. Now we wait.
Well, I ordered some supplies, because I had no more bark, no more pots, I had nothing. So I ordered more pots than I need (at the moment
), some SuperThrive, some Fir bark (I had no idea just how much 1 cf really is!) and some charcoal. After waiting for what seemed like an excruciatingly long time, my supplies came in. I looked everything over and thought of the mass re-potting I had in my future
. I soaked my bark with some SuperThrive over night and re-potted everything. I gave everything a good look and trimmed what needed to be trimmed, whimpered over the state of some Phal roots
gave some Dens the once over with a pair of scissors to the dead roots and saw new growth on both of them
and marveled at the progress these Catts have made in the short time I have had them!
Holy Moly I think I can do this!!!!!
Anyway, that is the update with
Thanks to everyone who helped me that night and every night for that matter!!
So, without further ado here are the fruits of my labor and worry!
