Default What bad treatment does for your plants.

This plant is still in the rotted moss it came in in 2006. It maybe gets watered every 2-3 weeks, and it doesn't live in humidity and light with my other orchids. It lives in the sun room where it is dry and cold in the winter and much too hot and dry in the summer. It lays on it's side all the time because I don't take the time to repot it so it will stand up.

ugh..... go figure

This is proof that we pamper our plants too much. Do you have the tag on this one?

great! sometimes chids do live in neglect... even when i ignore mine they still flower and make me care for them again, then flower even better to spite me! it seems they are saying "see, when you care for us we give you more blooms than when you ignore us"
