Orchid rescuer
Hi everybody, my name is Brian.
I became an orchid rescuer. You see, my friend buys white noid Phals at Trader joes and Whole Foods to decorate her house but then throws them out when they quit blooming. She told me this the summer of 2019 and I'm like "Wait, hold the bus, I'll take them".
Often they are in bad shape so the first thing I do is remove all the sphagnum moss, trim rotted roots and repot with a bark mix in the same pot.
The count for my Phals is 18 but I gave some away.
I have a Cattleya I bought in February 2021 that is a baby but adds 2 new growths a year.
I just bought a Dendrobium and a Odontobrassia (they already had bloomed) that get the same light as my Cattleya.
Too many YouTube Vids got me fussing over my plants so I am joining here to ask questions and get a little balance in my knowledge.
