I had to come home to find a site to help me with my first purchase of three orchids. All I know is their name, and that they are starting to bloom. Oh, yes, and that I need to water thoroughly when dry, but not too often. The tag also suggests fertilization. I need advice! These were bought in a store in a pot with bark and then placed in a clay pot. They look fabulous, but do I replant them, mist them?? What sites should I go to for general info??
Many thanks, Denise
