Thanks for the welcome.
Happy Mothers' Day to all.
Hopefully the blooms will stay but if they don't that's okay too. I plan to put them in proper pots and medium as soon as the blooms are done and the spike has died back. One has yellow blooms with veins or deep purple, one is pure white with a hint of yellow in the centre and the last is all deep vibrant purple and lighter purple at the edges of petals. I'll have to dig up my digital camera, lol. When I do I'll post up a couple pics of my chids.
I went out today and bought Schultz Orchid Food and Schultz Orchid Medium. The medium has fir bark, agricultural charcoal and lava rocks. The only other choice in this small town was pure fir bark. I have a rain barrel so will be using rain water.
Also this morning we used the last of the pineapple in the deli container and I thought with a few holes and some slits on the sides and it would be a perfect clear orchid pot.....and it did.
Love re-purposing things, especially packaging, so wasteful.
Well, off to scan the forums for more great info and gorgeous pics.
