Confession time . . .
I've been growing orchids since September of 2012. Have had blooming success over the last 6 months - ie, several genera other than Brassavola and Phalaenopsis, which seem easy to bloom inside or out (for me) , are BLOOMING! So, this is the first year I've bit the bullet and summered my orchids outside.
I say "bit the bullet", because here is my confession: In October of 2012, I bought some "summered out" Phalaenopsis from a grower in my area, and when I got them home, 3 or 4 earwigs crawled out of the pot. I freaked. Now, believe it or not I GARDEN - very successfully, but earwigs are the one thing that truly creep me out. Not a clue why, but they do.
Here's my question . . . when I bring my 20ish orchids in, in late September, early October, how do I diminish the possibility of earwigs crawling out of the pots?
OK. There it is. My confession - my irrational fear of earwigs. Can you help??
