My Eplc. Charlie Brown Hawaii had 3 new leads, I was happy and over joy, they were very healthy and growing, and coming winter I had to move my plants in, and also I am moving them from one home to another, but that is another story. So I had to bring most of my plants in, and before having the set up in the basement in the new place they had to spent some time in my kitchen.
Well everything was going well, the cats did not mess with any of my plants so I was very proud of them, however about 3 week ago one of the cats could not bear the temptation any more and attacked the 3 new lead on my charlie Brown, (I was angry but I thought, there was still hope for more). I treated the small stomps trying to prevent infection (I had a Den nobile that was kill by an infection introduced by a cats bite). BUT, it was no use, two days later the remaining stubs stared to get mushy, I cut them treated again.
It seems like I had successfully stop the infection, and them last week all the pbulps started to turn brown, my plant is gone!
And this morning looking at the rotting mess, I want to kill the cat!
Sorry for such a long post, I just need to rant, specially because I wont kill the cat.
Now to look and see if I can find the same plants some where, which will probably cost me more than when I first got it 4 or 5 years ago. At that time I only pay for a blooming plant $15.00.
Is bad enough that I am more than capable of killing my orchid all by my self, don't need help from any of the family pets.
Dem cat! I tell you, between bugs,snails, squirrels and cats I don't know how I have not gone nuclear on all of them.
any ways thank you if you read this, and sorry again for the rant. Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend!
