Thinking through my cunning plan
I've been super pleased with the results of just sticking a bunch of my new orchid purchases into a sort of hydro S/H situation by sticking them into my pond's waterfall gravel. Due to the fact that a leak is currently causing my pump to turn off dang near every night, the stupid thing ended up being more of a flood and ebb system. The orchids seem to LOVE it.
So do bugs and slugs and whatever else. We just got our first cool even which made me suddenly think about how I'm going to need to eventually move them inside aaaand my Phrag is spiking. I was trying to figure out the best way to bring them in, and in the case of the phrag, make sure it's bug free enough to hang out on display for a week or two.
I was thinking about letting them fully dry out and see what just runs off that way, and then submerging the pots and media fully in soapy (weak non detergent soap) water for fifteen to twenty minutes. Any suggestions?
