Wow that sounds like a great way to buy orchids. I wish the nurseries down here in Miami would call me when they get new plants!

Yes, I do have very bad allergies and I sympathize with you very much. I'm highly allergic to dust mites which need 50% or higher humidity to live. Back in Southern California it's much much drier...

I have found that putting a sick plant in lower light is good for it and encourages it to concentrate on producing roots rather then leaves. Think of a plant's leaves as the solar collectors for the...

That's funny because I'm in Florida but I wish I were in California where I grew up :_(. Being able to grow orchids is pretty much the only consolation for living here.

First I designed the 5 part bench set using a 3D modeling program and did a 3D to-scale mock up of my front porch with the finished bench set in place.

I grow my orchids outdoors all year round but bring them in on nights that it gets too cold. I think they would benefit from being outside during the day but should be brought in at night.

I have repotted plants which were in full bloom and did not lose any flowers. If you did a good job and didn't disturb the roots too much you may not loose the flowers either.
