I don't water it all that often and it's in a plastic pot that it came in 3 years ago because I keep forgetting to repot it when it's not blooming. But I'm sure I'd probably get better results if I fertilized them and put them all in good bright/indirect light! http://www.gardeners.com/-/7241,default,pg.html?SC=RNA7001H&utm_campaign=control&utm_source=direct&utm_content=jan10news&utm_medium=email&email=APILCH@TOWERHILLBG.ORG&nlid=12081.1165491.0.1.0.1962726&eid=APILCH@TOWERHILLBG.ORGMichelle...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02046669577652755701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341094996566029322.post-9485754491411900592010-01-07T14:41:11.884-05:002010-01-07T14:41:11.884-05:00orchid growing a new stem? michelle - impressive! ...orchid growing a new stem? michelle - impressive! do you have any orchid tips? i'm sure kimberly is impressed too!<br /><br />Anon - thanks for the pebble tip, i guess it's really just good in a pinch when you don't have a pot with a hole. good to know.carla rothberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733762617406859097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341094996566029322.post-64223155755776516422010-01-07T13:56:52.494-05:002010-01-07T13:56:52.494-05:00They will be so pretty!
