phalenopsis moth orchid - 2007/09/06 02:12
Mr Fred,
I bought this orchid for $1.00 at the local Food Lion Store. After rescuing it I took it home.It was in a plastic pot, the leaves loped over the sides like a puppy,and looked dehydrated.It looked like a bud at the end of the spike so I started orchid pampering. I put it in an orchid pot,watered, then fed it bloom booster (mir-acid), and orchid food. Within 24 hrs. the leaves arched up. Last Friday I called the Nursery they told me not to cut it back and wait to see what it does, and after watering it hit it again with bloom booster. lol..This week it now has 2 buds. The lower one is about to open. I intend to take pictures of it. I know by the flower you can tell what type of moth orchid it is!. I have never owened a moth orchid until now. If you got a few pointers about caring for this orchid I sure could use some!.
Linda
