Dried sheaths on catasetinae

[DirtyCoconuts]

Roberta is so right. I actually would pretend to water them while I watered the others to get the itch out. (I now water them a bit in dormancy but I have a wide open growing medium so there is almost no chance of rot)

About the impulse to prune and pick, I have found an awesome fidget cube that has a bunch of different things I can busy my hands at and I find that walking around with that in hand while i look at my plants GREATLY assists in me not touching things.

This is generally for all my plants but the orchids. For some reason I don’t have the desire to control them /prune them. I basically make all my fruit and veggie plants into topiary lol

Channel the impulses into a bonsai or buy a sacrificial plant to bother and mend.

I recommend a milkweed. The monarch caterpillars eat it to stems every few weeks and it is lush again in five days.
