Thank you, Alice. I think in this case, I'll let nature take its course. It has been a month now since the phal ejected all of its blooms and the stems are holding up well. They're so nicely...

The shoot I cut was too short for having a node... so I guess I kind of blew it. About the plant going 2 weeks without water, it was a mistake. I'd left the plant with a relative who has a lot of...

I had this little feather celosia seedling that I rescued (someone had purchased it and left it on a park bench at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden). I'd gotten it a year ago, and after a rocky start...

Question Is it wise to rotate the pot such that leaves don't "lean" too much?

I've been having some orchids in my plant collection for a good 8 years now, but I've never been quite certain about this one particular aspect: ORIENTATION to the light.

More specifically, where...

Thanks! This is good to know.

I have a mini-Phal that is now 3 years old, and is growing a new shoot for its 5th bloom (it usually blooms twice a year and skipped once). I've kept this on an...

Question Please help identify phalaenopsis variant

Thanks for the tips, Bud. I don't have many orchids so I don't want to buy a big bag of potting mix for just one plant. The bark I do have on hand is a rough cut, but it has plenty of small pieces in...

It still has the tag it came with it, in the photo. You can see it sticking out of the pot, with "Oncidium" on it. Unless I got the wrong plant? The other two I bought at the time was a cattelya...
