I have a large brown spot on a leaf of one of my phalaenopsis. Should I cut of off or leave it alone. Plus I noticed a few bumps on some of the bottom leaves which looks like water bubbles. Does anyone know what they are. I'll try to post a picture of the problem.

Gardening in an apartment usually means growing houseplants and perhaps a pot of tomatoes or herb plants on a balcony. Herb plants have many uses, right from garnishing recipes, to curing certain infections and illnesses to adding an aesthetic look to the garden. Many people want to have their own garden, but without a worthy piece of land to start a garden is almost impossible.

Cold and Wet
With cold weather here to stay for the next three months or so, it is time to make sure we protect our prize plants from cold air. One sure way to infect your orchid with fungus is to it to them get wet and then allow them to get cold.

The Plant Detective
Broken, faded or simply lost labels are a nuisance to the collector. Here are some tips that I use to ID flowers of lost label plants. First, the best way to ID a flower is to match it while it is in bloom with another plant that flowering in the same conditions.

The Ebay Search
We have begun to sell once again on ebay now that the weather is conducive. And I found ebay to be crowded and muddy this year, So this morning, I sat down to refine my search options to eliminate the items that I don’t want to see.

Spring Repotting
First decide whether you simply want to shift
your plant or divide it into several pieces. To shift
your orchid, remove the plant from the pot and
clean the old mix off the roots.

Study Time
With kids heading back to school after winter break, we all need to take a lesson, too. People always assume that the orchid knowledge in my head just came genetically, but a lot came from studying. So I’ll start you on the first thing that I can remember studying, Paphiopedilum species. I used to take books home and go over and over the pictures until I knew them by heart. Paphs are interesting because the species usually are identifiable in their hybrids. Such knowledge of the species can lead to being able to grow superior plants because you can identify the origin and by that, the habitat. You can also impress your friends with your

While we do not normally recommend repotting this time of year for most species, as they are dormant, we do continue to pot our collection of cattleyas almost year round.

Artificial Lighting
If you do not have a window that provides sufficient natural sunlight, consider supplementing with grow lights or completely going to artificial lighting. One advantage of growing under lights is that you are able to grow in any room in your house.
