Re: Orchids
Dear SueyOrchids are happier when they are pot bound. You can leave the stem on because sometimes the flowers start growing at the end of the stem. Just water it every 10 days or so in winter and every week in summer. But if the soil is moist just spray mist on it. Always use tepid water and prefereably filtered or at least boiled. I use the water from my fish tank because I am feeding as well.

In India, they form 9% of our flora; nearly 1,300 species in 140 genera dwell in the country with Himalayas as their main habitat and others scattered in eastern and western ghats. In general, the terrestrial orchids are more common in North-Western India and the epiphytic ones in North-Eastern India; the orchids in Western Ghats are usually with small flowers.
As indeed all your other posts thus far have done.
I wonder why you folks do this?
