I'm not too good with the humidity thing, so I read all about them and found ones that would work in my apartment. <BR/><BR/>To answer coachj--orchids don't grow in soil. Mine are growing in chunks of fir bark. But they can grow in all kinds of things, including wine corks and packing peanuts. Fascinating plants. I'm growing obsessed. I can't wait to hear more about how your babies are doing, scribbit. WHEE! Are there pics of your other orchids up here? I'll take a look...Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903668054657873042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-75871807125604223502007-06-09T06:33:00.000-08:002007-06-09T06:33:00.000-08:00Pretty!

They're supposed to be en route to Alaska in their camper right now, but the road to the ferry in BC (Prince Rupert or something?) is apparently washed out. Hopefully they'll figure out how to make it up your way soon.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-20961105964980672892007-06-08T11:54:00.000-08:002007-06-08T11:54:00.000-08:00Ooo...pretty.

When it began to grow, they clipped it to turn it into a bonsai tree. It even produced tiny fruit! Then they moved from England to America and customs wouldn't allow them to bring the plant over. :-( <BR/><BR/>Would you mind emailing me? I have a technorati question for you.

I've had one for years, years, and now I think it's dead. I don't know what on earth I did. What kind of soil do you use for your full grown orchids? And after they bloom, what does the "stick" look like? I have another orchid that is just now growing and I really want it to make it, so any advice you have will be greatly appreciated! I do try and find out stuff on the internet, but I just don't understand some of the "language" they speak.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465532203974215571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-65757083301918082602007-06-08T06:31:00.000-08:002007-06-08T06:31:00.000-08:00Will enjoy watching your progress.Will enjoy watching your progress.janet copenhaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131858950994346777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-67709315137310689462007-06-08T06:04:00.000-08:002007-06-08T06:04:00.000-08:00Orchids are tricky, but this sounds like a good pl...Orchids are tricky, but this sounds like a good plan.
