i didn't think to look at the tag...luckely my husband did though. it's a cymbidium orchid. i've still got it in the pot that it came in (which is just one of those plastic pots with a drain pan on the bottom and it's only about half a foot.) because i don't have the right kind of potting soil for it. the soil that it's in though looks like it's mossy with bits of tree bark. it's sitting in my living room facing east (but i keep the blinds mostly closed because we're gone all day and don't want creepy people looking into our house) i live in florida so it's very humid here. it's also not just the flowers that are wilting, it's also the leaves near the tops (it's about three or four of them and they're brown almost a fourth or fifth of the way down.)
i got the plant on valentine's day last month and was following the directions the florest had told my husband. (he said to leave five ice cubes at the bast of the plant to slowly melt each sunday) but when that didn't seem to be helping, i tried to just water it last sunday by giving it about three fourths of cup of water. i don't wanna kill it...
