| prisana, that's interesting because I would have thought that the condition of this orchid was in prime shape because I did buy it from a nursery rather than a chain store. I didn't even consider that it was in such bad shape because it was a nursery and also because the buds were days away from blooming then. Wouldn't you think a nursery would be giving the plants the right conditions all along? I have always checked and typically repot all orchids when I get them home, even the ones in spike. They've always continued to bloom, uninterrupted. This practice will now include any from nurseries in the future. Live and learn....
Cynthia, this plants has been rootless for the past 3 1/2 weeks already. It's just recently that this new growth ocurred but I'm going to put a plastic bag over it anyway. |
