| Going on vacation for two weeks: suggestions?
I am going away for two weeks and wonder what is the best thing for me to do with my orchids. I am considering boarding some with a nearby grower but I have too many to do all of them. For the ones that stay home I will probably ask someone to stop by while I'm gone. With the current weather most will only need a watering once while I'm gone but if it gets hot it could be more often. I thought about taking everything out of the windows to be sure that they don't get too hot or dry out too much (say onto my kitchen counter) - but not sure if the low light for 2 weeks would throw them for a loop. I've also got a few in spike, so I'm not sure if it's better to board these and risk them being shocked by the change of scenery, or leave them here and risk them being over/underwatered by whomever does me that favor. Thoughts? |
