My Pet.

12 Oct 2011

My favorite flowers in the whole wide world, has always been the Sunflower and the Orchid.

Went to Stellenbosch fresh goods market, last month and picked up this beauty for only R60.00 bucks. Yes that figure is correct just R60 bucks and if the plant has buds on it then, wait for it !!! R80.00 bucks.

Although people say that Orchids, make a difficult house plant, it is actually very easy to take care of.

QUICK CARE FOR YOUR ORCHIDS

1. Phalaenopsis hybrids enjoy the light behind curtains and window blinds.
2. When watering your orchids, take care to avoid wetting the leaves. If water gets trapped in between the leaves, dry them quickly by using a piece of tissue or a cotton ball.
3. After watering, do not allow residual or standing water to come in contact with the base of the orchid pot.
4. When the last flower drops, cut your flower spike halfway down the stem. A possible rebloom will occur if you continue caring for your orchid.
