Hello!

I heard that sprinkle ground black pepper on the top of the bark will do the
trick!
Never tried it !
Also, putting some tabasco sauce on electric wire will discourage them to
chew on them!

| Needless to say the kitten is as ungrateful as cats get, and decided to

| root system is gone, some of the leaves have chewing marks on them.
| I repotted the orchid immediately and I'm wondering what else I can do to
| help the orchid survive such hostile friendship?
|
| What can I do to discourage the cat from going after the plants?
