Moth orchids
Bought my first moth orchid and am slightly confused by its growth. it
only has one long stem where the flowers are and large bottom leaves. From the look of things i do not see how another bud would emerge on that 12" inch stem. There does not seem to have any nodes. Does another pop up from the base? If so, how long does it take? its in a 4" inch plastic pot. HAve no idea when to water or fertilize, because it has no nutrients as far as I can see and of course no soil to see if it dries out. i do have it on a large saucer with pebbles and water for humidity and bright light. BTW, i heard that the blooms are long lasting. Not on this one...maybe a few days and then they wither just like pansy's or petunias. |
