Saving a lost dendrobium
I know you guys out there that have been growing orchids for years won't be
too excited but yours truly saved a dendrobium from a store that was going to trash it. I got it for free, and when I got it home replanted it and now I see new growth starting to happen. (Doing the orchid dance). Once it gets to a point where I can take a photo I will post it and ask the people in the know what kind it is as of course there was no identification. As you can see I'm already hooked. Regards.....Chuck. |

Regards.....Chuck. Run, Chuck, run! I feel obligated to warn you, these damn plants are EXTREMELY addicting! Once you start, it's nearly impossible to stop. About seven years ago, my son's gf (now wife) showed up at my apt. for dinner one night with a paph in her hand, asking if I wanted it. She works in a nursery and they were giving some surplus plants to their employees. For some reason, looking down at her and the paph, I felt like someone was placing a newborn child in my arms. Up to then, I was known in horticultural circles as a serial killer. Only the hardiest of plants lasted long in my care. But I took the orchid in anyway, with instructions from Khalana on how to care for it. Amazingly, it's still alive and in my house. Along with five more. I've had as many as thirteen, but killed a couple and got rid of some non-bloomers when I moved last year. So you can't say you haven't been warned. They get a rather powerful hold on you, and never let go! I think sane people stay away from them. Best of luck with your new pet. |
