Let's Start a Good Idea, Tips Thread.
There have been SO many good ideas here! But I hope you ALL have used this
one. Go to the art store, and buy a palette knife. It is just a little thing with a VERY flexible blade. When you repot- first soak your plant in a pan/bucket(whatever is appropriate for your plant) of water for a couple hours. I have found that "overnight" is not too much, but it IS a bit scary. Then when ready to dump the plant out- use the palette knife to gently remove the roots from the pot. Works like magic- you can just slide the thing under to "stuck-on" roots, and they come right off. No home should be without one. When you tire of your orchids, you can slop artist's paints- acrylic/oil onto a palette, and then apply it to the canvas, just like Van Gogh. Elinor |
