I sure have been active in the tea house lately...
But! I have recently come into the ownership of quite a beautiful orchid! I've been reading up on it the past few days and have learned quite a bit. I've already ordered a better plastic pot for it to go in. As the one that's holding all the roots currently has no drainage holes what so ever!
My first question is for any of you orchid owners, my orchid seems to have been over watered, and it's leafs have some brown fleshy spots, and a few are pretty wilted and floppy.
I have yet to water it any further as it still feels moist, but it's currently just beginning its bloom, and even is throwing off a second shoot!
I plan to at least poke some holes into the pathetic plastic "pot" it being trapped in to hope for a little more air flow...
I would love to enjoy it's blooms first, but is it wise for me to let it expend all that energy when it's roots/leaves seem to be suffering?
