While they may seem delicate, orchids are one of the hardiest plants on the planet. Those pictured here were from displays that quit flowering and were thrown in the trash. A few weeks later someone dug them out and gave them to us. They then sat in a wash tub, ignored, soaked in water and rotting for several months. I finally got around to sorting them out, hanging them where they got plenty of air, then proceeded to burn them in full sunlight for about a half year. Then I put a sun screen over them and try to remember to water them regularly.
Over a year 'dead' then...
If I can't grow one way, I'll try it another. Rooting out at the end of a stem.
Maybe if we hold hands we can do it together! (Symbionts roots joined, giving each other a supporting environment)
Thankyou for the second chance!
