Do you have an orchid, or a few, among your collection of houseplants?
I have had this one for a little over a year. So excited about the new about-to-be-blooms!
I have had this one for 5-6 yrs, its 1st bloom this year:
A couple of weeks ago, got a few more. I'll get around to taking pics of them soon. They are not Phals but I can't remember offhand which kinds they are.
If you've wondered what is in those "moss balls" of the hanging orchids @ BBS's, I wondered the same thing. The first two I purchased have been left in the condition in which they were purchased, but I did get another one a couple of weeks ago and dis-assembled it. The layers found, from the outside first:
twine
green thread
lots of green-painted moss
packing tape that the moss was stuck to, clear tape one would use to seal a box before mailing
more moss
more packing tape
green wire sphere
nasty wet peat moss under some sphagnum moss, packed all around the roots.
If this new one does like my other 2 Phals, these will be the last of the blooms until next year, but I don't mind waiting.
