Hello and Greetings,

 

Like you, I have a lot of time to focus on my orchids.  If you have a question about orchids, feel free to ask by sending questions via e-mail to 

 

 

 

 

April - Potting Party - Tentative, based on current events, stay tuned

 

May - Annual Orchid Auction -  wait and see mode, stay tuned

 

 

Meanwhile....

 

The rest of the month I will be working on small groups of my orchids.  The nice thing is that over 30 are dormant and just waking from a short winter's rest and started new growth but it is way too soon to start watering them.

 

I will be doing some in-depth research via the internet on them, cleaning any scruff from the old growth and making some notes on appropriate care for the up-coming growth cycle.

 

Look a your own collection of orchids, perhaps do the same, clean, fluff, and give them some extra attention in this era of unexpected free time.

 

The Potting Party date is most likely cancelled (too early to tell) and many of you might be concerned about re-potting your orchids.   If you have questions, just ask.  Your answers will give me something to do.
