Your footnote was the latter, not the former. And you have ever right to mourn. You and your family seem to be trend-setters, as this is a lament I see much more widely-spread since, oh, about 2016 or so.

I treat it once a month with a special fertilizer from fantasy orchids in lewisville Colorado. I tend to water it once a week in the winter and twice a week in summer. <br /><br />The Ludisia Discolor can handle normal house humidity levels.

However, my situation with them isn't as extreme, still I live in the bible belt too, and have to put up with the family that believe only what is said in church. You're parents may not come around, but I hope you are able to some day have some sort of relationship with your brothers and sisters. <BRLancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953459540634785074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-92008230051647606682008-06-12T11:30:00.000-07:002008-06-12T11:30:00.000-07:00Great post.

I do love this plant, and have seen it at the local greenhouses now and then, but haven't brought one home - maybe never will; much too pricey!<BR/><BR/>And I won't say anything about your family, like they'll come around and stuff, because you are right - you know them better than anyone else. Still. Families can sometimes be, well, 'special'.Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-91742667480913108692008-06-12T10:42:00.000-07:002008-06-12T10:42:00.000-07:00Here have a hug on me!

Not into indoor orchids at the moment, but when that hammer falls, I'll know where to go (if I can still move.) My boss wants an article on indoor plant care if and when I ever finish the one on organic lawn care, so you'll be hearing from me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that amazing post.<BR/>--katethemanicgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750985315536912324noreply@blogger.com
