Hitomi Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 This time I got 3 spikes and it just started to bloom, just in time for the Holidays. She will be in full bloom during Christmas. I have been babying this orchid for months, spraying with fertilizers and watering every other day. Just watching the growth every day. And look what my efforts have reeped me :) LOL! I moved it to my front door where everyone will be able to enjoy it's beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Oh that is so pretty! I have some small orchids that are on the shelf above my kitchen sink, but I think they will not bloom this year. Usually, by this time, they have a stalk with a flower head coming up. Maybe i didn't feed them correctly this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuilterMomma Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Awesome! Mine are not doing as well. Usually blooms twice a year and this last time it lost its main stem and one leaf. I still have three leaves but is very stagnant. The the one that my husband bought me is not doing anything either. Not sure why. I may need to consult you on what fertilizer is best and the regiment you did for yours so I do not loose them. The first one is 8 years old and the other one I have only had for one year.
