My spider plant fell 2 m (6 feet) off of a shelf onto the floor, and the soil scattered around. I scraped what dirt I could off the floor and stuck the plant back on top, partly suspended, meaning to repot it later. Well 5 months later I hadn't repotted it yet, and it started to bloom and sent out a new plantlet, all while half suspended above the scraped up soil. I felt especially guilty about its bad treatment when it was trying so hard to be a good sport. It is now repotted and looks exactly the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-790071004283862824.post-36664511186532485402009-02-15T12:06:00.001-08:002009-02-15T12:06:00.001-08:00thanks for the tip on the orchid forum - I will be...thanks for the tip on the orchid forum - I will be sure to look that up!breannephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000996491295354220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-790071004283862824.post-20714690690654362562009-02-15T12:06:00.000-08:002009-02-15T12:06:00.000-08:00I kind or like the name Phalaenopsis - they only r...I kind or like the name Phalaenopsis - they only reason I didn't include it in the post was because I didn't think I could spell it...ha ha...I have looked up its growing requirements... and the one thing I can't provide it with right now is high humidity... my region is never humid... either hot and dry or cold and dry...breannephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000996491295354220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-790071004283862824.post-57511256971583526222009-02-15T11:10:00.000-08:002009-02-15T11:10:00.000-08:00What a gorgeous Phalaenopsis!

(no, I'm not swearing at you ... thats just the impossibly ugh!-sounding name that this beautiful plant is burdened with). <BR/>Now that you know what its called, you can easily search all over the internet for its growing requirements, etc. <BR/>By the way, the Orchid forum at Gardenweb is a great place to find help.Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.com
