Our last home had a sunroom with an entire east-facing wall of windows -- my orchids were very happy campers in that room. I've been trying to figure out a good location in our current home, because I am missing my orchids.

I water, fertilize, and make sure they get plenty of light...but no blooms...not for two years! So, in my book...they are not easy.

Hopefully. <br />They're gorgeous and I love how long the last - the flowers because the plant seems eternal. I read that in wild and primitive times Orchids grew over the tree barks so that's all they need - what she gets naturally, I guess. In fact the vase is better filled with bark and alike than dirt that can get soggy with the "let's give her a pint" ;)<br />Yours look lovely!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.com
