You mentioned direct sun, and intense light being a problem. That's one of the reasons I wanted to show that light. I had it within a half inch of a 23 watt CFL bulb, and then I moved the light up for the other plants. It seemed to be just slightly happier right next to the bulb. Now, I have heard that CFLs give off a more "plant digestable" form of light, and it sure seems to be true. As you can see in the picture, it only burned right where it made contact. Do you think I should move it back near the light? (not touching it, just very close)Hi FLO, that leaf/root thing could be a keiki, a baby plant. especially if it is growing out of the bloom stalk. It looks quite big and with strong roots, so I guess it can be cut off to be planted on it's own (experts please verify). This orchid looks like the Phalaenopsis type. Over here in Singapore, we either grow them in a pot of sphagnum moss or mount it on a slab of fern bark. Just don't keep it overly moist or the roots will rot. They like bright light but direct sun or too intense light will often burn the leaves.
Hope this helps.
Yep. Those are peppers. I have 3 kinds of peppers, and 4 kinds of tomato in there. I took the new pics of the orchid, and I'll put one of the peppers up too, and one of the tomatoes.Wish I could help with the orchids but I don't have any experience in that field. From the pic..it looks happy and healthy. Is that peppers I see on the right side? I've thought about trying a bush or 2 inside during the winter but haven't made the effort yet..
Hi FLO, looks like the mother plant has no leaves left, so it is probably quite unlikely to be of much use. From what I know, Phal do tend to produce babies when they are stressed or in distress... maybe it is for survival of the species.Now that you can see the pot it is in, is it big enough?
Should I discard the old plant once I re-plant the keiki?
You are welcomeThat helps a lot. Thank you. I'll put up some pictures of it when I am done.
