Lowe's had orchids on clearance sale for 3.25. I bought a cattelya royal red. I brought it home and potted it immediately. I hope it is happy here.

That sounds like a good deal, Tammy. :good2: Sure hope it does well for you...
-
I love buying orchids that way. Make sure to feed it well with orchid food, and it will thrive for you. :)

It's first watering was with the orchid food. I've got my fingers crossed that some of the roots are still alive.
-
Good deal, I hope you enjoy it.

I've got my fingers crossed that it blooms. I think I need more light than it is getting in the livingroom. I know the otherone that bloomed the year before didn't bloom this year and I'm thinking it is a light issue.

My orchids are in a west-southwest window, and two are blooming now. I know common care instructions say no direct sun, but they get about 2 hours as the sun is setting...and they are thriving.
Do you have a window like that?
-
Yes I do in the master bedroom. I think I will move them there. They will probably be happier.
