Non-Bonsai - 7+ Month Old Orchids

Just wanted to share, I know its not Bonsai but nice on the eyes nonethelesss. These are atleast 7+ months old. The top picture on the lower set of yellow orchids are pretty sweet. The lower had only 2 blooms when we got it last summer, now it has 9 BLOOMS!! The top branch has only 4 but has had 7 at its peak.

These are my second set of Orchids I have ever bought. They are so pretty and easy to care for, I think I should make a seperate Orchid blog and grow more. Even though I read orchic propogation is difficult I think it would be balls to the walls fun.

For nutrients on my Orchids I use a Foxfarm Product called "Open Sesame" which contains 5% Nitrogen, 45% Phosphate, 19% Potash which I think is what is responsible for the extra blooms. Then, I also use a foliar water/beet derivitive spray (ratio 45ml to 1gallon) on the big floppy leaves and the orchid soil. Remember not to spray directly on the bloom tissue itself. From what I understand, the beet derivitive provides hyper sugar production necessary for photosynthesis. It is great for my Fuschias too.....let me post that next since I am at it. :)

Everyone have a great day! GIVE, SHARE, PROSPER!!!
