While I was visiting my local Lowes, I stopped by the garden center (this shouldn't be a surprise). I noticed that the distressed plant section was full of orchids, so I took a closer look. The plants weren't distressed at all, they had just lost their blooms, they looked happy, the leaves were bright and firm and the flower stalk was even still green. So I picked up a couple new types of orchids.
I got a dendrobium orchid and a blue orchid. It was upon my return home that I found out that not all orchids are created equal. An extensive internet search proved to be a little depressing. I now have four different kinds of orchids all with their own little nit picky preferences. They all like different amounts of light and different amounts of water, some like the bark medium some like moss. I am still feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I should know and I'm not quite sure how I can keep this all straight.
