Hey Forrest!

Will my plants grow better if I water them?

 

I doubt it very much, F.

 

Mary Jane, are you ever gonna start a novel?

 

Forrest, I have found they grow better in the shade. The leaves are a nice green, they don't bloom, but they look darn good.

 

Dale, i wouldn't know what to write about. Any ideas?

Oh and F?
Never, ever, EVER give your orchids any fertilizer. *shudder*

 

The only good water for orchids is spit. That's right. Spit on them. Frequently.

 

I believe I heard that salt water was the best for orchids.

 

My mouth is dry as we speak. All that spitting today.

 

They tell me piss is a good source of nitrogen, this means you can both water and fertilize

 

And never, ever re-pot, fer crisskaes. The sourererer the mix or sphag, the happier the plant.

 

oh, I see, this is one of THOSE forums.

 

There's always other forums out there

 

so true, so true.

 

This had better be one of THOSE forums or I'm outta here.

 

I've read that it's good to use beer to water your orchids. They love the hops in it. Sort of like fertilzing at the same time. Or, "recycled" beer is supposed to be even better. Its natural and prefiltered.

DITTO MJ.

 

And insect control? Fuggetaboutit.

Allow those white fuzzy things to completely cover your plant, they are the best defense against any harmful creatures that might try to invade your collection.
