Living in a home is different from Living in a rented space. First of all, the responsibility of the house you own is yours. Anything that needs done, you better make it happen, otherwise it will fall to disrepair. Now, the outside of the house needs painting, we hired a painter, who became a memeber of the house hold.
I had (notice the word HAD) a dendrobium that refused to do anything the first couple of years. I would speak sweetly, yell, do everthing to make it spike and grow, but it did nothing. Suddenly, after many years, it started blooming and was beautiful. In fact it became a tree which surprised all of us. In fact, a friend who knows so much about orchids was amazed. But back to my story.
So the painter started painting, now, mind you this is the Summer so all the orchids were outside. We were lazy and did move the orchids from the wall of the house, thought it would be just fine. The painter put a plastic cover over the orchids for protection. I can tell you that was not enough. The job was finished so I went to check on the orchids and to my surprise the tree in now the size of a small plant. All the branches broke - I was heart broken - I am starting all over again to produce the tree.
I am happy to report, I will have my first BlOOM from the disaster. Once it blooms, I will take a picture and post it. WishI had taken the picture of the tree.
