I've always wanted to get one but I highly doubt it'd survive between my inability to care THAT much for a plant and my plant eating cat!Vanessa {www.vanillaroseblog.com}https://www.blogger.com/profile/05148266642700274995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-53757677202602661672012-03-12T13:47:19.259-07:002012-03-12T13:47:19.259-07:00I feel you on the grocery budget issue.

Luckily in spring I can get them much cheaper at the farmer's market and it is easier to indulge.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819528155575569595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-11064768047905557582012-03-12T13:46:24.404-07:002012-03-12T13:46:24.404-07:00Thanks, Roseann!

I wish I was a green thumb but I'm not sure I have it in me. At the moment I'm trying to keep herbs alive before I move on to flowers.

We spray ours with a spray bottle every other day or so and once a week give them a 5 minute warm shower (literally in the shower with the door closed) and then let them soak up the steam until there is no more. They don't want too much water and like to dry out a bit in between. Good luck!<br /><br />More orchids <a href="http://thenakedrose.com/2012/01/orchidland.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://thenakedrose.com/2011/07/check-that-one-off-list.html" rel="nofollow">here!</a>Roseannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598463706395528954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-88382273401843782432012-03-09T08:49:08.215-08:002012-03-09T08:49:08.215-08:00Orchids are so hard to manage!
