Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I had them gave my mother one she had for years

dilute your fertilizer so it's real weak
roots burn easily
don't over water
forget about them
If your lucky they will bloom same time every year
Thanks Gary. I gathered from the care instructions that you really don't have to do much, and orchids prefer to be almost completely dry before watering again. Also mentioned fertilizer and how/where to cut after flowers are gone. How often are you supposed to fertilize them?

My brothers girlfriend works at a orchid greenhouse. I have had my 9 orchids for 3 years. The main thing is do not over water it. I just give them 3 ice cubes for each plant once a week and they are doing very well.
Thanks! Do you fertilize them? Cut them back after the flowers are gone for the season?

Quote from BoydSchidtt :
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept; we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car.

Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Apparently I'm still lost...

Yeah, sounds easy enough - less messy than watering, and keeps ya' from over-watering.

Thanks! Do you fertilize them? Cut them back after the flowers are gone for the season?

it's been a while
I think I gave them like 1/10 normal amount of fertilizer every time I watered
My mother only did it every 3 months or so when ever she remembered
one of hers bloomed every year the others bloomed on and off
hers kept growing and they were in a window with a south exposure

mine never got a large as hers but bloomed almost every other year

Every year we would re-pot them with new medium and split them if they got too big.
We did that maybe every 3 years or so. We ended up giving plants away after a while.

That started about 14 or 15 hours ago. I'd guess they're long gone.

Thanks! Gave it a try. I've entered the Right @ Home ones before - drives me nuts that you don't know when the samples are taken.
