Not bec...I might be able to help with the orchids. Not because I am good at plants but because someone told me what to do.<br /><br />Once every 2 weeks fill the orchid pot with water - leave it for a few seconds and then empty the water out.<br /><br />I have two orchids, one has just lost its 3rd lot of flowers and the other has its 2nd lot still going strong.<br /><br />I cut off the stem and continue with the watering every 2 weeks. Can't remember how long it took!

I spray them with a anti-bug spray before taking them back in (a tip from a gardener relative of mine). But to be honest I don't remember which of those that now are inside that made it trough winter were the ones that were outside last summer...<br />I will put some outside this year again, either from the cuttings I made now or then get a few new ones. But I don't know if the lack of winter rest affects them any different if put outside.<br />The only thing I know is that I've never managed to keep a geranium alive over winter when I've tried winter rest :D But the ones that have been around all-year round in "regular mode" thrive. <br />(But I do water those too less in winter and it's a dark season and the window sill is the coldest place at home so perhaps it counts as rest anyway?)<br />The Freelancer's FashionBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850119040594558585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453221088340380437.post-12817195660476527912015-03-24T10:31:34.738+02:002015-03-24T10:31:34.738+02:00*inside I meant inside!*inside I meant inside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453221088340380437.post-12905024841356503912015-03-24T10:30:55.840+02:002015-03-24T10:30:55.840+02:00I keep my geraniums in the kitchen and now I'm...I keep my geraniums in the kitchen and now I'm planning to take them outside. Is it a good idea? Many people have told me that it was a big mistake from the beginning to keep my geraniums outside as I didnt let them rest during winter time. Any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
