Thanks for watching everyone. Orchids are new for me. I promise I won’t be watering with an ice cube, so please, disregard that point as I have had many helpful viewers tell me it’s a bad idea! 🤗

Keep the leaves clean, wipe them with moist cloth. Keep the moisture away from the crown of the plant. Water with luke warm water and fertilize with diluted solution. Miss Orchid Girl has a KZitem chanel dedicated to orchids, I recommend you watch it. Have a good luck. 🙂

It's so odd, because with every orchids I have ever bought, the tag says to water with an icecube each week, yet your not supposed to do that at all. So why do the directions say to do this?

Laura, it's so good to see that you're still making videos. I wondered where you had gone, I've missed you! Happy belated birthday, I hope you had a wonderful day! Your myrtle topiaries are pruned beautifully, did you grow and shape them yourself? This fall, about 2 months ago, I discovered 7 small boxwoods (I think they grew from seed), they are all near the base of my large boxwood shrubs. I plan on transplanting them into planters and try to train them into topiaries this spring. Baxter is such a cute little guy, I bet your sons love having him as part of the family! Stay safe snd healthy. ~Margie

Happy New Year to you too, Laura. Your house is so cosy, warm, welcoming and inviting. Love the way you displayed the collection of pots on the vintage table, such a nice vignette. I like how the pots are mismatched with different saucers. Your boys made good choices with the primrose and orchid and so did your dad with the yellow roses - happy birthday. Baxter is just so adorable - his coloured stripes make him almost look like a skunk. So cute. I’m sure he will be a great garden helper. Last week we had to say goodbye to our 12 year old Labrador. Her name was Sugar. So seeing Baxter gave me so much joy. Thank you. Just loved this video on so many levels.

Everything is beautiful. If I may offer some advice for your orchid. Orchids are epiphytes and do not want to be potted in soil. Phalaenopsis should be potted up in a bark mix or bark and moss mix (sphagnum) for good air circulation to the roots. It will grow perfectly in your beautiful orchid pot with the lightweight bark mix.
