Does anyone else see sad, neglected, unhealthy plants in businesses’ lobbies and want to rescue them, take them home, and care for them until they’re well again?
Rescued some orchids from my therapist’s office building (with the owner’s consent)
I brought them home, explaining to them during the car ride that they were coming to a new home, where I will care for them and hopefully they’ll be much happier. Once home, I removed them from their sad, cramped little pots, gave them a good soak and transferred them into their new homes. I put one in an orchid bark mix and the other two in a water culture dish, sprayed them down with some orchid food spray and named them.
The one in the bark planter is Wilbur.
The two in the water culture are Frogmore and Orcus.
