I picked up this tie dye looking orchid at IKEA this week - it did have three flowers on it, but Parker ripped one off before we even left the store. I guess babies just don't appreciate the delicate beauty of orchids. That's okay, though, because I'm hoping that I'll be able to get it to re-bloom. We have some orchids at work that I got to re-bloom (once) so now I'm like an orchid expert.
My plan to keep it alive is as follows:
a. put it in a windowsill
b. have a tray filled with rocks and water under the pot
c. water it once a week with orchid food
This is probably not the official right way to care for an orchid, but it worked for me once, and it's a simple routine, so I'm going to try it again. I'm somewhat unsure about whether or not to cut off the stem after the flowers fade, so I think I'm just going to leave it, and see what happens.
Wish me luck!
