Can't believe it is blooming! I have 4 orchids that I "inherited" about 4 years ago and don't know a thing about taking care of them. I have repotted them once in orchid mix, water them once a week and just hope for a bloom. Well, at least once a year they grant my wish. The blooms just last and last. This one has been blooming about 2 weeks now. Jenny

Congrats! Catts are the best. Take neglect and a bit of abuse too. Lovely colors!

MsC just don't baby them I guess. Maybe you give them too much attention. My poor orchids just get a weekly watering like the rest of my plants. Every once in awhile I remember to put a pinch of the bromeliad/orchid fertilizer in the water. Jenny

I am really new to orchids, but now have about 10 of them. When I bought my greenhouse through a orchid nursery this Spring, they gave me a $400. gift cert. to purchase orchids through them. I have been getting one every month, because I don't know a thing about growing them. It sounds like the Catts might be the way to go if they don't take alot of special care.

Jerodsmom- Are you KIDDING? A $400.00 gift certificate EVERY month?
