My REAL question:
I have two orchids given to us a couple of years ago, in some container with two 4" pots inside. I figured that once it was gone, it was gone, never to bloom again. It/they sat outside for I don't know how long. It could have been for three years. Always blooming. I don't know the variety. But it sat out in the West Palm Beach sun. Or on our Condo deck in partial shade. But whenever it rained, the container filled up. The plants were happy. It may have only had one plant in each pot. It ended up with multiple plants in each pot. The leaves looked like heck. I finally realized that snails were eating the blooms and the leaves. The plants won't die. Today, I decided to get new ones. But the plants in the pots are still doing well. One has developed a new root system on top of a stalk. The other plants have their root systems up in the air with the ends in the medium.
If a plant works as hard as these to survive and does, I can't kill it. My wife loves the things. So, unless it all turns brown and dries out, it won't be headed for the Condo Dumpster.
This plant has been out in the weather and rain for at least 2 years. 100 degree+ summers and 40 degree winters.
Any thoughts?
