Orchids................
Ken you are right I get them at the big box stores or Grocery store. Usually between Nov-Dec. I pick one that have buds that have not opened, They bloom for me until about March. The leaves look good. I have Orchid bark that I put them in and have very pretty pots to put them in because I display them all winter in the living room and great room.
Very careful with watering possibly under water could very well be the problem. I put them outside in the summer and they grow great. I bring them inside and they look good all winter. Then when Spring starts to arrive they start losing their leaves and I have checked the roots they look green and thick but the leaves start to die. The dying leaf continues until they are all finally gone. I will still have those thick green roots but no leaves. Then the roots start to turn brown and the plant is gone.
