How to fertilize Dendrobium Phalaenopsis
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

If our plants teach us anything it is that we can experience loss for where there is life there is also the inevitability of death. That’s the deal (to quote from the movie Shadowlands). I know a few close people who have recently experienced the loss of someone close and we so often express our sympathy and love with flowers, whether lilies or even rosemary. In Australia we mark the death of all the Australians in was with a sprig of rosemary and poppies to mark the loss of life in the First World War. And we can use herbs to help soothe us during times of hardship and loss. It is sometimes a difficult subject but it is important to allow people to grieve in their own way and in their own time. We can offer them a living gift of a plant to help them nurture So why not add something to express gratitude for the friends we have found through Greg and the friendships we have nurtured like plants 🌱 (Alex you get included as you and your wonderful team are ultimately responsible for nurturing such a friendly community of plant lovers) #plantboosttuesday #plantinginspiration #seymour #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #greggang #greggerssupportinggreggers #mentalhealthmatters #newgrowth #propagationstation #succulentlove #planttherapy #theamigos @alex #theamigos @Macstracks @PoisedAlbo @elisenavidad @FicusOnTheGood @proppinpossum @sarahsalith @ReallyMingfern @Soothsayer @HaPascanB @JesssJungle @JenniB81 @LaSiguanaba @Corinne @SensationalKoa @signorebean @Merranda @itsjordan @Keysgirl0179 @RootsnShoots @Linx @eeriewoodlander @RiomeQueen @Rockrlee @FlowerFairy @snowtrooper @MajorAngelmoss @RealSimpleMama @sarahsalith @UltraKoreanfir @CourtlyKingfern @SunnyPlants @ballondusoleil @Gustavo @Chevysgirl11 @Avocadonerd @SirLiquorice @PiousGermanivy @LikableDamiana @Amateurbotany @ImKindaABigDill @Michelle5986 @PlantHapppy @nellz4estfairyz @Maurs_Oasis @TheMoonChild @SUNSHiNEPLANTS @Luckyclovertrip @Snapdragon @KinderPlants @ittle.squid @KikiGoldblatt @KeenSucculent @ILoveMyPlants @TidyTigerpear @fawn @Lifeis2short @PlantBeach @HeraMonstera @Suzanthophile @Ninabeena @anomalocarys @Stephazar @RJG @Aikalovesphilos

Happy Mother's and Others Day! I just wanted to wish all my Greg app family 👨👩👦👦 a Happy Mother's 👩 and Others Day (and Weekend, given the timezones) And to the Greg team! I just had a lovely lunch with one of my "adopted" mothers 👩 during beautiful autumn (Fall 74'F sunny clear skies 🌞) weather. We also celebrated her recent birthday (she is a Taurus, and I love these peeps 🐮 - see below) Here are some photos of a florai shop we visited ❤️ Have a great weekend, and I hope your Mother's/Others Day is special and involves plants 🪴 🪴😀 Oh, and I had Eggs Benedict 🥚 🥚 with salmon 🐟 😋 and cake 🎂 Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac (April 21–May 20), and it's symbolized by the bull. As a Venus-ruled earth sign, Taurus (called Vrishaba in Vedic astrology) is grounded, sturdy, and interested in the beauty of the natural world. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #mothersday #greggang #theamigos #seymour #plantmememonday #plantboosttuesday #cpclubthursday #helpmenamemyplant

Posted here about a problem with my dendrobium nobile a few days ago, turns out it's probably going to die, but is it possible to propagate it from cuttings? Any tips on how to make the chances of success bigger? I know a lot of people use pothos plant cuttings together with what they are trying to propagate to make the root grow faster, but sadly I don't have that plant. Are there any other tips and tricks to make it work? #propagationstation #propagating #help #orchid #nobledendrobium

Sudden spotting isolated to 1 leaf which has been removed today. Top & bottom of questionable issue included. Anyone have any potential experience with this? Please share.

Orchid id Just learned that a family member (not an orchid person) has bought an orchid a while back, which she just does not get to rebloom. I'd like to help, but am stuck on the #plantID. Any #orchidlovers who know more? As of now I am torn between a special cattleya hybrid with more leaves than usual (going by the look of the pseudobulbs) or a dendrobium phalaenopsis (going by the leaves, but slightly put off by the look of the pseudobulbs). She says it bloomed with a spike from the top as far as she recalls, so that fits. Maybe with flowers smaller than from a dendrobium nobile, but she is far from sure, which would push me towards the amabile. Are there any #dendrobiumphalaenopsis or #cattleyaorchid specialists around? 😀
Care Summary for Dendrobium Phalaenopsis
Dendrobium Phalaenopsis
Greg recommends:
0.5 cups every 9 days
< 3ft from a window
Repot after 2x growth
Based on the 4” pot your plant is in, and that it doesn’t get direct sunlight.
