lessons learned

Orchids;  If they're happy DO NOT MOVE THEM, they are creatures of habit! learn from my costly and saddening mistakes.

Foliar feeding my plants was suggested to me, I've found it to be a convenient way to apply nourishing tonics like my 'green genie' cocktail; 1tb MiracleGro 1/4 cup Alaska emulsified seaweed 2 capfuls of SuperThrive in 3L of water. Everyone loves it.

Colonel Mustard in the conservatory

I also add Alaska dried fish pellets every so often to enliven soil.

Let your soil (and roots) breathe before soaking it thoroughly with water again. Ants help aerate the soil.

Enjoy this humid hot summer! The plants are thriving.
