Summer 2021 Houseplant Tour

A short visit through the houseplants I have indoors right now. I got a sweet little mini phal in bloom, most of the rest of the orchids are still working on maybe giving me blooms in autumn. Everything is refreshing and green.

Everything is looking so good! Especially the calathea, what is your secret? 😁. Waiting for orchids to grow and mature and then bloom is such a trial in patience 😂. Can't wait to see updates. Hope you're doing well!

Hi! Nice to hear from you! The rattlesnake calathea has honestly just been incredibly low maintenance from day one. I don't know what I'm doing right but I'm not changing anything now. So the musaica is in the same conditions - down low near the humidifier and not too close to the grow light, and I hope it does as well! Hope you've been well in this hot summer!

Lol the mushroom almost looks like sliced pineapple. Or I just want fruit. Have you been able to get your orchid to rebloom? I can't figure out how.

[@velvetvert9431]

I have been able to rebloom a few orchids! Not too consistently yet. Two factors, I think - for the ones that can tolerate it, they go out into part-shade outdoors the whole summer. Then some of them need a cold snap/drop in nighttime temperatures to prompt blooming. I also hear good things about fertilizing but I don't do it enough!

@@velvetvert9431 cool thanks. I keep getting new leaves but no bloom. I fertilize but no cold snap so I'll try that.
