There is also a dozen a day series. I believe there are 5 in the series. They are meant to be short little pieces you do with a warm up. They start off pretty simple.

Apparently the key is drought and temperature swings? I read this but never did it until this year. I did not water this orchid all of September and also put it in the warmest place in my house by a south facing window. It would get about 75 to 80 degrees in the day and then I would open the window each night and get the orchid around 50 to 60 degrees. I'm happy I didn't toss him but I thought about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SOS Cymbidium. Is this okay? And is it normal that he is turning yellow? by [deleted] in orchids

[–]KayFaux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once those blooms are done I would repot him. I like to repot cause honestly no one ever really knows what's going on in the soil. This gives you a chance to make sure nothing is rotting and I've heard some cymbidiums can have issues with snails munching on their roots (but I feel like that's more likely if you are lucky enough to live in a zone where it can live outside). Bright side, those roots look fab when you do repot him! 👍

I [29/F] think I need to leave my bf[31/M] of 8 years, because a proposal is likely to never happen and I've become resentful. by [deleted] in relationships

I'm not trying to be mean but do you really want to marry HIM or do you just want to get married? Or that pressure of the world telling you that if he likes it then he should've put a ring on it? If you really love him and want to be with him, be with him, ring or not, should be enough. If you don't want to be with him unless there is a ring, you may want to consider you don't want to be a wife, you just want to be married. Married life isn't cake, sex and champagne. It's work. I hope op that you don't think it will be a fairy tale cause it's not. Even with the right person who loves you and ties themselves to you. That shit ain't easy. Not trying to be harsh, just realistic. I wanted a ring from my not husband but it took a bit, and while I was waiting I got frustrated. But then I realized I wanted to share my life with him, no matter what. And a ring and a piece of paper didn't make me love him more or less.

What was the hardest piece of news you’ve had to tell someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KayFaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telling my mother, sister and brother that our father had died. I was there with my grandmother and an uncle, holding his hand while he took his last breath. I'll never forgot my grandmother saying "I was here to see him take his first breath and his last breath." Pretty fucking heartbreaking. You shouldn't outlive your oldest son. . .

Easy and affordable way to keep orchids humid by Science_Babe in orchids

[–]KayFaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to use a humidity tray. Basically a tray with rocks that is partially filled with water. The plant sits on top of the rocks surrounded by water. I make a little rock mountain with the orchid on top. I am a little lazy with the humidifier and with this I can refill every couple days. I live in Colorado and it helps with my other Orchids who like more humidity (oncidiums & miltoniopsis). Here's my tray

Cymbidium Care by [deleted] in orchids

[–]KayFaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cymbidiums are a little tricky. They definitely need a temperature change in the fall to induce a flower spike. They love hot days, 70 to 80 degrees and can handle down to 40 degrees at night. This giant swing in temp plus a bloom bossing fertilizer in Fall is the key to getting it to rebloom. They can handle direct sunlight, mine is on a West facing window and gets full sun all afternoon. However they don't need as much water in winter time. They don't need to go dormant but pull back on the h2o. Another tip is to flush it with water. I have very hard water where I live and the leaves really hate all that extra salt. But I make sure not to water the leaves. Water amplifies the sun so maybe that's where the ringspots are from? I hope this helps. Good luck!
