It certainly does. Our plants bring us such joy. It’s rewarding to see them grow. I have 2 orchid plants that rebloomed after 2 years. It was a surprise to see the stem beginning and the buds grow for the blooms. At this point cherish “whatever” brings you joy and gives you a smile.
What are your best tips for nurturing orchids?
I really don’t have any the re-bloom was a surprise. I just kept them in the window and gave them each 2 ice cubes once a week. Didn’t mess with them too much. They get light most of the day. It was really fascinating watching the growth progression.
I enjoy watching plants grow, too.
