Phalaenopsis "Dennis"
Jan. 27, 2015: Here is my last troublesome orchid, Dennis. Dennis is living in my room now and I don't think he's getting enough light. Also, he's the only plant that I haven't removed from the regular soil. His pot is already getting moldy and I know his roots are just sitting in this moist soil. I am desperate to find the correct pot for him before I repot him correctly.
Jan. 28, 2015: Well la de da, look who got a new home. Dennis is finally out of his soil and terra cotta pot and into a gorgeous mix of sphagnum moss, fir bark, and charcoal. His roots were actually beautiful and have tons of new white shoots that I expect will continue to thrive in the new healthy environment. Thanks to Danny from Miss Orchid Girl for the clear plastic pot ideas (and much more).
Feb. 12, 2015: Dennis is doing so well! He's got this beautiful new leaf which just makes me so happy. His roots are also looking fantastic with many new bright green tips.
