It is hard for me to throw away living plants. I always want to give them a second chance. Sometimes, it takes just a little TLC for a plant to revive and even thrive.
Orchids are a great story in this way. Often times we get orchids as gifts. Once they are done blooming they head for the yard waste bin. That’s just so hard for me. So I keep the orchids, and even take some discarded ones from others at times! It is so rewarding when an orchid throws a new spike and produces more great blooms.
Here’s a good example of an orchid that I save. It may have taken a year for the plant to bloom again, but wow is it worth it!
