my mini Phalaenopsis orchid (which is starting to flower again) has an abundance of aerial roots, but few surviving roots in the pot. i plan to change the medium (repot into the same pot), but my experience tells me that doing so will kill the flowers. waiting for the flowers to drop on their own might take me into next winter. so in the meantime, i stuck some of the aerial root tips into a dish of water. maybe this will help it stay healthy throughout its flowering. 🤷

I've been hugely neglectful of my plants this winter.

I nearly killed this Nepenthes forgetting to water it just at the point when it gets least sun.

It will grow fresh traps over the summer but it's looking a bit sad at the moment.

Second pic is from when I bought it - to give you an idea of what it 'should' look like. :))

mini Phalaenopsis update

we're not in full bloom yet, but the spike has a few open flowers now. i think it was November when the spike first started developing? it's been a long time coming but i'm excited to see some flowers, finally.
