[Soliloquy]

I don't have as many as I used to (darn cats) but I'm a plant person.

Most people whose plants die and they don't know the cause, it's from over-watering. People that under-water know they under-water. Very few plants can stand sitting in constantly wet soil. So, my best houseplant advice is to let the soil dry out thoroughly between waterings, unless you have one of those plants that loves wet feet. Which is unlikely.

If you have succulents, water even less frequently.

Spider plants are in the lily family and their roots grow tubers, just like lilies. The tubers will rot if the soil is kept moist. So let the soil dry out.

I prefer a granular, slow release fertilizer. You put in in the soil when you re-pot or just on top of the soil if you don't need to re-pot. It slowly releases with every watering.

I love Epsoma products for my outdoor gardening. I haven't tried any of their products for indoor plants, though. But I would if they had the type of product I needed.

If you are looking for a plant that will survive in almost any condition, look for a ZZ plant. I think they're gorgeous and they will grow fastest in sun but will do fine with low light and neglect, too.

What's wrong with your orchid?
