TIMELINE

May 31/19: One of my dear friends gave me Orchid 001 as part of my birthday gift. When I first received it, it was a beautiful mini orchid with tons of blooms. I have no idea what I’m doing though so it hasn’t bloomed again since. It has, however, grown a few new leaves and a very long aerial root! I love how this plant looks, even without the blooms.

Jun 9/20: It’s time for Orchid 001 to move into a bigger pot. I didn’t want to buy an entire bag of orchid potting mix so I researched some alternatives and decided to pot the orchid in rocks instead. We’ll see how it goes.

Jul 9/20: Orchid 001 in its new pot.

Aug 20/20: Orchid 001 seems to be doing well planted in the rocks! I fertilize it lightly every two weeks.
