There are 5 <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/common" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with common">common</a> reasons why this happens.<br />
1. You Over-water them<br />
This is the number one killer of household <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>.  If an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> plant gets &#8220;soggy&#8221; from too much water, its roots will quickly start to rot.  <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> should be planted in a way that the water can freely flow away from the roots.  They should never be left sitting in water.  It will hurt your <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> less if you don&#8217;t water it enough than if you water it too much.  In general, an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> will not need watering more than twice a week.<br />
2. You Plant them in Potting Soil<br />
<a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> grow on trees (for this they are called epiphytes). They do not grow in the ground (with a few rare exceptions). Therefore, an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> will never appreciate being planted with soil.  <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> grow better when placed in bark or moss or some other substance with simulates the experience of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> on a tree.  You can even simply mount an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> plant on a piece of wood without ever putting it in a pot and it will thrive!  This is because <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> don&#8217;t absorb their nutrients from the tree or medium they grow in, but rather the air around them.  The only purpose of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> medium (bark or moss) is to help the plant be stable and not fall over.<br />
3. You Place them in Insufficient Light<br />
It is difficult to find the right spot for your <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> inside your house.  <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">Most</a> areas of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/home" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with home">home</a> lack the necessary lighting for an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to thrive and <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a>.  The best kind of light for an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to grow in is indirect sunlight.  This means sunlight that is filtered through a window or sheer curtain (or canopy of leaves, as in their natural habitat).  Too much direct light will &#8220;burn&#8221; the foliage.  But some rays of sunlight do need to come in contact with the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> daily: so it will need to be placed in a bright, but not too hot area of your <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/home" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with home">home</a>.<br />
4. You Forget they Need Wind<br />
<a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> grow way up high in trees when found in nature.  This means that they are used to being exposed to a lot of breezy air movement.  The air circulation helps the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to stay free from disease, pest infestations and rotting.  Keep your <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> plant near a breezy window or near a fan and it is more likely to stay happy and healthy.<br />
5. You Let the Air Get Dry<br />
<a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> absorb a lot of the moisture they need from the air.  This means they need to be in very humid conditions in order to thrive.  In nature, <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> usually grow in tropical rainforests.  The humidity there is between 60% and 90%.  Humidity inside a house is usually between 5% and 30%.  Using air conditioners, stoves and heaters reduces the humidity in our houses and makes it difficult for the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to obtain the necessary moisture.  You can remedy this by placing the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> in a bathroom or near trays filled with water.  As the water evaporates, it provides the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> with humidity.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How long does it take for an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> plant to rebloom? The answer is: it depends. I&#8217;m not trying to avoid your question, just being truthful. The truth of the matter of when an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> will <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/again" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Again">again</a> depends upon what kind of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> it is. Most <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> will produce blooms once a year but there are some which are capable of producing blooms several time a year if the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> conditions are just right, if not quite right they should still <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> once a year. Since your <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> was in <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> last Christmas, my guess is that it should do so at that time <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/again" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Again">again</a>.<br />
Since it is already October, if it were to <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> at Christmas time this year, it should be showing evidence of a new flower stem <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a>. But, depending upon what kind of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> you have, it can take from one month to six months for a new flower stem to be in full <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> once it begins to grow.<br />
On most <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>, once the flowers have all died and fallen off, you may remove the stem by cutting it off down near the base of the flower stem. Prior to cutting off the stem, take a look at the top or tip of the stem to see if it has begun to dry, if it does start to dry that means the stem is dying and may be removed. If there are any bulbs on the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>, you should leave them alone as they are a store of moisture and nutrients for the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>.<br />
Most dendrobiums are not that hard to grow but getting them to <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> reliably is the hard part. Moving them to Florida will make it easier. Why? The climate and sunshine it will receive all year round rather than the cold darkness in Indiana. Dendrobiums prefer warm bright weather, they will sulk and even die under cold dark conditions.<br />
From your description of them, I take it that they are of the evergreen <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/family" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with family">family</a> of dendrobiums. If they were from the deciduous <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/family" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with family">family</a> you would have mentioned that some of the growths had lost all their leaves. The primary difference between the two families is that evergreens do not like dry conditions while deciduous ones need a pronounced dry period.<br />
Why your evergreen dendrobiums have not rebloomed for you is in what you said &#8220;Since it is so cold and dark here in Indiana&#8221;. Whether in Indiana or Florida, place them in a location with bright indirect sunlight, temperatures between 60 to 85%F, humidity above 50%, light air movement around them. A good way to tell if it is getting enough light is to look at the leaves, they will be a medium green color when it is just right.<br />
A word of caution if you take them to Florida, move them into any new light conditions slowly over several weeks, as too sudden an exposure to brighter light may cause sunburn of the leaves. If possible, try exposing them to temperatures in the mid 50%F&#8217;s for a month in the fall, that may help trigger them into the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> cycle.<br />
If, by chance, the leaves fall off, leave the growths on the dendrobium as they are a storage mechanism for moisture and nutrients. Only remove the growths that appear to be dying. As for those new growths, they may appear to stop <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> due to the cold dark weather but should perk back up once things warm up and they receive more light.<br />
You do not have to wait for a <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> to identify the type of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> that it is if it is one of the more commonly available <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>. The most <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/common" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with common">common</a> is &#8220;phalaenopsis&#8221; that has large roundish to oblong leaves at the base of the plant and the flower spike grows from the apex of the leaves. Other <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/common" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with common">common</a> types are &#8220;the dendrobium, the lady slippers, and the Cattleyas&#8221;. Each has a distinctive vegetative structure. If there was no tag with the plant, then I&#8217;m afraid there is no way to know the name of the hybrid since so many different hybrids have similar flower types and colors.<br />
There are three principal types of containers for <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>. Phalaenopsis and lady slipper <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> are usually grown in a plastic pot, the heavier or more top heavy plants such as dendrobiums or cattleyas are better maintained in clay pots. Baskets are reserved for vandaceous <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> and require a very humid environment because the mix dries out very quickly. I would use a commercially prepared <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> mix that you can buy in bags at garden centers and mass marketers. I would soak this mix overnight before using it and drain it well before potting up your <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> plant in it.<br />
<a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> that have maroon leaves generally get that way from having grown in bright sunlight. That suggests to you that either it was neglected or it likes bright light. It is not uncommon for <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> to outgrow their pots. Many feel this is the time divide and repot the plant, but that is personal preference. Many <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> do just fine hanging way out of the pot.<br />
Since I don&#8217;t know what type of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> you have, I can only hazard a guess that they are roots emerging from the pot drainage holes. Some <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> send out <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> spikes from the base of the plant but those are potted in baskets not clay pots.<br />
For now, if the plant looks healthy,I would leave it as is until you get a further development such as flowering, plant die back, new growth starting,etc. <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> put on new growth once a year and usually, but not always, in the spring.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The prospective orchidist will want to have common education of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/family" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with family">family</a> and an appraise of the individual members with whom, he may want later to become more tightly acquainted. The scale of excellent is thick, since there are from fifteen to twenty thousand species. The <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/family" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with family">family</a> varies typically in territory, ranging throughout the tropics, over the calm zones of both hemispheres, and even feat into the fringes of the Arctic. There is an alike large change in category, with some systems of classification. The first division is into monopodial and sympodial groups, referring to the habit of increase. The monopodial, including the Vanda and Aerides, grow continually from a central crown, which eventually appears atop a long stem that has frequently alone its reduce plants. Phalaenopsis, though monopodial, is stemless, but yearly grows a twosome of leaves from the characteristic crown. The trees of monopodial <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> are profound, leathery, fleshy, and qualified of storing some measure of damp, but the plants must never be allowed to dry out completely. The plants of Vanda teres, like pine needles, do not resemble plants, but are three to four inches long, very little, cycle and tender, and narrowing to a stage. The sympodial group, of which Cattleya, Laelia, and Coelogyne are notable examples, has a creeping rootstock, with each new tumor springing from the center and alongside the last year&#8217;s increase. The new cyst appears as a growth or &#8220;hidden&#8221; eye that at the right time will &#8220;halt&#8221; or instigate to grow. In some genera, such as Laelia and Coelogyne, the growths will sever in some directions, but in Cattleya usually in only one. The pseudobulb, a characteristic of sympodial <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>, is a tank for food and moisture against times of need and dormancy. It differs commonly according to the different genera. The pseudobulb of Cattleya is longish, smooth, and rounded; while that of Laelia may be vaguely crushed, even in some gear assuming a many-sided pointed form. Certain species have pseudobulbs that resemble small pineapples. The pseudobulbs of Odonto-glossum and Miltonia are much flattened and compressed; those of Coelogyne are very round, midstream, and creative; and those of Cymbidium very large, rounded, and solid. Dendrobium in many species lacks pseudobulbs, but even the long stick-like <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/flower" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with flower">flower</a> stems, along which the leaves grow in pairs, are qualified of storing food and moisture. <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> may also be classified as saprophytic, terrestrial, partly-terrestrial, and epiphytic. Here we will not be much worried with the saprophytes, natives of clement zones, since they also lack plants fully or have small inconspicuous plants of awareness only to the botanist. The terrestrial <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> are also found in the temperate zones of both hemispheres. Among them are the tall Sobralia, elegant Cypripediums, Spiranthes, and fairy-flowered Habenaria. Calypso bulbosa (or borealis) is a native of the cold reaches of the Arctic. North America abounds in native <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>, many of which are very common and not generally recognized as <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>. <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">Most</a> flashy of these, the Cypripedium or well-known &#8220;woman&#8217;s slipper,&#8221; has a wide sort of territory in the United States and has attractive foliage as well as flowers. However, few of the terrestrial <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> transplant well from their muddy homes, and it is perhaps best to request them out and have them in their native habitat. By far the prime, <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">most</a> diverse, and <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">most</a> glitzy of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/family" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with family">family</a> are included in the half-terrestrial and epiphytic groups. These are tropical or subtropical and live on trees in the rainswept coastal jungles or on bare rocks in the hot sun. Their elevation ranges from sea direct to two thousand feet above sea rank. They abound through parts of Asia, the islands of the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and South and Central America. The Himalayas and the Andes are also affable to lovely <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>.

<p>It is important to take some time to understand how to best care for the particular type of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> you may have, as <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> have specific light and watering requirements. <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">Orchids</a> have beautiful blooms and flowers, but if you do not care for them <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/properly" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Properly">properly</a>, you may experience disappointing blooms or even a total lack of blooms. </p>
<p>For decorative purposes, <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/people" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with People">people</a> have developed creative <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/ways" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Ways">ways</a> to mount or transplant an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to grow on a mount that can be easily moved around the house or even hung on a wall or in a tree. In nature, it is <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/common" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with common">common</a> to see <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> in all sorts of places, such as the forks of trees, on rocks, on other larger plants. There are a number of techniques and methods involved in <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/mounting" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Mounting">mounting</a> an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> so it will take root on the mount successfully. </p>
<p>- Prepare the mount before you apply the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> medium and the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to it. Especially if you plant to hang this mount on a wall, you need to get all the hanging hardware installed before you apply the growth medium and the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> so as to not disturb the plant while it is attempting to take root in the medium. </p>
<p>- The <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/mounting" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Mounting">mounting</a> material, or growth medium, should be soaked overnight in water. </p>
<p>- One of the best materials for the growth medium is sphagnum moss, which is an organic material that is well suited for <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> roots to grow in. </p>
<p>- A further technique with the sphagnum medium is to allow the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to take root in the sphagnum before putting the sphagnum mat on the mount. This allows for a more secure root structure. </p>
<p>- The plant should be loosely tied to the growth medium and the mount using twisty ties, fine twine or fishing line. </p>
<p>In addition to the sphagnum moss, <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> can also be successfully mounted on dead cacti, tree fern slabs, tree bark, rough wood or cork bark. Cork bark is widely regarded to be the best <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/mounting" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Mounting">mounting</a> material and growth medium for <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a>. The roots are able to penetrate and take hold quite will on cork bark, and the material itself provides a measure of nutrients to the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>. </p>
<p>One thing to consider when planning to mount an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> to a growth medium is what the requirements of your specific <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> are. <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">Orchid</a> species that should be kept dryer than others should be mounted on a material that promotes quicker drying, preferably a permeable or porous material. </p>
<p>There are many resources in print and online showing step by step instructions on how to best mount various species of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchids" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchids">orchids</a> in a variety of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/ways" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Ways">ways</a>. The <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/mounting" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Mounting">mounting</a> process is quick and easy to learn, and is a good thing for any gardener to know how to do. </p>

A register of orchids is held at the Royal Horticultural Society in London. The Vanilla <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> was the first to enter Europe back in 1510. This was the source for the second <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">most</a> expensive flavouring extract (the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">most</a> expensive being the saffron crocus).  Over a hundred years passed, until in 1635 when the Cypripedium reginae was imported from North America, this is when orchids were first appreciated for their decorative features. The interest in the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> blossomed from this point onwards. However, even as late as the 1800 it was very rare to fine a collector with more than a few samples. In 1804 both the Berlin and the Paris Botanical Gardens both only held seven species of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/exotic" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with exotic">exotic</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>!!! The Viennese had the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">most</a> with a whole eleven special which in England there were merely three <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/exotic" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with exotic">exotic</a> orchids. These low numbers were not for want of trying, countries were importing orchids all the time, however, they were dying in transit, or not being kept in conditions which allowed for the plants to survive their new climates.<br />
Jean Linden was instrumental in increasing our knowledge of orchids, when in 1845 he travelled to South and Central America to study the orchids natural environment. The reports which Linden wrote were crucial in the recreation of the moist environments which we now associate with <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">most</a> orchids.<br />
Many of the early entrepreneurs who thought that this would be the way to make their millions were cut short in their ventures as they experienced huge losses as a result of the number of orchids not surviving the initial journeys. There were only four successful companies in Britain, one of them being Sanders, who continued to grow in the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> market for many years afterwards.<br />
In the early nineteenth century Dr Salisbury studied the germination of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> and from this much was learnt which enabled the industry to progress and many of the orchids which were imported suddenly became a more viable investment. With this new knowledge a gardener working for Veitch first tried to cross different <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> species in 1853. It was not until 1856 that the first <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> hybrid was created. From this time on many more hybrids were to be created. Mr Dominy who managed this probably had no idea how important this was and how it would change the future of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> cultivation. To this day the perfect black <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> is still being sort after and is still illusive.<br />
Today the special and rare qualities of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> are appreciated. In many areas there are species of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> which are considered endangered and you can be prosecuted for picking or damaging these in any way. Some orchids are definitely for viewing only. The <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/family" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with family">family</a> is the largest <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/flower" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with flower">flower</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/family" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with family">family</a> known and will continue to grow with hybrids being created each year. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Few plants evoke more attention than an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>; once so rare and costly, their exclusive reputation still renders them precious. Orchids in a living room immediately seem to lift the area into another dimension of luxury and ease of living. Many orchids will only have one <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> open at a time, yet <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/people" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with People">people</a> can gaze and appear mesmerized for several minutes whilst absorbing the intricate details of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a>.It is only fairly recently that <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/people" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with People">people</a> have thought about <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> their own orchids, yet already &#8216;<a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> societies&#8217; have grown up all over North America to give advice, to offer <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> &#8217;swaps&#8217; and encourage the growth of them. If you have ever thought of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> and displaying your own orchids, then it is advisable to put them in an east or north window as they prefer bright, filtered sunlight. South windows are best shaded for orchids.Orchids do not grow in soil, but rather in charcoal, fir bark, cork or stones. In the Tropics where they are quite <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/common" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with common">common</a>, it is not unusual to see an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> proudly out of a tree trunk! <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">Most</a> of the mixes (i.e. stones, cork etc) for <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/growing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Growing">growing</a> orchids are available in garden centers. The room temperatures for the best <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> growth are 59F to 81F during the day and dropping to around 52F to 59F at night. (This is 15 C-27 C and 11C-16 Centigrade).Some orchids will <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> and last for weeks and others will <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/bloom" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bloom">bloom</a> twice a year. Although orchids usually only need watering once a week, they are humid plants and like a spray spritz every day. Many of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> societies run a newsletter andsome have monthly meetings with guest speakers, a yearly show and many will offer tips on how to obtain, and grow, orchids.There are over 30,000 different species of orchids in the world, but only certain ones are suitable for the window sills of North America. The color of orchids are mostly bright and contrasting, although the pure white <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> is equally arresting.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bear one thing in psyche when potting orchids: Don&#8217;t use smooth or painted earthenware pots! Though decorative, they are injurious to stand expansion. They keep the droppings overwatered and underaired &#8211; both lethal to orchids. Otherwise, potting orchids &#8211; excepting for the prank of packing osmunda &#8211; is no different from potting azaleas or begonias. Select an untainted pot some inches wider than the broadest basal width of a terrestrial <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>. Soak it for a few report in lukewarm water, then drain. Place coarse irritate, small rocks, or crocks (bits of ruined pots) in the source third of the pot. Add several large handfuls of manure and influence to a funnel, the top of which is on a equal with the lesser rim of the pot. Spread the roots of the terrestrial <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> tenderly and evenly around the conduit, and permeate with additional droppings. Firm the dung lightly to relax it &#8211; never gang it &#8211; and water thoroughly. Later, water scarcely until swelling is established. Some deciduous orchids, as Calanthe vestita, squander their roots. Push their pseudobulbs into the droppings just far enough to storage them stiff. Other terrestrials, those without pseudobulbs such as Oncidium cavendishianum, may have to be wired or staked to the top of the compost since their grass would rot if roofed. The first time you shot to pot a tree <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> in osmunda you will find manually with the slightest popular lexis in your vocabulary. There is an assured deceive in treatment osmunda. Old-time growers regarded potting as the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/most" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Most">most</a> distasteful part of <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> urbanity. It was once said that osmunda had to be packed into pots with great load, using exclusive brushwood as levers. If, when you lifted an <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> by its foliage, the osmunda came unbound from the pot your society in <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> culture was considered very ambiguous It is now alleged that such extremist trial are not advisable. While osmunda stays strongly in place, share its character when knocked out of the pot, orchids will do satisfactorily. The hoax in potting with osmunda is to affect it while it is faintly damp. It is malleable then and packs more clearly. When it dries out it stiffens enough to solidify itself in the pot. Here is how you go about potting epiphytes. Take enough pieces of osmunda, sometimes called &#8220;<a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> peat,&#8221; to stuff several pots. Soak the osmunda overnight in a pail of water. The next morning ditch the pieces in a cool, dry, fishy place. In the sundown when you come <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/home" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with home">home</a> they should be just right for potting. They will feel sappy, adaptable, and fairly damp &#8211; not wet &#8211; to your touch. Take an unsoiled pot at least two inches wider in diameter than the corrupt of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>, steep it in moderate water for a few moments, then dry it out a bit. Soaking is not always needed, but it helps the osmunda slide down the dirt sides of the pot. Set the pot on its immoral and add enough grate or crocks to soak it one-third. Take the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a> in your left hand, the vile (bulb) resting on top of your thumb and forefinger. Smooth the roots over the back of your hand. Select a case of osmunda as near pointed in shape as potential. Put it beneath the base of the <a href="http://orchids.tjorchid.com/tag/orchid" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with orchid">orchid</a>, moving the corm. Spread the roots around it. With other pieces of osmunda &#8211; faintly less in chunk than two-thirds the power of the pot &#8211; protect the roots. Work apparent, in a sphere, until the osmunda layer the roots is a little better in diameter than the top of the pot. Squeeze the osmunda with both hands, critical it into the pot with a sliding motion. Farther packing is accomplished by inserting the fingers of your left hand between the osmunda and the section of the pot. In the gap so twisted sneak another small piece of osmunda. Turn the pot vaguely and repeat the means. Keep rotary, squeezing, and adding osmunda until you have to exercise some bully; then break. Now you can pot your orchids shrewd right how you should go about it. </p>
