House plants

[goosegirl]

Does any one own? if so which type and whats the best way to care for them?

I bought one with deep pink/purple flowers, I don't know the name I managed to lose the tag on the way home. The flowers have died so I trimmed the stalks back. How long should it take to flower again?

Hi GG,

I hope the link All About Orchids (http://www.orchid.org.uk/contents.htm)will help you. :unsure: From the programmes I've seen, you need to be quite ruthless with them at times. ;)

Nice one,

Hollygolightly hope your keeping well.

Good luck with your orchids GG, I understand they are very difficult to look after.

I am no good with houseplants, a bonsai tree bought for hubbys birthday by his mother, just died on me. Mind you, he didn't want it, had never expressed an interest or liking for bonsai, and his mother bought it because she forgot his birthday, and remembered at thew garden centre! :hihi:

I suppose it's better than being given a Mr Potato Head. :jump: :jump:
