froggy 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 got this orchid from the market downstairs just before CNY... love orchids... they are so pretty but, think i need to get a nicer pot for her very nice! And different from the usual colourful blossom, pussy willow and stuff how long does it last? Thinking hard about getting some hardy plants to place outside house, but never had green fingers ...

marshmallow 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 i love orchid too and i am thinking where i can buy orchid near my new house when i move..... hehehehe..... how much does a pot of orchid cost? this costs $20... it's a little pricey compared to HK but i think the price is good enough for SG hahaha... some more it's just downstairs, so convenient price varies depending on how big, how many blossoms etc~ very nice! And different from the usual colourful blossom, pussy willow and stuff how long does it last? Thinking hard about getting some hardy plants to place outside house, but never had green fingers ... orchid is quite easy to maintain and can last for long time. i bought it in end Jan, the flowers only started to drop this week (now still have more than half left). my mom said usually the orchid can last from before CNY till mid 2nd month on Chinese calender, that's more than a month the auntie from my downstairs' floral shop said, if we put fertilizer, after all the flowers withered, can just cut the stem of the orchid and new flowers will grow~ not sure if it can work cos my friend said quite difficult to get new flowers to grow... i'm keeping my fingers crossed.... there are some easy-to-grow flowers - there was one that i used to keep back in hostel days - rose look-alike flowers that is super easy to grow and extremely low maintenance, even lazy pple like me can keep it nice and good for years my godmother said it's called 死不了 but to date i still have no idea what is the proper name for this flower would like to keep this again~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(i am telling myself to be patient too). hhmm... i am going to do something bad... my friends asked me to cook for them, so i told them, i will cook if they help me to pluck some pandan leaves downstairs of my house before they come up. or else, no opening of door for them to come in, not to say, no food for them as well. Good idea? hahahahaha...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
