From Haugesund. With 3 children and a husband who's seemingly constantly away on business, I garden like it could save my life - and it probably does!

Still alive and full of flowers after about a year in this house! Yay! (Have I mentioned that my track record with indoor plants isn't great?)

It was given to us ('us' being code for 'me' when it comes to plants) as a gift, and I've been so scared of killing it, @KariSamuel 😂😂😂

@emve I think you doing great. Let the mother nature to make her magic and enjoy this wonderful plant. The only i can say is about the watering. Water only when the roots are silvery-grey with room temperature water.

Thank you @Christos . I have never given it any fertilizer. Should I consider some of that? Special stuff or just a weak solution of what I give other flowering plants?

@emve If you can find a baby bio orchid food it will be great. Make sure that you use only 3 or 4 drops per litre. Also dip cotton pads in water with few drops of lemon juice, squeeze well and with that clean the leaves top and bottom.
