I never had orchids because I always read and heard they were temperamental. Spring of 2019 I bought one and the bloom lasted and lasted and the green stayed green very nicely.

Spring 2020, I saw a new leaf coming out of the center and was just sure a new bloom was on the way, I mean, if it is happy enough to produce a new leaf, doesn't that mean it is happy enough to have a bloom too?? But no.... no bloom. I was a bit miffed. I waffled about keeping it or giving it the boot, but, I let it stay.

Last fall I moved it to a window beside where I work during the day that gets heavy sun in the afternoons. At some point since then another new leave sprouted up and now, Two new root thingys have sprung out. I admit I have no idea what I am doing or what it needs or anything. It came with a little cup that shows how much (little) water to give it and how often and I was diligent to do as it should. I hope the new roots mean there will be a bloom this coming spring.
