Repotted the orchid
I stole this one from Ron's old orchid houses before they were demolished after he died.
I had no idea what colour it was or anything. I found the little tag inside 'Belinda
Turned out it was a Singapote orchid! How appropriate for me.
I watched a few hoe to revive orchid videos on Youtube, using banana water, aloe vera water, and have snipped off the dead roots, and removed the old soil.
I have potted it up in spagnum moss and a bit of orchid soil from Bunnings.
Let's see if it grows.
This could be my new thing, orchid growing!
Poinciana update - she is growing back!
Relief that she is growing back. It will take a while for her to get to the size she was, but I am ok with that, and I am never trimming her again!
