We are getting ready to move into an apartment with no sun exposure, it will be surrounded by trees. We do live in FL. so humidity factor is good. Should I set my plant on the deck outside? I am concerned it will be shocked because it is leaving a large window with a lot of light.

In reply to Jigna. I have one like this. It even has blooms on it right now. Wondering how to repot it when blooms are gone with no roots to start with. Thanks.

Hi .Loved your blog..great info. My plant has lost all the roots and stems but somehow the leaves are thriving . There is a pair of leaves on 3 dead stems and they seem to be thriving. Do they need to be transplanted on orchid soil/ bark? If so, how do I do it without roots?

In reply to Rachel. The humidity reaches the leaves via the surrounding air. You dont need airholes.

Great blog post on the love and care of Amaryllis! I have given at least one bulb to my Dad at Christmas for the past 20 years. He is now just shy of 94 and guess what he wants for Christmas?! This year I will try saving the bulb. Thank you!

Hi. My orchid is in a pot without drainage holes. Does the humidity enter through the drainage holes or will the humidity reach the plant just from sitting on the humidity tray?

In reply to Marta. Hi Marta, it's not necessary outdoors with natural humidity.

Should I have a humid tray for orchids that stay outside like Epidendrum?
Thank you

Hi,

Can the humidity tray be placed next to the orchid or should it be mandatorily placed under the orchid pot ?
