A few years ago, this orchid was not doing well inside my house, so I liberated it: removed it from the pot, tied it to a tree, and left it completely alone.
The photo is pretty straight forward, really just a snapshot, but I wanted to share my happy orchid with you. I tuned the image slightly in Snapseed for clarity.
If you love it let it go. I'm glad it worked out for both of you. It's a treat to see this orchid in all its flowering stages, from bud to bloom. I like the succulence of the bejeweled petals.
Ha, you liberated it but it’s still tied to a tree, seems like a little bit of attachment does wonders, I want to try and smell it. Thanks for sharing.
The ties came off after a year. It is holding onto the tree all by itself now. :)
Orchids like being tied to trees with nylon cord. There are instructions on how to cultivate them this way and evidently it worked for yours. Very pretty blooms.
