Last weekend Alejandro and I were at Home Depot to pick up a few things for the apartment. They had a large selection of orchids which were on sale. I have never had an orchid before, but a friend of mine back in Ohio says that they are easy to grow. After some hesitation, I went ahead and bought one. It is in front of the living room window where it gets bright sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains.
The plant is in a plastic container filled with bark. The directions say to water it every 10 to 12 days, although I know that my friend waters it by placing ice cubes in the container. I am sure that when she reads this, she will give me some advice.
I set it in a small Mexican dish, but today we are going to the "tianguis (outdoor market) that is held every Sunday around the corner from the apartment. I'll see if I can find an attractive pot in which to place it.
