7 Life Lessons from my Orchid Garden

  1. It takes time for a plant to bloom and flower.

  2. Blooming does not happen all the time.

  3. Watering on a consistent schedule is necessary.

  4. Sunlight is essential.

  5. Being among other orchids allows for staggered blooming and creates a beautiful community garden.

  6. Pruning and the removal of withered and yellow leaves keeps the plant healthy.

  7. Death of a bloom is inevitable and within the natural couse of a life cycle.
