Happy February Everyone!
Welcome to the CJOS February 2024 monthly blog post! We are now in the heart of orchid show season. The NJOS was a great success back in January, and we still have DCOS (February) and SEPOS (April) coming up!
Many orchids begin to bloom š¼ now, as they have had a slight cooldown from summer and have most likely been through a slightly drier winter rest. With the longer daylight āļø per day slowly increasing, you should start to notice new growth š± on some plants exposed to outdoor light (near windows, in bright rooms with windows, etc...). Don't go too crazy with the watering š¦ and fertilizing just yet, as the plants are still coming into full Spring/Summer growth. Observe plants for any hidden pests and treat them appropriately.š·Spring is close!
We hope to continue to grow CJOS as a fun and knowledgeable orchid society; We welcome all to join us monthly! Happy orchid growing and gardening!
