#Orchid Help I'm a new Orchid mom and want to be sure I am doing the right things. This arrived recently and I know not to put it in a different pot yet. I also bottom water all of my plants, so this will be the same. How do I care for it especially with roots out like they are? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang
