More C – Tistu
A person who knows how to take care of plants is often called a green-finger, an allusion to a boy called Tistu, a character in Maurice Druon’s book. In fact, you do not seem to need much effort to have beautiful orchids in your home. What few people know is that one can develop a “green finger”. The recipe is so simple that it seems magical: watch for the signs given by the plant. And make lots of mistakes, because this is the only way to learn.

Also: Orchids “talk” when they are thirsty (their leaves lose vigor and their pseudobulbs wrinkle), when they are drowning (their leaves fall while still green and their bulbs rot), when they need more light (their leaves get yellow and they sprout but fail to blossom) or less light (you’ll see circular burns on their leaves). When they are being attacked by pests, you’ll see stains or holes on their flowers and leaves. If you see cloves or little ferns in an orchid’s substrate, it’s time to change the soil. And if it is growing out of the pot, it is begging for a bigger pot. Familiarize yourself with the plant by watching it every time you water it. You’ll be introduced to a world full of new things!
