So much random stuff happened this week that making a title was really hard! First I had to quickly get carbon into my aquaponics filter to remove any potential pesticides or herbicides fungicides etc, which may have leached from new Vanda Orchids that I mistakenly soaked before rinsing. woops! 
Then i ran some errands and picked up some bulk Caladium bulbs as well as a couple of giant urns to transplant my front porch Arborvitaes into. The Arborvitaes and my other evergreens are horrible freeze burnt! The air is extra dry this year in the garden, so i added an extra coating of antitranspirant to seal in their moisture. I then went on to talk about my vanda orchid watering methods which lead to an update on my phalaenopsis that was infested with mealybugs! My adonidia palm had some die off with its' old growth, so i discussed that and cleaned off the dead palm fronds. Who's coming to the orchid show!?
