thod SUGGESTION FUR PUTTING ANL 
WATERING ORCHID PLINTS 
We are not experts, this is just to help those that are not familiar with handling 
Orchids. This is also the way we pot and care for our plants. We grow them very suc- 
cesstully. 
Place your Osmunda Fiber in a large container and soak for an hour or more. 
Shred in small pieces for easier handling.Fill flower pot |/4 with pieces of charcoal 
or pieces of broken flower pots. Some use small stones. This is to insure good drainage. 
Then pack your Osmunda Fiber piece at a time using a potting stick (piece of wood, 
sharpened like pencil on one end) be sure your fiber is packed well. If your plant does 
not have roots pack fiber to about | inch from the top of pot and then cut some very 
stiff wire and shape it like a hairpin and fasten your plant with (hairpin) on the 
Wels careful never to cover your bulbs with fiber. Use only clay pots never use 
glazed. 
If you prefer your plants in baskets use the same method always making sure 
your plants are secure and not loose. You can tie the wire through bottom of bas- 
ket. If your plant is potted correctiy you will be able to pick pot up with plant and 
it will not come out. 
If you can purchase cork bark you do not have to have Osmunda Fiber. Just use 
a drill or ice pick and punch holes and use a soft copper wire to secure your plant to 
the cork. Be careful and do not cut plant by pulling wire to tight. If you like rustic 
effect use piece of Oak with Bark still on, use some large headed tacks and tack some 
Osmunda Fiber on log first, then you can either wire your plant on log or if is a 
large plant just place nail through an old back bulb. By the time your plant has 
started to growing you will be able to pull the nail out. We water mounted plants 
every day. Water your potted plants well and allow them to dry out, then water 
again thoroughly. 
We don't care how Mr. or Mrs. So-and-So pots, mounts or waters their plants. 
This is the way we handle ours and we have great success with them. 
We do recommend our customers to join a good Orchid Society, that way you 
can learn anything new that comes up, new growing methods etc. It will not cost you 
a lot and you will enjoy every page. There are other dealers listed in them but we 
are not afraid of competition. If any one can sell the same quality and size plants 
we do for the money we would be happy for you to buy from them. Our plants are 
exactly as described in this folder. We sell on a money back Guarantee. Out of 
almost |,000 orders, we had one reported frozen. We ship throughout the year.
