- the pond should be in full sun
  it should be away from any trees that drop their leaves, especially
  Willow, Elder, Poplars, Laburnum, Yew and Oak
  try to be sure that the garden pond is not exposed to the North winds
  avoid water-logged areas
  consider the closest water source
  also should consider the source of electricity if you plan on having
  fountains or waterfalls. I urge you to do this.
  consider the safety of children who may fall head first into the pond.

orchid reblooming care on 2009-01-10
- prefer bright indirect sunlight with maybe a few hours of direct early morning sun, temperatures between 60 to 85 F, humidity above 50%, some light air movement along with some water and food
- To help it start the next bloom cycle, around August feed it some epsom salt. Yes, that's right, epsom salt. Epsom salt is actually Sulphate of Magnesium and magnesium in small amounts can help the phal initiate the blooming cycle. For 2 or 3 watering cycles in August, mix a teaspoon of epsom salt in a quart of luke warm water and water the phal. with the entire mixture.
- 2 more annotations...
- - Around September, allow the phal to experience night temperatures around 55 F for 2 to 3 weeks
  - As the stalk grows longer and longer, place a support stake in the pot near the stalk, loosely tie the stalk to the stake about every 6 inches to make it grow upward. During this time, try to ensure the stalk is facing the light in the same direction as changing the direction it faces the light will cause the blooms to open facing all different directions.
