HannahMariia Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I bought this orchid from Asda and you will never guess the price...5p. Leaves were wrinkly and limp roots were brown and dry but now it's flowering. I love rescuing orchids [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nice one, an orchid for 5p is good going! It's surprising how many of the common phalenopsis orchids you see reduced down in supermarkets/retail stores - they buy so many in bulk and can't keep them alive long enough. See the same thing with VFTs... think we've all rescued a couple of them over the years! ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danl82 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 All my orchids, except for one which was a present, were bought once they were reduced in price. The usual pattern is, garden centre gets in a load, flowers fade and leaves dry up a bit on those that dont sell. Then they reduce them to a couple of quid to get rid of them and i pick up a bargain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
