What do I do with it now?? Take off the wrapping and panic? [emoji33]
Yours is gorgeous as well. They like cold and just enough water to wet their "soil". Keep that in mind and then you can panic. They say if you want to make your orchard flower you need to shock it with cold.

Stand it in a bowl of warm water for an hour once a week. Let the water drain away. It mustn’t sit in a puddle. Keep it on a north facing windowsill. It doesn’t want direct sunlight.

No danger of direct sunlight in Denmark. [emoji23] Thank you, Linda! Hope you’re well and had a great start of 2019. [emoji173]️

I’ll keep all windows open from now on. Seems the orchid should be the official flower of the CDR. [emoji23]

Good mornooning all. It appears I am not quite as free of daughter’s cold as I thought. I had a bit of a rough night. I shall be taking it easy today.

As you should.. Good morning Linda... it’s a tricky time of the year to differentiate between a cold and something worse. Don’t over-do! Sounds like a great time to take advantage of that beautiful conservatory you’ve got:)
