This is the only orchid/plant I have... When u say "soft water marking" what exactly do u mean... I have town water so no well water... I know when I cut the leaf off to use alcohol on the knife to sterilize it. What kind of bactericide should I use? I heard u can use cinnamon as well, have u heard of this? There are still tons of flowers on the plant and I dont want it to die due to me.... I got it for Valentine's Day!
