I wouldn’t say that I was much of a gardener, no skill really other than then weeds always seem to thrive. On our kitchen window sill (indoors) we have an orchid which is now several years old, it has flowered quite a lot and is a delight to see. Care wise we do next to nothing to it other than lightly water from time to time, it was supplied rooted in bark clippings and in a transparent pot. I was told by a ‘professional gardener’ that such a pot replicates how they grow in the wild, just sitting on the bark of some host tree.
