The shelf that houses all but 2 of my orchids has failed to hold onto the wall and fell approx. 5 ft to the ground today.
Why?
The idiot that installed the shelf attached it to drywall instead of wall studs. I wish I took pictures, but I was too concerned with the state of my orchids and carpet to do so. Luckily, there was minimal dammage - Everything needs a repotting though. Cleaning the spilled media and terra-cotta from my carpet was a pain in the ass. The media was too damp and sticky for the vacuum to pick up but too small to pick it all up by hand. Tedious work!
Its a funny turn of events because I just came home with two more orchids for my collection and my orchid supply order came in the day before. Fate?
Needles to say, I will be updating again with the repotting info.
Wish me luck...
