Florida is tropical so it means hot and humid too. Orchids by nature like shady and cool place...with sunlight but not direct sunlight. So to protect your Orchids from sun burnt you should use a net to screen the sunlight. You could buy this net in garden shops. Generally, orchids are high maintenance plants, they need constant attention if you like them in bloom regularly. There are liquid fertilizer...actually its known as soluble fertilizer you will know more about them when you check out any garden shops, fertilizer as food supplement or for blooming purposes. I don't like spray fertilizer it's hazardous to ones health. I favor the multicote fertilizer...commonly known as slow release fertilizer that you could also buy from garden shops. Dendrobium variety is quite a lot of choices...and they easily bloom too, if you are a first time gardener on orchids I suggest Dendrobium, Vanda and Phalaeonopsis...then other variety will follow...there are lots and lots of them.

google search string [ "soap plant" "Native American" ]\n-------------------------------\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe Wavy-leafed Soap Plant, Chlorogalum pomeridianum, is the commonest and most widely distributed of the Soap Plants, Soaproots or Amoles, which make up the genus Chlorogalum of flowering plants. It is found in most of California, apart from the Sierra Nevadas and the deserts, and also in south-western Oregon. It is occasionally known as the "wild potato", but given the plant's lack of either resemblance or relationship to the potato, this name is not recommended.\n\nLike all the Soap Plants, the Wavy-leafed Soap Plant is a perennial that grows from a bulb, which is brown, between 7 and 15 cm in diameter, slightly elongated, and covered in thick, coarse fibres. The leaves grow from the base of the plant, and can be from 20 to 70 cm long and 6 to 25 mm wide. As the plant's name indicates, their edges are generally wavy, though this is not always particularly noticeable. The flowers are borne on a long stem, normally longer than the leaves, and are from 15 to 30mm long. The six petals (actually only three of them are petals in the technical sense; the other three are sepals) are up to 35mm long and curving. They are generally white but have a noticeable mid-vein which can be purple or green in colour. The six stamens are large and noticeable, and yellow or orange. The flowers are hermaphrodite. They open only in the late afternoon or evening, remaining open during the night but closing by the morning. Pollination is by evening- or night-flying insects.\n\nThe Wavy-leafed Soap Plant grows on rock bluffs, grasslands, chaparral, and in the more open woodlands.\n\nThree varieties are recognised:\n\n    * Chlorogalum pomeridianum var. divaricatum, endemic to some coastal regions of California (the Central Coast and southern parts of the North Coast), and only found at elevations below about 100 metres.\n    * C. p. var. minus, found in the inner north and outer south Pacific Coast Ranges of California, and the San Francisco Bay Area. This variety has a less fibrous bulb than the others.\n    * C. p. var. pomeridianum, found throughout the range of the species.\n\nThe juices of the bulb contain saponins that form a lather when mixed with water, and both Native American people and early European settlers used the bulbs as a kind of soap; this is the origin of the plant's name. It was particularly used for washing hair, since it was held to be effective against dandruff. Extracts of the bulbs could also be used as a sealant or glue.\n\nThe young leaves can be used as food, but the saponins in the bulbs make these poisonous. However saponins are very poorly absorbed by the body and usually pass straight through, and in any case they can be destroyed by thorough cooking. The Miwok people roasted and ate the bulbs as a winter food. Saponins are much more toxic to some other animals than they are to humans. Fish are particularly susceptible, and the bulb juices were used to kill or stun them so they could be caught easily.\n\nThe bulbs also had various medicinal uses, both external (e.g. for making a poultice to be used as an antiseptic, or as a rub in cases of rheumatism) and internal (decoctions were used for a range of purposes, including as a diuretic, as a laxative and against stomach ache). The fibres surrounding the bulb were widely used, bound together, to make small brushes.\n\nThe basionym of the species was Scilla pomeridianum. It has also been known as Loathoe pomeridiana.\n-----------------------------\nYucca glauca, are called soap plant because their roots are especially good for making soap.\n\nNative American tribes in the southwestern United States and Northern Mexico found numerous uses for the yucca, dating back hundreds of years. Several tribes, including the Western Apaches on the Fort Apache Reservation in Arizona, use the plant today. The most co

There are many species of insect eating plants throughout the world. The Venus Flytrap is only one of many. There are sundews which use sticky tentacles to trap prey, Pitcher plants which use a pit fall method to drown prey in a pool of digestive juices, Butterworts are like flypaper, and bladderworts have a unique suction trap that sucks microscopic animals into them. There are many sites covering these plants on the internet, and most people are surprised how easy these plants are to grow. You'll find the link to my site below.

Urushiol-induced contact dermatitis (also Toxicodendron dermatitis and Rhus dermatitis) is the medical name given to allergic rashes produced by urushiol oil contained in various plants. This includes the genus Toxicodendron (including poison-ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac), as well as other plants in the family Anacardiaceae (mango, Rengas tree, Burmese lacquer tree, India marking nut tree, and the shell of the cashew nut), and even unrelated plants such as Ginkgo biloba.\n\nThe American Academy of Dermatology estimates that there are up to 50 million cases of urushiol-induced dermatitis annually in the United States alone, accounting for 10% of all lost-time injuries in the United States Forest Service. Poison-oak is a significant problem in the rural western and southern U.S., while poison-ivy is most rampant in the eastern U.S. Dermatitis from poison sumac is not common, but it heavily impacted construction work on Disney World in Florida.\n\nClick the link to see a picture.
