Tiny red ants seemed to have infested my orchid. Since this is one of the orchids that has bloomed twice this year, I felt I owed it some pest control. When I Googled how to control the ants, I also learned that some ants are actually helpful to orchids. Maybe the ants helped it bloom??
Is your orchid outside? I immediately wanted to chuck my two orchids in case the ants were in the house! Although one of them has never bloomed and I’ve had it three years so maybe the ants aren’t a concern . . .
