Neuropathy (Nerve Damage). Nerve damage from diabetes is called diabetic neuropathy (new-ROP-uh-thee). About half of all people with diabetes have some form of nerve damage. It is more common in those who have had the disease for a number of years and can lead to many kinds of problems. If you keep your blood glucose levels on target, you may help prevent or delay nerve damage. If you already have nerve damage, this will help prevent or delay further damage.
Since other orchid varieties will not bloom again from the same flower spike, you can cut their spikes back to the base of plants after flowers fall.
Once in bloom, orchid flowers can last for weeks. With the right care, you can get your orchid plant to bloom each year and enjoy those pretty flowers. 1. Identify the orchid. Use the plant tag or look up the orchid online or in a reference book. Different orchard species need different care to bloom.
