3rd time trying to keep orchids alive and actually trying this time. I got 3 rescues from the grocery store 2 days ago and just today I finally repotted them with orchid bark. How is there spot I chose and is there any tips I should know?
You might want to rotate them a bit (it looks like the little one in the white pot might be shaded by the bigger orchid). When watering, don't get water in the crown (where all the leaves meet)

Keep in mind that the flower spike may send off new growth from the end of the current spike. If you want to keep it shorter and more manageable, you need to trim the old spike down just above an unused node or completely off at the base.
