# I post already this on "Anything about plants" but no help so far…

_Posted by Stephanie on 2025-04-12_

I post already this on "Anything about plants" but no help so far then I saw the "Orchid Oasis". I was at a estate sale today and got these little orchids for $1.25 and to be honest orchids scare me but at this price I decided to take a chance. I know nothing about orchids so I really need your help. They are in good chunky orchid soil and look good to me but I may be wrong. They gave me some orchids food too but I would truly appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks

I’ve never had an orchid before, but I know that the brand “We The Wild” an orchid care kit you can buy online! They may also have resources on their website :) good luck!!

The leaves look pretty healthy to me! All looks good except the pots may be too big for the root ball, the plants seem quite small on their own. Maybe repot in something smaller \& clear after they've acclimated to your house a little:) Water when roots look silvery white. I recently got my first orchid, so that's about all I know about their care!😄

Thanks. The small one is planted in the pot you see but the big one is in a plastic pot but it's stuck and I will have to try to get it out some way

Got the big one out of the pot and this is what I saw!! Now what should I do?

Water and see if any turn green. Wait a few days. Overall the orchid looks good.
