Orchid update! 🌸🌱  
Got a pot with sufficient drainage, \& different soil this past week. Super Happy!

Moved to a window with better lighting, and noticed two flowers starting to wilt. Not sure if this is bloom running its course? Again, new to plants but happy to learn! Too much sun? Or water? I’ve been misting her in between waterings (due to a lot of sun)

Thank you to everyone who’s given advice

I’m new with my orchid too. It’s a learning process for me as well.

Yeah, there’s definitely a lot to learn! :)

I highly recommend Miss Orchid Girl on YouTube. She has THOUSANDS of videos from more than a decade of experience growing many different types of orchids. I find her advice incredibly reliable. Definitely check out her Orchid Care For Beginners playlist. Great great great info.
