Just super impatient over here, waiting for my buds to open. Thought sharing might help pass the time- plus it’s kind of interesting to see how different types of orchid spikes develop.

I definitely feel you, waiting for blooms is like waiting for paint to dry

At least your making progress .. I had orchids and because I live so high up it’s either cold in my house or summer time is beyond hot .. I wanna try again and put them in my bathroom but idk if that’ll work

Don’t give up. You just need to find the right type of orchid that will do well in your growing space.

They take forever!!!! I get all excited thinking ‘any minute now’ and it takes another two weeks for the first to finally crack open a bit 🤦🏻‍♀️
