Hello! New to plants entirely, zero clue what I’m doing. I recently repotted it a few months ago and I think it’s doing well? But looking at everyone else’s posts, she looks… different. I’m not finding anyone who has orchids with leaves are so long or tall. I’m not sure the breed or orchid, so there’s that. Just purchased from the grocery when she was blooming 7-9 months ago. Does she look ok? Or should I be worried? Thanks in advance!
My orchid has leaves that are that long and I have never seen an orchid have that many leaves and look that tall. Don’t worry it is perfectly healthy, the problem with orchids is that it takes them forever to give signs about something wrong is happening.

Orchid growth can vary widely depending on species. It looks healthy. Most grocery store orchids will be Phalaenopsis sp

looks super healthy! if those flower spikes aren’t actively sending out new buds I would cut them off at the base. with the right growing conditions this will promote more blooms on the next spike

Don’t worry. You’re doing great. Your orchid is more than likely a phalaenopsis orchid AKA moth orchid, and it looks very healthy. It’s in a vegetative state/resting stage where it’s focusing on growing new leaves and roots.

Here is some advice I just posted for someone else, it would take too long to rewrite it, and I could not copy it. It looks like everything your doing is okay, and your orchid look healthy. Do not freat.
*Frett. Blooming autocorrect! (Sorry for the plant pun).
