Hello everyone. I have a sad Orchid that I’m going to try to save. I was going to attempt Leca as the potting medium. Anyone have experience with these, or advice to save my Orchid? The roots appear pretty much gone from the pot, but haven’t pulled it totally out.
So I live in the nepa and when the smoke from the Canada fires covered the area I live for 2 days my orchid started to wilt I lost 1 flower already. I’ve been following the care instructions to a T and don’t know what’s wrong. The only thing that comes to mind is the air quality being over 500 for 2 days, could that have possibly affected my flower.
Picked up this beauty at my local home improvement store. The phot doesn’t do it justice. Lemon yellow with blood red throat. 💜💜💜
Any suggestions for this Vanda Miss Joaquim? She’s not looking right. She gets at least 6hrs direct sunlight, and I dip her water every other day
Orchid bloom this year!
My orchid isn’t blooming and hasn’t for over a month. Could she be over heated? Should I bring her inside?
I’m new to orchids. I haven’t had my miniature orchid for long. It used to have many buds and flowers but now it looks like just a stick with pretty, long leaves. If you have any tips or tricks please comment. Thank you!🤗🤗🤗 Edit: I live in Florida. Could it be overheated?
hi all! i’m pretty new to orchids and trying to revive this that got super dehydrated when my coworker was out suddenly for a few months. since i repotted a few months ago there’s a new leaf and some new baby roots that were coming in but they seem to have stopped growing. any idea what’s going on or how i can help it? i did treat with hydrogen peroxide for possible crown rot after the baby roots died. (added a pic at the end from when i started the rescue attempt so you can see the progress so far.) any advice would be much appreciated!
my orchid table :)
Hello! About a two months ago I reported my orchid and it fell out of its pit and lost all of its leaves, ever since it has had zero growth and I don’t know how to encourage growth, any tips?
I got my orchid around march 1st this year and it has been looking great. I just would like some tips and tricks if y’all have some, thanks! (Yes I know that my picture isn’t great).
Hi everyone! I was super excited to get this orchid but the leave are dropping. Is this normal? Is it going dormant? And I doing something wrong?
I’ve seen a lot of posts asking about watering orchids. Which got me curious - how do you water your orchids? What’s your method? How often? What are the triggers to water? What kind of water? Any suggestions for people wanting or just starting to dip their toes into the waters of orchid tending?
I am new to the plant life and have an abundance of new plants due to the unfortunate circumstance of two funerals of my close family members within a couple of weeks. I want to honor my loved ones by keeping every plant I received alive and thriving. The orchid is the one that gives me the most worry probably because of the stigma that orchids are particularly fussy. Will someone just look at this orchid and tell me why the rest of the buds won’t open after being in my home a month. I went a little aggressive and put him outside the past 2 sunny days so hoping I didn’t do any lasting damage. I was just impatient and wanting these buds to to flower. These are his normal conditions and I move him exposure to grow light x couple of hours per day. Also just watered today because of the excessive sun exposure
Has anyone tried growing from seed/propagation? I’m thinking of trying and wanted to know if anyone has had any success and could offer some advise…
Just got this beauty yesterday! Flower is the size of my hand! The pedals shimmer in the sunlight. So gorgeous! Orchids are just the most elegant plants! So blessed to experience their beauty and care for them.
Just got them from an estate sale any tips or anything I need to do besides regular care (wasn’t sure if I need to prune anything) I’m new to orchids.
This is my first orchid. When I got this plant the roots were on top of the pot similar to this. I didn’t know that they were roots, I thought it was decoration. Should the roots be exposed like that or should they be in the pot?
Love eating breakfast with this beauty to stare at!
I found this baby beaming back at me this morning. What a wonderful way to start the day.
