Hey guys! I thought my orchid was going to bloom after two years of having it but a week after I saw these buds, they disappeared and the branch just got longer. Any advice on how to help this guy out? I’m tempted to cut back the tall stem with no branch. There are a few new roots/stems that are growing so this guy seems happy, but I’m just a little worried since the main leaves are droopy but they are kinda old so it may just be their time to go. I know this guy looks kinda crazy but it’s bc I took its poles out and let him run free. Also i know the roots are silvery right now so I just water it!

This was my first orchid and she was thriving until winter time came and she shed all her buds and started getting floppy. I’ve been trying for months to get it healthy again but no luck. I need an experienced Orchid parent’s advice — is she save-able or should I move her to the graveyard 😭 ?

Rhynchobrassoleya Copper Queen Such an interesting flower. Comes out a rusty magenta that fade to a mustard yellow. And I love that ruffle lip

Hi! I recently got this orchid and watered it a week ago. One side is doing super well but the other side is starting to wilt so I put it under a grow light. Does anyone have any advice for why it may be wilting? And if the grow light set-up is okay? - only a few flowers are wilting but I’m afraid that all of them will wilt and fall off

Epicattleya Comet x Rose Valley Pulled this one from the half price plant cemetery. Died back to a single cane and then BAM! two years later a lovely bouquet. Yay!

Advice: Pot Oncidium seedling? I purchased this #Oncidium Jiaho Queen (AM yellow & black) seedling a couple of months ago. She looks ready to go into her “next stage” pot but wanted to check with my #orchids folks. It’s my first Oncidium so not sure on getting her roots fully in media or leaving them out? How much big/bigger of a pot. Is plastic with side holes ok or keep her in terracotta?

Hello all, I got her a month ago. Is there anything I need to do now after the blooms dry?

I’ve had this orchid for two years now and it’s bloomed only twice but has grown a lot of leaves- what can I do to get a true bloom again and is growing these leaves typical ?

I got my first paph orchid! I would appreciate any care tips, I’ve only had phalaenopsis so far

Hi! I found this orchid it’s only the leaves and some roots I’m hoping I can save it but I’m just not quite sure what to do. Some tips would be greatly appreciated 🥰

Just gifted a new orchid! Told it blooms orange and red.

Hi guys, so this is my orchid! One of the branches flowered around a month ago, now this branch is flowering. Once this branch has flowered, how should I best care for this? I have had this for 2 years, and this is its second time flowering. I cut the branches back last time after flowering - should I do the same again?

Finally bloomed! They have a coconut fragrance 😋

They opened!!! They are a little more white vs yellow to the naked eye. So worth the wait- highly recommend upping the light for these cattleya types. I am in love with that purple lip, and am finally detecting a bit of a night time/early morning scent!

Hello, I am a newly plant mom. I’ve had my orchid since Valentines days. Just trying to keep her strong and going named her Indie. Brought her to my job where others can admire her. Here’s a before and after picture of her

Slowly but surely, Paphiopedilum Maudiae (thank you to Planta member that told me what kind of orchid she is) is pushing out her first flower since I purchased it 3 years ago. Trying to be patient, but I am so excited!

Just bought this orchid earlier today. Should I repot it because it’s outgrowing its pot? It looks to be expanding the pot a little bit due to the amount of roots. I don’t really know how I would repot it though, because it’s two different orchids in one.

I have had a small orchid for a while, and it's extremely healthy with great leaves and I've tried everything, but anytime a flower stalk shows up it dies. How can I get it to fully bloom?
