Best photo I have of it right now. Will it survive? I rescued it from Walmart- they don’t water any of the succulents (at least at my Walmart, overheard a garden center worker tell another they don’t water them at all). I gave it new bark and trimmed the dead roots. I knew the plastic clear pot came out of the decorative one but after a few weeks, I tried to go water it again and pull out the clear pot from decorative one but it wouldn’t come out. I felt confused but figured, “hmm, maybe it never did coke out?” So a week goes by, I decided to check it again. The pot came out and I felt dumb. Anyway, there was even more root rot ofc so I just trimmed all the dead ones off. There’s only three roots left and they’re all really short (like 1-2”). I decided after that, I’d make it a water culture orchid. The leaves when I bought her back in late April, and even to now, they’re dark green with like greenish black spots over the leaves (worse in person than what photo shows). Makes me wonder if the leaves are dying off too?

So what do I do with all the extra rePotme orchid pots 🤔 I only needed one and it was the biggest one so there's not a size up to hold on to but will it work for other plans? Since it has slits on the sides 🤷‍♀️

Super excited for this because it’s going to also house one or two of my orchids! The part the comes up will house one. And I’m considering a piece across the top for a mini

I can’t believe all of these blooms! She was completely bare just two months ago.

I spotted some dendrobiums at Lowe’s this afternoon and was curious if there was a major difference between their care and phals. I didn’t purchase one but wanted to learn more before bringing another plant home lol. Most of my collection is phals but I have one lady slipper and one cattleya, which are both doing well. Also, I was shocked to see the wide variety of orchids at Lowe’s: they even had some loose cattleyas and other varieties that I haven’t seen outside of an orchid show.

I have a few orchids that unfortunately I have not been taking care of them properly but would like to revive them if possible. I normally keep them inside in the living room window but since it’s summer here I took them outside to get some sun. Do they have a chance to be revived? I currently have them soaking in water for 20 mins

New bloom! Spicy-ish scent??? It smells like something, though I’m not sure what

My orchid is blooming! Just excited to share! ☺️

My latest Tolumnia. Got it from Hausermann's several months ago. I love these little orchids! 💜

The last blooms fell of my Valentine’s Day gift a couple days ago and I got around to repotting this morning. I could see a few dead roots in the nursery pot so I was excited to trim them off. I was not expecting this much root in a tiny 4 inch pot, and didn’t know he had a cage. No one outs Baba Voss in a cage!! Here are 3 or my 4 Orchid babies 😍😍

Sad days ahead I’m afraid… Despite my best efforts and all my gathered knowledge… this set of rescues just are not responding to treatments. I’m afraid the root rot was too severe by the time they found me… I’m still going to tend and care for them until they tell me they are done, just feeling let down and like a failure with this set…. (This group of sick babies were cast off by family members to a deceased resident I cared for, I’m wondering if they are sad and miss her and giving up… a bit of a bittersweet thought)

I can’t get this thing to bloom again. It’s been over a year. Nothing. I trimmed it. Fertilized. Nothing. Thoughts?

I got this baby orchid a couple weeks ago and she came like this. I gave her orchid food and a grow light and nothing to seems to be working. She’s already lost 2 flowers. Any ideas???

OooKay so I took y'all's advice the other day and I bought the rePotme clear orchid pots , and this bark mix from them as well, and I watched the miss working girl beginner video on how to transplant one of these orchids................................ And then I read the comment section of the video and it seems like 90% of the people who took out the moss whilst the plant was in bloom, lost the blooms or maybe they only lasted for a month or two... So it spooked me 😩 cuz she seems happy although I haven't looked at her root yet, so I'm going to put her in the clear orchid pot and then I guess put her back in the decorative pot I guess I have some questions still like can I keep the little roots that are sticking out what's all that I can tell when it needs to be watered it makes a lot easier LOL at least can I keep one or it's just better to lift it out and look, I wanted to find out what everybody else's experiences were if they transplanted while in bloom? I almost want to just keep it in the Moss and just be cool with it like you said watch The Roots it was pretty cool the roof basically sort of transformed to Green in front of my eyes LOLI know we're supposed to repot in the Spring, but what if I waited till the blooming. Was over and transplanted it then anyways...🙄 That way if it goes into some type of shock at least the blooms won't be affected because they'll be gone and it will be a dormant anyways right? Or do they go dormant if you have indoors in humidity and heat during the Spring? Or do they like to feeling a cold room for the winter? 🙏💕

Finally bloomed after 2 months of working on the bud, and has a light citrus scent :)

Hey All, I just came into possession of an orchid in not great health. It has no leaves and small roots, but they seem health and the stem is strong. It was in dirt which didn't help and had rot that has been treated. I have put it in water but I'm not sure what to do now and if it can even come back from this. Thanks everyone!

I hope I can get a clarification. I use the app to remind me to water/feed my plants. I have three moth orchids The app indicates that one should be watered every 9 days, the second every 11 days, and the third every 15 days. I do not know why there is such a difference. So, how often should I water the plants?
