What’s wrong with my orchid? It only has two blooms and one looks like it’s dying. The other stem without blooms was also severely wilted and looked dead. I only water it according to the recommended schedule on planta.

I have this large orchid that seems to be in good health, but one of the leaves is slowly turning yellow and shriveling: what should I do? Should I leave it to do its own thing or pluck it off?

I had to perform a little surgery on this moth orchid about a week ago and she was doing okay. Her roots were extremely damaged and I ended up cutting a few off and just chopped the flower stem down, then repotted her into a bigger pot with proper orchid mix. I took her down from my shelf just now and noticed this leaf, there also seems to be a tiny fly hanging around her (gnat?) This is my first time properly caring for plants and I would love any insight! Thank you so much :)

I have this orchid I was given as a gift about 3 years ago and I’ve neglected it I guess you could say but I want to change that!! I love orchids and want to get several more. First anyone able to tell which breed this is off the leaves and is this a good time to repot it? Any and all suggestions welcome! Also I’d love to take in orchids to my office but I have no windows. Would I be able to have one in the office with a grow light? If not- any suggestions for plants that do well under a grow light? Preferably something that blooms. And - when do orchids typically bloom and when are they dormant? TIA! 🌺🌱☺️

Hey! so im pretty new to orchids and i bought one since i knew they were low maintenance ish and this is her.. i noticed before i repotted her that some roots were brownish and the reason i did repot was her roots were up out of the soil. is there anything im doing wrong or any suggestions to make sure she thrives, shes 2ft and has a 1ft pot in diameter with orchid potting soil. any suggestions would be really helpful and appropriate - also is she a moth orchid?

Brand new to orchids and I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. My plant was flowering and doing okay, but then I went away for about 5 days and when I came back pretty much all of the flowers had fallen off. Does anyone have ideas about what happened and what I should do? Can I still save it?

Why is the under side of my moth orchid sticky? Sorry the angle is hard to get.

HUGE Gratitude to those who suggested repotting my orchid! As you can see in photo #3, she is SO MUCH HAPPIER than she was a month ago! Thanks so much, orchid friends! My poor girl could use some help! I have had her for 5.5 years (most of it knowing NOTHING about plants) and she’s been incredibly hearty. After this last glorious bloom (which brought flowers that were green & purple instead of white & purple like they had always been before), her leaves which had been plump and shiny look like they have dehydrated even though I haven’t changed the watering schedule. Is it the end? HELP!

need a [lot] of orchid help here. had the bright idea to move my orchid from bark to water (after the blooms fell and i saw what i think are fungus gnats). immediately in the water, the bottom leaves turned yellow and i realized it need to transition. i’ve been doing water on and off but when it sits in water, it gets a little moldy so i clean with peroxide mixture and dry. leaves haven’t turned yellow in abt two weeks but should i just go back to bark/or let this one go? sharing roots dry and then in water. (there weren’t many bc of that little sponge thing nurseries use) any help appreciated. thanks!

Hi! I got this orchid 3 years ago. Despite following on suggestions, it does not grow new spikes. It does get new leaves in a regular basis. Any suggestions? Thanks!
