Hello so I’m kind of new to plants especially orchids. I’ve transferred my orchids to water. As I was looking at them last night I seen this one has a little “nub” does this mean I’m gonna have a bloom on it?! Or is that a root?

I’m thinking about getting a lighting jewel orchid. Can y’all tell me how to water it and any tips and tricks y’all have learned?

I know they aren’t orchids, but content in the group has been rather slow anyway… look at the cartoon plants my kids got me for Mother’s Day! 😍

So my mother in law has a noble dendrobium that needs repotting… is there anything I should know? I’ve only got experience with phalaenopsis orchids. Are they similar in the medium that they need? Help!!
Mae
got a new plant the other day, her blooms are just gorgeous !

Hello orchid people! I just got this beauty for Mother’s Day — I know it’s usually a no no to repot while it still has blooms but it seems quite sad and cramped in this pot. My other orchid is thriving in the same kind of airy pot that I’ve shown in the last photo. I’d prefer to switch this one over ASAP but don’t want to shock it and lose flowers. Also it is actually cracking through the bottom of this current pot 😂 What are everyone’s thoughts? (I included the two sizes of pot that I thought would be most appropriate but don’t know whether to keep it somewhat cramped or give it more room) Thanks!

Dendrobium nobile “Spring Snow” Surprisingly big flowers with a slight floral and Lemon Pledge scent. And a bit of a surprise. I thought I had screwed up the rest period again. Hooray for hybrids!

A friend of mine was throwing out her orchid after all the flowers fell off. I couldn’t let it be thrown out so I took it and did that thing where they tell you to cut the flower stem 3 nodes up. Well look who just bloomed!

Anybody have experience/tips for growing orchids outside in S Georgia?

Are these flower stems or roots growing?

Hello! 👋 Does anyone know how to propagate a moth orchid?
EmJabs
Ok so what’s the deal with this stem? It’s turning brown/yellowish at the top. Leaves are green and look healthy. Backstory: this was growing a shoot and it fell and broke off (the worst) it has another shoot coming from a node that stopped growing. I think I need to trim it but don’t know much about out orchids. I got this one dormant. Appreciate any advice!!

Hello all! My husband recently bought a dendrobium orchid for me and I’ve never had one before! We just noticed it had these dark spots on the stem and have no idea what they are. Google says black rot? Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated! It sits at a southeast facing window and we have a humidifier on that shelf.

is my orchid ok? about 6 blooms have started dying off in the last few days but i don't think ive over watered it

Please help! Is my orchid rotting?! We bought it in February it was beautiful full of flowers leaves and they repotted it for us. It’s lost almost all its flowers and now only one leaf. This window gets a good amount of light and we’ve tried adjusting the watering schedule. When the leaves fall off they look perfectly healthy :(

I’m not sure where or if I should cut my healthy green blossom stems after they’ve finished blooming? Any cutting tips out there?

The woes of orchid rescue, amiright friends? 😂 My phal has some roots, but not as many as I’d like and instead seems to want to grow leaves. How do I encourage it to grow roots instead. It’s in orchid bark with a leca drainage layer and a fluffy moist spagnum top dressing, and a clear orchid pot. It’s kept under a decent grow light and roots are green one is kind of yellow most of the time they don’t get too silvery I think the bark may be retaining too much moisture for my environment but surely that’s no reason for it not to grow roots right? More info: fertilized foliar-ly bi-weekly with gublers pro, and the temp is kept 60-75f.

A friend had a bunch of uncared for orchids that I offered to take a try to rehabilitate. Any advice for what to do with this on? I don’t know what these spots are! They were all taken out of severely drenched potting materials and given a good root trim yesterday and I’ve quarantined them from my others. Would love some advice from more experienced orchid growers! Thanks!
