Hello lovelies! Help please! When I was watering my plants today, I accidentally knocked off this keiki paste clone mini orchid that has been growing. It has the tiniest root but definitely wouldn’t have come off on its own yet. Any suggestions on how to help it survive? So you think I can just lay it in the moss/orchid bark base of my mature orchid? (I haven’t even been able to get an orchid to rebloom, so I was super excited when it started growing the clone plant). 🤞 🪴
Hi, what’s your thoughts on coffee ground watering or rice water watering for my orchid? In my old house I’d feed with rice water or coffee water now and again and I noticed a positive difference.
Im wondering if I should trim the stem of my orchid after all the flowers fall off. They all fell off weeks ago except for this one and there’s two buds i see growing in a bit lower should I cut off the higher end of the stem? And the one remaining flower started to look upwards and I’m not sure why.
I recently got a paleness from the store it’s in perfect condition, how do I take care of it
Rescued this poor baby from the trash at my work. It’s looking much better, but was wondering if I need to trim the stems all the way down, or do I keep tending to it and hoping it will eventually bloom again? Before and after pics attached- the grey container is before, rest are current.
Any advice?
Orchids were the plants that first got me into the wonderful world of houseplants! I only have two right now but they are doing very well!
My previous cymbidium did not survive my cross-country move, so I bought a cymbidium sinense (hong cao hong he) to replace it. I would love tips! It’s currently in a mix of coco chip and LECA with a moss cover. As you can see, it has a little humidifier right next to it.
Hi, all!! Just introducing myself and showing off my orchid collection🤍 not pictured is my black and purple lady slipper (my goth queen) which will be fully open in the next day or two. All of my orchids are opening new blooms and this is my first year caring for them. So exciting to watch them grow!
How do you care for an orchid? And how do you know when to water it?
The first tiny but scented bloom this year on this plant!
FIRST TIME EVER seeing this crazy Cattleya in bloom. I discovered and patiently (not so patiently) watched the bizarre little alien pod looking buds begin to form for the past month. I got it as a seedling 3 years ago, and worried I set it back last year when I repotted. The roots have almost filled up the giant pot I have it in. It’s growing about SIX new pseudobulbs, and it’s clearly mature enough to bloom so I’m hoping the future brings multiple flower spikes at the same time with all those new growths. Such an interesting orchid. 😍
I got an orchid however I have killed many any tips
Desperate times require desperate measures. I’ve seen this recommended. Does anyone have any advice?
My sequential bloomer is blooming bisequentially! I didn’t know they did that. Big phraggy and little phraggy sharing a spike.
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!
