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
We have cast-off! ...this is Dexter
All three blooms fully open. 🥰
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?
My Paphiopedilum delenatii’s flower spike looks like something Ellen Ripley would launch out of an airlock into the cold void of space 💚 (photographed in my light box)
I’m wondering if I need to do more for my orchid. I trimmed her down right above a node after all her blooms fell off. She has a new leaf but I’m concerned because the stalk doesn’t seem to be growing. Any tips here?
Hello, my orchid appears ok but how do I help it reflower. I received this orchid last year for Easter. Wondering if I now just have a bunch of leaves?? I have not fertilized it yet and it is a cool backroom with plenty of sun.
I am brand new to plants. I have 5 orchids and 2 are not doing well. All are in the bathroom with humidity and a full spectrum grow light. Any advice would be greatly appreciated for these two. And any tips for the others that are doing very well.
2nd plant bloom of hardy ground orchid! While i think it's beautiful, I purchased a variety of 3! 9months later and 2 have bloomed and neither were the color as advised they would be and they are the same 😕 be careful ordering from Brecks! 😩
