Hello I’ve never had a orchid before and it’s a dream plant this is my first one and I want to care for her right and have more please any advice to keep her happy let me know. I just got her today as a v day present and her roots already look off
You guys! I’m so excited! My orchid is going to have some blooms!!!
You guys! This little sweetheart put out 2 spikes for me this year, with about 20 buds total! I’ve been waiting weeeeeeeeks for the first ones to open.
My cymbidium sinense is going to bloom!!!
I won this orchid at a raffle but it didn’t have a tag on what type of orchid it is. I’ve seen these for sale at grocery stores near me. I think it’s some type of Oncidium. Can someone please tell me what kind of orchid it is and what growing conditions it needs?
My son bought me this thinking it was a real color🥹💙
Hi everyone. Do I need to mist my orchid in between waterings? Thanks - Ann
Can someone please help me rescue this orchid!
anyone else jus growing their orchids in straight water? mine have been in water for 6 months and haven’t stopped putting on blooms! is this normal?
Can someone help me please. My orchid not only bloomed beautiful purple flowers again for the first time, but another spike grew on the other side and is also blooming. The problem is that today the spike with the flowers broke in half and i’m not sure what to do with it. All of the flowers are still attached to the broken spike. What can i do with it? Will they die? I hope not 😒. Is it ok to put the broken spike in water for now until roots coms out or should I plant it in a pot? I think the flowers got to heavy for the long spoke. You can actually see on the third picture where it broke. This makes me sad, because I really took extra care to see it bloom again and now this. Please help. I thank you in advance.
My Bella was doing great but all of a sudden she is dying I believe. I don’t think I’m under or overwatering. Any suggestions?
Hi, does anyone recognise this problem. I water weekly, let it sit in water for 15 minutes then I tip it out as pot doesn’t have any drainage holes. Admittedly the plants probably don’t like to be tipped upside down unless I repot which I’m reluctant to do. Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.
Hi friends. Do these leaves look yellow to you? I’m wondering if the cymbidiums need fertilizer or getting too much light. They’re under grow lights right now but I plan to take them outside when the weather starts to warm more. Bulbs are firm. They are not blooming this year because they are still recovering from very bad root rot last year (from being left outside in the cold winter rain).
Hello! I need help in regards to my orchids, I have two phalaenopsis orchids, a mini one and a big one, I’ve had orchid troubles in the past and this time I’m fully determined to at least get one of them to bloom again. It’s my first time with a mini orchid and it finished flowering but I’ve had trouble with watering both, I switched to orchid bark and I’ve noticed some of the roots shriveling up quicker than I am used to, I last watered my mini orchid 3 days ago and checked today and noticed a few shriveled up roots I added some spagnum moss with my bark in hopes to keep my roots hydrated without overwatering I also placed it over a pebble bowl with water for humidity 😭 I don’t know what else to do is there anything I am missing?
Anyone have a reed orchid to show? I’m so excited for the future of my new one! Just a wee baby right now who just went through shipping with questionable packaging but she has big hopes and dreams ✨
Is this what I think it is??? Is my baby finally starting to grow a spike?? I just want to confirm before I start celebrating too early!
Second blooming for this lovely orchid. Last year it only had 2 blooms, this year I got 4. She’s thirsty and sort of sprawling in her growth pattern, so she’ll need a repot shortly.
We’re almost at full bloom!
My plants are brown, one is growing a new shoot and I give them fertilizer, is there any tips to help them bloom?
Look at my little orchid! I have had her for a year and this is her 3rd set of blooms! I started growing her hydroponically a month ago. Do you have any tips for growing an orchid hydroponically?
