Does anyone think this may be some sort of disease, virus, or anything? I feel like the spotting has spread, but that may be paranoia

Hi there! I’ve had this orchid for years and after the last spike died, I have not been able to get it to grow another one. Just repotted this one about 3 months ago. I have 3 other orchids that are thriving so I’m not sure what’s up with this one. Any tips?

I may be going crazy, but did I just find a tiny snail on one of my orchids… I have no words. It’s one of the recent arrivals, may be quarantine time now, I’ve never seen this before

Hi Everyone, I discovered one of my orchids has tons of root rot that I had to cut off. Has maybe one or two tiny ok roots. How do I save it? #needhelp Thanks in advance. Norah

I was wondering why my phalaenopsis orchid stems at the top were turning yellow, Delilah (my orchid) flowered a long time ago and really large new leaves began to start growing on the stems a few moths prior. Then I though she was re-flowering but then her stems went yellowish. I cut them back but the yellowness kept spreading, and I am not sure if it is a result of root rot but I cannot find that as one of the listed symptoms. I really have no idea what is going on and at the moment I hardly have enough time to do anything (the joys of stress) so if there is a really quick easy fix that will be so helpful. Thank you.

Im new to orchids this is my first one and I’m Not sure how to take care of it yet. There’s some withering flowers and I don’t know if I should cut them or let them fall off on their own.

Fairly new to orchids. I have my first basal keiki. It's as big as the mother plant with atleast 5 roots. Mother plant has a terminal spike but shows no signs of dying. Infact all of her flower stems are still green. Do I remove the keiki, or just let it be? The root system is very strong and the plant as a whole is very healthy.

Hi everyone, new to the app and group. I noticed one leaf on my orchid looking a little bumpy and difference in colour. I’ve had this orchid for about 2 years now and she’s on her 2nd round of flowering since I’ve had her. Do I need to be concerned about this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Any experts on vanilla orchids in here? It's been on my wishlist since FOREVER and finally got my hands on her today. Here's a photo. I'm very excited and put it right up to my humidifier, removed any yellowing or dying leaves, and misted as soon as I got home. Was a little neglected with dry potting mix. I ask because I hear they can be quite difficult, and want to know if there are any tips or things you do in your care regimine. Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I have a dendrobium with a bacterial infection. I removed the badly impacted leaves and sprayed the plant with hydrogen peroxide to prevent secondary fungal infections. Does anyone have advice on how to treat the bacterial infection itself? Thanks in advance!
