Enanthleya Jackie Bright āHilo Starsā A fun hybrid thatās a reliable bloomer. Flowers start out as a greenish-yellow, fading to mustard. And it is a vigorous root producer.

My poor mini orchid got a ton of mealy bugs while I was away and itās flowers all died, any tips to encourage them to grow back? I got rid of the mealy bug problem but Iām sad the flowers died off.

Iāve had this orchid for two years now and itās making more of something. Roots or stems, can you help me? How should I help them?

How would I go about attaching my orchids to a piece of wood? Also could I put multiple on the same piece of wood, if so, how many? Could they be different kinds of orchids?

I have a serious question. Are there carnivorous orchids? If not, hear me out, I was at my local orchid shop, and I saw an orchid that looked like a pitcher plant. I didnāt see any of the workers around so I just kept to myself. But I really wondered, is it carnivorous? When I looked into the flower (pitcher) there was a fluid but no insects. Is it an omnivorous, carnivorous, or deceptive?

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

I know they arenāt orchids, but content in the group has been rather slow anywayā¦ look at the cartoon plants my kids got me for Motherās Day! š

So my mother in law has a noble dendrobium that needs repottingā¦ is there anything I should know? Iāve 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 Motherās Day ā I know itās 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 Iāve shown in the last photo. Iād prefer to switch this one over ASAP but donāt want to shock it and lose flowers. Also it is actually cracking through the bottom of this current pot š What are everyoneās thoughts? (I included the two sizes of pot that I thought would be most appropriate but donāt know whether to keep it somewhat cramped or give it more room) Thanks!

Dendrobium nobile āSpring Snowā 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!
Becca
A friend of mine was throwing out her orchid after all the flowers fell off. I couldnāt 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!
Ada
Anybody have experience/tips for growing orchids outside in S Georgia?
Kelly
Are these flower stems or roots growing?

Hello! š Does anyone know how to propagate a moth orchid?
EmJabs
Ok so whatās the deal with this stem? Itās 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 donāt know much about out orchids. I got this one dormant. Appreciate any advice!!
Rebekah
