Soooooo… DEAD OR ALIVE? I got this beauty a few months ago and she isn’t doing too good. I forget what type of orchid she is but she has fine roots. She had reddish and yellow flowers. I love her. Please help me save her. I didn’t water her enough and I don’t think her current pot is ventilated enough. I will do anything to help her! 😭😭😭 if she is able to be saved please tell me how!!! Also if you can tell what kind she is please do tell me. Edit: I remember I wanted to get a oncidium sharry baby but the ones they had were too expensive. So it is either of the ones in the screen shots I put in the comments.

Found this article on how to get orchids to bloom thought it was interesting. They said that they need cooler temperatures to stimulate spike growth and flowering, idk if anyone has heard of that?

Hi all. I’ve noticed some very tiny black dots that form a mottled pattern on the pseudobulbs of my oncostele wildcat “yellow king.” There’s also wrinkling. I’m not sure if this is new but does anyone have any insight? TIA!

Help experts! I was gifted this orchid last spring and it stayed healthy for a long time. I did quite a bit of reading about them but it kinda went in and out of my brain with some outside stressors. We almost threw this little baby out but I just couldn’t! Tonight I was in my kitchen and noticed these buds!! Help me figure out what to do next to help bring “Fallon” back to her natural beauty!

Looking for opinions:) I’m so excited I have my first flower spike! It’s growing towards the window… ***Should I turn the pot around so the flower spike has more room to grow away from the window? ***Or will that stun/shock the plant and stop the flower spike from growing?

Embarrassing but I need help identifying this plant. Plant apps have said she’s a cymbidium but I got her from someone at a show whose English was not so great who said she is a paphiopedilum. I went to repot her and her roots look nothing like my other paphs so I’m confused. Any help is welcome as I want to care for but not sure what she is!

I got this plant a year ago August and it’s just had its second set of blooms!! (It was in bloom when I got it) Should I cut the stalk after the blooms die? Thanks!

RIP Orchid I’m quite aware that I have killed it. I moved it to a different window, went on holiday and came back to it dead. I’ve carried on watering it and 1 of the leaves has got better. My question is: 1. Is it beyond saving? Should I throw it out and buy another 2. If it’s possible to save it should I cut off the dead leaves and stalk? Is it possible for it to grow a new stalk?
