I acquired this baby orchid in August of 2025. It took some trial and error but I think I found the right watering schedule. And now I have new growth! At first I thought it was a new flower stem, but now I think it’s a new “plant” from one of the original nodes. Should I go ahead and cut it and move it to its own pot? Any advice is appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

I need help! My dad gave me this orchid because he didn't know how to take care of it, I don't know anything about orchids. This is what it looks like.

I’m so happy I was able to get this bloom!! I’m going to be honest, orchids are not my strong suit. 🫠

My Oncidium ‘Twinkle’ orchids are blooming 😊. They have a light vanilla-ish fragrance. The bulbs are really small so I’m surprised they produced flower spikes, but I’m glad it did.

My Oncidium Twinkle is starting to develop brown tips on some of the leaves. The brown tips are not crispy and dry like on a plant that isn’t getting enough humidity. It looks more like water damage and the brown tip feels mushy. I found this on three leaves. Some of the other leaves have some dark coloration (purple-ish?). What’s going on? Out of concern, I cut the affected tips off and dipped the ends in cinnamon. I also wiped all the leaves with a little alcohol on a cotton pad. No signs of insect pests that I can see. Roots seems healthy (I can see them in the clear pot; sorry no pics). Does anyone know what is causing the leaf damage? Thanks for your help

Hi fellow plant lovers 🌱 I’m new to orchids and may be on my way to killing my first one (sos please help 😭). I have a moth orchid that started dropping flowers (probably overwatered the moss). I did a rescue repotting and changed its soil to some wood chips I got at a plant store a while ago (not specific to orchids though). Since then, I’ve lost all the flowers, but the leaves are still healthy. I also see the stem is turning brown as well. What should I do from here to turn things around? Thanks in advance!

Consistently blooms for me at the holidays. A bit set back from a rough repot, but she still gave me 2 little flower spikes. I adore these tiny perfect blooms.

I had posted a few months back that my crazy orchid’s stems sprouted. One is 60” long the other 40”. Well she finally bloomed and I thought I would share. I wonder if she will do this again next time. I got her as a birthday gift from my sister 12 years ago. Of course her flowers were dyed blue a let down cuz I was expecting the same colored blooms every time. She was my first.
