So I have three orchids I got my larger ones at the same time and care for them the same however one of them lost all of its flowers and the leaves are browning my other one is flowering and holding up very well. What am I doing wrong here
Rhynchobrassoleya Copper Queen Woo hoo! Wasn’t expecting it to bloom this year. No scent but who need it with a lip like that
Just noticed my orchids one leaf is very yellow with some wilting flowers? Planta said it might need more light. The top feels almost soggy while the bottom of the pot seems much dryer from what I can tell trying to stick my fingers in it…… is she dying? Help Please!
Is my orchid ok? The flowers have died and the stem has been turning brown. Also, there is new green stem that has been growing, what does it suggest?
So I have my orchid living in water and it’s been thriving but all of the sudden some stems are dying. I giving it orchid food and the right amount of sunlight. What do I do???
Brassolaelia Richard Mueller x Cattleya Triumphans I love this plant. I got it from a box store. It was piled with a ton of other orchids on a dark shelf. I bought it expecting absolutely nothing. It blooms multiple times a year. The flowers are large and a lovely yellow orange with an orange magenta spotted lip.
And this beautiful Phalenopsis “Miki Freckle” Received last September. It was also by mail and had a hard trip. But worked our way back.
Angraecum didieri Purchased last July by mail.
my orchid is done flowering, how far down should i cut the shoot? thank you!
I am growing this orchid hydroponically and had to snip this guy because the section above it was squishy. Is there any way to prop this? It looks healthy!
just spent an hour outside with an orchid my mom had neglected for a minute. it was entirely root bound with tons of root rot and covered in ants so i completely got rid of the roots trimmed the stems and repotted it in a sphagnum perlite mix. i also made sure to spray it w hydrogen peroxide. i adopted the orchid cuz i felt bad so any tips for care and making sure it thrives? this is my first orchid
Repotted this lady in my new orchid pot. I used chunky bark, but I’m still getting a lot of dirt spillage. Any tips?
Hi there! I noticed that my orchid leaves have begun looking like this. Does anyone know what this could be/the cause?
Hi! I’ve had this scented dendrobium orchid for about 5 months and it was doing well and now I’m unsure how to give it consistency and get the leaves to come back. I let it dry out so 2-3weeks between watering. Some leaves are floppy and some are well. It gets plenty of indirect light, I put it in the window to get more but may have burnt. Any advice is appreciated! 🌺

The first flowers on my nepenthes’ favorite companion, Haraella Odorata (Retrocallus)! I’ll try to get some better shots. Surprisingly hard to get decent photos, and they’re very delicate. I know I definitely need to refresh the spagnum it’s in and there’s a bit of white something growing on the wood mount-I have poured hydrogen peroxide over it, used fungicide everything I can think of and it’s unchanged oh well. Conditions are 65f at night 75f during the day, 12hrs indirect bright full spec, and very importantly humidity stays over 60%. I water whenever the roots looked silvery or the spag dried out sometimes it’s everyday. Very easy going despite being a bit picky about humidity. 🖤
Dendrobium ‘Kyle Qunital’ This one has been in bloom for two years with no rest. It really started ramping up and pushing out flowers this month. Just covered in blooms. It’s lovely and I am happy it’s so happy but… I have noticed they have an odor. Kinda like bug spray. I am reminded of the old Raid commercials every time I get a whiff of them. At least it doesn’t smell like rotted meat. So that’s a win?
Small swirly leaf on Miltoniopsis? 🌱🌿
My gorgeous phalaenopsis orchid having a second bloom!! 😍
I recently got gifted this beautiful baby by a friend! I am brand new and a stranger to orchids so I have to say she’s a little intimidating. I wanna keep her alive as long as possible. Any advice and any must-knows you wanna throw out there for a first time orchid lady? I would appreciate any advice at all cause she’s so pretty!
