Question for the Oasis crowd (or anyone else with an opinion) - when your orchids are in bloom, do you keep them in their typical growing spot or move them to other places to display?

Feeling super proud. I’ve had this plant since the beginning of may and since then it’s given me 2 flowers it still has and it’s now growing a new leaf and I found a new flower bud this morning.

I have been waiting like 2-3 weeks since the buds came in and Noodle still hasn't bloomed. Is there something I'm doing to prevent her from blooming or is it normal to take this long? Also if u have any advice on orchids it would be much appreciated considering the fact that I have 4 of them.

My favorite orchid! She is a Yellow Star Okika, a hybrid of Brassia, Odontoglossum and Oncidium, native to Hawaii. I’m absolutely obsessed with her

What kind of potting soil do I need to repot my orchard plant?

hi all! i’ve been trying to revive a severely dehydrated orchid and i thought it was doing great after i repotted bc it was growing lots of new bb roots but they all went white and died pretty quickly. i repotted again after i treated the roots and crown with hydrogen peroxide just in case. after that it started growing lots of new bb roots again and i thought i was in the clear but as you can see they seem to be turning white and dying off. the roots that are all white are from after i originally repotted, the ones that are still green but starting to get white are from after the 2nd repot. any idea what’s going on and how i can help? i added some pics from when i first got it so you can see the progress in case thats helpful.

Hello! 👋 I have been doing some research and am having a bit of a hard time figuring out what’s wrong with my orchid’s roots. Is this an early stage of root rot? Does it require urgent action? (I’ve found some good tips on how to deal with that, I just don’t want to take drastic measures if unnecessary.)

Help!! One of my friends just gave me this orchid, but it’s in pretty bad condition. It it long gone or can it be saved? If so, any suggestions?

Trying to keep this orchid alive. Hasn’t bloomed in years but leaves look mostly great and there is a new root growing. Can I cut the dead roots off?

My orchid had many rotten roots and i just washed the roots and added new moss in between them. I noticed there was something wrong with it when the flowers started falling even though they haven’t dried up yet. I’m going to get more moss to cover up the top a little but is there anything I can do to improve its health? I’m also planning to not water it for a while to let the roots breathe a little.

Trying to figure out how to save my mom’s orchid… leaves are droopy and shrivelled, one is even papery thin/dried up. Upon inspection I realized it basically doesn’t have any roots in the potting medium anymore, only the aerial roots! Help please??? What should I do?

Does anyone know why my orchid hasn’t bloomed for a year? It’s sprouting new leaves and roots, it’s just not blooming.
