My orchid went downhill after I repotted to a larger pot (roots were bound)! But I just noticed these small lil bugs on it. It’s planted in sphagnum moss. If anyone knows, please help!

Your vibes are strong here in the Orchid Oasis. Not only is that first growth definitely a coming flower spike, but I think I spy a second one! Do I dare to get my hopes up that my first blooming on my long-awaited mini mark may have TWO flower spikes?!? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

My first Cattleya bloom 😀 really surprised just how much she loves the heat outside atm.

Help, I never have any luck with orchids. They all get super wilty and sometimes turn yellow. I’ve repotted, cleaned up the roots, no success. I water about every 10 days. I fertilize every other time or so. They’re in a fairly bright spot (no direct sun).

Welp. I’ve done it. I’ve killed her.

Happy 7th birthday to vandy. Decided to show her true beauty for her day.

Cross your fingers for me… I am hoping this is the first flower spike ever on my phalaenopsis mini mark! It may very well be a new root, but send it some good vibes. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

We don’t see enough green flowers in this forum. Dendrobium “Green Flash”

I hope my blooms last a while. These are my first orchids and they seem to like their home as I’ve been getting new buds too.

We have a Moth Orchid at my office (a library) that has not bloomed in the longest time. Any advice to help it bloom?

new to the jewel orchid….anyone know if this little sprout on the opposite side of the pot means it needs a bigger pot?

Pretty new to the Orchid community, but I’ve had this one for about 8 months, around month 3 or 4, all of the flowers slowly fell off. Everything I’ve read said to trim down the stem and just wait for re-bloom… My question is how long does re-blooming usually take? (Pictures are 6 months ago vs now) (I trimmed the stem about 2 months ago and it’s grown 2 inches since.)

I’ve been waiting on her to bloom again. Brassavola nodosa ’Little stars’ Produces a lovely fragrance at night.

I bought this beautiful fragrant “pansy” orchid in June. It’s labeled Miltonia. But I cant find any online which look exactly like it. Planta also wont identify it correctly. Can anyone confirm if it is a Miltonia and what sort of environment it needs to thrive? It also now has some black spots on leaves and bulb. Is that too much light or mold? Thanks!

Anyone know how to identity what “buds” are viable and where I should cut my losses.

I bought my first ever Orchid today 😊 I am not the greatest at all with keeping plants alive so I am hoping this app with help greatly! Is there a fertilizer that is highly recommended, the app recommends that I do fertilize it in 13 days?

Key Lime Stars. What a very strong and vigorous grower! Absolutely zero set-back since I brought her home last September. Two directions of growth. And GUYS!!! not one, but TWO little sheaths with buds forming inside. I know it’s more fun to see the flowers, but it’s cool to see how other types of orchids begin to flower if you’re just used to a phalaenopsis flower spike. Plus, I am just so excited to see what’s coming, and happy that it looks like it’s going to bloom for the first time in my care.
