Hi everyone! I’m here to boast a lil and I’m sorry 😭 But for the first time in my life, I haven’t killed an orchid. I was worried because three leaves had fallen off when I was first gifted it! I have since gotten a grow light and no more leaves have fallen. I also have a new flower coming! I’m so happy!

This is my first orchid. Do I trim off the brown part of the stem? What about the new growth with the bloom? Will I need to somehow support this? Thank you

I’m back two weeks later with this little guy, no mites were found! The leaves haven’t change at all so I’m assuming it’s old cold damage possibly. It’s been doing well and some more of its flowers are starting to drop. I just watered it today and it finally has a place with my other plants!

One of the buds on my orchid died before blooming, does anyone know why this might have happened?

Hi! My phalaenopsis orchid lost all of its roots due to root rot and all I was left with was the crown. I’m not sure if this can be propagated since I’ve looked online and I didn’t find anything. I’m not sure what to do please help :(

I’m just joining this group and wanted to share the newest addition to my orchid collection. It is a Dendrobium nobile and it smells amazing.

My friends orchid hasn’t flowered in 2 years. The leaves seem healthy and she just repotted. It was in moss and now she’s in orchid potting mix. She waters it every 28 days. Any help is appreciated!

Hello! I recently received this plant as a gift from a friend and I’m not completely sure what to do with it. This is my first plant and I was told it needed some TLC but I would really appreciate some tips to get her healthy again. Her name is Celeste! Thank you🩷💐

I moved a clip and foolishly and accidentally put it on wrong and it bit into a nice new spike that has lots of growth. Will those bite marks stunt the amazing growth that’s coming in (it’s the left spike in the photo)?

saw this one in Italy and it broke my heart not being able to bring it with me 😢 anyone knows if you can find it in UK?

Help please! I revived this orchid my mom got from Whole Foods. I finally bought a new pot and orchid potting mix so I would be able to re pot it out of moss. I read that I should wait to repot after it flowers and so that’s what I’m going to do because it rarely flowers and I’m so excited. I just noticed this fuzzy stuff on the roots and brown/black spots. I’m worried. Please let me know what I should do about the roots and any other orchid tips. Advice is so appreciated.

I want a moth orchid so bad, but my home has forced air and it’s quite dry, especially in the winter. Is it possible to keep a happy orchid in a dry home? Will it require a lot of care?

Brassolaelia Richard Mueller x Cattleya Triumphans It may be below freezing outside, but this kid doesn’t care. Just popped out four blooms. Very interesting color progression with this one. It starts out almost beige the first day. By the second day, the color deepens to a yellow orange. The lip is beautifully ruffled with magenta spots. The flowers are around 3” across.

Tips for success? I’ve recently repotted my phalaenopsis orchid (3-4months ago) and I’ve noticed that she’s not been super happy afterwards. She’s dropped 2 (old) leaves but recently grew the one on the right post repotting. I’ve got plenty of healthy roots and the looks of a new one starting but she hasn’t had a flower spike in 2 years. Regularly watering her 50mL once a week. Perhaps she doesn’t like the switch from sphagnum moss to the new orchid mixture and bigger pot? (Her roots were growing out of the old pot so she needed an upgrade) I got the grow lights thinking she needed more light now that it’s winter as she’s previously loved this window and we’ve been having no sun for the past month.

Oh no! I have found thrips! I have isolated the plant that I can tell is infected. I could use some recs on treatment for this plant and what to do with other plants.

Which orchids do well in LECA? Planta says my ludisia discolor (currently in soil and doing fine) will love it, and it’s not recommended for my rhynchostylis (currently in bark). Is that because the rhynchostylis won’t ever truly dry out in LECA?

Do these look like new flower stems popping out? This is my first orchid, and she unfortunately lost all of her flowers shortly after I got her. I did cut the stem back after doing some research and unfortunately have been dealing with some pests. So I’ve been trying to nurse her back to health and noticed these two little guys pop up a few days apart.
