Hey guys! I have a couple questions for y’all, so my mom has a orchid that has no flower for almost a year. I’m hoping she will get a spike as it gets cold. Oh and is it true that you shouldn’t repot while they are flowering? ( photo is for attention )
How often do orchids bloom? I bought two when they were in bloom and pruned back the stems after they wilted. I’ve read multiple sources that say if you do this, they’ll bloom six weeks later again. So far, no joy. Is this a fairy tale? 🤔
My first Orchid-wish me luck!
I just got my first orchid.. it came in this ceramic planter not very big and no drainage holes, there is also this root coming out of the pot. Should I replant it now?
Hello all!! ☺️ I received my first ever orchid today! (Plant #13) any tips and tricks are welcome 🤗 thank you in advance
Have you had white spots on your orchid’s leaves?
Happy Sunday all.. question for you… Would anyone know why my stems are turning yellow?
Hi! Can anyone tell me an orchid-safe way to lower the pH of their soil (bark-based)? I’ve discovered that it’s currently too alkaline!
Hi! I have a dead looking orchid. Can someone confirm before I replace it 🙁. I’ve heard they go in and out of bloom, but the stem on this one is totally dead.
Do y’all repot your new orchids after some of the blooms have fallen or wait until all of them have? I lost a few blooms in the week or two right after I got my new plant I’m pretty sure that due to stress from moving but they have been fine since. I’ve seen several videos where people repot with blooms at several different states with the flowers dropping so I wanted to ask. As far as I can tell the rest of the plant is fine and I haven’t lost any blooms since those first few over two months ago.
I rescued this poor thing from the Lowe’s clearance section last night. I took it out of the moss and found that all the roots were dried up and had root rot. I cleaned it, sprayed it with peroxide, and used a pesticide. I repotted it. Hopefully, I can nurse it back to health!
First time posting here as I need some help to understand what is happing to my orchid. It started with chalky blotches on leaves and now yellowing and brown spots. Any idea on how I can restore it to health?
This post is for my orchid friends waiting on those SPIKES!!! This is what you are looking for when looking for new flower spikes. I have two right above the bottom leaves. Hope this helps.
In other news… my gorgeous orchid here has finally had all its buds bloom <3
Hello my wonderful plant people! Please help! It’s gnat season here and they are hitting us like never before. These guys are getting super crafty and I’m running out of options
My moth orchid has this white splotch growing on the leaf recently. I’m not sure if it is a pest issue, but i have separated from the rest of my plants just in case. Any ideas/solutions? :)
Hi! I’m determined *not* to kill this little orchid I picked up today. I noticed it came with these little spots on the leaves. Any experience with what that might be and if anything should be done about them? Thanks!
Hi everyone! I’ve just noticed that the bottom leaf of my Phal looks like it’s tearing. Is that common or is it a sign that something is wrong with it? I’ve repotted a few weeks ago & have gotten new root growth but I’m new to orchids so I’m not sure if I need to be worried or not. Thanks in advance!
My orchid is done flowering so I wanted to consider repotting. I know they prefer smaller spaces… do you think this sized pot will be okay for it?
