I’ve had these orchids for at least 3 years now, and I’ve recently added them to water. I was worried when I saw people saying that the roots are not good if they’re brown or black. Mine have them but I also see what looks like new green sprouts. Any advice/help is appreciated. 2 separate orchids. The one on the left has no flowers the one on the right has 3 blooms with 2 more buds.
The leaves are all still firm and green, growing a new leaf. Blooms just fell off. Is something wrong with these roots. First time orchid owner. Help!
Is my orchid okay?
Oncidium ‘Heaven Scent’ If you’re growing phals and looking to expand into other types of orchids, this is a great option. It’s fairly undemanding. The flowers last about a month and have a mouth watering chocolate scent (that is if you’re into delicious chocolate). And it’s easier to get to rebloom than the Sherry Baby. Wins all around! Mmmmmm, chocolate…
Could anyone tell me what this is? First time I have had an orchid so I’m not sure if this is normal and what I should do? TYIA
HELP!!! I tried the Dr. planta and it said it couldn’t help but what’s wrong with my orchids??? I was reading that the leather look is from dehydration but from my understanding my roots look pretty hydrated. I don’t want to over water it and kill my roots. Is that even possible?? It’s in a pot with no medium, I was thinking about putting it in a mason jar with water maybe, would that help?
Ok y’all. Here we go again. I was not planning on getting another orchid any time soon, but I was gifted this big ol’ papa Smurf for my birthday! Wish us luck on this journey (again). He’s potted in straight moss, so I’m just going to water less frequently and see how it goes…. Not ready for another repotting disaster.
Not the standard orchid species but this Jewel Orchid is absolutely stunning, pictures cannot do it justice.
I just got this little baby and if anyone could send me tips I hear that ice was bad but I’ve been using it, I just want the best life for her
Dendrobium “Spring Snow” It’s just lovely with large white flowers, a delicate fragrance and an interesting form. And it seems predisposed to produce keikis. Hooray for bonus plants!
Got a new flower spike coming in on one of my orchids!! Decided to try switching the other over to hydro since the aerial roots were out of control. Here’s hoping it takes to the transfer ok! 🤞
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”
Hey guys is this legit?
