Ok y’all I did it. We repotted. Wish us luck. I didn’t realize it was in ALL moss, I thought there was bark in there too! Boy was I wrong 😬

I have a thing for yellow flowers. I don’t know why I am just now realizing that.

So I’ve read that the orchid needs to be reported when the media is broken down, but how do I k ow when it is broken down? I bought this amazing orchid for $5.00(what a deal!), and I’m thinking about repotting it soon, but how do I k ow if it needs repotting or not? (I used flash for the second pic because it was too dark)

Question to those of you who have dendrobium experience… I live in the Midwest, and have heard that they need higher temps and more light than even say, cattleyas. Would I struggle to get them to bloom in my regular 68-70 degree home environment?

Any suggestions? Is there a way to re propagate it? The last leaf broke off but the roots still look a little alive. I sprayed it with fungicide.

My poor orchid is struggling! I love the color and I want to save it! I lost another leave today! What do I do? I just watered it and I also checked the roots and repotted it recently. Help!!

For such tiny flowers, the Oncidium Gold Dust pumps out the loveliest fragrance. Such a joy to have it at my desk.

Hello my orchid is sick. I’ve had it for almost a year and it’s been fine until recently. I think she may have been slightly overwatered. I took a look at the roots and some seem a little “squishy” but many seem very healthy still. I’m afraid to repot, because last time I repotted an orchid, it died rather quickly after that. Thought and/or advice is welcome 💚

Progress! When I brought her home Aug 10th and today (one with cat is today lol)

I have a cutting from an epidendrum radicans that I have placed in a small amount of water. Has it grown keikis? Should I remove them?

I first got this plant from my mom, she got it at work, and she had flowers on her at first, but then they fell off! But they are blooming soon! I'm so excited!

So I have an orchid that really needs to be repotted but it still has its flowers. She can't even stand up straight bc she's so top heavy 😅 Her leaves are dying as well😰🫣 Should I repot her anyways, or wait? Idk what to do 😩

My little yellow orchid’s bud is blooming (on the right). Will the left stem grow bigger? I’m new to orchids.

Please help! I’ve had this orchid for around 1.5 months now, and as you can see one of the orchids is really doing well but the other (the left one) is dying. I bought it at the supermarket and was using ice cubes, but YouTube said not to so I’m not. I just watered it the right way today but I need help on reviving the orchid on the left that’s wilted and sad. The green roots have gotten thicker because of today’s watering but the wilted roots are still not in great condition. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Two new roots and a baby leaf! She’s my first orchid and I almost lost her because I made a lot of rookie mistakes. But she’s growing now! 🥹
