Does anybody know if Sphagnum moss or orchid bark is better for my orchid

Help! Why is the tip of my orchid stalk drying it was doing so good for the longest and now it’s drying out?

I’ve had this orchid for probably 8 years, and think I’m all that time it sprouted a new stem with buds once. It continues to push out new leaves and roots. I’ve let the roots grow over and out the plastic pot, but I’m wondering if I should put them into the bark. Wondering how I can get this bad boy to flower again.

Tips on repotting my orchid? She’s been in the same 4” pot for several years and I’m sure it’s time to repot. Other than that, I’m brand new to this orchid business. TIA for any suggestions. Regards, 🤗💚🪴

OK, now that my orchid has bloomed, and the flowers have passed away, 😂, what do I do at this point? I know she needs to be repotted, since that hasn’t been done in years, but do I cut the old stems off at the base or what? I’ve never done an orchid before, so I’m unfamiliar with what happens next. TIA for any answers. Regards, 🤗💚🪴

I got this orchid May 31st and it’s still alive and healthy as far as I can tell. This app doesn’t have it in the system- so I suggested it be added. I wanted to ask if any of you have advice or tips regarding watering, placement, fertilizing etc. This is an Oncostele Catatante x Oncidium Barossa Delight, or Wilsonara Eye Candy ‘Pinkie’. Correct me if I’m wrong lol. The photos go from when I got it pre bloom, bloomed and to now- post blooms. The stalk post bloom is really long but since the base is still green I’ve just left it alone. I should also mention I’ve not repotted either.

Hello everyone. I purchased my first Orchid today. Unfortunately I did not see it had a sick leaf because the “bag” it came it was colorful and not translucent. Can you please help me fix this?

What to do about these roots? My lovely orchid is thriving for the first time in a few years. It’s grown three new leaves with another one on the way, and flowered (yay!). But the roots are growing out of the pot now. I’m worried if/when I have to repot, I’ll have to cut off these roots (or else they’ll break off). I use a mix of sphagnum moss and bark. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!!

Returned after a 2 week trip in 2 different states with concern that all my orchids may have suffered without my attention. They clearly love their Auntie babysitter who looked in on them, because I was greeted with zygo blooms AND two growths on my mini mark. I *think* they are both spikes, but one was kinda giving Basel keiki vibes, so I’ll keep you posted. Either way… just a reminder that not all orchids are delicate and persnickety. Some varieties are super vigorous and resilient.

Hello! My orchid is healthy, is growing new leaves and has crazy aerial roots. It just started growing a new one. There’s nothing I want more than for it to bloom again but it’s been over a year. Any tips to promote bloom?

Hey there! I’m posting about 2 orchids here - are any of these spots/marks cause for concern? Thanks!

Not sure if this is savable Maybe it's the end of the cycle not sure if they supposed to last more than one summer but if it can be saved, I would love to know how Should I pull it out to check the roots? They were once beautiful and now they slowly dying😢 I don’t know generally enough about the pot it in doesn’t have drainage holes I’m sure that’s not helping . Please help🤍🩷

Any tips with using leca for orchids? I somewhat understand how to transition the plant but unsure of the watering needs after.

Root rot was really bad on this orchid

Hi. Does anyone know what the white patches on my flower spike are? Thanks

Quick question on Orchids I recently bought one from a nursery , but I see that the buds are drying out instead of blooming flowers. Any idea what’s wrong
