FINALLY blooming. Girl was naked for months
Tiny but mighty. Went to an Orchid sale for the first time. Place was huge. It was overwhelming how many they had, so I settled on this little guy.
How am I doing ? I got her in feb and her flowers fell pretty immediate. She popped a new leaf but the cane is slowly getting darker and darker. I did remove quite a few bad roots when I got her too. Do I cut the cane off or leave it. Should I change the pot and moss?
My orchid is done for I think. It’s a moth orchid. It dried out quite a bit and was knocked off the shelf by my toddler. I’ve been trying to rehab the orchid, but it seems to be still having trouble. It has 1 root, that is green and has new growth. It has 1 tiny leaf, but it is not firm, and is a bit wrinkly. I’m not sure what else I can do to help it!
Does anyone know what the variation of this orchid is? I know it’s a Cattleya but I’ve lost the name tag :(
My Oncidium “yellow heart” is really putting on a sunny show with its one giant bloom spike 😍
Can we just talk about this plant for a minute? I purchased it under the assumption that it was an orchid cactus. I’ve had him about a year. I was also under the assumption that they “trailed.” All the pics of orchid cactus I’ve ever seen trailed. Then there’s this guy. He either is not an orchid cactus OR he is living his best chaotic life. Thoughts?! Advice? Should I cut him? He’s kind of getting on my nerves.
hi guys! this is orchid😊
Are these healthy roots? It seemed to be drying out quickly so I added moss a couple weeks ago. I live in a dry climate
Was going to do some needed root clean up and noticed this growing off of one end of a root and two other roots are starting to bud small white dots as well. Does anyone know what this is? I can’t tell if it’s new growth or some time of fungus I should be concerned about. Thank you in advance!!
I am in the journey of reviving my orchid, which I purchased at thd last year. It originally came on soil and after the flowers died it started decaying with them. I cleaned it, cut the rotten roots and put it on water for a couple of months. Finally I cut off remaining rotten roots and recently repotted it here with orchid bark. I am hoping to heal it back to peak health but I am doing it blindly. Any advice?
I just got this vanilla bean orchid today… her name is Mrs. Bean!! Anybody have any ideas on keeping it alive and how to unravel it without breaking it?.. also, I need pointers or an Amazon link on what type of pole to get for her to climb on😅😇
My Paph Maudiae is blooming. Two years in a row 😊😊. It started to grow the flower spike in early March and now the flower is open. The top petal isn’t erect and I’m not sure why. Oh well. Still, I’m glad it bloomed again. 😍 Sorry pics aren’t the greatest
Hi guys! I was given two sad orchids, i’m trying to nurse them back to life!! I have repotted both of them in clear, plastic nursery pots with lots of drainage holes and filed them with orchid bark. Any advice helps! UPDATE! My dendronium has a new shoot!!! (third photo) Unfortunately my Moth orchid has had no progress :(
Here is grace, she’s doing great. She lost a few leaves is that normal or not.
I love how orchids take their sweet time to open. Been waiting ages for these kids to show up to the party. Happy Sunday all!
My orchid has died and this is what it looks like. I would like some advice on how to bring it back to life. I do water it, but I would like to know what else can I do?
My moth orchid blooms are starting to droop. I’ve had her for 3 weeks, is it just time to lose the blooms and start over? And if so, when should I expect new blooms? I’m a novice at plants and with the chunky orchid mix, I can’t check for watering issues like my other plants.
