Well now i feel dumb, this plant was gifted to my boss and I've been trying to keep it alive I looked at the bottom after MONTHS and it was barely noticeable but I noticed a bit of bubbling when I tilted the glass. I pulled the plant up and sure enough.. like no wonder it's struggling so much
Help! I repotted my orchid while it was blooming, before I knew not to do it the deed had already been done. I repotted her 28 days ago into a new pot out of the store bought plastic pot. The leaves have been drooping ever since and idk what to do to get her healthy again. I’ve increased the watering because the planta doctor feature says it’s under watered. The medium is the bark on bottom, moss in middle around the roots, and bark on top.
I know I'm going to get roped into going to the actual store. They had so many cool orchids at the Emerald city Orchid booth
How cute is this little guy!!
Good morning from the Big Island
Can someone please tell me what this is? 👀 Is the stem branching out or is it something else? First-time orchid mom here!
What showing out of my paph? Feeling around my paph’s soil and felt this hard thing and dug it out a bit. Can anyone tell me what it might be? She’s in her original pit (got her at a show 2 weeks ago) and am thinking of replanting in better (my!) soil but don’t want to strew her as she’s in bloom. Any advice?
Fertilizer question I’d like to fertilize my orchids but the mixes I look at all have different ratios (30-10-10 or 20-20-15, etc.). I’ve got Phal, Paph, Oncidium orchids and wonder if I need different fertilizer for each one or what’s best?
Can anyone that specializes in orchid care give me some pointers in the right direction for my plants?
Is this another air root or ?????
Wanted to share these absolutely massive blooms I saw on some of the orchids at the store. Have never seen such large ones before, easily bigger than the palm of my hand —Valentine’s Day specials maybe?
Got one of my orchids to rebloom!!! 🥳🥳🥳 she’s the newer one so hopefully her friend right next to her decides that growing a flower spike is the cool thing to do!
Sunday morning blooms and coffee! 😁
Hi everyone. My first time posting here. I bought this cymbidium last year. They were full of leaves and produce new plants. But they look very bad. I need ded to repot them twice due to roting root. I reduce considerably the watering but still they look not great. Any advice pls.
Does anyone think this may be some sort of disease, virus, or anything? I feel like the spotting has spread, but that may be paranoia
Hi there! I’ve had this orchid for years and after the last spike died, I have not been able to get it to grow another one. Just repotted this one about 3 months ago. I have 3 other orchids that are thriving so I’m not sure what’s up with this one. Any tips?
I may be going crazy, but did I just find a tiny snail on one of my orchids… I have no words. It’s one of the recent arrivals, may be quarantine time now, I’ve never seen this before
They are popping out! 😁
Another one about to bloom! 😁
Hi Everyone, I discovered one of my orchids has tons of root rot that I had to cut off. Has maybe one or two tiny ok roots. How do I save it? #needhelp Thanks in advance. Norah
