Help! My orchid started growing out a new leaf and the leaves underneath it are wilting... I'm not sure what to do ☹️☹️

Happy to see it is blooming again after some period of me not being able to provide the best care for it. This is one of my first plants. 15 buds. Simple but beautiful orchid in my collection.

There is some bright windowsill sunshine on the cloudy and rainy day in Calgary. It was blooming for me for the whole summer.

My Orchid has shed all its flowers and had super green leaves for 2-3 months after and now the leaves are turning yellow how to I save her to hopefully get a future bloom??

First time this bloomed. It was potted Dec/21 from Cloud’s nursery. Purchased last year as NB and is right on schedule. 😀Phal. Chiada Fiona.

Does anyone know what this is on the leaf... My orchid seems super healthy apart from this.. the white residue is fungal treatment btw I applied about a week ago. It seems to have made minimal difference. I really don't want to lose her 😥

There was a small accident and something fell on my orchid. The new baby leaf was broken and the topmost leaf is now loose. I have tied it back together and fingers crossed it survives- has anyone else had a plant come back from something like this?

Does this look healthy? If I need to cut it where should I make the cut?

How can I help these roots? Should I cut them off? I don't want to kill this beauty.

CVS was tossing orchids in the trash. I asked to have them. They thought I was crazy. I bought them home, cleaned, cut and replanted. Let’s see what happens!

This is a very old orchid - it was my husband’s grandmother’s! Other than these black spots, I believe it looks healthy. I repotted it about a month ago after 2 yrs in the same pot. (I’m new to orchids). I had to cut away all of the roots. Now they’re beginning to pop out everywhere - whew! The orchids are watered 1x/wk and the spits aren’t getting worse or better. ???

Some of the older canes on my den have been turning smaller and wrinkled, is this part of the regular aging process or am I not providing enough water? The growths from this year seem fine, and I think a flower spike is starting to grow, if that makes any difference

Hello, my orchid was given to me and it's got very healthy leaves and a long branch the tip was brown so I trimmed it down to a couple of the bulbs that stick out was that the right thing to do? If not what should I do for it to start growing Flowers?

Orchid lost all its flowers and the ends of the spikes are drying up. Do I need to cut the spikes off for the next season?

I was gifted this orchid about three weeks ago. Recently, I’ve noticed that some of its roots have started to turn purple/blue. Does anybody know what might be causing this and how I can fix it?

Phrag. Bouley Bay. This is an old plant that finally flowered after way too many years.

Have you guys ever seen this happen on a phalaenopsis root? I have tips growing normally, and then this weirdo. It’s like it’s dividing into three.
