I was wondering why my phalaenopsis orchid stems at the top were turning yellow, Delilah (my orchid) flowered a long time ago and really large new leaves began to start growing on the stems a few moths prior. Then I though she was re-flowering but then her stems went yellowish. I cut them back but the yellowness kept spreading, and I am not sure if it is a result of root rot but I cannot find that as one of the listed symptoms. I really have no idea what is going on and at the moment I hardly have enough time to do anything (the joys of stress) so if there is a really quick easy fix that will be so helpful. Thank you.
Im new to orchids this is my first one and I’m Not sure how to take care of it yet. There’s some withering flowers and I don’t know if I should cut them or let them fall off on their own.
Fairly new to orchids. I have my first basal keiki. It's as big as the mother plant with atleast 5 roots. Mother plant has a terminal spike but shows no signs of dying. Infact all of her flower stems are still green. Do I remove the keiki, or just let it be? The root system is very strong and the plant as a whole is very healthy.
Another spike joined the party this morning! 3 in bloom! 😁🪴 and I can see atleast 2 more on the way!
I’m so happy! Got this orchid last year for Valentine’s Day and it’s finally going to bloom!!!
Hi everyone, new to the app and group. I noticed one leaf on my orchid looking a little bumpy and difference in colour. I’ve had this orchid for about 2 years now and she’s on her 2nd round of flowering since I’ve had her. Do I need to be concerned about this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
Two more new plant babies 👶 😁
Surviving newly thriving. Hopefully.
I just got a new orchid and I'm very excited to do take three!
My current blooming orchids 😁🌸
Does anyone know why it’s like this?? I haven’t watered it yet. I got it on the 11th
Any experts on vanilla orchids in here? It's been on my wishlist since FOREVER and finally got my hands on her today. Here's a photo. I'm very excited and put it right up to my humidifier, removed any yellowing or dying leaves, and misted as soon as I got home. Was a little neglected with dry potting mix. I ask because I hear they can be quite difficult, and want to know if there are any tips or things you do in your care regimine. Thanks in advance!
Hi all. I have a dendrobium with a bacterial infection. I removed the badly impacted leaves and sprayed the plant with hydrogen peroxide to prevent secondary fungal infections. Does anyone have advice on how to treat the bacterial infection itself? Thanks in advance!
It’s been almost a year but a new flower spike is starting to grow.
new blooms starting to come through!! The last time I had flowers was May 🥹🌸
Gastrochilus obliquus is flowering for me. Mounted this orchid on a piece of driftwood and put it in my terrarium awhile ago and it seems to like it there.
My orchid has lost its flowers (two are still there but they are dead) and I’m planning on cutting the inflorescence. But I want to make sure I do this correctly. The close up picture shows where the flowers were (those are all used nodes). The second image shows where the leaves end. In the third image the whole plant is shown. Where should I cut?
I have a happy little orchid but I’m wondering if I should repot and when is the best time to do that. If you look closely at the picture you can see roots are starting to poke through the holes. There are a lot of new roots coming but I don’t see any flower stems. I bought a new orchid pot but that is about twice the size of the current one. Any advice is appreciated!
I just got an orchid! Last one that I had died, any tips on keeping it alive?
