I noticed this new growth a little bit ago (maybe a month ago) and with the help of this community decided it wasn’t some alien but probably just new flowers. When do you think it’s going to bloom? It feels like it’s grown so slow but also so fast at the same time lol.
Is it normal for orchids old leaves to yellow, it’s been slow but I feel like the bottom leaves have slowly been yellowing and wrinkling. She seems happy since she just put out a new leave and is growing a Bud off of an old stem but I’m still worried.
Brassavola nodosa ’Little stars’ Looks like it will put out three spikes this time. Yay!
I’ve had this Moth Orchid for about a year and when I got her she had beautiful blooms. When all of the flowers ended up dying or falling off I cut it back to one of the little nodules like I saw you were supposed to. Now she has these leaves and “stems” growing out from where I cut her back! I was just wondering if she would bloom again? And also wondering if I should’ve cut her back closer to the base? She is still producing leaves at the base tho!
What’s the deal with Oliver here? He’s been stuck with the one stalk for about 3 months now. Should I cut it back a node and wait for flowers or cut it off completely and let him go into full rest mode?
I have this vanda orchid that I want to “re-pot” she’s out growing the black container she’s in and the wire is too long to hang anywhere in the house. Is it worth doing? Any recommendations on what to do?
Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' The Vanda collection is growing 😸 Added this lovely plant after Mr Pi spotted it at our local box store. Went for light bulbs but left with oh so much more.
I just wanted to show off my Paphiopedilum “Jeweled Eyes” orchid!! I got her back in January so this is my first bloom!
Is this a new stem? Or an aerial root?
First flower to bloom from my rescue orchids!! 🥲 So proud.
Getting cozy for the winter 🥰
Dendrobium Tianmu Plain Botan and Tolumnia Jairek Flyer “Ladybug” :)
Has anyone had luck with their orchid reblooming after cutting the stem all the way back? Mine died before I could cut it off between an open and closed node. She’s put out a brand new leaf and overall looks happy but she’s been like this for awhile and am just wondering how long it takes for them to show any signs of reblooming. Thanks!
I’ve had this newish Epicattelya Rene Marques but I was uncertain it would survive as it was a bit of a rescue. Despite some dehydration, and pleating of a few leaves, it bounced back and grew more than I expected it to. So much so, that I have 2…sheaths (?) shown in the photo, but I’m not sure as these are pretty new types for me. I realize because of the set back, they may not actually bloom- but it’s moving in the right direction. Any experience with this orchid, particularly about the blooming process and what I might expect would be awesome. Thanks pals!
Vanda ‘Boonserm Beauty’ Hello gorgeous!
Hi! I got this orchid a while ago when she had two stems with flowers. The flowers eventually died and when I tried to save the stems so it would reflower only one made it. My stem is now growing this weird thing that I’ve never seen/ noticed before. Is this the stem growing more? Ive never owned an orchid before so I really hope it’s not something bad!
Hi, can anyone help me please? I have a new Miltoniopsis Orchid that was bought for me as a gift. Unfortunately, they decided to repot it a few days before giving it to me into a standard houseplant compost. 🙈 I quickly repotted her into orchid bark with added seramis as that's all I had to hand but she's not happy. I was thinking of repotting again, would a mesh pot be OK with 50% pine bark which has added Seramis and 50% Sphagnum Moss? I was thinking the bark and mesh pot will provide aeration and and moss will help retain moisture as I believe these aren't like Phals, they don't like to dry out. What are your thoughts please? She has 3 flower buds and 2 flowers that were limp. Please help me save her 🙏
New mini blooms!
Say hello to my new orchids! The big mounted one is a bulbophyllum hybrid, and i did not catch the name of the little micros. The bulbo is my AOS project plant for the year, and the littles were gifts from a member whose plant had propagated
👋 Plant Newbie here! I have another new growth on my orchid! Is it a flower stem or root? I chopped off the flower stem’s when it appeared to be dead 💀 so I’m anxiously awaiting for a new stem! 🤔 Thanks!
