I had posted a few months back that my crazy orchid’s stems sprouted. One is 60ā€ long the other 40ā€. Well she finally bloomed and I thought I would share. I wonder if she will do this again next time. I got her as a birthday gift from my sister 12 years ago. Of course her flowers were dyed blue a let down cuz I was expecting the same colored blooms every time. She was my first.

I would like to know what kind of orchid and how to care for it. Thanks

How would you deal with this orchid? Would you propagate these keikis? Or put some support and let her keep popping out babies like she is going on Maury? She has three big ones with two more on the way.

My grandmother has been taking care of these orchids for years, but is wondering why the roots look like this. Can she trim them? Thank you!

I love this time of year. Twinkles twinkling, my paph STILL in bloom, one flower on my key lime hanging in there for dear life, and a bunch of orchids in my collection starting to spike, or in bud. It’s like my orchids are saying… I know it’s winter in Chicago, but spring is coming Jen. Expecting my mini mark to give me a little holiday cheer in a couple weeks too.

Sooo I’m new at this… The blooms on my moth/waterfall orchid are starting to droop, specifically the ones lowest on the stem. I’ve been throwing a few ice cubes in once a week. Is this wrong and what should I do to fix it? TIA

3rd time trying to keep orchids alive and actually trying this time. I got 3 rescues from the grocery store 2 days ago and just today I finally repotted them with orchid bark. How is there spot I chose and is there any tips I should know?

Danielle

Is this a flower spike coming in? Or is it just an aerial root. It looks different than other aerial roots that’s why I’m asking. This is my first orchid and I’ve only had it about 2 months, I got it at plant con in Dallas.
