According to the Planta plan I am supposed to be fertilizing my moth orchid tomorrow. I am not used to this type of orchid pot. It’s all plastic with no side slots to allow drainage, just a hole center bottom. It’s still quite wet from the last watering. My first thought is to skip the feeding, as I don’t want to drown the poor thing. It’s still in full bloom so I don’t want to repot. Any advice would be much appreciated!
My orchid finally finished blooming!
Winter blooms are such a welcome surprise 🤗
So excited to see my orchid blooming :))
This is my miniature orchid I got for $7! last Valentine’s Day- look at the colour on those flowers!
I love walking into my laundry room and seeing a new bloom :)
My sister was given this orchid and it doesn’t look to be in too good of shape. The roots seem to be rotten and the leaves are wrinkly and turning yellow. I am not sure where to start in helping this orchid out. Please help.
Hi! My friend recently got an orchid, and was having some issues so I wanted to post on here and ask if anyone knows what to do. The orchid is pretty new, and continuing to flower, but some of the tiny buds are turning yellow and the leaves are getting droopy. Does it just need to be watered? Thanks for the help!
Hello everyone! My beautiful phaleanopsis has finished blooming and is currently potted in a sphagnum moss mix. I think it's a good time to repot my orchid, but i was wondering if trimming the two tall stems is necessary to promote new flower growth? Also, i am wondering if it is safe to repot her while in winter🤔 i do have grow light that i use for my bonsai, so i was planning on sharing that light with both plants...would that help? Thanks for the advice! 🙂
Hello everyone👋 (new parent over here) I received this beautiful as a gift on last October, this is my first orchid in my life and it’s been doing pretty good, sadly after Christmas it accidentally fell down from my plant stand and it broke some flowers (it had 9 blooms before and now I’m left with 2 of them) I really don’t know what to do, if I have to do something about it or just wait? Please any advice or suggestions will be appreciated 🙏 Thank you! This is the before/after pictures
I received this as a gift and know nothing about orchids. It looks like it needs to be repotted (roots are growing out of the pot). Is it safe to do so now? How do I go about the process? Any help is appreciated!!
Phalaenopsis ‘P. Long Pride Pure Dancer I love this time of year!
Hi everyone! I’m here to boast a lil and I’m sorry 😭 But for the first time in my life, I haven’t killed an orchid. I was worried because three leaves had fallen off when I was first gifted it! I have since gotten a grow light and no more leaves have fallen. I also have a new flower coming! I’m so happy!
This is my first orchid. Do I trim off the brown part of the stem? What about the new growth with the bloom? Will I need to somehow support this? Thank you
I’m back two weeks later with this little guy, no mites were found! The leaves haven’t change at all so I’m assuming it’s old cold damage possibly. It’s been doing well and some more of its flowers are starting to drop. I just watered it today and it finally has a place with my other plants!
One of the buds on my orchid died before blooming, does anyone know why this might have happened?
Hi! My phalaenopsis orchid lost all of its roots due to root rot and all I was left with was the crown. I’m not sure if this can be propagated since I’ve looked online and I didn’t find anything. I’m not sure what to do please help :(
We’re blooming!😍
New orchid blooms ❤️
I’m just joining this group and wanted to share the newest addition to my orchid collection. It is a Dendrobium nobile and it smells amazing.
