My moth orchid always seems to struggle having more than three leaves, the roots are also hard to decent between green or brown or silver.. and one of the leaves is starting to shrivel and wilt. I repotted and cut off a bunch of dead roots but the condition doesn’t seem to be improving, even after two weeks. Any tips or advice? Thanks!
This is my most recent rehabilitation project! This girl was given to me sooo thirsty, choking in Spanish moss, and without any support. I wish I would’ve taken a picture but it was so sad. Legend says she’s over 10 years old (you’d believe it if you saw her roots entirely). I’m just so happy for her! She’s loving life now 🤩🌱
I’m starting to collect mini/micro mini orchids. It’s very different and exciting!
Hi all! New to planta. Here's my mounted orchid after refreshing with new sphagnum.
Hi! This is my first ever orchid and I have some confusion…Planta says they do not require frequent watering, yet it’s telling me to water twice per week…so which is it?! 😅 hoping to keep this baby alive and well for as long as possible. Thanks!
My orchid babies, all of these came to me in dire condition, some I’ve been growing for years. Others are new this season. I cleaned them all up and decided to make an orchid log to mimic their natural growing conditions/environment with moss and a piece of driftwood. It’s going great, and they’re happy as ever!
Hey guys I’ve posted about my adopted/rescues Orchids so I lost one but the one I’ve been able to save looks like a new leaf is coming through . I say looks like because this is my first Orchid experience what do you all think ? Oh & I have to post my before pic and after because I’m so happy how it’s come along . 1st before but after I cleaned it up 2nd after weeks of babying & 3rd leaf? 🪴🙂
Transplanted my Orchard to leca and now there white fuzzy stuff around the roots.
Hey everyone, my boyfriend bought this because it was sitting in the orchid section of Home Depot. I tried scanning it on the app and it just says it’s a moth orchid, but it doesn’t look like any orchid I’ve ever had.
I’ve been caring for this stressed orchid. Placed it in plastic zip top bag with damp moss and I just noticed a new root growing and the leaf looks healthy. So happy!
Help please it’s a rescue
So I have three orchids I got my larger ones at the same time and care for them the same however one of them lost all of its flowers and the leaves are browning my other one is flowering and holding up very well. What am I doing wrong here
Rhynchobrassoleya Copper Queen Woo hoo! Wasn’t expecting it to bloom this year. No scent but who need it with a lip like that
Just noticed my orchids one leaf is very yellow with some wilting flowers? Planta said it might need more light. The top feels almost soggy while the bottom of the pot seems much dryer from what I can tell trying to stick my fingers in it…… is she dying? Help Please!
Is my orchid ok? The flowers have died and the stem has been turning brown. Also, there is new green stem that has been growing, what does it suggest?
So I have my orchid living in water and it’s been thriving but all of the sudden some stems are dying. I giving it orchid food and the right amount of sunlight. What do I do???
Brassolaelia Richard Mueller x Cattleya Triumphans I love this plant. I got it from a box store. It was piled with a ton of other orchids on a dark shelf. I bought it expecting absolutely nothing. It blooms multiple times a year. The flowers are large and a lovely yellow orange with an orange magenta spotted lip.
And this beautiful Phalenopsis “Miki Freckle” Received last September. It was also by mail and had a hard trip. But worked our way back.
Angraecum didieri Purchased last July by mail.
my orchid is done flowering, how far down should i cut the shoot? thank you!
