First time mounting an orchid on bark. Wish me luck!

Hello! My Orchid had been slowly loosing leaves over the last month and there is another leave currently beginning to yellow on the lower right side. I repotted my orchid about a week ago into a bigger pot because the plant was done blooming, but I am concerned đŹ any advice is appreciated.

EDIT: it was actually just a coating on the outside of the roots that could be gently rubbed off. I hope I didnât aggravate the plant from doing that. The water it was soaking in turned orange/yellow after that! I think maybe it was a pigment in the potting medium. Picture in comments! ââ Repotting a phalaenopsis orchid and I just wanted to check - are these roots healthy? They look so dark but itâs almost like a callous on it. The rest of the roots look green and healthy. I donât need to trim these do I? What if the dark section is in the middle of the root? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! I got a small phal a couple of months ago as a gift, it has been in bloom since I got it, but yesterday a small bottom leaf fell off of the plant and I am concerned about its appearance. The orchid is in sphagnum moss which is keeping it much wetter than Iâd like, but Iâm afraid to repot it while itâs in bloom! Any advice? Thanks so much!

Any suggestions on why my orchid leaf turns yellow in the middle? It started on the back of the leaf but has spread quickly. The other leaves are healthy so far.

Hey guys.. any idea why my daughter in lawâs orchid leaves are growing like this?? Roots are fine and the leaves are strong.. or is it a Georgia thing đ
Sarah
So the flowers are coming to the end of their blooms as you can see, but thereâs something else growing just behind the flower thatâs starting to die off⊠itâs never done this before so any clues would be wonderful. Thank you x

Is there any bad difference between normal fertilizer and orchid fertilizer, would be orchid die if i used this on it? Ive used it for alocasias and even carnivorous plants, i make a tea out of it basically

I have this rhynchostylis coelestis that I managed to keep my cat from killing, but I canât say itâs thriving. I moved it from bark to LECA, because I also overwatered it, and I usually just mist it because all the roots are above the medium anyway. Iâm wondering if anyone has advice for trying to get it really healthy. You can see the leaves are a little mottled and some of the roots are healthy, fat and green but some are kind of shriveled and unhappy. Of course itâs never flowered, the poor thing. But on the plus side, itâs alive! Apparently this orchid is a good choice for mounting to bark, which Iâd consider except Iâve never done it. What do you all think? What would you do if she was yours?

Should I be doing something to these air roots?The roots under the soil are bright green and firm.

Does anyone know why this orchidâs leaf is turning yellow? I usually water when the roots are silvery and it gets good lighting

I received this orchid as a gift YEARS ago before I found my grove keeping them alive. The leaves are not thick like the others, theyâre kind of Lily-like. I have noticed some new root tendrils peeking out and have been very encouraged. BUT Today I noticed what looks like RUST on some leaves. 1. What kind of orchid is this please? And 2. How do I heal it?

Anyone know what this is on my orchid leaf? Itâs in full bloom and looks healthy. Itâs hard and stuck to the leaf.

I repotted tiny. A second leaf is dying and a 3rd flower fell off. Well turns out, there were 2 orchids in 1 growing pot! I repotted with basic potting mix? I honestly donât know hat Iâm doing. Hoping to give these orchids the best life! (Orchid potting mix) *edited*

I repotted my orchids in January. All have put out new leaves and are now sprouting⊠Are they all air roots, or is the top one a new flower spike?
