i’m new to orchids, but absolutely love them! my phalaenopsis had 3 stems and they have all eventually turned brown therefore i’ve cut them down. i have a few other orchids, and i haven’t had to do this with any of them. is this completely normal? like everything dies down eventually right???

My Phalaenopsis orchid was accidentally knocked over and it’s stem with flowers & buds snapped off!! I popped it into a vase of water while I figure out if there is anything that can be done with it. The two flowers lasted several days but then fell off to be followed by the buds. The remaining stem looks quite healthy. Can anything be done with it or is it a lost cause?

Hey all, I’m new to this group! Has anyone tried keeping their orchid in water rather than orchid bark? I saw on tiktok that they can do well in just water. I’m interested in trying but skeptical

Help! I removed all the moss over a week ago and repotted in orchid bark, I noticed the blooms wilted and checked the roots to find mold! What’s the best way to bring her back!?

Need some advice on my paphiopedilums, (slipper orchids.) I’m very aware that this is a terrestrial orchid, and as such, the roots need to be below the medium. I have a couple plants that grew new fans much taller than the old growth, and are trying to put out roots an inch or two above the medium level. They just dry out and then poor guy tries to grow another root higher up. I can’t separate it from the old fan and replant lower in the pot, because right now, the old roots are the only thing providing it with moisture. Am I destined to lose these guys?! 😭 Any advice?

She got overwatered and the blooms wilted and most of them fell off. I fixed the drainage and she’s doing much better. Will these nodes re-blossom? Can i trim it back to stimulate it to bloom again? Thanks!

I’ve heard some good intel on leaving your orchid in water, and changing the water 2x per week. Does anyone do this/recommend this? 🌷

Can someone help revive this plant?! I originally have it on the living room but it just seems to be wilting. I have another orchid that is in our guestroom that has no direct sunlight and is thriving very well. I tried moving this orchid to be on the same room as the other but it doesnt seem to be thriving very well even after that. :(
