# Hey! So I posted about my orchid already but didn’t really get…

_Posted by Miranda on 2024-08-01_

Hey!

So I posted about my orchid already but didn’t really get responses… what am I doing wrong? Should I in a bigger plastic container? Is it getting too much sun? Not enough? There are no pests!

Thanks for the help!

Is the only issue the bubble on the orchid leaves? I believe it is a condition caused by the plant up taking more water than the leaves can handle

#### Sharon replied on 2024-08-01

The small holes might be from scraping against something or maybe an insect took a chunk off before flying off. As long as the surrounding areas are firm and the holes are not spreading, it should be okay!

#### Miranda replied on 2024-08-01

So I have been giving it too much water?

#### Sharon replied on 2024-08-02

Most likely so, but as long as you adjust the watering schedule, the current damage will not severely affect it. No need to worry too much I would say!
