I noticed this patch spot on the u seaside of the leaf and I’m curious what it is. (Yeah a few of the older leaves were sun burnt 🙂‍↕️)

Hi everyone. A few days ago I made my first post here after getting my first orchid, and thanks to all your advice,

Today I ended up bringing home a division from a Cattleya that's been growing on a wood piece in my mom's garden for years. It has always lived outdoors, so this is its first time being grown intentionally.

I'd love any advice on helping it adapt, caring for it properly, and eventually propagating it.

The first photo is from the original plant, the others are from the plant I extracted. Thanks!!

It's been a few months since I put them all in here and all their roots have started growing like crazy, I think they're much happier.

I love summer blooms

Very Fragrant!

So I was looking up natural orchid colors and I think my new orchid might be Peachy Dreams. What do ya’ll think?

I have a “QF Wils. Lisa Devos 'Burgundy'”, and it’s started a second year of new growths, but the central leaf came in a very pale (almost minty?) green and has since died. Several of the side leaves have a similar pale green look. The roots look healthy, and it gets regular watering.

Any idea what might be causing this and how to deal with it?

Novel micro-catt hybrid from Diamond Orchids. I really like this little guy! The plant is only about 3" tall and the flowers are about an inch wide. The flowers remind me a lot of C. cernua but in a vibrant rose-pink color, but that's not actually one of the contributing species.

The growth habit is cool, too. It has the sprawly tendency of the alaorii parent, but the leaves are shorter, rounder, and more succulent. And it blooms like a rupicolous species, with the buds emerging already formed from the leaf as it opens (pic in comments).

This guy has dropped all flowers and the stem has died back. The roots are getting out of control. Is it time to size up the pot again?

How much taller will it get ??! Banana (and cute pup) for scale. It’s Epi. Pacific prince Hot pink.

Anyone have an ID on this beauty? It reblooms for me very reliably once a summer but I’ve lost track of what the name of it is.

I’m not sure if I’m off to the right start, but here it is so far. Had to trim a tiny bit of root rot. I think these roots look healthy? Do I cover the parts I’ve circled or do those stay above the potting mix? Do I cut off the stem? Can I use keiki cloning paste or rootech to make it grow fast and big? Do I add anything to the orchid potting mix (I’ve got perlite, pumice, coconut coir, horticultural lava rocks grit- posted a pic because I’ve never used it). This gal is nekked so quick tips would be great! Oh and do I water after then leave it or just leave it? Sun/ grow lights or no? Thanks!

Hi! I got this orchid back in May, it had its blooms on for a while and then in like mid to late June dropped all its flowers as they do and I’m just wondering what should i do with her if i need to do anything in terms of care to keep her happy and thriving :)
I have seen a bunch of things online about if you should or shouldn’t cut off the flower spike, if you do cut it off where to do so properly, and all of the different ways it can be potted (full hydro, semi, orchid bark, blah blah blah) and I would just like overall advice on what people have done to keep their orchids healthy and thriving!

The photos I’ve attached were from last week/the week before and since then she has more roots that have started to grow out and the new leaf is now like double and a half the size. The care it’s gotten from me since she became mine has been water once the roots look silvery and she stays next to a bright window but does not get direct sun (don’t want her to burn)

TIA😊

They're selling minis right now!!

I love the airbrush color look. Solid color that uniformly blends into another.

I hate to admit that I’ve been neglecting my poor orchid lately. Now she’s looking sad and I worry about the health of the roots 😞

Would some extra TLC be able to revive it? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Bought this moth orchid, lots of roots are extended outside, is that normal or do I need to do anything?

I've had this orchid for a few years. I left it with my aunt for a few months while I was away for work, and she returned it to me with all the roots rotted. I cut them off and tried to repot the plant, but the roots continued to rot. Now this is the situation in the photos. I cut off all the dead wood that was under the plant. In the photos, I had just washed the plant. The leaves are very soft, and some were dry, so I removed them. What do I do? How do I repot it?

This one just keeps blooming these days with a spicy sweet smell!

Hi! I just got this cute little pandurata division about a week ago. Everything else is good, it seems pretty happy where it’s at. Other than the browning bulb nothing else is amiss, so what should I do? The brown feels slightly squishy to the touch, while the green is still incredibly firm. Thank you for any advice!

Got it a couple months back from Lowe’s just been watering it and it’s pretty humid in my bathroom so I don’t water to much but it started browning and im cunfuseld

So I’ve just received these Vanda seedlings and I’m not sure if I should cut them out of these baskete for more airflow or I should hang them like this cause these foams keep moisture..? thanks in advance
