Long story: SO i went nursery hopping [again] coz i was bored. I found this phal [the phals are on clearance, cause end of CNY], couldn't resist and got it on like, 30% off. I got this british orchid feed as well. Got a net pot that was supposed to be for hydropots too, coz they didn't have the right size of clear plastic pots that i would repot into [sphagnum bad in my climate]. It had this little keiki growing too!

Update on my sick sunburnt Phal! She’s grown new roots, lost the worst yellow leaves, reversed some yellow, and is now pushing out new green leaves πŸ’š it’s amazing what a little time and care will do! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #orchids #OrchidLovers #phalaenopsis

Hi all, I’m new here! I ☺️ πŸͺ΄My plant Coco was once a beautiful orchid with lovely jewel tone flowers. In Colorado it is *very* dry due to our high altitude…so she dropped them all last summer. Now, she has new buds though so there is hope yet and I water her weekly. πŸ™πŸ» How do I give TLC during this transition? I did order some orchid-specific plant spikes to feed her tender heart. πŸŒ±πŸ’š

Hi! I’m new here and new to plants! Please drop helpful tips to taking care of an orchid πŸ™πŸΌ

I’m bringing my moms plant back. It was a beautiful orchid but the stem has died. However the leaves seem to be turning green again! Is there a way for me to revive this plant?

Why isn’t the old stem growing back after cutting it? (Circled in red)

This orchid lost all of its leaves and most of the roots were gone (only 2-3 small healthy ones remain). However, it still put on a flower spike. Will it flower without leaves? And can it recover?

What size pot do I need for my plant?

At the recommendation of @Seymour, I went to YouTube and found #MissOrchidGirl. She had some great tips and insight on how I could possibly save my baby. As a #NewPlantMom I’ve had quite an interesting journey, but I’m not giving up. Wish me luck #Greggers

I’m a new plant mom and was recently gifted a beautiful orchid. Trying to learn how to care for it. Instructions only said to give it 3 ice cubes a week but I’m wondering if the yellow and dying leaves are normal!?
