How to fertilize Fire Star Orchid
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Fire Star Orchid after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

How about this? #firestarorchid #orchidlovers #orchidorg #orchid This was given to me just as you see it. It's growing because it's starting to "climb" My question is should I move it to a smaller planter?

These got evicted 🤣 No they didn't I decided to put them out here because the aloe and pineapple were getting too big I noticed the alive was getting over watered because it was under a hanging plant and the water would drop directly to her. The pineapple well she is huge and her leaves are so long The fire star orchid is just not thriving where I had her so after several suggestions I placed her outside as well This spot gets plenty of sun but not scorching and when it rains that spot does get over watered Hopefully this will work I have several more to move but I need help They are too heavy #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #succulentlove #orchidlovers #firestarorchid #pineapple #aloevera

Roots or new leaves? This baby has been growing these for a few weeks and I was hoping for new leaves but I’m starting to think maybe they’re roots. Any ideas?

Beautiful plant! The roots are a little different than what you’re used to if you have phals
