i’m assuming just by looking at it that this paph is done for 😭 the roots are fine, but WHAT is going on with her stem??

Gongora quinquenervis with two 30in long flower stems with 25+ blooms on each stalk!

Was wondering whether I could get some advice here. I had a pseudobulb growing all winter and had it potted. This week, I noticed O was probably overwatering as my new growth seems to have died. I removed all medium to dry the roots as best I could but now wondering- should I repot? Or leave it for a week or so to see if new roots grow? Thanks so much for any advice 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Are these roots healthy or not? How should I proceed?

A few weeks back I received 3 species orchids heavily infested with mealy bugs. After a bath in 91% isopropyl alcohol and a few days later 3% hydrogen peroxide treatment of the roots all is well.

I took a piece of a root and loaded it onto an SEM. Some of the white stuff appeared to be villi in structure and regular repetition with the plant cells. A non-overlapping structure from cell to cell. I couldn’t find anything using villi and wondered if there is a distinction for this or if it is a different pest for orchids. I forgot to collect elemental compositions and can give that a go in the future when the chance arises.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Got this phal hybrid orchid from Bunnings yesterday, and after I got home I noticed that it has these yellowish… dust-like patterns on the leaves. I haven’t been able to find out what this could be on Google, should I be worried? I tried wiping the tops of the leaves gently with a damp paper towel thinking it could just be dust but it’s remained on the plant, and I don’t want to get too rough trying to get it off if it’s harmless. This is my second houseplant ever so any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi everyone. I inherited this large-ish Cattleya. it's in a 5 inch pot. It flowers. But, it's grown out into a large propeller shape. Ha. Recs on if I can, and should divide and re-pot into smaller ones that are in a more vertical orientation?

my inherited propeller-shaped Cattleya. Can I divide it?
