I’m just curious if you guys know where one could go for some clear orchid pots. I have a lot of orchids in need of repotting and I want to stock up on some clear pots.

I bought some cheap generic pots and a soldering needle, but it’s honestly so exhausting and boring poking holes in the pot over and over again. And because I do this outdoors so as to not inhale any of the fumes, it extra sucks (I live in Canada and it’s currently -24°C right now -_-)

Anyone know of some great vendors who offer slotted clear pots for reasonable prices?

A brand new spike AND blooms!

New growth coming in on this new catasetum that I got. The larger bulb just finished dropping it's leaves. So ideally once should stop watering.

Confused

I am tired of failing to help orchids thrive in my dry, radiator-heated home. Looking to buy a complete grow tent kit. What does the community recommend? I see a Vivosun kit that seems decent at ~500, but is there a better option? Cost and space are not an issue. Any suggestions welcome.

my dads girlfriend got this orchid as a present, anyone have an id for it and a good recc on potting mix for it as it just looks like its in topsoil, please and thank you!

I just bought this Oncidium Sweet Sugar to realize it has new pseudobulbs growing. It is my first experience with Oncidium and I am not really sure what to do since I am planing to repot this beauty. Any experienced orchid lovers to guide me through? TIA

She shot up a spike the minute I repotted her after she dropped her final blooms from when I bought her. But…now there are buds and the spike is still itty bitty.

I’m in Florida so temps are relatively mild rn and I have been misting my vanda roots thoroughly daily. However I just began noticing some yellowing leaves that seemed to set on pretty fast. The tips of some of the roots are yellowing too :/ This is my first vanda and I read that they need a lot of water so I was very cautious not to underwater it… but maybe I went overboard? Or is it possible that this could be nutrient deficiency or something else?

My absolute favorite among the rupicolous Laelias because they are petite, elegant, captivating. This plant was displayed by Francisco Miranda at the 2024 TBOS Orchid Show (Tampa, FL). Though not awarded itself, it sat celebrity-adjacent to Francisco's AOS-awarded C. Sparkling Spot (intermedia aquinii x rupestris).

i ordered two orchids from a seller and they came super happy and healthy but i got a lil worried when i saw the middle of this one. looks like a bloom from the middle that’s been cut. my question is. will it survive this?

Dendrobium ‘Minnie’

Could this be an epidendrum? I thought at first it was a dendrobium, but it doesn’t really look like my other dens. I found it at a local craft fair. The booth owner wasn’t around to ask, and the event organizer said the owner wasn’t going to be back for a while, but he had been selling these for $10 each. So being the chaotic little plant gremlin I am, I bought one without knowing was it is.

I’ve been treating it like a den, it’s in a 50/50 mix of bark and sphag moss and I’ve been watering when it’s mostly dry.

I'm currently looking into buying an Orchid from a store near where I live, but when I look at it there are small holes in some of the petals, and I'm curious as to what may be causing it?

The scent is a strong, spicy floral 🥰

The spike started to grow several months ago and turned brown on top and stopped growing.

Should I cut it off? She is currently putting on new leaves.

My Vanda orchid isn't growing anymore, I cut it and find this purple spot inside. Is it fusarium? What should I do?
