Want to know how my orchid is doing

[rcod09]

O.k So i have a orchid because mom really liked the scent of one she saw so we took care of her for 2 weeks and she was doing great but now she lost her flowers that where allready there when we got here so i'm a little worried and so i've been taking as much care of her and im re-potting her with my aunt's help who knows this stuff, but this is the condition she's inn now and i want to hear opinions, is she sick or something, because she has a tare in the middle of her leaf (the way i got her) and one little stem with one long leaf is a little yellow with brown tip...[IMG][/IMG]

Since it is a cattleya, losing the flowers two weeks after you got it is not outside the realm of normal, so I would not be concerned about that (especially as you don't know how long it was in-bloom before you got it).

I would cut off the blackened leaf tip, removing about a centimeter of green, untainted tissue with it.

Your plant looks pretty good to me. Ray's advice is spot on, trim off the black tip. The split leaf shouldn't be a problem, it happens. Keep us posted, and if you have any more questions, we're here to help! Happy new year to you too!
