Quick update: I don't think it's going to make it. The good thing is there are three new growths coming from all sides, so I think it won't even fit in that pot.

Is it ok to only have air circulation from the top?

Hello. I've seen recommendations not to put orchids in a tight decorative pot not to restrict air circulation. However, I have this orchid (prosthechea cochleata) potted in a quite coarse and not...

Rotting new growth on grammatophyllum?

Hello.

I got this orchid a couple of weeks ago and repotted it. I think they got wet in transport to the orchid shop because many of the other orchids had rotting pseudobulbs. The one I picked...

Are my dendrobiums supposed to be growing so tall?

I've had these dendrobiums for about a year now and recently they started growing what I thought were spikes but in reality it was just more leaves. In the space of a couple of weeks they grew to...

Is this a cymbidium? If it is, I have a few questions

How do I go about separating this keiki?

Should I cut the pseudobulb where the roots end or should I try to detach the roots from the pseudobulb?
