Do you think it might be a watering issue - getting really thirsty during bud development?

Ray, can you mix kelpak with fertilizer and do it all at once? Or is it better to apply separately?

Spray down

I'm guessing by "spray down," you mean with water - a shower?

wet or dry potting mixes and when to water post potting

Hello, I have a few questions about potting and potting mixes.

First, do you think potting with a wet or dry potting mix is a simple matter of preference, or does it impact your orchids?

Phalaenopsis Mini Mark 'Holm' - cutting the flower spike

I have a question about the flower stalk on Phal Micro Mark Holm. Do you cut it down after it gets really long, or do you let the stalk grow as long as buds form, like the Phal Bellina?

Thank you!

I was a little freaked out when I saw these little creatures. I'm hoping they're harmless - all part of my little orchid ecosystem of health and happiness. :-)

Thank you for chiming in!

I hope they are springtails! My orchid was re-potted about 3 months ago. I just looked in my humidity trays (which were dried up) and didn't see too much. Next time I water I'll look and see what...

Photos of Cattleya

To answer your questions: No, it was not growing new roots when I potted it. I'm not sure what kind it is, but it is unifoliate.

What's your advice on helping it to recover?
