That’s a thing I have do deal with many times a year. Since most of my orchids are kept indoors, I give them a normal watering before I go and I reduce the amount of light they get. I’ll turn off the...

I was about to name that shop too, but I can’t vouch for it as I’ve never purchased before. If you’ll also take community pots, carter and Holmes had a few for sale earlier this year.

Ahh my gold dust lost two of the biggest pbulbs but made up for it by sending out 4 new leads. I think it’s overwatering and too might light once again. I experimented too much with the limited...

I’ve got a few cattleyas that have growths sticking out, daring me to snap them. Mostly I just work around them. But some are pliable enough I put a skewer **in the pot, not in the growth** to keep...

Beautiful! Your pictures made me read about this hybrid since I’ve seen it while searching for other orchids online. Makes me really want one of my own. I’d love to see the color in person.

I’m curious to know at what point will this all come to a big mess of nomenclature for the scientists doing this. I’m all for reorganizing if maybe it’ll sort out in a few years.

I also bring my blooms indoors to enjoy. It’s my primary goal in keeping orchids. And when it rains heavily, I do the same. If it’s just a few days, you shouldn’t have a problem.

Maybe the leaves came into contact with something if you keep to it on a shelf or window. It does look like the damage is only from one side.

I’m not an orchid expert by any means LOL. But I live in a hot climate and my cattleyas are happy in bark. It just seems to retain moisture better for myself.
