I do think that I showed Sarco falcatus this year (don't see it in this thread, maybe in Vandaceous). Bur for the record, this bloomed in March.

I don't know if it's the weird weather patterns that I've had the last couple of years, but this year was pretty "meh" for my Sarcos. I still have some buds, so there may still be some that are...

Speaking only from my own experience, early in my "orchid career" when my "greenhouse" was the spare bedroom. It faced east, good direct morning light for about 4 hours, then the sun shifted and...

Don't separate anything. But fresh medium is important. The species does like to dry out somewhat, especially in cool weather. It can be kept wetter in summer. But air around the roots is critical -...

Neofinetia falcata sometimes loses fans, but readilly makes more. You have a couple of fans that look fine. Whatever it is potted in looks old, a repot likely is in order.

I think I see black hairs, which would be consistent with Den. cruentum. For size, just may be a young plant. When it blooms you'll know. That whole section of Dendrobiums has similar care (warm,...

Spraying the leaves won't do anything useful. Orchids take in water from their roots, pretty much exclusively. And it doesn't do anything for the humidity beyond a few minutes. So unless it is very...

In winter, don't give the nobile-type Dendrobium any fertilizer at all. They don't need it or want it. (If you fertilize them, they likely will give keikis - baby plants - instead of flowers.)

Ah, so it was recently repotted. Your Phals do like to dry out a bit more than Dendrobiums (in their growth time) So just keep that in mind. In winter, when the Dendrobium isn't growing much, going...

Small shoots also indicate (especially for Dendrobiums) that new roots are starting. And "new roots" is what you want when you repot - the new roots will establish themselves quickly. If you just...

Those are new canes. Keep the plant well-watered. That chunky medium will dry out fast and the plant needs to be kept most during its growth phase. If you want to change to a more...

No, the leaf will not smother the "baby". The big leaf will photosynthesize to provide food for the baby (and the root system). When the plant is done with the leaf, it will be shed. But it is...

That looks like sunburn to me. No need to treat - the damage will just dry up. It won't go away, it will be ugly, but won't hurt anything. Eventually (could be several years) the plant will shed...

Orchids take in little or no water through the leaves. As epiphytes that get rained on and then dry out, they have evolved to conserve water - the cuticle on the leaves tends to keep water in. They...

And don't give up on treating the plant... one is NOT done. You need to zap the successive generations. So you'll need to treat at least once a week for a month or more.
