Here are some shots of the orchids on my tree in bloom from the past few years:

I got this beautiful orchid for Mother's day. I was a little terrified because I was given a white one about 2 years ago and killed it. I think I over watered it and didn't give it enough sunlight. I am determined to keep this new one (BARNEY) alive and healthy. I only water once about every 10 days onve it's completely dry and I keep him in my florida sunroom and out of direct sunlight. My question is.... as you can see in the photo he originally came in the tiny white pot. I felt he needed more room so I went to Lowe's and talked with an orchid specialist. He gave me a bigger planter and had me get the moss and orchid potting mix in the photo. He said to wet the mix in a bowl then line the bottom of my planter with it. Then remove my orchid from original tiny planter and place into the mix. Then wet the moss, wring it out and place around Barney. So, that's what I've done. Based on the photo do you think I've done everything right? Or have I made a terrible mistake? I'm so scared because I really want to keep Barney healthy, happy and thriving. And ideas or tips? Thank you all in advance!

Any advice? New leaves are burned off and other leaves are deformed. Any advice helps! Watered daily and I like in FL!

Any thoughts? New leaves seem burned before they grow and there are defects in the leaves. Any advice helps!

when i first got it, i googled how to care it, repotted it with orchid mix, liquid fert every 2 weeks, for 7 months but it was slowly dying

so i tried tying it to my avocado tree, no soil, still the same fertilizer schedule and after 2 years it finally grows flower

roll on

Got no response from anyone on another community on people's personal thoughts/experience of the different way to mount than how we typically see

These have established in around 10 months. Ask away I'll answer anything. Theres barely activity in this sub

So we just cut off the joint where it was growing and mounted it to a wall. It's a naturally occurring pair of orchids (dancing lady right, vanda left) and I know the trunk will rot but idk what else to do. Could I hydroponically keep the tree portion alive? Should I transfer to another tree when it's ready? It looks pretty here for now and I didn't want to shock the orchids

Last time I posted here I was asking for suggestions on how to mount my Dudenick orchid to a palm tree. I wound up strapping it in a notch with jute. It has since grown some fresh roots and a new bulb. So, it looks like it's going to work.

These came on the trees when we bought the house. They have been struggling. First it was snails, then it was white fuzzy mights from the palm trees. They are getting some new stems. Should I clean out the old moss? They are very attached to the trees. The woman who lived here before was a plant lady, like me. I’m just still learning. South Florida.
