Help with Mini Orchid yellow leaves
Default Help with Mini Orchid yellow leaves

Hello all
I would love to get some help on my first orchid. I already read the sticky, and just needed a confirmation if i am treating it correctly or not. Thank you in advance.
I had my plant for about 1.5months now, when i bought it was it full of buds and flowers. Unfortunately it is all gone and i repotted in bark mix since it was too packed with moss. But now.. the leaves are going limp, and one of them turning yellow. When i repotted there was some dead roots but i got rid of them. My orchid is facing east window with indirect light in my bedroom. I water when it looks like it needs water. I just watered it today so the bark looks wet. Thank you for your advice.

Glad you found us! It looks good to me! That leaf may just be dying off naturally. Sounds like you are doing right by it!

This looks to be in good shape! I agree that it may just be one of the older leaves dying off as the plant is growing. Sometimes when transitioning from tight sphag to bark there may be a moisture issue in terms of the roots- if the roots were not putting on new growth, then they will not have adapted to the drier bark medium. But overall it looks great!

I agree with the comments that it looks good to me. Sometimes flowers can blast (die before the bud opens) when there is a change in environment, often you can repot without a problem but not always, and it doesn't mean there is any problem with the plant over all.

The bark looks good and it's probably just transitioning to the new medium.
