Hi There!
To throw in my
I would do away with sphagnum moss altogether and only use if absolutely necessary. I have problems with rot using moss.
On your second one (woops, was that the one with the black spike?) Anyway, they all look pretty good.
I would remove the black spike as it is spent. The dark around the pseudobulbs do not look bad, but I would
gently peel back the papery covering (I don't know what it's called either) and ever so gently check and make sure nothing evil is lurking in there....such as scale, pests.
I believe both those type plants need to be watered thoroughly then let dry out before rewatering. You might want to look that up to be sure.
And the dendrobium....the last, but never least.... it may be nothing, not really sure, but looks like either you or where you got it was
misting or watering overly. Could be water related, could be more....time will tell. For Dendrobiums....don't water from overhead, and don't let them get cold. That combo is deadly. I would let it dry out good and watch it for new growth. I bet you will see some soon. The dendrobiums are very hardy growers.
Also, when you have a minute, go to the OB
Home section and scroll down. One of those pages talks about Dens. and another talks about repotting. Great stuff here at the OB. Check it out.
Hope I helped and didn't confuse. kiki-do
