Hi! This is my first post here.
Last year around august/sept my mother-in-law bought me an orchid from Ikea. I never had any plants before, but this one apparently didn't care about me being a total airhead. Turns out now I like it very much, to the point that I registered in an orchid forum, haha.
When I got it, it was in full bloom and only had one very big thick cane. Around february another cane began to grow, and in may two more. Now it is pretty big! Sadly i didn't know you gotta cut the.."sprouts" (?) after it finishes blooming, so I didn't do it and now i am scared of cutting it wrong or out of time.
I am a bit worried, and that's why I need help. I see a lot of dead roots and I read you should repot it every 2 yrs, so I was a bit unsure of when and how to do it. I thought about doing it in May, then the other canes started growing fast. Then I thought of doing it now, but then 2 of the new canes started growing buds!
In August the main cane lost almost all its leaves on one side. One of the new canes lost one of the lower leaves.
I read this was normal, so I didn't care much. But now (end of October - the weather started getting colder (around 0 to 5C and I moved it to another window so it wasn't on top of my heater) more leaves started getting yellow, so I am worried my plant is actually in distress. :/
Would you guys take a look at the pic? What should I do?
Buds are appearing in October - can I repot?
