Hi thanks! No the yellowing leaf is a new growth. Medium might be a bit compacted but I've been loathe to report a flowering plant. Should I do so, or perhaps just add some medium on top?

Update: are those algae?

Howdy, a little update on this micro-orchid: it's still alive (at least part of it is), but I was wondering if the dark green stuff growing on some of the roots are algae? If so, are they bad for the...

What little tiny orchid could this be?

Hi, the local gardener's store was about to throw out this minuscule mounted orchid (leaves are 2 - 3 mm long) and I got it instead. Any thoughts on what it is and especially how to care for it? I...

Oh ok -- in that case I will just leave it as it is :)! And try to keep the roots more moist, by putting it closer to the humidifier.
