Quick update: I don't think it's going to make it. The good thing is there are three new growths coming from all sides, so I think it won't even fit in that pot.

Is it ok to only have air circulation from the top?

Oh, it may have been me then, I did let it dry out. They were kept bare rooted in the shop too so maybe that didn't help.

Rotting new growth on grammatophyllum?

Hello.

I got this orchid a couple of weeks ago and repotted it. I think they got wet in transport to the orchid shop because many of the other orchids had rotting pseudobulbs. The one I picked...

Are my dendrobiums supposed to be growing so tall?

I've had these dendrobiums for about a year now and recently they started growing what I thought were spikes but in reality it was just more leaves. In the space of a couple of weeks they grew to...

I'm limited to sphagnum and coconut husk. I can't get decent bark. I'll wait a bit to see if I get other responses and if not I guess I'll have to experiment.

How do I go about separating this keiki?

Should I cut the pseudobulb where the roots end or should I try to detach the roots from the pseudobulb?
