Small black bugs with two white spots and slender red pests

Hi! Need some help with pest identification. I have a cattleya with two distinct pests. One is a very small, round bug that is black with two white spots on its back. I have taken a photo as best I...

Stephen, I saw one of your videos recently where you talked about pests (I can't remember if it was about mealybugs or scale...) where you shared the same sentiment...basically, if the plants are...

Thanks for the rundown! A bit of a coffee geek myself...just got into espresso but I suppose we'll stick to drip for the orchids! Very excited about the prospect of a solution that does not involve...

Ray, I'm glad you responded. In fact, I did apply kelpak in the recommended dose the day prior (for the first time, no less!) On the same plant, I noticed the beginnings of a root tip on an old root...

Laelia purpurata root splitting at active root tip!

Here's a first for me (but probably not all that uncommon). I know roots can branch, but I've normally seen them branch off the side of an established root. Just took a peak at a root tip and it's...

I have plenty of strong coffee around! I'll search the boards a bit more to see if I can find a good strategy. Haven't seen any snails recently, but good to be prepared in case they're hiding.

Roberta, absolutely stunning!!! I wish I could just throw all my orchids outside, but alas...Mother Nature has a different temperament in New Jersey. There's something about a shy-bloomer that makes...

I like root machines! A couple questions for you:

I've heard it can be a shy bloomer--anything you've noticed that increases the likelihood of it flowering regularly?

Unfortunately it was...

Hi Roberta, yes, the second eye on the other side has started to swell up as well! I was just so surprised that there was growth from the eye that I snapped off!

Not sure about relative humidity as I don't have means to measure, but the sphagnum is right there at the base of the rhizome and I have kept it fairly moist--it never dries completely, and I mist...

Laelia purpurata, new growth from damaged eye!

Here's a happy development for you all! The backstory is that there was a developing eye on my purpurata that for reasons I've purged from memory, was damaged and broken off completely from the...

Laelia lobata v. Alba - active root tips, but shriveled new roots

Hi again!

I recently bought a Laelia lobata v alba, bareroot and severely dehydrated with very few viable roots. The pseudobulbs were terribly depleted, almost completely flat. Potted it up in a...

Pot selection for large, rootless orchid

Hi all,

This is a general question, but sometimes when I buy bareroot (or manage to damage roots myself...), I end up with a fairly large division, with only a few healthy roots from the front...
