My Orchid needs help!!!?
I have a phalenopsis orchid. i repotted it last year and i have not seen any growth since then. the leaves are dark green and a little shrivled up. but i see a tiny little leaf growing now. does that mean my orchid is still okay? it is in my kitchen by the window facing kinda east. what can i do to make it flower? it hasnt flowered since it came with flowers.
My Orchid needs help!!!?
If it's growing it is ok. Try giving it some orchid food and maybe repot it into an orchid mix, following the instructions given. They like high, filtered light. They also go dormant for a while, which is probably what yours did.
Good luck.
Reply:This is the time of year when it should make new growth and roots.
It may not be getting enough water or light.

Empress Orchid - is there a film coming out?
I loved the book Empress Orchid and I swear I recently saw a trailer for the film of the book, but I can't find any mention of it anywhere.
I don't think the film was called Empress Orchid, but I can't remember what it WAS called so I'm not having much luck searching for it!
A lovely 10 points to the first person to prove I'm not going mad!!

Reply:Well I'm going mad now. Spent ages on this question and at the end I have very little to show for it. All I know is that Oliver Stone bought the filming rights to Empress Orchid in 2003 but the only thing he has on-going at the moment is Pinkville which is about the My Lai massacre in Vietnam.

Homemade orchid seed sowing medium?
I'm entering orchid seed sowing and I'd rather buy orchid medium but none is available in Tarlac, Philippines, and I can't order online because I'm only 14 yrs old and no credit card and bank account yet. So a homemade medium recipe is very well appreciated. Thanks to anyone who cares and leaves an answer!,,,

Try this link to get started. Most recipes require fresh coconut milk but I guess these are easier to find in Tarlac than North Dakota.. http://www.kitchenculturekit.com/StiffAf... RScott

Phalaenopsis Orchid has yellow buds. Why?
I recently bought a new orchid, since i have had it, 2 new buds have opened, and i now have 4 total. the orchid has one spike, and their is a branch trying to start on the spike. About a week ago one of the buds turned yellow, so i was worried that it might have had a disease, and plucked it off. now the first bud on the new branch has turned yellow, in like a day, it was green. Is that just a part of its process, or is something wrong? i'm not going to pluck this one, and just see what happens, but all the websites i have found don't say anything about a yellow bud. It's not a weird yellow, it's one color, not browning or anything just turned yellow. the flowers are yellow, could that be it? but the buds that opened looked more green to me.. please help if you know about orchids.....
Phalaenopsis Orchid has yellow buds. Why?
the plant is turnings yellow? then you are overwatering my friend.

Any Orchid buffs about?
Are there any reasons for not potting more than one orchid together in a larger pot arrangement?
I appreciate that every year or so they will need to be repositioned due to the way they grow out of the soil but is this the only factor that would make having a larger arrangement difficult to maintain?
I have had a look online and in garden centres and any larger displays have either been 1 orchid with other plants, or more than 1 orchid still in their individual pots arranged together within a larger pot.
I'm just wondering if there's a bit more to it if these sort of arrangements are not available to buy (or not that I've found anyway)
Any Orchid buffs about?
Leave them in individual pots. There are lots of reasons.
If you were to put several orchids into the same container, their roots will intermingle - problems at repotting time.
If one gets a disease or virus, they all do.
You can not put orchids and other things such as houseplants together because they require different growing medium. If you plant orchids in dirt, they will suffocate.

Reply:I see no reason why you can't grow more than one of the same cultivare in the same pot.
Reply:You should not put two different orchids in the same pot as Orchids survive on a fungus in the wood chippings, and if you do then one fungus would attack the other
Reply:There is no reason that I can think of. Providing that both orchids are of a type that require the same growing conditions and care it should be fine.
You probably cannot find any to buy because it would be a very expensive display and difficult to sell.
Reply:i just don't think they display them like that.i can see no reason why you can't display 2 orchids in the same pot.try it like the woman said they go for around 40 dollars a piece around here they would be to ecspensive to buy 2 and i think they look pretty as one in one pot thats how they were made to be displayed.if you do plant two bulbs make sure you have enough room in the pot and good luck.
Reply:I've got two different phaleonopsis blooming at the same time in one pot right now. I guess it's possible that cross pollination might happen, but there's not reason orchids with similar needs won't grow together that I know of.

My orchid is wilting! Am i killing it?
I recently got an orchid and all of it's flowers are wilting. The night i got it (i got two orchids) i cross pollinated them, i placed a pollinia from each flower onto the stamen of the opposite flower. ONLY the petals that were pollinated are wilting. is this what happens when the pollen reaches the "ovaries" of the orchid? or am i caring for it incorrectly? it is a phalaenopsis by the way. someone help.
My orchid is wilting! Am i killing it?
You pollinated them! Duh! Now that they have been pollinated there is no more reason for the orchid to sustain the flower. It will let it die but it will leave a pod to release the microscopic seeds. The orchid itself is still very alive.
Reply:orchids are tricky that way i got some thought i killed them , turns out it was just the change in environment from the store to my house. and that they will grow back . but i found this out after i threw them away. so i have to get some more. give it some time and see what happens i would say.
