I have a single stem orchid plant. There is a new green leaf growing but the actual orchid stem is brown (looks dead). Is the plant dead or can it be saved and how?

I dont know what kind I have. Im a “new” gardener I have always LOVED plants ans ESP lillys and orchids.*anyway* It grows uppward it is in a little pot like the size you would give your kids to drink out of, it has beautifull flowers on it, green leaves, but I want to make sure it reproduces and keeps growing. How do I do that.

I have seen orchids growing with no soil. This is how they do them in Spain. They are beautiful grown this way. The orchid is secured to the top of the glass vase and their roots grow below into the vase with no soil. They seem to thrive this way, is this recommended?

I recently bought an orchid from our local grocery store. It’s white and grows horizontal. The instructions say to water once a month but not allow the root to sit in water. I have followed the directions, however, the white flowers are getting brown dots on them. What am I doing wrong?

Many orchids can bloom 2 or 3 times per year. In order to initiate the flower spikes, it is important to grow the plant in an area where the night temperatures fall below 65°. It sounds like you’re describing a new spike. Read our ‘Blooming Orchids’ archive for more detailed information. Good luck!
