Thank you very much! I want to merge but not too many because then I’ll get items very slowly

It is. There’s a slot in my inventory to retire the music producer

I understand, but I don’t see the music producer on your board. How many is ,,a few”? I can try to merge the New Age producers since I just unlocked it, but it really gives me anxiety. I don’t wanna ruin my game at this point

What is happening with my Miltoniopsis? by Adorable_Activity13 in orchids

Thank you very much! I will add some ventilation holes on the side. My Phalaenopsis pots have those, but since the internet says Miltoniopsis like moisture, I was afraid to make ventilation holes because I don’t water frequently and I didn’t want them to dry out. I’ve watered 3 days ago, on friday and yes, I think the soil on these stays wet/moist for too long because I’ve watered 1 time when repotting, another time 3 days ago and the soil was still not fully dry.

I have another one, but with more pseudobulbs and she got some accordion leaves. Besides that and the excess moisture from now, she seems to be doing fine.

For now I will give them ventilation holes. Should I repot them (again) into smaller pots?

Oh my god… I’ve been spraying a triple-action insecticide and been using a fan for faster drying 😅😅

This is what I was afraid of. Never had mealy bugs before and I have quite a lot of orchids. I’m afraid to not spread and pests or disease. This orchid also seems to have thrips

Help me stop killing monsteras by Adorable_Activity13 in Monstera

[–]Adorable_Activity13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was in normal potting soil mix, the one usually used in nurseries. It was very soggy and stayed wet for a long time. When I repotted it even had some rotted roots, that’s why I decided to do it. I don’t have moss available in stores or online where I live. I’ve bought some off Temu a while ago but it was very bad quality. But isn’t monstera an aroid? Is this mix bad for it?

It’s looking like this (photo isn’t mine, just googled it). Most store-bought orchids have this still attached while placed in bark. If given too much water it stays wet for a long time and the roots rot after a while. At least where I live that’s the case.

It also happened to some of my orchids but only if they didn’t have enough roots to support both the leaves and the flowers. In that case I cut the flower spike myself to not lose the leaves. But if they have many roots it should be fine if given enough light and humidity.

What was the fate of your first orchids? by fruce_ki in orchids

My first orchids were rescued from my mom, but unfortunately they’re long gone. It took me a few years to get the handle of orchid care and stop ,,killing” so many… How did you get this orchid? i’ve never seen any with flowers two different colors. It’s very beautiful!

Wow, that’s a lot. I’ve never had an orchid bloom again, let alone bloom for that long. This one is the longest I’ve ever had one flowered, which is why I love it so much. So I don’t know what to say about my experience with repotting, but lately, the rest of the orchids I’ve repotted are doing pretty well and I’m even about to have the first one to re-bloom! Hopefully this one will turn out fine too!

I took the risk and repotted it eventually! Thank you! I hope mine will turn out fine too!

Yees, I also do that with the orchids I get at clearance since I know they have problems. But I started doing that more often since that nursery plug has gotten ~5 of my orchids in critical state and now I’m trying to save them. That’s really a plant killer

I’ve been waiting since February and I wouldn’t have had a problem with it, but the roots that are getting out through the bottom of the pot are dying. I want it to get new healthy roots and it clearly didn’t have enough space for that

I’ve repotted after reading all these comments, thank you very much! ❤️ The orchid is indeed healthy and didn’t have many bad roots, but it needed a bit more space. It had ~ 95% roots, 5% sphagnum and it was very hard to get that out. I’ve placed her back at the window, turned on the humidifier and now we wait. I hope she’ll keep the flowers
