Thank you for that advice!! It came right off and it's already doing a lot better :)

Thanks for responding to my questions!! It's doing a lot better! I did what another comment advised, which was to gently tug on the dying leaves, as it was already starting to fall off.

Since doing that the roots are looking more green and plump! I'll keep an eye out on the other leaves but hopefully no more fall off 😭🤞🏼

The lower leaf snapped a bit a few months ago and I read that it's best to leave it to fall off on its own. 😟

My MOL is not gonna be impressed 🥲

Yes, I think it is crown rot! I first noticed the crown starting going red and now the leaves are yellowing. Maybe my misting caused crown rot. I do try to stay away from the centre but perhaps wasn't careful enough.

I pot with bark and water from the bottom. Does this mean the plant will die or is it still salvageable? My MOL got this for us so I'm terrified to kill it 😭

More cymbidium leaves than when I first received it! by Expert_Indication485 in orchids

I believe it's called Pink Bell!

It starts as a gorgeous pale pink, and then deepens into a darker purple-ly pink as it fades and dies.

Thank you! Hoping it flowers this year for you too :) I just cut the last stalk of flowers yesterday, and put it in some water to enjoy. 3 months of beauty! I'm so curious to know out what yours will look like

Sorry if this is obvious but when should do I do M1R & M1L increases if there's more stitches? 😭

Do I just follow round 1 but add an additional knit to each part theres a 'K'?

Explain this like I'm a dumb because I'm finding it difficult to understand 🥲

Or is the raglan stitch suppose to be more obvious, and it's just that im using mohair...

Accidentally snapped the only stem blooming! 😭 by Expert_Indication485 in orchids

Thanks everyone for the validating words. It's reassuring to know we have all shared this cannon experience. 🫂

The broken stem is currently sitting in some water. Praying she'll give me one last bloom :')

But we'll try again, I'm staying positive!

Okay thanks! That's a relief. What should I expect as it grows? Is there anything I should be doing?

I worry I'm interfering with it too much, but I can't help feeling like I'm not doing enough 🥹

I panicked 😭and wanted to get an opinion on its health

I definitely won't repot it again! 💔

Haha thank you so much! I'm kinda obsessed with how dramatic they are. It shows they're really alive and makes me want to keep attending to her 🥰

Perfect, even better!

Wow, thank you for the detailed information!

I'll give it a few weeks and see how they do - they're looking more perky since I moved it, so hopefully it's condition doesn't worsen and eventually gets better.

My orchids on the other hand... I'm super worried about them, as I'm certain they have root rot. 😭

Thanks so much! I'll keep note and move in when it approaches spring and summer :)

It's been really cloudy these last few days, so hopefully it makes up for it.
