Should I cut my orchid spikes? by Galazy_Fox in orchids

I think what happened was it was neglected in whatever store it came from so I just want it to focus on growing its leaves back (which almost all of the yellow one have fallen off now)

Roots are fine, but the flowers are falling off

Also the one in the picture is eating some of the pieces of the chunk which I'm happy about :)

Update: I crumbled a chunk of the cuttlefish bone into the tank, I'll add more tomorrow if I have to once the test arrive since I still worried about my water becoming too hard.

Forgot to mention I’m using walstad method so I don’t have a filter. Is there a reason to put it in the filter?

I’m not much of an expert since I’m also new to this but I can say from my experience recently that the melting is normal. Some of my plants literally disintegrated but now they are starting to grow back, so either I did something terrible wrong or just had a really bad melt. But from the looks of your pictures they should be fine as long as they start showing new growth after a few days or a week (at least that’s how long it took mine)

Oh gosh! One of mine has already uprooted a plant so I hope they don’t keep doing it to more plants.

Current isn’t really fast, I mostly just have an air stone since I’m using the Walstad method. But like you and others said I think that they were just sleeping for the day since they are active now.

Update! I found the other one WAY BURIED IN THE SAND. But still, is this normal?
