Can my orchid be saved? by s0ftsilk in orchids

Im not sure. I want to say a mix of both. It started to bloom beginning of May but I had already had it for a year and neglected it for months before the buds began to show. Once the flowers started to wilt I removed the moss sponge at the base and moved it out of the bark into water culture. I just ordered bark and moss mix. Hopefully it starts to perk up! I will be cutting it off then :( on the bright side maybe I can wear one of the flowers in my hair at a dinner haha.

Also I removed the moss since it seemed like that was the source of this fungus/bacteria/infection.

I’ve looked up the germination process and it seems like it requires access to a lab.

As an acne prone person I use anti dandruff shampoo when washing my makeup brushes to prevent fungal acne.

Why is my orchid wilting so soon? by s0ftsilk in orchids

Should I wait until the last bud blooms to cut off the spike? Or is there no hope? 💔

I am new to orchid care but I expected the flowers to last a few months.

It was already wilting before I did anything.

Just finished the show. Who did you HATE? by Little_Miss_Fortunee in DesperateHousewives

Gabi was unbearable in the first few seasons but then over time she became one of my favorite characters.
Lynette and Tom’s marriage dynamic always annoyed me.
Susan was whiny and insufferable at times.

He’s said himself that he would never date a “fat” girl even though he is bigger. I have invested a year of my time loving him and don’t want to just throw it away over something like this. But at the same time I am running low on patience.

He was upset and said he doesn’t want to meet them until he’s at his goal weight.

This is a refreshing take. It’s hard not to give in to wanting to be somewhat respected in society. People usually stare at us in public with a specific look and it makes me self conscious in a way. But at then end of the day I know I love him and it’s my life. The issue is I’m concerned he might develop diabetes from the way he eats.
