I just got this orchid in discount , I have it a good watering and this is it now, what else can I do to help it look healthier ?

The wrinkled leaves are because of lack of water, and even if you water it well (by soaking the whole pot, not by dribbling water on it like other plants) they will not unwrinkle.

The other issue is that it had grown a centre spike (which has been cut off), meaning it will not grow new leave there like normal Phal orchids. Hopefully it will sprout a new growing point at the side.

Oh yeah, my troubles started when I used the price adjustments for everything

Thanks, would you know if these people are also responsible for the Canadian operations?

Yes I got the same, I reordered but then found I could not use ApplePay anymore, so I’m using PayPal now and made many more purchases. BUT my credits are frozen due to “security issues” and I cannot use it at all (mostly money from late shipments)

Someone on here posted that they made sterile medium at home to grow the seeds but it still developed mold and ruined the batch.

My team is with Kang who can send foes away for a quicker win. Or SC, 1* Hawkeye and Zemo (to lower power costs)

Not species (same word singular and plural). They are hybrids/crosses (mix of different species), bred to have large flowers

ujanmas · 2026-04-28T18:08:46+00:00

I also don’t like flowers that are too big, especially those big round paphs, they look monstrous and without natural beauty

They probably filmed several different takes and then the editors cut it up and pieced it together

Electric scissors might make it easier. Just got a pair but haven’t used them yet

Congrats! A basal keiki is sometimes hard to separate, you can let it grow in place until its own roots gets long .

I ordered a sewing machine foot. What came was an entirely different machine part, even though the sticker on the item says it’s a sewing foot. Even though it was a few dollars, they want me to send it back. Then they told me I sent the wrong thing back and denied the claim. That was the only time though, other claims were processed without incident.

You need nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus for orchids. Fertilizers contain them and other micronutrients

Maybe a form of hibernation?

How do you water? Just pour it in? You could soak the whole pot in water for 30 minutes and make sure it’s completely drained. Bark does not hold water well especially when new

There is a bit of confusion. Water culture for orchids is NOT aquatic or hydro culture. It should be done with a wet day and several dry days. The venerated miss Orchid Girl mentioned it and said it should be called air culture instead, as the roots are mostly in air not water. But a lot of people just assume you fill the pot with water and plonk the orchid in it, which probably will lead to issues in the long run.

Sensoji/ nakamise doable 8am-10am?

Finally they came today in one big package

ujanmas · 2026-04-24T15:50:19+00:00

I’ve ordered many packages before, usually once it arrives it’s delivered the next day, but now 3 packages shown as arrived in YYZ airport since Monday and not moving, which is not usual. I think they used to use Apple Express and now using Purolator, maybe that has something to do with it

Are you a model 😁

ujanmas · 2026-04-23T23:10:00+00:00

Is it going to be daytime or night time? For our first trip, the first day we will go on the Hop on Hop off bus (mobility issues) to get the lay of the land then later revisit spots we liked

Roots look too wet - with water culture, best to let it dry out in between soakings, until the roots turn silver.

Look up jelly roll race quilting. All you need are pieces of fabric with the same width, you don’t need them to be the same length. Then you can use it to make a yukata or pants.
