I have a small clump of pink lady slippers at my cottage in Sauble Beach Ontario near Lake Huron. There used to be 14 large ones but over the years they have got less to about 1 or 2. How can I save them? They have always been near our firepit but maybe not enough sun since the evergreens have grown to tall? I haven’t disturbed the soil and there is a bit of moss on it. what could I do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
My dear Mary Ann,
Can I propagate orchids using my blooming Phalaenopsis orchids as mother plant? What could be the best fertilizers for this kind of orchids that is not so expensive?
Thank you.
Hello again Sister Mary Michael,
I want to direct you to this website to answer your questions about Phals: http://www.clanorchids.com/culture/phalcult.htm There are directions here about propagating this specific type and also about fertilizers. I really hope this is a good guide for you. There are also suggested resources at the bottom. 🙂 Thanks so much!
Grate tips. Thanks

Hi Peggy – do you have the latest version of adobe? http://get.adobe.com/reader/
My phalinopsis orchid is in bloom and all of a sudden it lost all four of its leaves. the roots are still green and white… can I save this plant?
Absolutely! Losing leaves can be totally normal because it takes a lot of energy for your plant to bloom so sometimes it will conserve energy by shedding leaves. Don’t worry. It sounds like your plant is in good shape. 🙂 – Mary Ann
Mary Ann:
I have been searching unsuccessfully for a website that properly describes different orchid types, with photos of not only the flowers but also the leaves and root systems. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
This is a decent site for flowers and leaves: http://www.repotme.com/orchid-care/Orchid-Identification.html I’m not having a lot of luck on the root part of your request. I’m so sorry. I hope the website above helps. – Mary Ann
Hi Mary Ann,
I have 2 bg problems
(a) my vanda is losing most of its leaves- I am doing all my best to save it by dumping it into water every morning for about 10mns, but it continue losing its leaves. pls help.
(b) my dendrobium leaves are turning red. is it red spider of it change in temperature.
Many thanks.
Have you read our Vanda article? That should help you.
For dendrobiums, here’s an article on dendrobium care. Bright light will make your dendrobium leaves turn red. It sounds like it’s getting too much light.
Thanks, – Mary Ann
shirley i dont know anything about vandas but the last thing you should do is drench it that may be the cause of leaf loss
i have a phal that has not bloomed in a year it has dull floppy leaves and a very small root system help my beautiful Phalaenopsis
Have you seen our articles about phal care? We also have a guide available on Kindle for phalaenopsis care. Those should be helpful for you. Thanks! – Mary Ann
Was just given a lady slipper in bud. Now has bloomed, how long will bloom last ? Gloria
Thankyou for this information. I have two baby orchids, cymbidiums, I did have three but lost one. My hubby has built me a lovely shadehouse with both drip reticulate on and a mister! I live in a hot summer climate, Geraldton .w.a. Going South for 2weeks for Xmas. How much water and how often do you suggest please? My family are giving me several mature orchids for Xmas so very excited! Thanks again, Kath
Here are some cymbidium orchid care tips. I hope this helps you! 🙂 – Mary Ann
Dear Mary Ann,
Boy! Do I feel silly… I thought I was missing out on some new incredibly earth-shatteringly timely information. Well, IT IS ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS. The only problem is I HAVE NOT REVIEWED THE INFORMATION in an unhealthy (for me and my orchids’) period of time. It is uncanny that you made this available to perspective new members and I right now am having trouble with my very first “moth plant”. I still can’t spell the formal name to save my soul!! So, I’ll pore over each page of 5 Mistakes AND Secrets Revealed and get to the root (LOL) problem. It is not a laughing matter to me…
I bought the plant last year and about two months ago it went bloom crazy, but is definitely taking a downward slide and QUICKLY!! Thank you so much (AGAIN) for all the information I’ve been able to gather since becoming a member. I know for a fact I WILL SAVE MY DEAR ORCHID’S LIFE BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR WISDOM. PLEASE KEEP IT COMING!!
Sincerely,
Priscilla Cooksey
Thank you, Priscilla. 🙂 I hope you are able to save your orchid. – Mary Ann
Thank you by the information Mary Ann!!
Thank you for reading! 🙂 – Mary Ann

Hi Josephine – It’s hard to tell you without seeing it. I’d suggest you compare to this link and see if you recognize your orchid in any of these pictures. I hope this is helpful! – Mary Ann
Hi , my husband bought me a white orchid , I have always had a love for these plats but been afraid of having one due to their beauty and my lack of confidence . I have read loads about caring for her and still I am not fully confident . I don’t know the best moss to order or the best fertilizer , I am concerned about the roots and don’t know if I should change pots and lack knowledge of the best compost or soil . Please can any one provide me with tips or wed sights that will assist me . thank you .
Hi Ashley – What kind of orchid is it, other than white? Once you know the actual type, you can tailor what you do for that specific type. We have quite a few pocket guides as well that are extremely affordable. I’ll put the links for all of them since I don’t know the type you need. But you only need one. 🙂
