>>1223208I dont know is this is the right place to post this but Im gonna shoot my shot anyway
my mother recently gave me some white orchids because she thought they died, I don't know very much about orchids so I was hoping some one could help with this.
I got an orchid around November last year, and it was just a skinny stalk pinned to a pole with a clip, after watering it once(ish) a week it started blooming from late December to mid January. It only has four flowers, and it looks like one of the stalks (or what I assume is a flower spike? (I really dont know)) was cut. after about a month of it blooming my mother got another plant, this one has dying stalks, and I don't know if I can maybe save it or not. what I do know is that orchids need breathing room in their roots, i.e. Bark chip soil and maybe air holes in a plastic pot, and not as much watering, but enough to cover roots. I was gonna stop by petco to get a slightly bigger plastic pot and some more bark chips, and I was wondering if some one could tell me if I should trim them, buy some more items for the plants, etc.
Top one is the recent one I got, decrepit roots, and barely sits in its pot
bottom is the one I got in November, It has some damage to the leaves
