How many orchids are in an orchid lei? I am making leis for my wedding and need to know how many orchids I need to order to make them. So how many orchids are needed to make an orchid lei?

My orchid has what looks like roots growing out the sides of the stalks. What should I do, if anything? There is lots of new growth and shoots on my orchid. What puzzles me is that there are clumps of what looks like new roots growing out of them at points 3" and 6" up the sides of the old stalks. Sometimes the roots are in the same location of a new shoot that has started. Should I cut the stalks and re-plant the part with the new roots? Is this an indication that I need to re-pot the orchid? The orchid sure seems to be happy because I have never had one grow so vigorously, so it is hard to think about disturbing it now. What should I do, if anything?

How can I make my orchid bloom again? I rec'd an orchid as a gift several years back and it bloomed beautiful purple flowers for the first couple years. However, the last few years, it seems to be struggling. It grows and grows and starts new shoots off the old ones, but the flower buds shrivel up and fall off. Eventually, the new shoots partially shrivel up and well. I let the moss dry out and then water. It's in a South facing window that never gets direct sunlight, but gets plenty of indirect light. The excess water is allowed to filter through. I've used an orchid fertilizer in the past, but haven't recently as it didn't seem to be improving the blooming problems. Some of the roots are coming up out of the moss. I hope that this provides enough info that someone can help! I *will* choose a best answer, and appreciate any "stars" and good answers that I get! Thank you in advance!

How can I make my Cattelya Orchid bloom? I have 2 Cattelya Orchids- one for 3 years and one for 2 years now. I had them in Florida inside with a bright filtered light window and gave them orchid grow fertilizer about every week and a half-2wks. They've grown big (trippled in size actually) and seem to do well in orchid bark mix with spagnum moss around the top surface. I've moved to Indiana 2-3 months ago and they again have a perfect window and seem to be doing just fine. Good sturdy, green leaves, and I let them dry out between waterings and then drench them good leaching the medium each time. But, even using Orchid Bloom instead of orchid grow fertilizer, I can't seem to get them to bloom! What else can I do? Am I doing something wrong?

I have an Orchid in a pot without holes. Do I repot it now or after the blooms are gone? I just received this Moth Orchid for Mother's day.

I have really great blooms on it right now, but I am concerned because I watered it about three weeks ago and the medium is still quite moist.
