I just bought a Orchid plant and, when I was planting it, I broke the flower off from the bottom on accident. Will it be ok and will it grow back? It broke at bottom.
The orchid will not flower again for another year, probably. You can put the flower stalk into water to enjoy the blooms for awhile. Just take care of the orchid, and next year you will get a wonderful surprise. This article will tell you more: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/orchids/indoor-orchid-care.htm
I have had this orchid cymbidium since Valentine's Day. I have followed all the directions to care for it, but I am worried I have messed something up. There were many blooms on her for about a month, then they started wilting and falling off. Then a few of the leaves began to die, and the stems are dried up. After reading many different sites, I see conflicting information on what I should do....I do not want to cause further damage.
It sounds like your orchids may need more humidity. Since the blooms have faded, you can remove them and the stems along with any other dead growth. You should also be seeing some new growth at some point. This article will help determine if the plant is still alive: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-to-tell-if-a-plant-is-dead-and-how-to-recover-an-almost-dead-plant.htm For additional help, here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/orchids/indoor-orchid-care.htm, https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/raise-humidity-for-houseplants.htm
I have an orchid who is as finicky as can be. I have him in my bedroom where he gets partial light at the moment. I had read that orchids do not need much sunlight but do need moisture. Its roots are fine but he is just slowly wilting in my room. I do not want to put him in the bathroom like some do, but somewhere that he can thrive and bloom. Should I put him outside? Keep him inside? What should I do?

I don't know what kind of orchid I have, but it looks like the moth orchid and had 5 flowers when I bought it for Mother's Day. Now all 5 flowers have dropped, a new leaf is appearing and I need to know what is the next step? Do I cut the stem the flowers were on?
Generally leave the stem on, because sometimes they sprout new plants or flowers. The most important thing to do with an orchid is to repot it into orchid mix if it's in sphagnum moss, which is the way most commercial orchids are grown today. Here are a couple of articles to help you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/orchids/indoor-orchid-care.htm

I have been given an orchid bulb with roots, which came from Burma, as I am a complete orchid lover and have several plants which are always flowering in my home. I have planted the bulb in orchid compost, watered it with rainwater, but do I need to provide more humidity to start the growing process? Please help, as I would really love to get this little fellow growing. Many thanks.
It's kind of hard to know about humidity, etc, when you don't know what kind of orchid you have. There must be several hundred kinds in Burma. If you're anywhere near a botanical garden, you might take your orchid to them to see if they can identify it, or if they can guide you to an orchid expert who might know about it. I do know it's hard to tell about many of them without seeing the flowers, but an expert could probably identify at least the family, and give you a general idea of care. Lacking an identification, I would kind of go for the middle ground - take care of it pretty much like you're caring for the others, and hope for the best.

I have been given three orchid tree seeds. How do I plant them and how do I take care of the young trees before they can be planted in my yard in Florida?
To start the seeds, soak them in water for 24 hours. Then plant them in damp soil about a half inch down. Keep the pots of sown seeds in a warm place until they sprout. Once they sprout, they need bright light and the soil needs to be kept damp (but not soaked).
What do I spray aerial roots with to keep them hydrated? Do I cut all the dry aerial roots off my Phal. orchid?
