Look at them, with their cute little rootsies! They are from my very first orchid and I am so excited about them.

Once they are big enough (3 roots, 3 inches, I've heard) I just… cut them off and plant them like I would an adult plant? Surely, I need to pay more attention when watering them to not over- or underwater since they are so small yet? And when would you first fertilize them?

Second picture is the mother plant's flowers. I guess since they are all clones, theirs will look the same? I plan to keep one and gift the others to green-thumbed friends who will take good care of them 🙂

    That’s super exciting, all the more so from your first orchid! Must be doing things just right!

    If you plan to remove them, don’t forget to condition their roots to regular watering before separation. You’ve potentially got months to wait for the smaller ones so it’s a good time to start. xx

    What!! How did you get her to do that and especially so many at once 😭😭 I know that you can get lucky and they pop these out of their dormant buds, but still 🤧
