I am trying to grow a cattleya orchid, but I don’t know a lot about them. I have been all over the internet, but they all say different things. I know that they have a special pot, and that the roots should dry between waterings. But does anyone know which plant food and medium are the best? I have saw sites that say to use coconut bark, charcoal chunks… And fertilizers… Ugh! 11-35-15, or 20-14-13… Help! I have a cattleya on the way and I already have a happy phalaenopsis (unless anyone knows a fertilizer I should feed him. 
) Help! I already have a planting medium that is supposed to be made for phal’s. Could I use that for the Cattleya? I love the cattleyas, and I want it to grow and be healthy. Any tips? Thank you!!!

Hi im having really bad luck with orchids. Up to date i believe i have owned at least 5 and everyone of them has died and i cant figure out why. Ive looked all over the Internet and got overwhelming results that i cant understand at all. I am just a novice at orchids and all i want is just a small and basic awnser. I finally gave up after all this time and now i want to try again and start fresh. If any would like to awnser the questions like; watering, pesticides, light, fertilizer, etc. that would be much appreciated.
P.S. Also everytime i got an orchide, a white residue that looked like dried up was covered on the leaves. If anyone has an awnser for that also, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I just bought an orchid (phaleanopsis). It had 4 blossomed flowers and about 12 bulbs. When it got home immediately 4 bulbs fell. The next day, one of the flowers died, a second one follows, and 4 more bulbs fell. The leaves seem really healthy. They told me that orchids should be watered once a week. I would like to know how to keep my orchid healthy and how can a "revive it". Should I repot it? Change the "soil"? Add fertilizer?
