Orchid with Dangerously Thin Base: Support and Identification Needed

Your first orchid (purple flowers, stem 8mm top / 3mm base, leaves 8cm x 1cm, small 8cm pot) has a base too thin to support the stem. Base looks dry, not green. Leaves slightly wrinkled, yellow spots. You're lost.

Need Plant ID to Advise Properly

Sounds like a miniature orchid. Many look similar. A tag name would allow specific care.

Temporary Support

Insert a thin (2mm) stake deep in pot, tie stem loosely—just enough to hold upright.

Provide Name for Detailed Help

Reply with the tag name and I'll give exact watering, light, and repotting guidance.
