Dumped orchids help please

Today my OH fetched me a couple of bags of orchids & minature roses that had been dumped by a florist to see if i could revive them,most of the look ok but i have no idea about orchids,i have re potted 3 with compost & bark mixed,dont know if they need compst though? as they came in clear pots with just bark bits? The others i have taken pics of to ask if it worth trying to save them,thanks x
Here are all the dumped plants

Are these worth trying to save??

This is one of the ones i re potted

Thanks for looking x

 

The one - top right looks a goer still. It breaks my heart to see things going in the bin like this. Same with good food at a restaurant or supermarket. One or two of the "exotica" chappies will be along later I would think. I'm gonna tag this thread as I would like to know more too,

Nice haul Joolz as Jenny says, let the experts tell you, but all worth a try.The mini roses should fare well anyway.

 

Are those Azaleas in the back row? I wouldn't ditch those, I'll have 'em if you want them off your hands

Im not sure jenny,there were some i had to chop the flowers off and 1 i need an I.D on,is this it?


I have no idea on orchids but their roots freaked me out

 

Hi Joolz
well they ended up in the right home .

the orchids will be fine , you will need a orchid compost IF you need to repot only cheap from B&Q and give them a rest in a cool room for 8 weeks and leave the stalks on as they should resprout more flowers from these , roses pop in the green house , when the roses have finished flowering give them a light trim all over , dont over water just keep damp dont feed yet .

The Azaleas do the same keep in the greenhouse and dont over water, bit early to re-pot them if needed , but lime free compost but you know that already

I dont see why they shouldnt all survive just as well this week and not last with all the snow

Thanks pam,the roses was'nt too bad,3 to 4 in a pot,some were mouldy so i just pulled them out and trimmed all dying parts off,hope they will be ok in the greenhouse i think they grew up in a service station snug and warm till they nearly met their fate.As jenny says its a shame they throw good stuff out x

 

Nice find you got their I was over the moon the other day when I found 4 dwarf conifers next to the bin at the pub I was refurbing. I would prob have a heart attack if I found that lot lol. From what I can see on my phone they look healthy enough. You can buy orchid compost from the GC but if you've already reported I'd leave them you don't want to stress them too much

 

That's a Kalanchoe joolz

 

Hey spruce i feel like someones dumped a new born baby on my step no idea what im doing but i will be at B&Q 1st thing in the morning for orchid compost,thank you
The kalanchoes were soaked through so hopefully they will pick up when compost drys out a tad,cheers for the speedy I.D Ive googled azaleas and i dont think any of the plant were them.

 

I'd be inclined to dump the Kalanchoe.
They dont usually do well once the flowers fade.

Any miniature roses will be fine along with miniature rhodos (azaleas).

The orchids look like Phalaenopsis which like it warm, so might have been badly chilled.
No rush to pot them on, best left until things warm up, no direct sunlight, and allowed to get fairly dry between waterings.
If kept warm and in bright indirect light, actually thrive on some neglect.

 

But some have dead flower stalks or non at all and the roots some have grown out of the pots or look like mush or white coloured some dont even have leaves

They are in the kitchen and the bath jwk,them liking warmth was the only thing i knew

Hi pete,i dont think they had been dumped for long,a few hrs maybe,is it not worth rehoming the kalanchoes? im not a great house plant fan and i need the space really for this yrs seedlings,orchids can go in my friends conservatory if need be thou
