@@EdenMakers I got my orchid 5 yrs ago. My sister said "should you repot?" I said i dont know: "i pretty much ignore it. I give it about a tablespoon of water once a week when i dust; other than that its pretty much ignored. Ive never pruned it or fed it. I just put it in a bright light south facing window and it seems happy. It blooms every year!" Her question made me seek out information bcus i know zero about orchids! I can see ive been pretty darn lucky. Its the easiest, repeat bloomer ive ever had! Its got about 20 areials, that look very healthy. Bright leaves and blooms stay beautiful for 6-7 months. Every January through july? Idk, it bloomed in january and its June so maybe ill make it thru August this year. I havent dropped a petal! The only thing i guess i should check is the fact its in a glass, heavy duty non-draining pot! Go figure it needs holes! Maybe i should leave "well enough" alone. Ild be heart sick if i kill it 😥
Everything you say is so true. 5 years ago a got, once again, an orchid. But the difference this time was that we moved into our new house. I put them in front of my window kitchen and it did great there. Once it was bloomed out I cut it back on the stem and I can honestly say that in less than 3 month I have new growth. I have 3 different orchids now. They bloomed out end of august and my oldest one has 1 new growth, the middle one has 5 and the youngest one has 2. This in less than 3 months. I LOVE orchids
I've been searching for information about my orchids. I bought them several months ago in bloom and now they are not in bloom and I needed to know what was next. Oh Shirley, I'm sooo glad I came across your channel. You are answering my questions and I'm so grateful!!
I am SO GLAD I TH-cam'd how to re-pot before trying anything! I didn't know they don't use soil, and just bought some potting soil and a new pot (with no holes!) I also did not know that the roots sticking up were air roots! I thought the plant was just running out of room. I learned so much just from watching 2 of your videos. I can't believe mine has been alive 3 years! (And I give it ice cubes) I will definitely get the proper things to care for it now! Thank you!
EdenMakers I don't think my plant is very healthy. There's 2 "branches" that are brittle looking and brown. I'd been thinking it needed clipped but didn't know about that sort of thing. Ironically I was given the flower because my Dad passed away, and he is the one I would have gotten advice from! :)
I Love Orchids ! But for years I could never get them to grow properly until I saw this Video ! I’ve talked to Florists friends Who have them but Nobody explained this easy way to grow them !

A Bright room is great but if you live in an apartment or house with A lot of tree shade It isn’t possible ! Solution is Artificial Light not incandescent but halogen Lights My plants love that light like Crazy ! It doesn’t burn the leaves ! Keep about 6” away ! Flowers don’t need the light just the leaves ! Do everything else that Shirley says and you should have no Problem ! Thanks Shirley !
Thank you Shirley for the videos. I was given a beautiful orchid last December when my mom passed away before the holidays. I want to keep it growing as memory for my mother.

Thank you for this advice. After watching this video last year, and taking your advice, my orchids bloomed again this year and I enjoyed the blooms for 4 months. xxx
Hello there, Susanna! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate your kind words! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your night!
Absolutely! I’m thrilled to have found you and your channel...like I’ve said, it’s been so hard to find the right person to tell me what I’ve been wanting to know, but now I have! Thank you for getting right into it and giving such helpful tips. I absolutely love my orchids, though I’m still relatively new, they have brought me a lot of joy. I’m especially excited with my new little guys I’ve gotten from my local grocery store (when they are 75% off)! Some are in rough shape with sad roots, but I’ve been able to rehabilitate them and now they are looking so good. I’ve always wondered exactly where to cut my stem once the flowers are gone, so thank you for explaining that. Also, for some reason a few of my more mature orchids bloom nearly all year long... is that common, or is it a particular orchid that does that?
Thank you! I just got some from work that have no flowers on them. I knew they weren't dead because the leaves are nice and green, but I didn't know how to take care of them and get them to bloom next season. Orchids are one of my favorite flowers and this is my first time having them. Looking forward to seeing what kind of blooms they produce next season!

@@EdenMakers Your welcome. Yes there is many hard-working creators who many we know about thanks to You tube. I am happy I discovered your channel too. When in doubt I will ask. Thanks. Have a nice time.
So happy to know this! I own a small motel. Last year someone who was traveling through had been to Hawaii. They purchased a miniature orchid and unfortunately they left it behind. I have been raising it ever since and it has never bloomed. I’ve grown this from a seed/bulb just as it instructed. I hoping it will bloom this year! Thank you for this information!
Sheryl, thank you so much for a very informative instruction video. I just bought my first orchid. Your videos are very well done. What I do. I take ice cube trays. I fill them with water. And when thier done blooming. I also make a ice cube try mix with the fertiluzer/ food in it. Each week I give my orchids time ice cubes a week. This help with not over watering or under watering. This trick help people who are newly wanrmting to grow thier own orchids
My mother got some orchid centerpieces from a quinceñera and left them in the bathroom for decoration. They bloomed and rebloomed with many buds for a few months from the humidity and heat of the small room. She later moved it outside and they have not bloomed since. I want to grow it back to it's former beauty. Thank you for the tips!
Thanks so much that was the most helpful tips I've ever known about this flower, yes they're so very beautiful I never knew they hate dirt I called myself saving one by putting it into dirt not knowing it doesn't like that, and yes it did die. Now that I have 2 more them I'm doing research on how to provide for this beautiful plant. Thanks so much I learned so much.
E Thurston thanks for watching my video and for the nice comment appreciate it. If you have an subscribe to my channel please do so more to come every week!
I trimmed the flowers off my orchid once they had died, placed it outside and forgot about it, i knew the plant wasn't dead because of the green leaves and I didn't know what to do with it... its re-bloomed now without any attention at all :) thank you for the tips, I can now take better care of my plant.
Hello there, Hot Frog88! Thank you so very much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate your kind words. It makes me so happy to share this information! I'm so glad you find my tips useful!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!!!! Blessings to you and your family!
Brilliant video. My nephew bought me an Orchid almost 10 years ago, we dont do anything special to it other than water it, it has bloomed almost continuosly for those 10 years, new stems have appeared and we just cut the old ones as they diw back, we have repotted it twice and is now in a big pot. It lives in the kitchen window, in winter we move it into the big window as the sunlight is less in winter and the other window has a radiator under it and noticed that the orchid did not like it, so move it away in winter. I love my orchid and hope that it will last for a long time. I love your video as you eplain everything so well. xx
+Debbie Howe Excellent job keeping your orchid alive !Without trying you have given it the best exposure and conditions and it is thanking you by reblooming year after year. Thank you for commenting
Dear Shirley.The best live show I've watched ,you r v.infomative, encouraging, full of life, expressive and above all, your accent is Cristal clear and understandable and last but not d least, your smile is captivating. Thanks a tonne for this exuberant video.l shall share it with my friends.
Thanks very much. My mother in-law passed away June.21, 2018 and we were given orchids. All questioned answered about getting new blooms. They’ll definitely be around for years to come
Hi there, Christian. I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother-in-law. I am happy that you found the information in my video useful. Please let me know if you ever have any additional questions about orchid care. I hope you have a beautiful rest of your day.
Thank you very much!! This helped a LOT! I have been into gardening for a few years but just started with indoor plants. I was one of those who always threw them out after blooming but now I know better and can't wait to see mine flower again ❤
I shall be tuning in regularly, we have just been given two orchids for gifts !! You explain how to look after then clearly!!! Thank you Kenny and Marina , Liverpool, England xxx
Thank you, Shirley, no one would demonstrate and explain as a pro orchids expert like you ever. You give me hope and confidence in growing orchids as I plan to get some from the nurseries or online purchase. There're so many types, how about orchids with bulbs?
Hi Aileen, Thanks for watching and sharing your kind words. There are orchids with bulbs which are sympodial - these orchid flowers grow horizontally along a growing medium such as a tree. They produce a number of thick stems that are bulbous in shape. These bulbs are known as rhizomes and they spread out in a horizontal pattern from the original plant.
The best simple but important explanation on you tube!!! I have different orchids here in Japan ( some of them were given to me from a gardener - when they deco gardens sometimes the owners get rid of trees, plants not only cuz they don’t want them but cause the owners are old and can’t take care of their gardens anymore). Thank you
Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate your kind words. Your support means the world to me! I hope you have a great day!
Actually the first orchid I was given I had no idea how to look after. I cut the entire flower spike off right at the base, soaked the planting bark mixture through once a week under a tap... and it rebloomed several times with an entirely new flower spike each time. They are a lot more resilient than people think. But thanks for this great advice.
Thanks to YOU my orchid has 12 babies waiting to bloom!! It was in bloom from February-July, I made sure to not let it get a sunburn, gave vitamins, controlled water, cut at the 4th node. Went away for 3 weeks, came back and the stems are packed with babies. Thanks Shirley! I wish I could post a picture!
My orchids just do all this on their own. I don’t fuss with them at all. That’s why I buy the cheap orchids that are 2-5$ at the stores now haha. I get a surprise of colors each year. But this video is neat. I was wondering if there was a way to make them bloom MORE. But guess I’ve done this all by mistake already. Awesome. Thanks for posting this. I’m a flower n plant nerd. Grew up in Florida and remember my dad collecting Orchids in the Keys as a kid for my mom. Don’t see those ones here where I live now just these more common ones like you and I have. But they really are awesome plants. Had no idea they lived that long!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I truly appreciate it, and you have put a big smile on my face! I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks again for watching my video!
@@EdenMakersNooo! Thank you! Planning to get some orchids and this video might keep them alive for a few years. Never knew you could top and crop an orchid.
Always a good idea to water around the leaves and not let water sit in the crown. Thanks for your video, it's very clear and practical. I am going to share this with the people I work with who constantly ask me how to grow them.
Hi there, Dazza! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this video and very much appreciate you sharing it with your friends! I hope you have a beautiful day!
My orchild is so good..... it's not stopped flowering and budding for 2 years (when I was given it as a gift) ☺. Only let it have a good soak in water every other month. It's so beautiful.
I absolutely love watching you on Hallmarks Home & Family! You are such an inspiration to all of us novice planters! I got an orchid last year from my son as a gift and after it bloomed out I was worried it would not come back... now I know what to do to keep it for years to come! God Bless you! ♡♡♡
Hi there Robin! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! Your support means the world to me. Reading your kind words puts a big smile on my face! I truly appreciate it! Have a beautiful day, my friend!
Terrific video! Orchids are such an easy plant to take care of and I'm glad to see so many people interested. When I lived in San Diego, I used to actually plant them in the shade of my yard and it looked like an exotic rain forest because of it, especially when they started cross pollinating. :)
I saved many orchids from trash during my work at a computer center. Many women were throwing them. I got them (and I'm a man) and put them in soil and I care them once a month. I let them to go wild and then care them with cleaning the pot leafs, old roots and so on. When those women came home got such a shock that I even made them not to throw flowers again. And I have 10 of them and now are 1-3 years old..
I have just gotten a potted orchid plant recently as a gift so I'm planning to keep it for a long time! This video will surely be useful in the future. Thank you!
Yay! Reading your comment makes my day!!!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and provide me with this wonderful feedback! The pleasure is mine to share this information with you. Have a blessed day!
Thankyou for explaining it slowly and clearly. I wonder why people throw away their orchid after it finish it's blooms. For me the real joy comes from seeing my orchid growing each day and the anticipation for blooms again. Surely it's rewarding.
I bought an orchid on clearance at the grocery store last spring. It wasn’t doing so well but finished blooming and then wilted completely, the flowers died, the stem holding up the flowers shriveled up, but the leaves were still green and looked healthy at the bottom, which surprised me, as I had believed I killed the plant by overwatering. It came in a tiny plastic pot, so I transferred the root system/leaves (what was left of the plant) to a clay pot that I had been using for a succulent that died. I didn’t change the soil and it still had pebbles I had put on the bottom before for the succulent to drain. I added some orchid chips at the top that I had from a terrarium and fake moss. And the plant (knock on wood) hasn’t died since. But it also hasn’t bloomed either. It’s been about 8 months and it’s grown some long roots or stems that stretch all over the place. The leaves look healthy and I’m very amazed I haven’t killed the plant by overwatering or lack of sunlight or issues with heat. I live in Colorado, and my orchid lives in a south facing windowsill in my apartment that doesn’t actually get much light, and I water it whenever I feel like it, which tends to be every couple days, but when I do water it I always water it so much that the water drains into the bottom pot part. I have a lot of fondness for my little orchid plant even if it still hasn’t bloomed since I first got it because even my mother who is an excellent green thumb hasn’t been able to keep orchid she keeps buying from the store alive. I hope my plant can bloom again eventually but even if it doesn’t I enjoy seeing new roots or stems poke out from the bottom slowly and waywardly spread out. But thank you for this video, it gave me a lot of helpful tips and helps me realize that I was actually doing more right than I thought I was, especially because the window it lives in is bright but never gets direct light and the temperature changes quite drastically, and the pebbles in the bottom of the pot that were there for the precious succulent probably are helping it retain humidity. I doubt I’ll try fertilizing it because I’m sure I’d poison it accidentally, but even if it doesn’t bloom, like I said, I am very pleased with my little robust orchid plant.
Hi Sage. I love how you delight in your little orchid and all it's phases of life. You may end up with a new flower but it really depends on that temperature change at night and the feeding. In any case, please keep me posted on your orchid!
Great information. In the Caribbean here, my orchids are hanging. I water, three times a week, they are indirect sun light. My orchids are constantly reblooming.
You explained it very great stagey stagey my orchid is not blooming it's been a year I will definitely use your ideas hope it bloom again cant wait to see the beauty of it and I really dont wanna buy more I like to see the one I have already to bloom that's more loving to see then buy another .
Congratulations for these awesome orchids!!!I have 17 of them,and l love look after them!I call these "my little girls"!One question:A white of them ,has flowers the last two years ,keeps them and continues with new flowers.Is this normal?I think this orchid is really happy!Thanking in anticipation!Hugs from Greece.

@@EdenMakers I live in Wisconsin and have two orchids that just finished blooming. I would like to try and rebloom them but it would be difficult to get a 10°-15° temperature difference (day to night) if I keep them in their current location. Could I put them in my basement at night where the temperature is about 10° cooler and bring them up to the first floor during the daytime? Thank you much for your help. I know my orchids appreciate your assistance as well. 😊
@@EdenMakers oh yes. Actually right now at night it drops down to high 40s outside at night and inside it's always 70°. During the daytime right now temps get up to high 60s low 70s.
thankful for this video i had line in big pots and normal flower pots and dirts. i poured old white wine by accident in one plant and i got 3 flowers in one cluster 😂. the others have nice greens but no flower. Now i know how to treat them. i will repot the ones without flower properly and see what happens. thank you for your video.
Comprehensive and specific tips explaining the underlying reasons. Describing the origins and natural environment of orchids was insightful and interesting--i had wondered how orchids survive without dirt.
I got my orchid 5 yrs ago. My sister said "should you repot?" I said i dont know: "i pretty much ignore it. I give it about a tablespoon of water once a week when i dust; other than that its pretty much ignored. Ive never pruned it or fed it. I just put it in a bright light south facing window and it seems happy. It blooms every year!" Her question made me seek out information bcus i know zero about orchids! I can see ive been pretty darn lucky. Its the easiest, repeat bloomer ive ever had! Its got about 20 areials, that look very healthy. Bright leaves and blooms stay beautiful for 6-7 months. Every January through july? Idk, it bloomed in january and its June so maybe ill make it thru August this year. I havent dropped a petal! The only thing i guess i should check is the fact its in a glass, heavy duty non-draining pot! Go figure it needs holes! Maybe i should leave "well enough" alone. Ild be heart sick if i kill it 😥
I've done much the same nothing. Till I started watching how to look after them... now it makes me question what I haven't been doing. I have since purchased a few more that I have thought of doing more for so these new ones flower again. :) My last one to flower had a triple spike that had a massive amount of flowers on, which lasted months and months.
You are welcome Teresa~ Thanks for watching I invite you to watch my live video that was taped last week, called, "Ask Shirley!" You will learn a lot. Here's the link! th-cam.com/video/fLLXRHwjOaU/w-d-xo.html
Thank You! A friend gave me 2 orchids and I don’t know what I’m doing. I say this because each week I sit them in water to water them. Time to invest in them. Thanks again Shirley and hostess.
Thank you. We have always wanted to know how to get the our Orchid/s re-bloom, we even attended an Orchid class in Armstrong Nursery here in SoCal where we live. We followed EVERY step we learned in the class, but the poor Orchid DID NOT survive, so we gave up. My wife purchased another just last week we will try your method...
I have more hope! This is the second video I've watched on orchid care. Both videos were by you. I am hoping I keep mine alive long enough to pass down to my now, 10 year old daughter one day long down the road!
Thank you! I bought my orchid on clearance at Walmart over a month ago.The leaves looked good but it was just a stick with the stake. I’ve since repotted it with orchid bark and moss. I just noticed today that there is a new leaf coming in. Now that I know to trim it down, I’m going to do so. I’m excited to watch it grow.
Great show! Watched a yr ago but needed a refresher, today I discovered a new sprouting stem/cane ! Hey Shirley can I ask a q about browning roots, should they be cut back to the green or just left alone ?!
Hi Sam, thanks for watching! You should definitely not remove the roots. There's a good chance you'll harm the plant or introduce a dangerous virus. Trim an orchid root or stem only if it's dry and you're certain it's dead, but work carefully to avoid cutting too deep and harming the plant.
Thank you!! Great video!! I have a mini orchid for 5-6 years now...very sentimental to me as my niece gifted it and it's been blooming every year! I don't have a green thumb, but after watching this I'm considering buying myself a normal sized one. 😊👍

I agree she has a great personality for this, easy to follow
So happy to know this! I own a small motel. Last year someone who was traveling through had been to Hawaii. They purchased a miniature orchid and unfortunately they left it behind. I have been raising it ever since and it has never bloomed. I’ve grown this from a seed/bulb just as it instructed. I hoping it will bloom this year! Thank you for this information!
My pleasure, Paige! Thanks for sharing your feedback with me.
Sheryl, thank you so much for a very informative instruction video. I just bought my first orchid. Your videos are very well done. What I do. I take ice cube trays. I fill them with water. And when thier done blooming. I also make a ice cube try mix with the fertiluzer/ food in it. Each week I give my orchids time ice cubes a week. This help with not over watering or under watering. This trick help people who are newly wanrmting to grow thier own orchids
Hi Kyle, thanks for sharing that information and for watching! Have a great day!
My mother got some orchid centerpieces from a quinceñera and left them in the bathroom for decoration. They bloomed and rebloomed with many buds for a few months from the humidity and heat of the small room.
She later moved it outside and they have not bloomed since. I want to grow it back to it's former beauty. Thank you for the tips!
My pleasure. Good luck.
Thanks so much that was the most helpful tips I've ever known about this flower, yes they're so very beautiful I never knew they hate dirt I called myself saving one by putting it into dirt not knowing it doesn't like that, and yes it did die. Now that I have 2 more them I'm doing research on how to provide for this beautiful plant. Thanks so much I learned so much.

Thank you for tagging a friend.
Shirley, you're such a POSITIVE AND ENERGETIC PERSON! I LOVE your vibes! And your tutorial was so helpful! Thanks! Kisses!
Thank you for the compliment.
I trimmed the flowers off my orchid once they had died, placed it outside and forgot about it, i knew the plant wasn't dead because of the green leaves and I didn't know what to do with it... its re-bloomed now without any attention at all :) thank you for the tips, I can now take better care of my plant.
Hello there, Hot Frog88! Thank you so very much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate your kind words. It makes me so happy to share this information! I'm so glad you find my tips useful!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!!!! Blessings to you and your family!
Brilliant video. My nephew bought me an Orchid almost 10 years ago, we dont do anything special to it other than water it, it has bloomed almost continuosly for those 10 years, new stems have appeared and we just cut the old ones as they diw back, we have repotted it twice and is now in a big pot. It lives in the kitchen window, in winter we move it into the big window as the sunlight is less in winter and the other window has a radiator under it and noticed that the orchid did not like it, so move it away in winter. I love my orchid and hope that it will last for a long time. I love your video as you eplain everything so well. xx
+Debbie Howe Excellent job keeping your orchid alive !Without trying you have given it the best exposure and conditions and it is thanking you by reblooming year after year. Thank you for commenting
Dear Shirley.The best live show I've watched ,you r v.infomative, encouraging, full of life, expressive and above all, your accent is Cristal clear and understandable and last but not d least, your smile is captivating.
Thanks a tonne for this exuberant video.l shall share it with my friends.
Hi Sujaya girl! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your helpful feedback. I am very happy you found my video helpful and thanks for sharing!
I love your enthusiasm and passion, you certainly know your orchids.
Thank you for your comment, RADCOMJ1 ;-)
Thanks very much. My mother in-law passed away June.21, 2018 and we were given orchids. All questioned answered about getting new blooms. They’ll definitely be around for years to come
Hi there, Christian. I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother-in-law. I am happy that you found the information in my video useful. Please let me know if you ever have any additional questions about orchid care. I hope you have a beautiful rest of your day.
Thank you very much!! This helped a LOT! I have been into gardening for a few years but just started with indoor plants. I was one of those who always threw them out after blooming but now I know better and can't wait to see mine flower again ❤
My pleasure, Melissa! I am happy you found my video helpful! Thanks for watching.
I shall be tuning in regularly, we have just been given two orchids for gifts !!
You explain how to look after then clearly!!! Thank you Kenny and Marina , Liverpool, England xxx
My pleasure, Kenny! I wish you the best on your new Orchids!
I love how you talk about them with passion and love.
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your comment! Thank you so much for watching my video! I hope you will subscribe and continue to follow me!
Thank you, Shirley, no one would demonstrate and explain as a pro orchids expert like you ever. You give me hope and confidence in growing orchids as I plan to get some from the nurseries or online purchase. There're so many types, how about orchids with bulbs?
Hi Aileen, Thanks for watching and sharing your kind words. There are orchids with bulbs which are sympodial - these orchid flowers grow horizontally along a growing medium such as a tree. They produce a number of thick stems that are bulbous in shape. These bulbs are known as rhizomes and they spread out in a horizontal pattern from the original plant.
The best simple but important explanation on you tube!!! I have different orchids here in Japan ( some of them were given to me from a gardener - when they deco gardens sometimes the owners get rid of trees, plants not only cuz they don’t want them but cause the owners are old and can’t take care of their gardens anymore). Thank you
I'm so happy you appreciate my video! More to come.
Wow...

Thank you 😊 Shirley !!! This has to be and most comple comprehensive “orchid help”. You’re the best ! 💕💕
Thank you for taking the time to write this nice comment Coumba. I hope you subscribed!!!!
Actually the first orchid I was given I had no idea how to look after. I cut the entire flower spike off right at the base, soaked the planting bark mixture through once a week under a tap... and it rebloomed several times with an entirely new flower spike each time. They are a lot more resilient than people think. But thanks for this great advice.
That gives me hope for my plant :-)
Hi David. Thanks for sharing your orchid experience.
Hi Nessa. There is always hope with orchids.
Thanks, Shirley. Those are really helpful tips, clearly delivered and summarised.
Francis Bacon Thank you! I appreciate your comment!
She's beautiful as orchid flowers
8 year old very nice of you, thank you.
Thanks to YOU my orchid has 12 babies waiting to bloom!! It was in bloom from February-July, I made sure to not let it get a sunburn, gave vitamins, controlled water, cut at the 4th node. Went away for 3 weeks, came back and the stems are packed with babies. Thanks Shirley! I wish I could post a picture!
Yay! Love to hear that, Sara! Feel free to post any pictures on my Facebook page "Edenmakers by Shirley Bovshow".
Great! I'll do that right now!
Sounds good!
Awesome!!!
Thank you for that. I still have three flowers left, so my mission is to keep it alive for the next 50 years. You're a lovely Orchid too. X
Thank you and good luck with your orchid. You can do it!
My orchids just do all this on their own. I don’t fuss with them at all. That’s why I buy the cheap orchids that are 2-5$ at the stores now haha. I get a surprise of colors each year. But this video is neat. I was wondering if there was a way to make them bloom MORE. But guess I’ve done this all by mistake already. Awesome. Thanks for posting this. I’m a flower n plant nerd. Grew up in Florida and remember my dad collecting Orchids in the Keys as a kid for my mom. Don’t see those ones here where I live now just these more common ones like you and I have. But they really are awesome plants. Had no idea they lived that long!
Hi! Yes, possibly they can bloom even more, if you give them the ideal conditions, feed them on schedule, the rest is genetics!
So cool, chill, collected, and positive. Great attitude. No wonder your flowers bloom so great.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I truly appreciate it, and you have put a big smile on my face! I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks again for watching my video!
@@EdenMakersNooo! Thank you! Planning to get some orchids and this video might keep them alive for a few years. Never knew you could top and crop an orchid.
My pleasure! Good luck with your Orchids.
Very beautiful explanation, short and sweet.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Nasrin.
Always a good idea to water around the leaves and not let water sit in the crown. Thanks for your video, it's very clear and practical. I am going to share this with the people I work with who constantly ask me how to grow them.
Hi there, Dazza! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this video and very much appreciate you sharing it with your friends! I hope you have a beautiful day!
Oh may Wow so very beautiful orkids

My orchild is so good..... it's not stopped flowering and budding for 2 years (when I was given it as a gift) ☺. Only let it have a good soak in water every other month. It's so beautiful.
Hi Elisa, I am happy to hear your Orchid is doing well. Good work!
@@EdenMakers but I've got 10 in dormancy producing leaves or not doing anything 😔
@@emaartamor Just follow my instructions on the video and they should bloom eventually!
Very well explained. Simple and to the point.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Gauri.
Thank you for this video! I would always throw away orchids that I would get as a gift, thinking it died. Now I am going to buy one.😊
Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I am so happy that this is inspiring you to buy an orchid! :D
Just got my first orchid for mother's Day. I have no idea what to do, and your video I found soo helpful. Thanknyou !!!
Congrats on your new orchid, Erin. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your new orchid!
I absolutely love watching you on Hallmarks Home & Family!
You are such an inspiration to all of us novice planters!
I got an orchid last year from my son as a gift and after it bloomed out I was worried it would not come back... now I know what to do to keep it for years to come!
God Bless you! ♡♡♡

imsleepingbeauty You can do it!
they had no idea what they threw away. i decided never to make a gift of orchids unless i know they are educated in orchids.
@@madeleineromulus9412 Amen.. same goes with pets
Aaaahhh good luck. Wish I can find one. I'm trying to bloom mine
Ho tagliato cosi la mia orchidea si stanno formando dei keiki e buono o no?
Your energy and enthusiasm is super contagious, love it thank you. I learned very much.
Thanks for watching! I am so happy you found my video helpful and that you learned something new.
This video is more understandable than I had seen. I just recently fell in love with Orchids. I am learning so much!
That's great news Shoryo! Good luck with your orchids. I have a video on Cymbidiums as well, and will be posting how to repot an orchid soon!
Thank you for sharing your experience with Orchids. Nice & Pretty shades you selected . Your matching Shirt making video more attractive.
I appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching!
My husband just bought me my first orchid. Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.
Yay! Now you know what to do!
Terrific video! Orchids are such an easy plant to take care of and I'm glad to see so many people interested. When I lived in San Diego, I used to actually plant them in the shade of my yard and it looked like an exotic rain forest because of it, especially when they started cross pollinating. :)
Christopher Westfall Sounds like a beautiful garden Christopher. Thanks for commenting and watch my video
I didn’t know about the temperature change. Thanks!
Hi! My pleasure and thanks for watching!
I saved many orchids from trash during my work at a computer center. Many women were throwing them. I got them (and I'm a man) and put them in soil and I care them once a month. I let them to go wild and then care them with cleaning the pot leafs, old roots and so on. When those women came home got such a shock that I even made them not to throw flowers again. And I have 10 of them and now are 1-3 years old..
That's a great story Me-hi! You must live in a great climate for orchids. I could not grow orchids outdoors in my area- too dry and hot!
I have just gotten a potted orchid plant recently as a gift so I'm planning to keep it for a long time! This video will surely be useful in the future. Thank you!
Yay! Reading your comment makes my day!!!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and provide me with this wonderful feedback! The pleasure is mine to share this information with you. Have a blessed day!
Thankyou for explaining it slowly and clearly. I wonder why people throw away their orchid after it finish it's blooms. For me the real joy comes from seeing my orchid growing each day and the anticipation for blooms again. Surely it's rewarding.
My pleasure, Jason! I am happy for your success with your orchid. Thanks for watching!
Mine is 7 years old and it is super Happy by the sink window.
That's wonderful! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I hope you have a great day!
I bought an orchid on clearance at the grocery store last spring. It wasn’t doing so well but finished blooming and then wilted completely, the flowers died, the stem holding up the flowers shriveled up, but the leaves were still green and looked healthy at the bottom, which surprised me, as I had believed I killed the plant by overwatering. It came in a tiny plastic pot, so I transferred the root system/leaves (what was left of the plant) to a clay pot that I had been using for a succulent that died. I didn’t change the soil and it still had pebbles I had put on the bottom before for the succulent to drain. I added some orchid chips at the top that I had from a terrarium and fake moss. And the plant (knock on wood) hasn’t died since. But it also hasn’t bloomed either. It’s been about 8 months and it’s grown some long roots or stems that stretch all over the place. The leaves look healthy and I’m very amazed I haven’t killed the plant by overwatering or lack of sunlight or issues with heat. I live in Colorado, and my orchid lives in a south facing windowsill in my apartment that doesn’t actually get much light, and I water it whenever I feel like it, which tends to be every couple days, but when I do water it I always water it so much that the water drains into the bottom pot part. I have a lot of fondness for my little orchid plant even if it still hasn’t bloomed since I first got it because even my mother who is an excellent green thumb hasn’t been able to keep orchid she keeps buying from the store alive. I hope my plant can bloom again eventually but even if it doesn’t I enjoy seeing new roots or stems poke out from the bottom slowly and waywardly spread out. But thank you for this video, it gave me a lot of helpful tips and helps me realize that I was actually doing more right than I thought I was, especially because the window it lives in is bright but never gets direct light and the temperature changes quite drastically, and the pebbles in the bottom of the pot that were there for the precious succulent probably are helping it retain humidity. I doubt I’ll try fertilizing it because I’m sure I’d poison it accidentally, but even if it doesn’t bloom, like I said, I am very pleased with my little robust orchid plant.
Hi Sage. I love how you delight in your little orchid and all it's phases of life. You may end up with a new flower but it really depends on that temperature change at night and the feeding. In any case, please keep me posted on your orchid!
I’m growing from my babies that grew from mother plant that died. But now I’m getting great blooms
That's wonderful Debbie. Enjoy!
i watch your home and family with my coffee. My mom had several orchid plants for over 50 years.

@@EdenMakers I live in Wisconsin and have two orchids that just finished blooming. I would like to try and rebloom them but it would be difficult to get a 10°-15° temperature difference (day to night) if I keep them in their current location. Could I put them in my basement at night where the temperature is about 10° cooler and bring them up to the first floor during the daytime? Thank you much for your help. I know my orchids appreciate your assistance as well. 😊
@@mikekin5806 Is there any time of year in your area where there is a 10-15 degree temperature difference between inside and outside?
@@EdenMakers oh yes. Actually right now at night it drops down to high 40s outside at night and inside it's always 70°. During the daytime right now temps get up to high 60s low 70s.
The night temps may be okay. Keep an eye on your orchid if they dip lower than this at night. You don't want freeze damage.
thankful for this video i had line in big pots and normal flower pots and dirts. i poured old white wine by accident in one plant and i got 3 flowers in one cluster 😂. the others have nice greens but no flower. Now i know how to treat them. i will repot the ones without flower properly and see what happens. thank you for your video.
My pleasure, Madeleine! Thanks so much for watching!
Comprehensive and specific tips explaining the underlying reasons. Describing the origins and natural environment of orchids was insightful and interesting--i had wondered how orchids survive without dirt.
Thank you for your insightful feedback. I'm pleased you enjoyed my Orchid video!
I got my orchid 5 yrs ago. My sister said "should you repot?" I said i dont know:
"i pretty much ignore it. I give it about a tablespoon of water once a week when i dust; other than that its pretty much ignored. Ive never pruned it or fed it. I just put it in a bright light south facing window and it seems happy. It blooms every year!"
Her question made me seek out information bcus i know zero about orchids! I can see ive been pretty darn lucky. Its the easiest, repeat bloomer ive ever had! Its got about 20 areials, that look very healthy. Bright leaves and blooms stay beautiful for 6-7 months. Every January through july? Idk, it bloomed in january and its June so maybe ill make it thru August this year. I havent dropped a petal!
The only thing i guess i should check is the fact its in a glass, heavy duty non-draining pot! Go figure it needs holes! Maybe i should leave "well enough" alone. Ild be heart sick if i kill it 😥
Hello there, Shieena! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! That's wonderful to hear about your healthy orchid!!!
I've done much the same nothing. Till I started watching how to look after them... now it makes me question what I haven't been doing. I have since purchased a few more that I have thought of doing more for so these new ones flower again. :) My last one to flower had a triple spike that had a massive amount of flowers on, which lasted months and months.
@@Majjie24 Hi Jenn, it sounds like you are having good success with your Orchids. Happy to hear it!
your video tips was everything I was looking for thank you so much for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are welcome Teresa~ Thanks for watching
I invite you to watch my live video that was taped last week, called, "Ask Shirley!" You will learn a lot. Here's the link! th-cam.com/video/fLLXRHwjOaU/w-d-xo.html
Great tips! Thank you !
THank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much! Have always bought them as gifts and now have just bought one for myself. I actually love the leaves
They are beautiful like the plant itself!
Thank You! A friend gave me 2 orchids and I don’t know what I’m doing. I say this because each week I sit them in water to water them. Time to invest in them. Thanks again Shirley and hostess.
Thanks for watching my video and for commenting
You are an amazing woman . Love you tips also your smile . Thank you 😍😍
Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback, Joel.
Thank you Shirley for these useful tips, I will follow them precisely :))
Paul J Thank you for watching Paul good luck
Thank you. We have always wanted to know how to get the our Orchid/s re-bloom, we even attended an Orchid class in Armstrong Nursery here in SoCal where we live. We followed EVERY step we learned in the class, but the poor Orchid DID NOT survive, so we gave up. My wife purchased another just last week we will try your method...
Cant wait to see how my method works out for you! Thank you so much for watching my video!
I have more hope! This is the second video I've watched on orchid care. Both videos were by you. I am hoping I keep mine alive long enough to pass down to my now, 10 year old daughter one day long down the road!
That's wonderful, Anthonie! They make great heirlooms passed on in the family! Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback with me.
Thank you! I bought my orchid on clearance at Walmart over a month ago.The leaves looked good but it was just a stick with the stake. I’ve since repotted it with orchid bark and moss. I just noticed today that there is a new leaf coming in. Now that I know to trim it down, I’m going to do so. I’m excited to watch it grow.
That's wonderful!!!! I hope you will keep me updated about your beautiful orchid!!!
Very nice video and you are looking so beautiful like your orchid flowers Thanq
Thanks for watching and your nice comment

EdenMakers i have orchids but some wont get roots from whem i cut it from rottin
Great show! Watched a yr ago but needed a refresher, today I discovered a new sprouting stem/cane ! Hey Shirley can I ask a q about browning roots, should they be cut back to the green or just left alone ?!
Hi Sam, thanks for watching! You should definitely not remove the roots. There's a good chance you'll harm the plant or introduce a dangerous virus. Trim an orchid root or stem only if it's dry and you're certain it's dead, but work carefully to avoid cutting too deep and harming the plant.
Thank you! 💐
My pleasure, Raquel! Thanks for watching!
Thank you!! Great video!! I have a mini orchid for 5-6 years now...very sentimental to me as my niece gifted it and it's been blooming every year! I don't have a green thumb, but after watching this I'm considering buying myself a normal sized one. 😊👍
Thanks for watching and congrats on keeping your mini orchid alive and blooming!
You are so good to explain every thing about orchid .I love it.
It's my pleasure!
