How I repot my orchid in orchid bark

- Instead of flowers, I’ll buy myself orchids.
The easiest way to repot orchids in my opinion is just with some good ol orchid bark. I had this one is a spaghnum moss/orchid bark combo but orchid bark alone is just fine!
I avoid repotting when the orchid still has blooms, so when the blooms die off, that’s the perfect time to switch out it’s medium if you have one that’s from the store or if you notice the medium it’s in is cracked or old.
These orchid pots are from @loweshomeimprovement but any pots with ample drainage works well.
I’ve shared orchid rescues and orchid care but I can talk more about it if you want a orchid care video, let me know.
I feel like she is our plants fairy godmother 😂❤️
Thank you, we just "rescued " our brand new Orchid. Packed so so tight in the moss, Mercy.
He's drying , and clinging to a piece of driftwood.
Thanks again
This morning I had the thought to ask you how to replant my orchid and here you are. Thank you Krystal❣️
So we have just rescued a frenchie a man had no time for him so we have him he’s 2 years old he said and wow is he loud I have 2 other dogs and one of them hates him only day 3 so very early days just praying they all become best friends we had to go out yesterday for a couple of hours so put him in a crate and the other 2 were roaming in same room as they always do when we got back he had only escaped from cage.. good job all was ok but god knows what’s went on the dog that hates him seemed to be a little bit better around him still growling and the other dog that seemed to be his play mate won’t play with him no more 🙈could have been a lot worse the outcome but see how things go he’s at vets today for a full check up too xxSo we have just rescued a frenchie a man had no time for him so we have him he’s 2 years old he said and wow is he loud I have 2 other dogs and one of them hates him only day 3 so very early days just praying they all become best friends we had to go out yesterday for a couple of hours so put him in a crate and the other 2 were roaming in same room as they always do when we got back he had only escaped from cage.. good job all was ok but god knows what’s went on the dog that hates him seemed to be a little bit better around him still growling and the other dog that seemed to be his play mate won’t play with him no more 🙈could have been a lot worse the outcome but see how things go he’s at vets today for a full check up too xxSo we have just rescued a frenchie a man had no time for him so we have him he’s 2 years old he said and wow is he loud I have 2 other dogs and one of them hates him only day 3 so very early days just praying they all become best friends we had to go out yesterday for a couple of hours so put him in a crate and the other 2 were roaming in same room as they always do when we got back he had only escaped from cage.. good job all was ok but god knows what’s went on the dog that hates him seemed to be a little bit better around him still growling and the other dog that seemed to be his play mate won’t play with him no more 🙈could have been a lot worse the outcome but see how things go he’s at vets today for a full check up too xx
Good luck. We love our frenchie.
I just used that type of pot for the first time on my last orchid repot and honestly, my orchid has never looked happier. I put it all inside a larger pot that hugged and topped the clear one with moss. It's beautiful and my orchid loves it!
Good to hear! Where did you buy that pot ?
@@jujubee7351 just over at Lowe's!
Please do more orchid videos because I love them but they are so temperamental I forget what they need!! Thanks so much you’re awesome 🙏
Love that pot. I make my own for my orchids and monstera, philodendron etc. Just take a plastic pot and heat up screwdriver and burn holes all around the pot really helps with airrating the soil my plants are happier for it
So do your other tropical plants use orchid soil-bark and moss instead of soil to grow? My tropical plants are in Potting soil and they are lacking something.
I’ve seen people make holes with a soldering iron! Give it a try
Please don't forget to sanitise the scissors with hydrogen peroxide. Also the roots after cutting. It prevents infection. Use cinnamon powder on the roots once it's in the pot. I have more than 20 orchids and they bloom all the time...
Mine Orchid flowers started drooping...then I noticed, blooming stem got bent. I wrapped that bent with Aloe vera & taped it. Do you think the Orchid plant will rejuvenate?
Did you know human saliva ( just like our out breath is for them what they breath out ( oxygen) for us.) is the bèst anti virus anti fungal antibacteria etc protection youcan give the cut roots and branches?
Hydrogen peroxide will rust even stainless steel. Isoproyl alcohol is safer to use on tools.
Love the pot! You can diy by melting holes in a plastic pot with sauter tool, be safe
Thanks for the helpful tip
Yep, I repurposed a plastic container and will be putting holes in it pretty soon. But my mini orchid is liking it so far.
That's what I did as well 👍🏼
Solder tool*
I did the same with old juice bottles, plastic containers and etc.
Wow. I have NEVER had an orchid for three months and it’s roots looked so lush! Mine orchid’s roots are completely rotten for maybe except One or two!! And I follow all the advise
I’ve ever had thinking :
This time I’ll be successful and be able To keep My orchid healthy for
Longer than three Months. I’m only following your advice from now on - starting with drilling a hole in those terrible pots!
Your orchid videos are so easy to understand. Thank you!
Happy I could help!
@@PlantswithKrystal by the way, when do we need to use hydrogen peroxide for the roots?
Let us know how that airy pot works out, please. Maybe once a month update real quick. Thank you. 👵✌️🖖
Gonna be way to dry fam, she didn’t even add any sphag moss
I have that pot, pain to water. Water runs out before reaching the bottom.
@@Iliketurtles318 Hi,
You don't just dunk it in a bucket of water for a few minutes? I didn't think you could water it from the top.
But that is the wildest plant pot I've ever seen. Sitting on a shelf, I would never have known what to do with it. Unless you lined it with window screen.
So other than watering, how does your plant like it?
Thank you for your comment.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.
👵✌️🖖 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️
@@YouDontGetToSeeMyEmail Hi,
Would that hold enough moisture in the roots without keeping them too wet?
Thank you for your comment.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.
👵✌️🖖 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️
She’s recently posted a video saying that it dried out too quick for her. It’s the second to last post currently on her shorts if you haven’t seen it already
I have 2 of my orchids potted in this exact same pot and they’re doing very well- roots are actually starting to grow out the holes some . Super airy pot! One orchid has bark and the other is lava rock and pumice- pot works well with both mediums. Happy orchiding😊 love your channel!
I have an orchid and I’m shocked I’ve kept it alive. I learned to skip the ice trick and just soak that baby when it’s time to water, but I followed different advice and have clipped the stem back after it’s bloomed each time. I’m sad because my last stem and blooms were much smaller. I won’t cut it back any more, lesson learned. I enjoy the orchids much more since I’ve learned how easy they are to care for.
You have so much personality! Keep up the good work helping us with our plants.
I love this channel and Ive learned so much about my plant babies. Im actually considering getting a "cactass" 😅
Thank you so so much!!!! Cactass is pretty damn great 💚
@@PlantswithKrystal youre enthusiasm and love for plants makes me giggle. Girl, youre hilarious.. and you've now saved my orchids and my Aunts. Thank you!
Very useful for when I repot my two rescues!!! Thank you!
My mum got some new orchid pots this year. They are glazed earthenware (dark blue drippy glaze, gorgeous!), but in a diagonal lattice, so that they look like ceramic basket weave.
I guess she changed her mind about giving me all her plants lol
Thank you for sharing this with us 😊🪴😊🌱😊
I’m always so afraid to touch my orchid. Probably because I was really good at killing them in the past.😕 Does it only need bark? Not soil? … Thanks for this! So useful. 🙏🏾♥️
Yes!! Soil kills and suffocates
Orchid roots and turns them
to mush. Orchids grow in tropical climates on trees- not in dirt/soil… you can buy little bags of orchid potting medium at Home Depot or ace hardwares for under $10. Bag.
THANK YOU I didn’t know what to do with my girl 🩷
I've just re potted 2 of my orchids. I removed a sponge like plug from under the crown and removed all the dead roots. I've gone full professional 😂 and re potted into glass vase. I've only used bark with no moss so I've now got my fingers crossed.
My orchids always end up with tons of air roots but barely any ‚normal‘ roots. Repotting them is a task but as I’ve had some for >20 years I am apparently doing something right. 😂
Aerial roots can be a sign of too low humidity, although some orchids make them regardless.
Actually remember that this plants are air plants. So their atrial roots are just great.
Awww ❤ thank you so much for sharing.
Reminds me I need to repot mine.
Those pots are great!! Until your roots start growing out the holes 😅 Happy Planting girl!! 🌱🥰 My orchids are doing great in them !
Ive got a mini orchid i decided to try growing in water 😬 one week and its not looking bad
Oh please don't do that. It will rot....
If it's a mini phalaenopsis (a small version of the one in the video) by all means if it's bare root give it a daily soak for 20 minutes, but then drain it off. You can leave a bit of water in the bottom as long as the roots aren't touching it, or put some damp grit or clay balls in the bottom. If you leave the roots in water it might look fine for a while but @promesselilla is right, it will rot sooner or later. They are not aquatic plants. Most need to get at least just dry before being watered again.
I put my phalaenopsis in water for about 3 months, because the roots were slowly rotting in the soil it came in. She was struggling for months and starting to lose her first leaves on the bottom. So I washed all the media off I could, peeled off the rotting sheeth off of roots and left the inside vain of the root. I soaked the roots in peroxide then put the bottom 1/3 of her roots in water. Don't let the middle root (the big one) soak, just the roots on the side. Every week or two, I put her in orchid fertilizer and let her soak for 1/2 and hour, give her a rinse and put her back in the old water she was in, just topped it off with distilled water, so she could keep her rooting hormones. Her leaves stopped rotting and I got 2 gorgeous baby aerial roots. I mounted her two days ago to some cork bark with Sphagnum moss and she seems to be loving life. We have a bright future ahead. She's been in my care for 1 year now. ALL this to say that they can live hydroponically, if you're willing to do the work. There are TH-camrs who do this often and they do well.
Mines in a holey pot doing very well
I just started using one of those pots (like 3 months?) And just be careful of the media drying VERY fast.
What is the purpose of these pots? Or can you give me the name of them so I can look it up?
@@jamie_marie_most are literally just called “orchid pots”. They’re designed to give maximum airflow as orchids are epiphytes and need more oxygen (and less water) than your typical soil-growing plants.
Lots of roots and people watching and looking
I use this type of pot for pretty much all of my orchids and they look healthy overall. I’m excited to see how long they’ll last. These pots are wonderful just get a little plastic for the water 💦 that goes through it.
This is just what I needed!! Now off to get bark.
Bark is great for airflow but you need Sphagnum Moss to retain moisture,…✨
Thanks for the advice..love orchids❤😊
👁️💎👁️ One of my TOP 3 Houseplant care friends on YT!! Thank you for sharing and teaching me. Your knowledge and humor is always appreciated 💜☮️💜
Thank you so much for being here 🥹🫶🏽
@@PlantswithKrystal 🪴🤗🌱YW friend💃🏾💃🏾
i shake the crap out of the pot as im repotting. really shakes the bark inbetween the roots and holds it all sturdy
As Krystal says, "Shimmy that pot!" 😀
Beautiful ❤
Thanks so much
I want to try those pots.
I recently switched to this kind of pot for my one orchid that isn’t in water. It’s doing much better with the extra airflow.
Ive been looking at this pot for a while now at homedepot. Please dont forget to give us an update.
Might stress the orchid to switch from spag to bark make sure to keep it hydrated!
Thank you 🙏🏾
😂😂 “ you sly little one you”
Thank you for sharing 💯🙏❤️
This honestly was very fun to watch! You have a great personality and make a simple thing as repotting a orchid a fun thing to do… or watch.
Thank you for sharing Krystal!! I have to repot two orchids that I dropped by accident😭, I hope they don't go into shock!!🤦♀️🙏🏼🙏🏼
So nice~
I think I might be about to rescue my sister's phaleonopsis as it doesn't seem to be faring too well. It's not bloomed in a long while, though does have lots of silvery roots climbing out of the pot.
Amazing
I love those orchid clear pots, I found at Lowes.
Your commentary is always the best lmao
Yes more orchid care
I had a cat drama with my orchid. My beauty started growing a new branch, and just this morning I woke up to see that my little cat BIT OFF the tip of that new branch. I'm not going to go into details of how p*&#$@ off I was, now I just don't know what to do with the damage...
My nerve plant went into shock after repot, please make a video about how to help it!
Your Videos are top
((((("THANK YOU I BOUGHT A ORCHID FOR MY MOM AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT ALIVE👈‼️")))))🌺🌺♥️
I’ve never seen these pots. I have some from I think somewhere called orchidme or something..I got them on Amazon, they have a ton of air holes but they are longer slit like holes but I have noticed my roots like to grow out of them and it’s hard to get them back instead without tearing them up 😢 so I’m looking into other options. They do work fantastic other than that slight issue.
Do you usually use bark or moss with orchids?
I had to cut mre than half the roots. My orchids are from wally world. The roots were tightly packed with spagnum moss, many were broken. Hope this works. My first orchids.
Just reported mine today, and uses product w/perlite, sphagnum and bark - some of my roots were brown & ugly, buy leaves all looked healthy! ps used Terra cotta orchid pots that come in 3 pack;)
I just rescued one today and after cutting off the soggy dead roots there were only 3 roots left. I hope it makes it
I’m going to mount some of mine and see how well they do. I have a hard time growing them in pots.
Can you tell us where did your clear pots ??💕💕
Got mine at Lowe’s
Hi , awhile back you posted a short where you put an orchid in just water I was wondering it was doing
Love your videos! I’m a plant lover in Fort Wayne. I think I heard you say you’re in Indiana as well?
I know I’m a bit late to this video but I’m kind of at a loss for what to do. I recently trimmed my orchid and repotted into orchid bark in a clear, well draining pot. The problem is I feel like when I water it, it drains almost immediately. I know they don’t like wet roots but I feel like just the orchid bark doesn’t let it retain any moisture at all and it results in me accidentally under watering my orchid. Please help 🥲 I love your videos you’re such an angel
❤❤❤
I bought my mom an orchid all the leaves have fell off she won't repot it and she only gives it a quarter cup of water. 🤣 I'm pretty sure it's dead.
Do you peroxide before/after/not at all, when cutting roots? Also, where did you find that awesome pot? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated!
Can you reuse those moss or they go straight to the compost bin?
Do you use straight bark??? Why not use an orchid mix? I'm fairly new to orchids, so I'm trying to find what works best for me. I just repotted mine out of the pure moss and into orchid mix. With a day the flowers have started wilting. I'm hoping it's just shock
❤️
I just got that same pot from Lowe’s for just under $3
How quickly do the blooms come back?
Duh, I'm a real beginner with house plants. Once she repotted her orchide, she puts it back in another pot, right?
Where did you get your pot pretty cool
It’s from Lowe’s 💚
Where do you get those cups?
Anyone ever try an orchid on a living wreath? ❤
Hebat, salam anggrek dari Indonesia
Can you tell me more about this pot?
It looks beneficial for air and moisture flow, but I imagine some plants will grow roots beyond the holes when they need more space.. and that might make them difficult to repot without damaging it too much? Or will they avoid the holes because theres not enough moisture?
Girl how do you keep spawning orchids!? I’ve seen like 485+ videos of you with a new orchid hahah
My orchids love to grow many laaarge air roots. When repotting, do I pot them in or let them up in the air? 😊 Have a beautiful day 🌺
Leave them out. Aerial roots and roots that grow in the growing medium are different. If you put them in the pot they won't be happy and will probably die. Try grouping the plants together and standing the pots on trays of damp gravel or clay balls. Both will help to raise the humidity. Or you could use a small humidifier, but you'll need to up the ventilation or you'll get mould.
How can you tell you need to repot your orchid?
Can you use those pots for any plant or just for orchids
Use quality, sharp pruners.
I put additional hole along the sides of my planters to enhance drainage and oxygen intake. Am I doing the right thing?
All my orchids are rescues from Publix supermarkets...
When their glass pots break or the flowers fall off the company throws them in the trash... they don't even try to mark them down!
So... I buy them... usually at full price... i have 4 right now and saw these clear orchid pots at Lowe's yesterday! Im going to get 4 today 😂
That's because depending on the vendor they give the store full credit and the store likes to put out perfect merchandise for their customers.
Where can we get those pots?
I found mine at lowes
Donde compraste la maceta para la orquídea?
Do you have to use just bark or can you use a mixture of bark potting soil and etc.
Is it best to wait until it's finished flowering before repotting
Why do orchid need repotting if they like their root snug fitted ?? Also how often should this be done ?
Eventually any potted plant will either outgrow its pot or the mixture in the pot will break down and not allow any air to the roots. Then you need to repot.
The directions that came with my orchid said after the bloom to cut off that middle stem....
What can you do if the leaves on the bottom are alive and well but the stems from the blooms (near where you clip the wood sticks) those are brown, can you cut them down and will they grow again since the leaves at bottom are okay?
Thanks
Wait, do you tuck your aerial roots into the soil??
No, they are aerial roots not soil roots.
I rescued an orchid 2 months ago and I had to cut the stem back but it has not grown back. The roots and leaves are doing beautifully! They don’t stop growing, but can anyone help me figure out my issue with my stem?
Where do you get those pots?
I got my orchids almost 2 years ago, they were blooming at the time. Now, they bloom for the third time since I have them, they bloom around winter time up to mid spring. But they have a lot of leaves. Is it safe to cut the leaves even tho they are nice, dark green colour? My big orchid has 12 leaves right now. I never changed pot for them, I have them as they were in store. Sometimes I cut those dried roots which pops above the pot and then dry.
Where did you get those pots?
I just want to see where you keep all these plants...as because u propagate a lot...and you buy a lot..
