I'm a health care worker and recently an orchid farmer donated orchids to my hospital as a thank you gift during the corona-virus outbreak. I was worried i wouldn't be able to take care of my orchid and it would die but Shirley is so great at teaching and explaining the basics. Thank you so much for this video I hope my orchid lives a long happy life with me
Deathegirl you are extremely welcome! You are also my hero! Thank you so much for working in this difficult time. If I can help you with any of your gardening questions, consider me your personal teacher! Let your fellow healthcare workers know that I appreciate them and that I am here to serve them, anytime!😍 thanks a million!

I came for the orchid, I stayed for the personality! Very informative and refreshing.
Hi Despoina, Thanks for watching and sharing your encouraging comment!
You are a breath of fresh air! Wonderful, informative video without being complicated. You explain everything so well. Just getting into growing orchids. Have saved your video to watch whenever I need help with transplanting. Thank you so much.
My pleasure and thanks for watching Ann! I appreciate you sharing your feedback with me.
I've been watching a lot of videos about orchids but none of them had this much useful information. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching and very happy you found my video helpful!
Thank you Shirley for your step by steps tutoring how to revived orchids life to be enjoyed again.
My pleasure, Teresita! Thanks for watching.
THIS VIDEO was ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER WATCHED. She walks an orchid grower thru the entire process of caring for orchids. She answers all the questions I have been having, and I didn't even have to be there for her to know what I needed. I LOVE HER CHANNEL. Thanks.
Hi Sandy! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I'm so happy you enjoyed my video and are learning from my channel too!

I came to the comments just to read this.
So funny. Lol
Haha,,,it happens, I like to keep it real so no one thinks I'm perfect!
Thanks for talking me out of purchasing the impossible to find moss. I’m ok now.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love watching this lady.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your comment. Happy to hear you are enjoying my videos.
Thank you so much for the detailed repotting instructions. I am caring for an orchid now until it's owner's return in 4 months. I'm concerned about the orchid's care since they are new to me. Your video has clarified why and what is happening to this orchid and what I should be doing to maintain it's health. Thanks again!
Hi M AK! My pleasure and thanks for watching! Best of luck!
I love your videos on orchids because you explain how the orchid grows naturally in the wild. Knowing that makes it easier to care for them by duplicating those conditions.
Hi! Their natural habitat is very important for proper care. I am glad you found my video helpful! Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback.
Hello
By far, the best tutorial.
Thanks.
So happy you found my video helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great lessons to learn about orchids. Shirley has such a lovely SUNSHINE face. So blessed.
Hi Eunice, Thanks for watching and sharing your sweet comment!
Shirley - God bless you. Your love for gardening come through your videos. Thank you for your professionalism and step by step with explanation on how to care and plant orchids, this has been extremely helpful.
My pleasure! I'm so pleased you enjoyed my videos! I really appreciate your feedback!
12 minutes on everything you know about orchids! I always thought it was the hardest plant to maintain, but i now know it's due to how different it is to all other plants. Here's to a hopeful 3rd chance at keeping my newest Orchid plant alive ... if my loss goes from 2 of 3 to 3 of 3, I'll stick with my vegetables and succulents :)
Hi there, Alex! Thank you for watching my video! Please do not give up on orchids! I am here to answer your questions and help you along the way. Please keep me updated about your plant!
Thank you for the informative video. The orchids are almost as beautiful as the host.
Very very kind! Thanks for watching 🤗
My daughter's new boyfriend brought 2 orchid plants when he came to meet us for the first time. It made me happy and sad at the same time because I manage to kill just about any plant I try to keep like that. So glad I found this video. I would have done it ALL WRONG. I learned so much. Now I'm off to the store to buy the needed supplies. THANK YOU!
teresa6565 Yay! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! Your kind words truly put a smile on my face! Have a wonderful day!
I am so glad I looked this up before I totally destroyed my orchid! Everything I thought was wrong and I was going to replant it like a normal plant. I and my orchid thank you!
Hello there, Gamer! Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate it! I hope you will subscribe and continue to follow me! I am so happy that you find this information useful!
I'm in the same exact situation you were in. I almost killed my orchid and planted it like a normal plant also. I'm so glad I watched this now.
Shirley, thanks so much for a very informative video. I never had an orchid but I found one, after last Easter, that someone in my apartment building threw away. It was just leaves and empty flower spike. Following your video I was able to repot it and it has bloomed again. Thanks again.
That's awesome Tom! I'm so glad you watched the video and it helped! Hope you are doing well :) Stay safe!
Nice video. You had a good pace and provided much needed information about the orchid. I inherited one from my mother in law.I did not have the heart to throw it out. It looked alive. Now 6 months later I decided to make it a project. Had no idea they can live up to 50 years. Wow! thanks for your help.
Thanks for watching and replying Vanessa, I appreciate it! Please share it with your orchid loving friends! I just posted a video this morning about rose propagation in case you are interested in growing roses! Here's the link:

MANY THANKS MS.SHIRLY FOR SHARING EXCELLENCE TIPS TO REPLACE ORCHIDS PLANT. IT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA.
Thanks so much Minh! Glad you watched my video!
Thank you so much Shirley, I had purchased 2 orchids plants about 5 weeks ago and noticed one of them had a couple of leaves turning yellow. I was blessed to find you when searching for a video, so I followed your steps to repot and noticed that the plant had her roots in a little cup with dirt. You mentioned they don’t grow in dirt but on branches, so I cleaned her up, and looking forward to her thriving! God bless, and have a very happy Christmas!
You are most welcome. Enjoy your orchid!! Thanks so much for watching 💕 Merry Christmas! 🎄
Nicely Explained the whole procedure. Your dressing is perfect as well!

Thanks so much for watching and commenting on my video, Mihaela. I am so happy you found it helpful.
I love the little details and I concur, having good bark that isn't too mossy or soily is really best. I've even been thinking of adding lava rock in with my mixture when I go to repot this year.
Thank you so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate your support! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!!!!!

I’ve watched several videos on orchids. Yours is the best I’ve seen. My son bought me a orchid for Mother’s Day. Beautiful plant. I’ve never grown one before so off to TH-cam I went.

Thank you for taking the time to explain and pass on your knowledge. I’m so excited to have this beautiful and very unique plant.

Thank you so much, @@kurt7911 !!!
@@EdenMakers I literally gasped! LOL
Lol, Kat!!!!!!!! Oops! @@katkatmi
Just did my first “orchid rescue” last week although I’ve never watched a video on how to do it. I think I did pretty good because my little orchid seems very happy, the leaves are plump and the blossoms are perky. I’ll be following you from now on.

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
You have a great way of teaching,so enthusiastically.Learned number of things, Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words, Prakash! I am so happy you enjoyed my video and learned some things. Have a wonderful day!
beautiful lady, smiles like her orchids, learned a lot thank you!
Aww so sweet! Thanks for watching Jackie! 💕
Be very careful and don't cut into this tissue. Oops, looks like you did just that at 2:52. Doh
Ha ha....what can I say! Fail! But of course, now you will remember NEVER to cut into tissue because you Heard it and Saw it! Thanks for watching. I like to keep it real here.
Should the old orchid medium be dumped into the same pan as the new bark? Are you going to dump out that whole pan afterwards so the previous stuff doesn't keep breaking down in the newer bark?
Hi Sarah, yes, it is good to discard the old so that it doesn't get mixed up with the new bark.
Lovely and clear explanation for beginners 😚🤝👌
Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you for nice learning session on replanting orchid with insightful informations why they dont need much water. ❤️❤️

Great info! I learned my got happy after I dropped her. It forced me into repotting. (& I am doing it right) I water mine WAY differently too. What's with the ice cube crap? Where in the wild would you find a plant with ice cold water in it?! Talking to them helps lol. I am glad to know about the aerial roots, I tell my plant that her roots are just as pretty as her flowers! Thanks for sharing, you did a great job!
Hi, Shekat, I do not agree with the ice cube method either. That is for a special cultivar of "Ice Orchid" but normal orchids are tropical plants.
You are absolutely amazing .loved the way you detailed all info..thank you
Thanks so much for watching and for such a kind comment!
Thank you!! You are definitely the orquid expert 😉

Hi Shirley, I bought an orchid at the store on liquidation. It was in barks and had no stem just two huge leaves. I'm wondering how to get it to grow back its stem. Can I also leave the plant under a bag to have a moist environment?

Hi Mechura, Thanks for watching and sharing your love of orchids!
Why did you mix the old bark with the new bark? What if it had a fungus or something? Should you spray the bark with peroxide as well?
Hi, V Ashley, I suggest you start with new bark, of course. No need for peroxide if it is new.
@@overthemoon9941 Hi Overthemoon. Thanks for watching my video. Did you watch it?
I see you agreed with V Ashley.
I used new bark. I had one small tub for this demonstration and removed the old, broken down bark and left it towards the front of the pile. I explained to use new bark, and to treat the roots with peroxide, (I gave a ratio)] before repotting.
Giving accurate information is very important to me. Would you mind letting me know what mis-information I shared? I will make corrections as needed. My goal is to teach sound information. Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you for the video. I think I have overwatered my my three orchids and would like to repot them to stop potential root rot. The leaves are starting to look a little dehydrated (not all of them, mostly the older ones). Problem is, two of the three orchids have started growing keikis! There's proper leaves on the flower spike, not just secondary spikes. I want to save the mother plants but also the babies! What do I do? :(
Is it safe for the mother plant and the keikis to repot them now? Keikis take time to grow and I don't think the mother can pull through for this long. But also I've read that repotting while in bloom can make flowers fade faster. My orchids aren't blooming at the moment so I don't care about the flowers but I just don't want to endanger the keikis... I am so insecure when it comes to orchids.
Hi Mag, I am happy you found my video helpful. The keikis need to have a vigorous root system, at least 1 inch long before you transplant it. Don't worry if it doesn't survive. Gardening is a learning experience. Every "seeming" fail will make you a better gardener. Please feel free to post photos with further questions on my facebook page "Edenmakers by Shirley Bovshow" if you have further questions.
Honestly I got something soooo good in your cannel and not found in many cannel on youtub that it is , you answer all message for all person I appreciat that . you are so great , beautifull and gorgeous woman . I love you

I've been growing my orchid in water purifier water so I just want to know is that good for it or should I stop doing it for two years now so far is doing okay it blooms once while it was in the water and I've had a fuzzy fungus like on the stem Park and I pulled off a couple of the old leaves that's dying Runner but I got new Leaf growing again this year
Hi there, Antoinette! You can find a lot of authoritative information on orchids at the American Orchid Society website, which is www.AOS.org. I think the purified water should be fine.
Come to our place Assam INDIA..it grows naturally here
That is wonderful!@@drbonitaborah6752

She cut into the leaf while cutting that stalk :0
Hi, Kooshal0000! Yes, that is live TV for you! Mistakes are made! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
It's a no no to remove old, decomposed medium from the pot you are going to repot and let it fall with your fresh medium.... asking for trouble as there could be diseases, fungus or bugs lurking in that old medium. Also the removing of dry roots should not be allowed to be dumped in or near the fresh new medium. The old medium along with the old dry roots should removed onto a paper, and discarded. You wish to keep your new fresh medium as healthy as you can and away from the old.
Thank you so much for watching my video and contributing to the conversation!
Yeah I noticed that also. Would definitely discard the old medium first before introducing the new bark soil
@@debramcleod5050 Hi Debra I agree with Juliette and Over the Moon, (although I removed that persons comment for troll activity on my videos). You need to use fresh bark, (as explained in video) and keep it away from the old bark.
All proper protocol is explained in detail in the video including disinfecting the plants when needed.
My challenge was that I had this tiny tub to do my demonstration and had nowhere to discard the old bark. I did leave it in front of the new pile of bark and did not pull from it when repotting. In hindsight, I should have clarified, "Make sure to keep the old and new mix away from each other."
I still stand behind my information. It is solid and has been successful in 20 years as a horticulture professional. There are a lot of things that are not mentioned in videos that are done at the spur of the moment. It's just difficult to think of every detail when you are teaching extemporaneously. That is why these comments are useful, to bring up these details and clarify, refute, or be corrected. I'm all for fruitful conversation and I have no problem accepting correction!
This person though, is commenting about how much they "hate" that my videos are popular, and there just in no place for that on my channel. My purpose is to build people up and teach them techniques that will make them successful. That is why I reply to 100% of all comments. Thank you for your time reading my comment. This is a great alert for me to be extra vigilent of my visuals as much as what I actually say to do.
At first I thought it was ok to dump the old with the new bark until I saw your comments. Good observation!

2:54 whoops
Hi Pino! You're right, Whoops! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
It is a mistake to make blanket statements like sphagnum holds too much moisture and is going to drown your plant. It is going to be entirely dependent on climate whether or not it is a good choice for a medium. In a temperate climate, like NJ or NY, it might be a problem, especially in winter. For growers in hot regions, like myself in FL or those in AZ or southern CA, sphagnum is not an issue. Down here, bark (especially new bark) can go bone dry in a single day and even sphagnum dries in just a few days. I can grow Phals in bark but they require near daily watering in the summer, they grow a whole lot better in sphagnum.
Hi there, Michael! Thank you so much for watching my video and for your contribution to the conversation! I truly appreciate it! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you Michael McCarthy, for your info. I live in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area and I agree with you on the moss vs bark. I have to put mine in moss because I would be watering constantly otherwise! But I do love this video!
Michael McCarthy I should have made It clear That I was referring to indoor orchids, Which is where most people across the country keep their moth orchids year round.
The number one reason most plants die is from overwatering.
When orchids are overwatered and have moss As the planting media, they are more likely to experience root rot.
Indoor conditions for orchids are generally consistent throughout the country no matter what the climate is outdoors. This is why I can make a general statement. Thanks for reading
Nancy Mumpton Hi Nancy thank you for watching and commenting!
I replied again to Michael to clarify that I am referring to indoor orchid care.
It does not matter where you live or your outdoor climate, Indoor conditions are generally consistent throughout the country. This is why I can make a general statement. Overwatering is the number one killer of plants. Moss retains more water than bark and can lead to root rot much quicker.
Thank you once again
Thank you so much for watching my video, Nancy! I appreciate your comment and contribution to the conversation! Have a great day!!
