Four years ago I started from two dead orchids and a broken heart. Found your channel, listened religiously to your lessons in orchid growing. Now I have around a hundred orchids and plenty of flowers and it's all thanks to you! All my love from Kerala, India.
Hi Gitanjali! I am from Goa, India. Felt nice reading ur post. I am actually just getting started. And my 1st phals received thru online purchase r not in very good condition. Hope to do good by them.
@@my.happy.place2114 Hi. Happy to hear from a fellow orchid lover from India. Phals are great plants. I am sure they will do well in Goa. I am sorry to hear that the new plants were not in good condition. Happens with some plant nursery. Doesn't mean that they will not recover. Give it time. Best of Luck 👍
Thank you for your post - like the other people have mentioned, it’s wonderfully positive 👍 I’m in Canada and had dreamt of visiting Goa! You must have some gorgeously unique flowers!!! I’ve been pressing them when they fall off but don’t have enough to do a very large project. I enjoy what I do have - they are sooo beautiful!!
I learn so much from you. I am still a beginner at having only 2 orchids but you helped me save the only plant my grandma left behind when she passed in May. So thank you so much for all your information and just being you. I love how you speak and how intelligent you are about them! 💕
I bought a home with a heated 3 season porch in Ct 2 years ago , always had an interest in growing orchids but never kept them until i bought this home , my first were 2 phalenopsis purchased at Trader Joes , i still have them the leaves are huge the roots pour out of their container, this will be the 5th or 6th time they will bloom for me, i have since expanded my collection to include, 8 more phalenopsis some purchased half dead from wal mart or my local supermarket, oncidium, dendrobian, yellow bird, and a few exotics from Kalapana Orchids in Hawaii, and i can attribute 85 percent of my success to the Orchid Girl and her precise narration of keeping and caring for all types of orchids, thank you.......
Garden centers and even grocery shops often have absolutely stunning and affordable Phalaenopsis. Every other year they get a bunch of new hybrids. Nowadays there is a rise in variety and quality of the ''big lip'' Phals and ''compact multiflower'' Phals. The companies mass-producing them need eye-catching, vigorous, compact hybrids that reach blooming size fast with long-lasting flowers. Improving those traits is how they make more money, making Phalaenopsis ever easier and prettier for begginers. No shame in grabbing those. My house is full of them, they bloom alot and won't die unless a disaster like no heating in the Winter. happens.
So.... most of my orchids are rescued from the local grocery store at a substantial savings. My good fortune. I am new to collecting and have had pretty good sucess thanks to your videos. I learn so much from you that I don't really watch other channels on orchids. Keep up the great information.
Great video! My sister in law gave my partner an orchid for his birthday. I don't know why because he doesn't do plants. I knew I never had an orchid before and I knew I'd end up taking care of it. It's a generic orchid with white flowers. I was freaking out because of the several buds I was only able to save three. The others dried up like prunes and fell off. After watching I repotted it into a larger pot with fresh orchid soil. I've been misting because we have low humidity in the house. I must be doing something right because after being away for a week I returned to find the surviving buds bloomed! Thank you!
Learned everything frm you. All my orchids r thriving and blooming. I owe it all to your tutorials. I refer everyone to you. Thank you your the bomb. ❤️
Thank you so much for posting this video! I have the responsibility of taking care of my wife's much-neglected orchids. I am learning to study your videos carefully, because I have no schooling in orchids and do not know the different varieties.
Hi, fertilizer is absolutely necessary for the well being of the entire orchid. It does not ‘promote’ new roots directly though and if the orchid is rootless, it is much much better to NOT use it until the new roots are a few centimeters long. Since it is not consumed it accumulates and can burn new root tips. Afterwards, when roots are able to absorb water, fertilizer is a must and it will help the entire orchid grow, including the roots 😊
@@MissOrchidGirl I just noticed my orchid the green roots look like ther shriveled up so should I stop fertizeing for a while the green leaves are doing good
I love watching your videos. You stick to your subject and impart valuable information for those of us who seek knowledge on how to grow and keep our Orchids alive and healthy. So sick of the fake over the top acting and mental drama dumping on a lot of TH-cam videos that are supposed to be about plants.
First time commenter, 3 year watcher! I always refer people to your videos and refer myself to your videos and my own research when questions arise! I’ve watched A BUNCH of your videos looking for this answer, but I can’t seem to find it…I’m admittedly a little lazy on my watering (school and life interfere!) but living in Georgia, my climate is warm which has stimulated A BUNCH of arial roots over the last few years. I love them and the way they look BUT a lot of mine are in glazed ceramic hole-y pots and my roots grow out of all the nooks and crannies! So when I water them, they are at risk of being bumped and breaking. They stay alive and are silvery looking but I’m wondering if it’s okay to snip it back a little to keep them away from being constantly bumped or disturbed…which could break the already broken roots more…thoughts? I’m assuming the answer is yes (to just trim them) but I figured I could ask 😁 I love your videos, thank you so much for making becoming a good orchid grower simple!
When I cook vegetables or pasta I save the water and use it to feed my orchid and other plants. As soon as I started this all my plants have become very healthy. I stick to the watering only every two weeks. My orchid is now in bud for the third time in two years. The white flowers last around 8 weeks.
Thank you for this video! Right now I'm having issues promoting roots on a phalaenopsis keiki. Despite being 18 months old, the keiki has only grown one very long root, despite the mother plant growing plenty. I can't decide whether to separate the keiki or keep waiting for more roots before harvesting it. And this just in: I just noticed the one root has actually broken at the base. I can't even with this keiki.
Now i really got confused. i can grow cool growers, but can't grow phals,vandas, etc. due to root loss. i fope this helps me! keep up with the great content!
Interesant ca de obicei ! Stii, totusi seria aceea de video-uri in care prezentai orhideele inflorite era captivanta.

Greu sa ii multumesti pe toti, te cred. :)
wow, ce fain, eu am descoperit ieri canalul tau. Am primit o dendrobium nobile acum 4-5 ani si eram tare suparata ca nu a inflorit niciodata, insa ieri am dat de videoul in care explici pros and cons si cred ca mi-am dat seama unde am gresit. Sa vedem daca da roade la primavara. Iar acum gasesc acest raspuns al tau in romana, nu ma asteptam. Imi place mult felul in care explici, as putea asculta cu orele, vocea ta e ca un calmant. Keep up the good work!
Your NOID mini looks like could be a Taida Little Pretty cross … I have a Taida Little Pretty x Zuma’s Pixie that looks very much like your NOID. Just a thought 💭 🌸
75 degrees 🥴🥴🥴 I’d need ICU treatment, anything over 68 degrees and my roots dry up! I have to come up with a game plan to hear my babies up. Thanks so much for the video Helped me a lot!
Thanks for this video Danny. I still have this one mini orchid that lost its roots when I repotted it after purchase and since then has not grown any more roots, however, it has sent out some aerials. From what you discussed, I suspect my poor little orchid has run out of spaces where it actually can grow new roots. Astonishingly though, the orchid has grown two or three leaves in the meantime, ie over the last year and half, as I tried all sorts of set ups with water and dipping water and sphagnum moss, but not ever one new root growth at all and there are no snails. I now have it in a sphagnum moss bed and keep it covered with transparent foil to keep it as moist as possible, but at some point I suspect, I will have to let it go.
Hi, what you can do is, when roots are long enough, soak them in water to make them flexible and then pot the orchid, pointing the roots in the potting mix and practically potting them. If you provide enough aeration they should adapt, branch and keep growing inside the pot 😁
@@MissOrchidGirl I tried that one, but the aerial roots that might go into soil stopped growing the moment they got in contact with solid bark. And the other one aerial root the orchid grew is the one she sneaked alongside the leaves, growing it very sneakily and very decidedly away from any medium :0)))
Hi! The Phalaenopsis no ID at 06:06 minute is Phalaenopsis Chia e Yenlin. I have one Just like yours. There is also the variegata version (not ours). 🌻
Hi, talking about roots, I do not have a problem with them, but I have a lot of them growing quite healthy. My question is, what do I do with them? All over the bottom of the plant 4 or 5 of them, and one of them is now so low (below the pot itself), and looks healthy. Should I just leave them? (in addition: just to mention, all the roots of my orchid are outside the plant, and the one lower than the pot itself is also growing outside the pot)
thank you thank you thank you for the info around 22:00. i bought my first cattleya a few months ago and when i repotted, all but one root was dead :( looks like i'll have to make an ICU chamber!
It's a bit harder in Canada to sustain exact temperature for the famous orchid.🌺 However, with your help I am succeeding at growing orchids that last 4-6 months and I thank you for all your info. , and care. Love Maria Montreal Canada 🌺🌹
@@karenbartlett7040 I only water every nine or ten days. However, I do fertilize and spray the leaves with Miracle grow for Orchids. That works dynamite. My orchids are gorgeous and rebudding. Good luck.
There is an orchid for almost every conditions. If you can find ''nobile type'' complex hybrid Dendrobiums, they tolerate temperature drops down to zero Celsius and will do fine with moderate levels of light, like a garden center Phalaenopsis. The downside is they have a ''season'' to bloom because a temperature drop is what initiate the blooming. Putting them against a window in the cold northern Winter does the job and will trigger any mature cane to produce buds ( or keikis if you over-fertilize ). Your nearest orchid society probably has group orders from producers so you can get many at a reasonable price. The best one, as far as I know, is / was Yamamoto Dendrobiums. Their complex hybrids don't need a dry rest, thus keep their leaves, and are extremely vigorous. The ''phalaenopsis type'' Dendrobiums, however, do not tolerate cool temperatures and need alot of Sun.
Miss orchid girl, thank you for the very informative lectures on orchids particularly on cattleyas. May ask if I can use garlic fertilizer on cattleyas?
Hi, coming in from Canada with a question. My orchids have grown many long roots. They're very distracting to the beauty of the plant. What do I do with them?
Very helpful video, Danny! Do you think a phal can bloom too much? You mentioned temperature and now I think my house might be too cold (72F/22C year round) and causing them to bloom non stop for the past 2-3 years. The spikes are almost always under the top leaf, and I’m afraid I’ll cause a terminal spike. They don’t grow very many leaves either, maybe 1 or 2 a year. Might try a cabinet to keep them warmer.
I had Phals stay in bloom continuously for years without ever getting a crown spike or one dying. Still have my first garden center Phal and still love it. Should totally repot it. Laziness. It'll wait. As long as the roots are healthy and the top 3 or 4 leaves are not going limp or wrinkly, don't worry and enjoy the flowers and bragging rights. A few times I had to cut spikes and repot a long-overdue Phal that had poor roots and was dehydrating, but they all bounced back and it was my fault for waiting waaaay too long on the repotting, not due to blooming. It's normal for the lower part of a Phal. stem to degenerate and the roots there to die, and the higher part of the stem further up away from the pot either dosen't feel the humidity from the medium and dosen't make new roots, or the new roots are in the air and don't have much to drink even if you mist them every day. When that happens the Phal will very slowly lose vigor and go limp, but will bounce back after a proper repoting. If even the top leaves are limp, cut the spikes. I never had a problem putting all the air roots inside the pot when repotting, as long as there are holes in the sides for fresh air to creep in. ( Some growers say air roots put in a pot will all die in a few weeks or months. It won't happen if there is air circulating in the pot from side holes. They will actually enjoy having more humidity and water and will branch and the Phal bounce back to health very fast. )
So, if you have 1 or 2 roots and you do your best to maintain the orchid alive, and you do, but it doesn't root, do you just keep watering like normal and just keep waiting? It won't die, is what I'm asking. As long as it stays alive even with almost no roots, it will continue staying alive?
I am on my 3rd orchid, the first 2 died. 😢 but so far, since watching your videos, the 3rd it still alive! I want to know, do Ariel roots need special care?
My orchids have root rot. I did clean the orchid in the sink and cut all the bad roots off. I did repot. When should I give them water? I will give less water in the future to my healthy orchids Please help!
MissOrchidGirl, I have a Keiki on my orchid, but it does not have any roots, I am a bit worried on what to do? Have watched a lot of your videos and cannot find an answer? Thank you for your advise on this matter. 🌈♥️🌹
I have two questions, what would you think would be a good beginner orchid for a person in Florida?? Do you think a place like Home Depot, or Lowes is a good place to get on or should a person sick to a nursery?
Hi, I think Dendrobium Phalaenopsis types will suit you best! And if those places you mentioned have a plant section, or are garden centers, then yes, they can be found in local flowershops and garden centers too, they are quite popular! Search for my videos on them if you'd like to kearn more! 🧡
You are so lucky to live in Florida, you should have plenty of orchid nurseries near you and the staff at retail outlets should be happy to give advice and help you.
Hi Danny, I'm a beginner and your videos have helped so much! I have just gotten my first orchid a month ago, a complex cattleya hybrid which is a C. Sierra Doll x C. Circle of Life. It has finished flowering and now has 5 new growths with the longest being about 3-4cm and shortest is 0.5-1cm (currently has 6 mature pseudobulbs). I was wondering if this is normal since I've only heard of 1-3 new growths? The leaves also seem to have some mini vertical cracks but otherwise seems healthy. Do you know what causes this and what I can do about it? Thank you!!
My water is so hard that new roots shrivel as soon as my water touch them😅. I started buying distilled water because of this because I can not afford a filtration system.
Hi, I think that if it looks like this th-cam.com/video/6_qsadrDZPA/w-d-xo.html it's most likely crown rot or stem rot, nothing can be done. Sorry, but they can be prevented! Just do a search for them in my videos ☺️ good luck!
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️all your videos and have learned so much from you I have a question regarding my phaelanopsis…I have been growing them bare root and their roots are very very healthy BUT slowly the leaves started to turn yellow from the crown and fell off … I would end up with no leaves but beautiful roots The crown turned black I have been very careful to not leave water in the leave so as to a avoid crown rod Help please Thank you ❤️❤️🥰
My husband give me one orchid and is fill and cover around with moss. Do I need to re pot and remove all the moss? I already buy a pot with holes. But I’m not sure about the moss🥴 I’m still confuse with that. Thank
Hi, not sure what you refer to exactly, but you can type in the search bar missorchidgirl repotting orchids and you can find tons of repotting videos, maybe one will match what you're looking for!
How can I save a Phalaenopsis orchid with almost no roots? I repotted it but all the roots died. I think it was a very pot-bound orchid. It is a fairly big orchid and in bark medium, with holes in the pot. I see no knew roots and it grew two great leaves before I repotted it. Now the new leaves are very limpy and dehydrated. It is my mom's orchid, so I really want to save it. Will an ICU setup help for a Phalaenopsis? I really need help please..
My orchid has not produced any flowers for a while but got lot more leaves now but I was told to cut off the stem where turned brown so I did 😢n rn I can’t afford to buy the potting soil n the pot for it can I cut holes the plastic pot that it’s in rn until can get it
Is it true that my orchid could bloom all year long if I gave it certain kind of care? Also, my orchids roots are just beginning to find their way out of the holes in the container. Should I repot into a bigger container at this point?
1 year since I took home my orchid from the shop, the light level ok so as the temperature in the room is between 20c to 25c, her leaves are dark green and hard, watering is once every 14 days soaked with light worm water but unfortunately I am not seeing anything happening no new leaves, no new roots or flowers. Please help what to do.
Hello Danny, thank you for all the super helpful videos! I'm new here and need help rescuing my uncle's phal. It was left sitting in water and most roots rotted. I removed all the bad roots but there's almost nothing left. It still has three good leaves left, one yellow wrinkling leaf, and a 13cm spike. Should we cut the spike so it does not draw energy away from root development? Thanks!
If the spike is green - keep it and use Dani’s trick to promote new budding by cutting an inch above the proper node 🙂. Maybe u guys can help me, I had 2 spikes and in a week, the first ones flowers fell off and it turned brownish yellow, the following week the second spike did the same. Any ideas?
This is two months late, but you should most definitely remove the spike since there are no flowers and the plant is focusing on putting its energy into the spike Instead of focusing its growth on growing a new root system. That will probably be your best for recovery, if you try to promote another flowering it will take even more energy away from developing new roots.
Help please! My Phaleonopsis orchid is not happy. I've had it two years I Know I am just not a good owner bc I've nvr gotten flowers back. I've grown new leaves but no flowers. The issue is all of a sudden she drooped. I knew something was wrong. Well it was thirsty I forgot bc the heats now on that this is going to get thirsty more often. So I added water. However I watched your video on rejuvenation. Um I have one good root the other is hard but a brown soft spot in-between. I'm pretty attached and don't generally kill plants. What can I do?
Love watching and learning from you. I also watch some Russian growers, but some things do get lost in translation. Do you know what they use in media called safflower and they wash it? Or flora media. And a sulfur product? Hopefully you will know these things and I do thank you!!!!! Hugs!
Hi, I'm watching Russians too, they use a lot of products to prevent and treat steam and roots rot, especially popular is MAXIM, also Previcur and Fundazol, and as a medium they broadly use Keramzit- kind of artificial stones, very porous, similar to Leca.
I bought two Phaly Orchids and the roots are dead. One the flowers all fell off, the other the flowers are oK. The leaves look very healthy, but what is wrong with my plants?
I repotted a newly purchased Phalaenopsis from moss to lecca in a self-watering kit. The nutrient solution is always wicking to the roots in this system. Is this self -watering good for orchids?
I’m not a fan of leca type self watering for orchids. They seem to just barely hang on and were never vigorous for me. MissOrchidGirl had used it in the past too, but has since switched to bark and sphagnum moss.
I also used lecca and did not like it, it seemed to me it extracted moisture out of roots when they dry. That seemed to affect roots and even desecate them.
Hope you are able to find the issue. The reasons can be so many, first look at what is different - type, size, location, temperature, light. List I can think of: pests (I had thrips), not enough leafs (phalenopsis shoot flower spikes from leaf 4 ussualy), not enough roots, not enough fertilizer.

Am primit o dendrobium nobile acum 4-5 ani si eram tare suparata ca nu a inflorit niciodata, insa ieri am dat de videoul in care explici pros and cons si cred ca mi-am dat seama unde am gresit. Sa vedem daca da roade la primavara. Iar acum gasesc acest raspuns al tau in romana, nu ma asteptam. Imi place mult felul in care explici, as putea asculta cu orele, vocea ta e ca un calmant. Keep up the good work!
Your NOID mini looks like could be a Taida Little Pretty cross … I have a Taida Little Pretty x Zuma’s Pixie that looks very much like your NOID. Just a thought 💭 🌸
75 degrees 🥴🥴🥴 I’d need ICU treatment, anything over 68 degrees and my roots dry up! I have to come up with a game plan to hear my babies up. Thanks so much for the video Helped me a lot!
Thanks for this video Danny. I still have this one mini orchid that lost its roots when I repotted it after purchase and since then has not grown any more roots, however, it has sent out some aerials.
From what you discussed, I suspect my poor little orchid has run out of spaces where it actually can grow new roots. Astonishingly though, the orchid has grown two or three leaves in the meantime, ie over the last year and half, as I tried all sorts of set ups with water and dipping water and sphagnum moss, but not ever one new root growth at all and there are no snails.
I now have it in a sphagnum moss bed and keep it covered with transparent foil to keep it as moist as possible, but at some point I suspect, I will have to let it go.
Hi, what you can do is, when roots are long enough, soak them in water to make them flexible and then pot the orchid, pointing the roots in the potting mix and practically potting them. If you provide enough aeration they should adapt, branch and keep growing inside the pot 😁
@@MissOrchidGirl I tried that one, but the aerial roots that might go into soil stopped growing the moment they got in contact with solid bark. And the other one aerial root the orchid grew is the one she sneaked alongside the leaves, growing it very sneakily and very decidedly away from any medium :0)))
Hi! The Phalaenopsis no ID at 06:06 minute is Phalaenopsis Chia e Yenlin. I have one Just like yours. There is also the variegata version (not ours). 🌻
Hi, talking about roots, I do not have a problem with them, but I have a lot of them growing quite healthy. My question is, what do I do with them? All over the bottom of the plant 4 or 5 of them, and one of them is now so low (below the pot itself), and looks healthy. Should I just leave them? (in addition: just to mention, all the roots of my orchid are outside the plant, and the one lower than the pot itself is also growing outside the pot)
thank you thank you thank you for the info around 22:00. i bought my first cattleya a few months ago and when i repotted, all but one root was dead :( looks like i'll have to make an ICU chamber!
Excellent video
Amazing thanks x very well done
Thank you!
Great info❤thanks for sharing 👍
It's a bit harder in Canada to sustain exact temperature for the famous orchid.🌺 However, with your help I am succeeding at growing orchids that last 4-6 months and I thank you for all your info. , and care. Love Maria Montreal Canada 🌺🌹
I'm in Alberta and have the same problem
Still have problems with my watering. Should be water less in the cold Canadian winter months?
@@karenbartlett7040 I only water every nine or ten days. However, I do fertilize and spray the leaves with Miracle grow for Orchids. That works dynamite. My orchids are gorgeous and rebudding. Good luck.
There is an orchid for almost every conditions.
If you can find ''nobile type'' complex hybrid Dendrobiums, they tolerate temperature drops down to zero Celsius and will do fine with moderate levels of light, like a garden center Phalaenopsis. The downside is they have a ''season'' to bloom because a temperature drop is what initiate the blooming. Putting them against a window in the cold northern Winter does the job and will trigger any mature cane to produce buds ( or keikis if you over-fertilize ).
Your nearest orchid society probably has group orders from producers so you can get many at a reasonable price. The best one, as far as I know, is / was Yamamoto Dendrobiums. Their complex hybrids don't need a dry rest, thus keep their leaves, and are extremely vigorous.
The ''phalaenopsis type'' Dendrobiums, however, do not tolerate cool temperatures and need alot of Sun.
That’s what I use for all my plants
My friend, you like orchids. Enjoy the video.
J'adore le Phal. Sogo Grape ( fireball?)
Gorgeous Phal. Sogo Grape, I assume the ''Fireball'' clone.

Miss orchid girl, thank you for the very informative lectures on orchids particularly on cattleyas. May ask if I can use garlic fertilizer on cattleyas?
I have rescue so many orchids with your tips thank you so much !!!! BTW I love your hoodie ! is it part of your merch?
Hi, coming in from Canada with a question. My orchids have grown many long roots. They're very distracting to the beauty of the plant. What do I do with them?
Very helpful video, Danny! Do you think a phal can bloom too much? You mentioned temperature and now I think my house might be too cold (72F/22C year round) and causing them to bloom non stop for the past 2-3 years. The spikes are almost always under the top leaf, and I’m afraid I’ll cause a terminal spike. They don’t grow very many leaves either, maybe 1 or 2 a year. Might try a cabinet to keep them warmer.
I had Phals stay in bloom continuously for years without ever getting a crown spike or one dying. Still have my first garden center Phal and still love it. Should totally repot it. Laziness. It'll wait.
As long as the roots are healthy and the top 3 or 4 leaves are not going limp or wrinkly, don't worry and enjoy the flowers and bragging rights.
A few times I had to cut spikes and repot a long-overdue Phal that had poor roots and was dehydrating, but they all bounced back and it was my fault for waiting waaaay too long on the repotting, not due to blooming.
It's normal for the lower part of a Phal. stem to degenerate and the roots there to die, and the higher part of the stem further up away from the pot either dosen't feel the humidity from the medium and dosen't make new roots, or the new roots are in the air and don't have much to drink even if you mist them every day.
When that happens the Phal will very slowly lose vigor and go limp, but will bounce back after a proper repoting. If even the top leaves are limp, cut the spikes.
I never had a problem putting all the air roots inside the pot when repotting, as long as there are holes in the sides for fresh air to creep in.
( Some growers say air roots put in a pot will all die in a few weeks or months. It won't happen if there is air circulating in the pot from side holes. They will actually enjoy having more humidity and water and will branch and the Phal bounce back to health very fast. )
Thank you
So much neede information!
Please make a new video about Brassavola Digbyanas
Thank you for your videos. They are very informative and scientific. Can you give advice for orchids in the carribean?
So, if you have 1 or 2 roots and you do your best to maintain the orchid alive, and you do, but it doesn't root, do you just keep watering like normal and just keep waiting? It won't die, is what I'm asking. As long as it stays alive even with almost no roots, it will continue staying alive?
I am on my 3rd orchid, the first 2 died. 😢 but so far, since watching your videos, the 3rd it still alive! I want to know, do Ariel roots need special care?
My orchids have root rot. I did clean the orchid in the sink and cut all the bad roots off. I did repot. When should I give them water?
I will give less water in the future to my healthy orchids
Please help!
MissOrchidGirl, I have a Keiki on my orchid, but it does not have any roots, I am a bit worried on what to do? Have watched a lot of your videos and cannot find an answer? Thank you for your advise on this matter. 🌈♥️🌹
We have a woodstove so our living room is warm in the winter... should I move them to a cooler room for the winter so its not as warm and dry?
I have two questions, what would you think would be a good beginner orchid for a person in Florida?? Do you think a place like Home Depot, or Lowes is a good place to get on or should a person sick to a nursery?
Hi, I think Dendrobium Phalaenopsis types will suit you best! And if those places you mentioned have a plant section, or are garden centers, then yes, they can be found in local flowershops and garden centers too, they are quite popular! Search for my videos on them if you'd like to kearn more! 🧡
You are so lucky to live in Florida, you should have plenty of orchid nurseries near you and the staff at retail outlets should be happy to give advice and help you.
My orchids have roots that look dead yet have extensive healthy portions. How should I clean them up?
Hi Danny, I'm a beginner and your videos have helped so much! I have just gotten my first orchid a month ago, a complex cattleya hybrid which is a C. Sierra Doll x C. Circle of Life. It has finished flowering and now has 5 new growths with the longest being about 3-4cm and shortest is 0.5-1cm (currently has 6 mature pseudobulbs). I was wondering if this is normal since I've only heard of 1-3 new growths?
The leaves also seem to have some mini vertical cracks but otherwise seems healthy. Do you know what causes this and what I can do about it?
Thank you!!
My water is so hard that new roots shrivel as soon as my water touch them😅. I started buying distilled water because of this because I can not afford a filtration system.
I have my phals in a greenhouse, terribly humid during our summer. What would the humidity have to be if too high??
What do you do wit h a flower spike which has grown all around bottom of orchid plant plant @ground level. Just leave it alone?
As always lots of information thanks
The sweater where did you get it from, I want one can you give us the information about it. Please and thank you
Hi, it’s another TH-cam merch, website is www.sadgirlapparel.com/
How d you know what Dendrobiums are prone to dormancy? I have one that has lost all its leaves. D. Thongchai Gold AM. It is winter in Arizona, USA
Could you tell me what is happening when the orchid looses all its leaves but roots still seem healthy?
Hi, I think that if it looks like this th-cam.com/video/6_qsadrDZPA/w-d-xo.html it's most likely crown rot or stem rot, nothing can be done. Sorry, but they can be prevented! Just do a search for them in my videos ☺️ good luck!
Terimakasih tipsny miss ❤️
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️all your videos and have learned so much from you
I have a question regarding my phaelanopsis…I have been growing them bare root and their roots are very very healthy BUT slowly the leaves started to turn yellow from the crown and fell off … I would end up with no leaves but beautiful roots
The crown turned black
I have been very careful to not leave water in the leave so as to a avoid crown rod
Help please
Thank you ❤️❤️🥰
My husband give me one orchid and is fill and cover around with moss. Do I need to re pot and remove all the moss? I already buy a pot with holes. But I’m not sure about the moss🥴
I’m still confuse with that.
Thank
Could you show how to repot a phalenopsis that has alot of areal roots? You only show the easy ones that have all their roots in the pot
So beautiful
Do you suggest providing some of your advice by reporting orchids already potted?
Hi, not sure what you refer to exactly, but you can type in the search bar missorchidgirl repotting orchids and you can find tons of repotting videos, maybe one will match what you're looking for!
How can I save a Phalaenopsis orchid with almost no roots? I repotted it but all the roots died. I think it was a very pot-bound orchid. It is a fairly big orchid and in bark medium, with holes in the pot. I see no knew roots and it grew two great leaves before I repotted it. Now the new leaves are very limpy and dehydrated. It is my mom's orchid, so I really want to save it. Will an ICU setup help for a Phalaenopsis? I really need help please..
My phal hasn’t grown any new roots the entire 2 years I’ve had it and it’s never bloomed since I bought it. It’s frustrating.
What type of artificial light is best for orchids?
My orchid has not produced any flowers for a while but got lot more leaves now but I was told to cut off the stem where turned brown so I did 😢n rn I can’t afford to buy the potting soil n the pot for it can I cut holes the plastic pot that it’s in rn until can get it
Can I use LECA with orchids? Would it be better to mix it with something else?
Is it true that my orchid could bloom all year long if I gave it certain kind of care?
Also, my orchids roots are just beginning to find their way out of the holes in the container. Should I repot into a bigger container at this point?
1 year since I took home my orchid from the shop, the light level ok so as the temperature in the room is between 20c to 25c, her leaves are dark green and hard, watering is once every 14 days soaked with light worm water but unfortunately I am not seeing anything happening no new leaves, no new roots or flowers. Please help what to do.
Hello Danny, thank you for all the super helpful videos! I'm new here and need help rescuing my uncle's phal. It was left sitting in water and most roots rotted. I removed all the bad roots but there's almost nothing left. It still has three good leaves left, one yellow wrinkling leaf, and a 13cm spike. Should we cut the spike so it does not draw energy away from root development? Thanks!
LOL in the same boat here
If the spike is green - keep it and use Dani’s trick to promote new budding by cutting an inch above the proper node 🙂.
Maybe u guys can help me, I had 2 spikes and in a week, the first ones flowers fell off and it turned brownish yellow, the following week the second spike did the same.
Any ideas?
This is two months late, but you should most definitely remove the spike since there are no flowers and the plant is focusing on putting its energy into the spike Instead of focusing its growth on growing a new root system. That will probably be your best for recovery, if you try to promote another flowering it will take even more energy away from developing new roots.
Help please! My Phaleonopsis orchid is not happy. I've had it two years I Know I am just not a good owner bc I've nvr gotten flowers back. I've grown new leaves but no flowers. The issue is all of a sudden she drooped. I knew something was wrong. Well it was thirsty I forgot bc the heats now on that this is going to get thirsty more often. So I added water. However I watched your video on rejuvenation. Um I have one good root the other is hard but a brown soft spot in-between. I'm pretty attached and don't generally kill plants. What can I do?
The new roots of my orchids will suddelnly stunt, the tip will dry up and discontinue growing, what is the possible reason and what shall i do
when i change the media from completly moss to orchid bark the orchid get shock and all the roots get muchywhat should i do to avoid this situation.
What causes green spots with holes on your blooms?
Is spring water good for orchids?
Great video! But who does that hefty purple tip at 1.30 belong to?! 😍😍😍
Hi, oooh that’s the Rhynchostylis gigantea, she’s a big girl! 🥰
Thank you ☺️
Love watching and learning from you. I also watch some Russian growers, but some things do get lost in translation. Do you know what they use in media called safflower and they wash it? Or flora media. And a sulfur product? Hopefully you will know these things and I do thank you!!!!! Hugs!
Hi, I'm watching Russians too, they use a lot of products to prevent and treat steam and roots rot, especially popular is MAXIM, also Previcur and Fundazol, and as a medium they broadly use Keramzit- kind of artificial stones, very porous, similar to Leca.
Super
I really like your videos and learn a lot. Can you please make your videoa available on Rumble
I bought two Phaly Orchids and the roots are dead. One the flowers all fell off, the other the flowers are oK. The leaves look very healthy, but what is wrong with my plants?
I love how she over-pronounces the ‘t’ in “FERTILIZER” 😊😊
Hi Danny, can we spare Hydrogen Peroxide 3% without diluting ?
Do you have a video on how to grow Orchid on bark
Hi, just type in the search bar 'missorchidgirl mounted orchids' ☺️
@@MissOrchidGirl thank you
I repotted a newly purchased Phalaenopsis from moss to lecca in a self-watering kit. The nutrient solution is always wicking to the roots in this system. Is this self -watering good for orchids?
I’m not a fan of leca type self watering for orchids. They seem to just barely hang on and were never vigorous for me. MissOrchidGirl had used it in the past too, but has since switched to bark and sphagnum moss.
@@chemenginecat3940 Thanks. Might switch back to moss again.
I also used lecca and did not like it, it seemed to me it extracted moisture out of roots when they dry. That seemed to affect roots and even desecate them.
anggrek cantik, merah merona.

Hi, I have 6 orchids but only 2 of them haven't bloom for 2 years any suggestions?
Hope you are able to find the issue. The reasons can be so many, first look at what is different - type, size, location, temperature, light. List I can think of: pests (I had thrips), not enough leafs (phalenopsis shoot flower spikes from leaf 4 ussualy), not enough roots, not enough fertilizer.
i have huge problems with roots, they always grow but then i lose all of them
The leaves of my phalanopsis have called off and Ive seen that it's gone black do you know why this could be and what to do
Fallen* not called lol auto correct
Also the leaves are green it's gone black at the roots
I should've saw this vid before I killed my dendrobium 💀
Should I cut the roots off the plant. Will still live if I did .
Hi, if they’re not dead then you shouldn’t cut them. If you do it may survive, or it may not 🤷🏻♀️
"patience lol"
:0
I have an orchid that has lots of good roots but I’m down to a small pitiful leaf! When the leaf dies is the plant dead?
Indonesian is here..
