Oh my goodness! When I saw the “click bait” title I couldn’t wait to watch it! BECAUSE…I know how much you hate click bait, so I giggled with glee wondering where you were going to go with it! 😂😂. This was awesome and made me laugh out loud when you said patience. Loved it so much, Danni!
Nice to meet you, Danny. I'm Andrea, and I used to have a collection of orchids. I moved, no longer with a greenhouse, and I have just 4 Phals now. It is a welcome sight to see you clear up the click-bate videos. I used to put cinnamon on the top of an orchid with crown rot, but maybe that was a wives' tale also. Anyway, you go, girl! You are awesome!
Another great video Danny! Because of your tutorial, True or False and other information you provide, last year and this one has proven to be quite successful with my orchids. Spikes and blooms on almost every shelf. I can't Thank You enough for boosting my confidence in growing orchids and never be ashamed of any failures. You are appreciated!!
Great explanations as usual. Just some more input: Apical dominance is controlled by auxine and cytokines. Auxine is produced mainly at the top of the shoot (the apex) and is responsible for apical dominance. Once the upper part of a plant is destroyed/hurt the ratio of these to plant hormones/phytohormones changes and the effects of cytokine that induces cell proliferation (growth) in axillary buds dominates and results in the growth of basal keikis to replace the crown
Mine got sick from the bottom up in the center, and they looked perfectly healthy until suddenly they weren't. I know it wasn't crown rot because there was never any water in the top center. This type of rot started from the roots but inside the crown.
I like your videos. All your suggestions are very helpful for making my orchids beautiful. I will keep watching & learning from your videos. Thank you. Thumbs up to you!
Just subscribed:). I have a very sickly orchid. It was given to my daughter and I inherited it and I knew nothing of how to care for it. I've watched a few of your very informative videos and now I want to try to save it. It may be too far gone as I was doing EVERYTHING wrong LOL. It only have one leaf now and I'm sure the roots are rotted but I will try to save it. Now to check out your other videos:)
I have an old phalaenopsis that ended up loosing all the roots within the pot but had loads of them above the medium. It dried out pretty severely but the above roots were still alive and the leaves were just very very wilted but not yet dead. I repotted it two days ago and can't yet tell if there is any uptake in water because the leaves are still quite wilted. I watered it again today and then watched this video. Good information to know. This orchid I'm trying to save from neglect has produced many flowers in the past as did another I have. I repotted that one too and the one wilted leaf is now back plump again ready to give more flowers. Im going to do before and after pictures of the one wilted one so I can do a before and after video down the road. I now know I won't use ice on the surface of the plant and I won't be afraid to water these. Your videos have helped me learn what I need to know to keep my babies alive. Ive lost too many over the years. Now Im confident I can keep more. Thank you. I have plenty of patience to go around.
Hi. I have been growing orchids for 5 years now. One orchid, recently was the same as you described, roots mostly on top and whilting leaves. I saw a video where they put some of the leaves (tips) resting in water and I put it in a plastic container with holes on the lid. ( Big round salad containers from the grocery store) That created a humid environment with the leaves just resting in some water. It worked and the orchid rehydrated itself and the leaves became firm again. I even put a little new moss around the exposed roots. I grow in bark and the bottom had lost many roots. Anyway, my nursing payed off and it now sprouted a new stem. Good luck!
What a timely video! I was given 3 orchids this past spring, and I have never grown orchid before! I learned everything about caring for orchid from your channel! However, one of them had crown rot and lost all leaves in a couple of month, so, regretfully, I tossed it into the city compost bin (I'm in Central Texas). Now another orchid also had crown rot. The 3 leaves look healthy but the stem below has turned black. I was thinking of tossing it out once it looks totally dead. Now, I will keep it this time to see what happen.
Thank you so much for this. I've rescued an orchid from my SIL who cut off all the leaves including the crown of her orchid after it finished blooming. I wasn't sure if I would be able to rescue it or not. I appreciate the hope you have given me with this video.
This was AHMAZING! The title made me look twice, the magic ingredient being patience really made me laugh. Been watching for years and this was so unexpected but like always accurate!! The way you explained the new crown was interesting, looking at it that way does that mean the keike can support and feed the old growth long term? Thats one thing I never considered....thanks!!!
Love your voice and videos ❤ I always know where to go when I'm having issues with my orchids. I grow a lot of cactus, succulents and veggies but never had much luck with orchids for some reason. Your videos are so helpful ❤ I appreciate all you do! It's nice seeing your face in a video 😊
if you cut a Phalaenopsis in half and add 3-indolbutiric acid in the wound of the apex and the base, the apex will start growing roots and the base will grow a new crown (like the orchid in your video), this method you are showing works to propagate Phalaenopsis homemade without lab material or any complicated stuff, you should give it a try it could be a great video i have a tutorial but it is in spanish.
New to orchid growing...my climate is very wet here. All my orchids are outside. I've had many crown and root rots as they were in the original pots. I've just re potted them in mostly cinder rocks with a little roots on coconut husk. I'm thinking to angle hang them now to help reduce crown rot.
Ok Ok Ok. I've been watching ur videos for months now. And I gotta say this video is my all-time favorite. Informative Yes Funny af Yes Fresh Yes Special effects Yes This video is gonna be hard to beat. ❤ from California ❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning Danny, Patience is opposed of the “Chicken Little”syndrome. Great video in handling crown rot. Lost many orchids before I came to you vlog. Thanks and have a blessed week. 🙏🙏🙏
A newbie here, what do I do with the keikes on the upper parts of the spike. One plant has two spikes, each spike have a keike ( just recently learned this word😊). Recently the mother plant leaves is not as plump although the bark feels moist when I push my fingers down in the pot
Hi Dani, thanks so much for these words of encouragement regarding patience with sick orchids! I am relatively new to orchids and have a dendrobium Nobile type that has been struggling root wise since I repotted beginning of the year (I think it was a combination of low light and overwatering/large pot size). I have reported it now into a smaller pot with plenty of ventilation, and placed it under Barrina grow lights (on your recommendation!). My question is- do you think it's okay to keep it in the bark &Coco peat mix it is in or should I try switching to a moss and bark mix? I changed the medium when repotting but kept it the same type as it came in as I didn't want to stress it more..now I'm wondering if I made a mistake!? Thanks for your input, your channel has been a life saver!
Regarding your potting mix, it depends how fast your medium does, if it dries in a week it’s good, if it stays wet for up to two weeks change it to something less water retentive
My miniature orchid has only had 2 leaves with no center growth for over a year... and now those leaves are starting to yellow and die at the end. Don't think patience is going to work. Maybe if I cut it off altogether? (and in spite of this situation I noticed it is sending out bud stalks with buds again!... it is a little bloomer if nothing else!!!)
Hi Dani! I have been watching your videos since I started growing orchids, a few months ago. Your videos are very informative.I have still yet to learn a lot. I have a problem though. My dendrobium orchid which I had bought had a few leaves, but now all have become yellow and have all fallen. I need your help. What do I do with the orchid?
I was corrected when I keep on using Keikis. Keiki is if the baby orchid grew from the flower spike. But if the axillary bud was awakened and became a new plant, they call it basal growth. But I prefer using keiki 😊
Thank you for another great video. Since subscribing to your channel, I have kept 3 orchids alive!!! Unfortunately, I didn't cut down the flower spike of my white phalaenopsis and now, it is sprouting leaves from the top of the spike! It's looking a bit strange. Should I just wait and see what happens? Or perhaps cut it down now? Any suggestions are most appreciated!
I have a orchid that had root rot from sitting in water. Cut most of the bad roots and sprayed with peroxide. Appears most roots are dying now or dead. The leaves are green. I have to prop it up as it will fall over due to lack of roots. Any suggestions to stimulate root growth? I have it in repotme dark mix. Just let it go or is it a total loss at this point?
I live in the Pacific Northwest and have dozens of Phals, many “ rescue “ plants. The primary problem I have is root rotting and dehydrated leaves. I use sphagnum moss and bark chips as media, and wonder if our lower temps h under 70 degrees F contributes to this problem. I have also used 100% bark chips and end up with dehydrated leaves. Any suggestions?
Hello Dani. I have an orchid which has three different shoots coming off of two old flower stems that I didn't remove. They're most likely more flowers but I was wondering if you have a video on identifying these new growths and should I remove any to make others stronger? How long should I wait? I'm praying one is a Keiki but it's doubtful... Thank you for all your advice!
Danny, I have an orchid in this category. There is 1 older leaf left and the one new leaf in which all the flowers had grown from. The other leaves turned yellow and came off. I know what I did wrong, but I see a tiny bit of what looks like mold on the stem between the two leaves. Should I try to treat that? I don’t want to harm the orchid more.
That sounds like stem rot to me especially when your orchids lost all its leaves. I don't know how to treat it tho. But I think Danny has a very helpful video on that subject
@@jhndr0nia I agree, but thought I’d try in case it wasn’t since it has 2 spikes. It’s looking like it’s definitely crown rot. I appreciate your input!!
I have a salad synopsis for seven years and it’s never put on flowers it grows it grows new leaves. It grows air roots but that’s it. I don’t know what to do.
you are using banana peel soaked water. there should not be any residue like compost or something. still if you think its heavy or too dense for the orchids just flash it out . its better to use low concentrated liquid for orchids.
We can always rely on you, Danny for orchid truth!
You might need to add a link to tell people where to buy this magic ingredient 😅
I actually really enjoyed the way you did the clickbait and then made fun of it! Great idea, keeps things fun and light!
I laughed SO HARD when I saw the title and thumbnail because I know how much Danny hates clickbait! 😂😂😂
Me too! 😂
😂
Deny too laughed 😅
Hi Deny my Archids' roots are not growing at all and earlier one had been dryed give some receipy
I got angry because I thought one of those nonsense ice cube videos made it onto my feed. Then I saw it was Dani and screamed.

Where have you been all my life! Thanks

Hi Danni, thanks very much for your videos, they are very helpful in many ways, having orchids it's a good hobby and therapy. 😂😂
It is so great to see you and listen to your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
Charming delivery.
Thank you for your always informative video on phalaenopsis growth.
So refreshing to watch a video with a clickbait title that actually has useful information! 😂

Thanks Danni I have lost a few Phals because they rotted for what ever reason so I threw them out maybe I should have waited. next time I will. 😀
I accidentally bought a mini-phalaenopsis with a terminal spike. Do you think it would grow a new stem if I cut the stem?
Exactly ❤

Agreed.. there's no secret potion that expedite regrowth.. hormone aside.. if u like grooming flowers enjoy the journey. No hurry..

Does this also apply with a terminal spike?
Yup, mine grew a keiki, I didn't even know what's a terminal spike at that time. :D
It should, as a terminal spike irreparably damages the crown.

Have you grown orchids horizonally?
I appreciate the point you made, miss click bait. (Teasing)
I refuse to watch those “click bait” videos, I am not rewarding bad behaviour. I almost didn’t click on yours until I was positive it was really you 😂
How to water in mass cultivation. Like 100000.pots without over head spraying.
They are typically ventilated so all the water would evaporate.
👍🏼
you are using banana peel soaked water. there should not be any residue like compost or something. still if you think its heavy or too dense for the orchids just flash it out . its better to use low concentrated liquid for orchids.
Hi, I am not and will never use banana peels anywhere near orchids :)
