Do this to Revitalize Your Dying Orchids

[@rabz5616]

I love your channel. Your posts. Your content. The length of your videos. The fact that you turn to organic solutions, which we in the Rast have been resorting to since centuries and plants indigenous to OUR areas (not surprisingly) respond better to treatments indigenous to the same area, geographically as well. So , so glad someone understands that, is expanding upon it, is teaching us and taking us all along on that journey as well. God bless ❤ Please make a post on how to make our phals spike in time for the festive season. It’s still quite warm in our semi tropical, coastal cities. Much love.

Always after a natural alternative guys, your garlic spray was great 👍 fresh new growth appearing, will be trying ginger best wishes from Western Australia Jan

[@thenaturecompany]

Great to hear you having success.

[@lisafeldmann9863]

Can you please do a video advising on when to use garlic and ginger sprays? How often to use them? Can the ginger and garlic waters be combined to use at the same time?

[@thenaturecompany]

i hope you found the videos we did on them for you . you can mix them but i prefer not to as i am not sure how their active ingredients may react with each other

[@ninan3311]

The question is when to use which? Ginger vs garlic. I have a rootless phal I'm trying to save , so wondering ​@@thenaturecompany

[@judydawson806]

@thenaturecompany yes. That's my question too! When should I turn to Garlic Tonic and when should Ginger Tonic or are they basically the same 🤔 .

[@zionexclusive]

Good to add in as another prong in your integrated plant management system ❤

[@thenaturecompany]

yes ,thanks for watching

[@yusufalbalooshi2723]

Hello dear, what is your advice? I have rotten roots from overwatering and the soil does not dry out quickly. I used to water every day. If you could please advise me on how to get rid of the rotten roots so that the plant can absorb the elements and water, I am one of those who use natural fertilization. Thank you, dear. I await your response.

No sabía del jengibre y sus propiedades.. gracias! Desde chile!

[@thenaturecompany]

Gracias . Agradecemos que muestre su apoyo. Nos encantaría en algún momento viajar a nuestra parte del mundo para ver las orquídeas en su hábitat natural.

[@bonniefrench9884]

Awesome information ! So encouraging. Can't wait to try it on my orchids ! Thanks for sharing !

[@thenaturecompany]

Thanks your Welcome

[@Donna_child_of_God]

Is this only to be used as a spray? Can I water my orchids with ginger water? If so how often

[@thenaturecompany]

I use this as a revitalization tonic . This is used for those stressfull occasions and when revived go back to regular feeding etc

[@Lisa-JaneSpears]

Wow just stumbled on your videos, new to orchids. Inherited multiple from an elderly neighbour going into care, the family were tossing them in the bin! They have been neglected for many years and suffed many an insect infestation etc over that time. I have done my best and repotted and cleaned up. Have been spraying with a eco product to safeguard, but would much prefer and organic alternative. Looking forward to the watching the results :) Going to have to binge you channel 😆

[@thenaturecompany]

It is always exciting getting new babies into the collection , esspecially when they are FREE 😁Glad you found us and I hope we can help your on your journey to happy health orchid growing 🫂💕 keep us updated on how they are coming along .

[@amberlehner4759]

What kind of soil did u use to repot? Don't forget orchids can't do regular potting soil!!!!

[@edandpeter]

🎉🎉🎉thanks ❤❤❤

[@thenaturecompany]

thanks for watching

[@geoffchurchman1635]

yes Ginger really works

[@thenaturecompany]

it really does 👌as good for the garden as it is for your food 😁

[@Unkn0wn1133]

Ive thought orchids were dead before (oncidium or zygo) i sadly set them under the table and stopped watering. Then after about 3 months they shoot out a new growth sometimes. Its pretty amazing.

[@thenaturecompany]

Orchids are hardy and want to survive , we make it difficult for them

[@roxannereneeburns5953]

I have a few rescue phals with nubbins forming. No roots though.

[@thenaturecompany]

it is always so rewarding bringing them back from the edge 👌

[@yolyV-hg3uc]

Excellent information thank you

[@thenaturecompany]

Glad it was helpful! We appreciate you showing your support for us like this 😍

[@kiraclark4242]

How often can you use the ginger and garlic tonic?

[@thenaturecompany]

Never over use. Best once a month or every second week.

[@kathyhuynh2139]

​@thenaturecompany Can Ginger & Garlic tonic water be used on other plants & indoor flowers eg anthurium? Thanks

[@lightworkerviolet]

I know this might be a foolish question, but could you use a garlic snd ginger combination? The properties seem to be similar, but different as well. Could you provide some insight?

[@thenaturecompany]

Yes you can!

[@haraldgroner6645]

Hello from Germany, Thank you for all the great videos. Short question can I use the ginger water also for watering the Orchids to protect the from pests? THANKS In advance and enjoy the weekend.

[@thenaturecompany]

Yes you can!

[@lesleysmit602]

Thank you for the wonderful information, so helpful. I would appreciate smaller captions, if possible? The text covers viewing what you're doing, even though the instructions are clear.

[@thenaturecompany]

Thanks. You can turn off cc far as I know , the captions are controlled by youtube.

[@lesleysmit602]

@@thenaturecompany thanks I'll check this out. Don't want captions turned off, just want to see more of what's actually being done

[@Lisa-JaneSpears]

Thank you so very much. In Queensland, under shade cloth in a utility area at side of house (southern) good air flow. Fingers crossed, not sure what I actually have only been able to identify two d.nobile christmas chime (flowering) and d.anceps (flowering).

[@thenaturecompany]

Ah , and here I thought they might be phalaenopsis lol , I love Dendrobiums , if I am not mistaken Queensland has ideal climate for most Dendrobiums . 👌

[@Lisa-JaneSpears]

@@thenaturecompany PS also have phalaenopsis I think the neighbour had been collecting them annually when in flower. Here we go on our journey. I do believe Queensland is pretty good for most - however cymbidiums are hard to get to flower, I am trialing tropical version, will need to wait a year or two for results or death 😞 thank you for all your inspiration and advice. Just watching your clivia short, wishing mine were all mature to put on their show :)

[@thenaturecompany]

sorry your message slipped though the cracks lol , The warm flowering Cymbidiums can be so rewarding and a lot of work has been done to get bigger and better flowers , I find them particularly easy to grow . One of our videos is on Chen's Ruby and I love it so much so rewarding , it should flower just as well there . In my area we have to protect our clivia from the amarylis worm , the little buggers make a feast of them and leave very little left .

[@lisafeldmann9863]

Can ginger essential oil be used instead of freah ginger?

[@thenaturecompany]

I would rather use fresh ginger or powder ginger

[@Lisa-JaneSpears]

Ok gave my adopted orchids a ginger spray. How often should I be doing this? and can you successfully store any ginger water or does it ferment? As these orchids have been neglected for many years and several have been affected by scale (which I have cleaned off to the best of my ability after spraying with neem and white oil). I would like to treat the orchids in a pro-active way and get them to their fighting best so they can battle most of the invasions themselves just not sure on the best method. I usually do a fortnightly eco spray on my plants during spring/summer using a combo of eco fungiside, white oil and liquid charlie carp (fertaliser) but at about half strength. I have been advised white oil and orchids are not a good mix! Sorry so many questions I just want to be able to save them so I can let our 93yr old neghbour know they have lived and are healthy - Orchids were a large part of her and her dec husbands life. Thank you for any advice 🙏

[@thenaturecompany]

only a pleasure to help 🫂white oil can be used but not all the time , use it when you can't control them any other way . neem will work and I have just done this video on scale too 😉kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5Kyi3R4h8moptksi=e-W3ST78dekijmpi . Your feeding sounds about right , just try and be sure to give the correct light and air movement the specific orchids may require for them to be at their best .

[@Evelynmay88]

Hello can you do this for cymbidiums?

[@thenaturecompany]

yes you can , this video can also help kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqitfqClfpx0eZosi=QwN6GmDJPxy2_uvq

[@lynnechick9832]

Awesome thankyou

[@janicewright6176]

I live in Jamaica, can the ginger liquid get rid of slugs & snails? Thank you. Alwayslove your demonstrations. Very educational

[@thenaturecompany]

i have never tried it for them .. but I did do another slug/snail video if you missed it kzbin.info/www/bejne/p16kaHanZtJ9l7c . thank you so much for you support we really appreciate it 🫂

[@davechristensen8299]

Can you use dry, powdered ginger spice?

[@thenaturecompany]

I am not sure if heat has been used to dry the ginger as certain temperatures can affect the active ingredients 👍

[@claudialee7830]

How often do spray on a dying orchid to revive it, thank you

[@thenaturecompany]

I use it once a week for the first month and then every second week until it is starting to look better and then once a month until it has settled back into growing . 👍 I hope this helps 💕remember to still flush your pot once a month .

[@claudialee7830]

Enjoying your video, how often can you use the ginger on your plants as a deterrent, thanks

[@thenaturecompany]

i only use it once a month if it is on less prone times of the year you can reduce it further

[@LindaBunck-pg3to]

Where do you get the large chunks of orchid bark?

[@thenaturecompany]

nursery supply stores keep this often under the label decorative bark chunks or landscaping bark

[@LindaBunck-pg3to]

@@thenaturecompany Thank you! Do mean like Lowes/Home Depot? Are they treated with insecticides, could that hurt the orchids?

[@thenaturecompany]

generally they should be fine but you will need to soak them for 24 hours and rinse them as often they will be very dry and that will absorb water from your plants . Soaking will also remove unwanted stuff from the bark

[@davidheilmandc]

I am trying to revive an oncidium Wildcat. Wll this tonic work on oncidiums & how often should i spray the plant? Thank you. I really enjoy your videos!

[@thenaturecompany]

yes it it great for all plants not only orchids , use it once a week for the first while till you plant is settling in then you can reduce it to once a month until you are happy it is recovering nicely 👍

[@lindaannb]

😂 I’m currently rereading the Lord of the Rings series now so the introduction was especially funny!

[@thenaturecompany]

😂 but that really is the way we do feel about some of our orchids 😂

[@lindaannb]

Yes, it is!

[@wengcanz6281]

how about turmeric Sir, is it good for the same purpose?

[@thenaturecompany]

turmeric does have some good properties for orchids . I have been meaning to do a video on it . I will try get to it soon 👍

[@Lisa-JaneSpears]

Question, would turmeric stain the plant? Interested to see the video! I grow both ginger and tumeric, but do tend to use more ginger in the kitchen, so would be a great extra use for the tumeric!!!
