Don't do this! ⚠️ How I burned my Orchid leaves

[@bhumphries1360]

You really do your research! That is one of the main reasons why I absolutely love this channel. I know that I can trust that you are providing me with the most sourced and reliable information. I recommend this channel constantly in orchid groups on Facebook. And I am always seeing others do the same. Thank you for all the help and tips!!

[@berthabarrett7733]

Your videos are very insttuctive I like to watch them.

[@CrochetxStab]

I like to watch KZbin when I’m trying to wake-up. Thank you for sharing your orchid mishaps as well as your successes. I feel as though both are valuable learning experiences.

[@faeryegrrl777]

I sunburned my recovering orchid that only had two leaves. It had stem rot and 1 aerial root and thanks to your advice, two new leaves are growing in. I'm still thinking she'll make it.

[@estellacohen7122]

I listened to you a few years ago when you suggested NOT to move the orchids around. I've got a lot of huge leaves and flowers the last two years. Thanks Girl!!

[@terryviljoen7475]

Thank you Danny. I lost 5 phylaenopsis due to cold this winter. I have learned a lot from you, I just love watching and learning from you

[@cathyclemmer2059]

Thank You for sharing this info. I have one I’m about to lose and I’m so sad.

[@andiiryan]

So happy your back. I’ve missed you

[@chemenginecat3940]

Reminds me of when I brought my tiny cactus inside over winter, I kept it under my led lights, a little too close to one orchid. She got scratches on a leaf when I moved her to water her. For cleaning glass, I find a two wipe method to work best for me. A towel only wet with water, and a dry, very clean towel. The dry towel doesn’t leave any streaks. And I did finish my lunch while watching this video!

[@charlottethomas5588]

Thank you so much for sharing! I really appreciate you sharing your fails so that we can avoid the same mistakes. I also appreciate how educational your videos are. I end up learning so much more than the topic at hand.

[@kerryroyal7489]

I'm so happy 😊 I found you on KZbin plus I agree with your followers as well, I can trust what you say because you back it up with facts. You're very transparent Dani well done 👏 ✔ 👍 Have a great day you all now 😀

[@Rachel-art-and-design]

Good to know. If I ever get a glass case I will use vinegar to clean the inside. Great video.

[@ot1402]

Interesting. I don’t have grow lights but I’ll definitely keep this info on my mind. I noticed your flower spikes don’t have those sticks and little clips to keep the flower spike straight. Do you recommend letting the flower spike lean over, or is it ok to clip them to a stick keeping them straight up?

[@chemenginecat3940]

MOG has some videos on flower spikes that might be helpful. You can use the clips to train your spikes to go whichever way you want, but beware they are easy to snap. I like to use sticks and clips when the spike gets really long. I had one spike collapse and fall over because the flowers were so heavy. Held it back up with some sticks and it’s still growing now.

[@ot1402]

Wow. After I posted this I saw another video where MOG has her pots stacked up and the picked fence looking things and just let’s them hang down. I’m new to the hobby but a month ago I was in a local nursery and saw the flowers and I tripped out. Just beautiful. So I bought 3 and am nursing 2 more my daughter gave me. Never knew there are sooo many different kinds. I’ve liked many of MOG,s videos so I can watch them over and over.

Va urmaresc cu mult drag din Bucuresti. Asa am invatat sa am grija de orhideele mele..nu multe la numar (numai zece). Va doresc sanatate si mult succes in ceea ce faceti .

Thanks Danny for all the tips and advice 🌸🌸

9:52 The reason I'm here is because my very beautiful, robust, thriving Orchid has some strange spots on its leaves. They are small, thankfully, and have some brown, yellow and a little white. There's one that is chicken pox shaped and is only whitish. So weird! About 2 weeks ago, I'd set my orchid up to dry after watering it by the grow light I'm using for my Frizzle Sizzle. I didn't think it would be a problem, but it was sitting pretty close to the light. One leaf turned completely yellow almost immediately (w/in about 18 hours post exposure). I didn't leave my orchid there indefinitely. I moved it further from the light after it stopped leaking from its watering but didn't want to put it back in the regular window because I watered it at night, and we were getting below zero temps! Anyway, because the yellow leaf wasn't near the bottom, I knew there had to have been a problem with the grow light. The spots it's developed since then weren't there (or I hadn't noticed them?) when I removed the yellow leaf. I have it its regular watering tonight, and was very worried about these spots! I was so worried it was infected with something that would kill it. Total panic! After watching this, I am 98% sure my grow light was the cause of the leaf damage. I only hope they will recover and not get worse. BTW, my orchid is an "only orchid" which was given to me over 2 years ago as a gift from my daughter. I definitely don't want it to die. 🙂

[@marleneluzano7971]

hello maam. watching you from philippines. i have a question. in spraying fungicide to flowering orchids, is it advisable to include the flower in spraying? tnx much.

[@irenevirdis694]

Really interesting video, Thanks a lot for sharing! About the bugs: it happened to see the same little bugs and some sort of webs around the leaves of my mini roses plant; this is not the first time it happens and two years ago the same bugs attacked also the flower of one of my phaelanopsis. At the time I tried to solve by washing leaves and branches with an organic pesticide. It' s been necessary to wash twice the orchid, unfortunately the flowers didn't survive but the plant recovered and is still happy :)

[@timmytravels23]

Thanks for the update. Love your videos. Nice to watch such an educated pro.

[@wandashaw3551]

Oh my goodness, who would have thought something like that could happen to your Orchids from window cleaner. 😮

[@cathyclemmer2059]

Thank You for sharing. I’m am losing one and only have 3, I’m a lil sad.

[@debrasaints3809]

I know how you feel! I only had two and I lost one and seem to be losing the one I have left 😢

[@helenetrstrup4817]

My orchids are doing well, I think I'll be moving them closer to the windows in about a month or so. I do have a few minor sunburns from last summer, I am quite proud I managed to not get them burned this year. 😆 The one I have, that I presume is a bronze maiden, is doing well too, I saved it while it was dehydrated and the flowers looked horrendous back around new year. It's been growing a lot of new roots and it's grown 2 leaves since I got it. No sign of a flower spike yet, but I have not lost hope, I'm not expecting it for maybe another 6 months to a year (I am looking forward to seeing it in bloom). And I had one with the newest leaf that just decided it wasn't going to grow anymore, then it withered and died. I managed to pull it off recently, it had finally dried enough it was ready to let go, I'm not sure it will ever grow a new leaf. It wasn't caused by rot or anything I could identify. It was only the newest leaf, the rest still look good. It made a basal keiki about 10 months ago and that is thriving, it's nearly bigger than the mother plant at this point, growing it's 3rd and 4th roots (they've come in pairs with about 4 months in between).

[@lorislane0]

Talking about holiday, how to keep the orchid alive when traveling for 1 month? Is there any way besides asking someone to water them? Thanks! 😊

[@christinalw19]

Ana, I would water & fertilize, drain well, make sure it gets enough light and air circulation, and don’t worry. 😘

[@chemenginecat3940]

One month might be too long even if you water right before you leave. Depends on how often you water normally. Mine are around once a week, so 3 weeks without watering would not be good. You could try adding some sphagnum moss to the mix to retain water a little longer, but I’d want to see how long it will keep them moist before I left. Self watering is an option depending on the type of orchid. Plant sitters are becoming popular now too!

[@theresahall1732]

I'm gutted, I think I've killed my best orchid! I moved it from my unused ensuite to our main bathroom whilst our shower was down...turned out it must've been too humid. 😔 Now all leaves dropped off. I have a couple of roots, mainly aerial. I've repotted. Is it likely to survive? xx

[@andiiryan]

Do you know if there has been an update on Repotme coming to Europe????

[@stephaniesands119]

I had a mishap or two happen in my orchid room recently. My Angraceum Sesquipedale was hanging on a command hook, & it came crashing down, knocking over 3 to 4 others in the process. I also had to cut off a bacterial wet spot off my variegated Sideria Japonica Minimaru, & it was the newest leaf too 💔😵 It's refreshing to know that the orchid queen of the universe is human as well 😂 Also - I'm so jealous of the size of your Eoceoclades!!

[@싱클레어조슈아1004]

Great vid Danny!

[@brittaniebriggs7138]

Hi Danny. What sites to you order your orchid online?

[@francesodle6069]

I love my orchids and I m learning how to care for them. Now I have 2 plants they are outside. Out if the sun. Looking good so far. Hoping for flowers on these 2 plants

[@afelizalde]

Hi. I enjoy all your videos and tips. Can you make a video for myrmecophila tibicinis or schomburgkia?. Thank you.

[@Lavdinova]

I am so sad to here that this happened to your orchids. I did burn a few of mine last week because I changed the place I live and didn't have any common sense and put them on a terrace where it was too hot and they got a lot of burns. I think few of them will die and it makes me so sad. Please help me with some advice. I cut out the dead parts of the leaves but I think now there is infection going thru the hole plants. Is it reversable?

[@sunnymelbourneplants]

Thank you for sharing your discovery with thorough research as always. Will keep that window cleaner far away and keep the area ventilated 😊 I only jabe 2 phals so that would have been devastating 😅

[@za7954]

I did the same when i was a kid with my fishes 😭 they die in 1 day.

[@TAMANPUSPITA]

Love it, thanks u so much 🙏🥰

[@PlantitaUK]

Thank you Danny for sharing another informative videos

[@allenjunetangile337]

Thanks for sharing.I learned new today..

[@xlGoldenlx.]

Does anyone in this community know how long I should leave my grow lights on? The settings are 4 hours, 8 hours, and 12 hours. I currently have it scheduled to start at 8:00 AM until 12:00 AM, because that is when their space gets more natural light. Should I keep it on for longer, keep doing what I'm doing, etc?

[@jfuentes9188]

I use either 4 or 8

[@xlGoldenlx.]

@@jfuentes9188 Ok, thanks!

[@glertasadedini5407]

How do u adapt the barrina grow light with 220 voltage?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, they work with both 110v and 220v ☺️

[@michellebowen8824]

Appreciate your knowledge so much!

[@christinalw19]

I am shocked that this could happen. 😢🙏🏼

[@erickchandra3771]

So horrible! All the beautiful leaves become spotted yellow like virus infected or sunbursted leaves 😓 Hope that damages not too serious. Btw, thanks for the lesson.

[@mihaelaanghel1556]

At 15:00 you sure is not spider mite? Is look like spider mite to me.. 🤔
