I rarely leave comments, but this is hands down one of the best (if not the best) intro to orchids I have seen. Learned everything the hard way when there was not much information available and can confirm each and every care tip given here.

I recently added an Orchid to my indoor plant collection. Three weeks and in my bathroom it's still alive 😅. I just added water today 🤞. I could never keep an Orchid alive for more than a month 😅. I've done my research so hopefully she lives long. They are beautiful plant's.

Apart from comparing them to wine, I'd also say that the level of maintenance required makes them more cost-effective and more rewarding than maintaining a husband 👍

I have inherited 3 of my mums orchids and I’m feeling the pressure of keeping them alive and this has really helped. Her flowers are dropping off but I think I’ve been overwatering, under feeding and wrong area of the house. Thanks for this intro guide to orchids ❤

OMG! If I INHERITED an orchid, I would probably pay somebody to keep it alive for me. I am here because I am DETERMINED to keep my orchids alive. It isn’t going so well. 😰 Best of luck to you and the little ones. Pray for me. 🤦🏾♀️

It may sound crazy but here it is. I’m a beginner orchid enthusiast. I’ve always loved them. Wasn’t sure how to grow them. Glad I found your video. The orchid I have it present and I know it’s gonna sound crazy was extremely “silent.” it bugged me so I got down and investigated and found out she has outgrown her pot. So I put her in an orchid pot and believe it or not she is not as quiet. I’m glad I found you with your flower knowledge.

I fertilize only after its done blooming with pellets and tgats it, work like a charm...the frequency of fertilizing in the video is too much...Also water them by drenching in warm water like in the rain forrest once a month and be sure to drain, if you live in a home with heating you will need to also add a little water on a weekly basis. I get blooms that last upwards of 5 months every year, doing this for over 10 years and have not killed an orchid. Also my orchids are in a window that gets direct morning light. Great video!

When I brought each of my two new orchids home from the grocery store, they lost their flowers within weeks. I think it is because of them changing their environment. They will bloom again if you water them sparingly. I water on the same day every week 1/4 cup of water each. I am about to repot them and I expect they'll go into shock for a bit and then burst with new flowers as they are ready. (They've never been repotted). The first orchid bloomed prolifically (on it's second go round) from August through February.
