How I Pot My Vanda Orchids | Preventing Fungus and Sterilizing Cutting Tools

[@NicoleDeanna]

I love the use of the river rocks, you don't have to worry about repotting for a long time and it doesn't stay soggy like bark

[@preciousbloomsja]

You are so correct Nicole. In one of my previous videos, I placed 3 vandas in a large pot without removing them from their original pot. All i did was to add more river stones and charcoal to the arrangement. Glad you enjoyed my video🤗

[@adelinedile3250]

I would love to follow your idea by using the river rocks 👍🌹🌹

[@pattiepitts5893]

Wow thank you for taking the drama out of growing Vanda orchids! Your garden is fabulous and so are you so friendly so informative I just can’t believe how I have stressed over cutting my vanda it’s happening today. Thank you for that because this poor plant is out of control and I adore it. Am I the only one on the planet that’s never thought of using rocks?

[@phengarcia1845]

Thank you, wow that's so easy. I don't river rocks near me however we have mountain gravel that's being used for construction I think that will work. Do I need to put bleach to wash the stones? Should I mix it with coco chips and charcoal?

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Phen thank you so much for tuning in. I do believe it's quite okay to use the mountain gravel as long as it's small in size. I normally use plain water to wash the gravel; and I do use charcoal sometimes with the gravel. Should be okay to use coco chips too😊👍.

[@jodeming5088]

Watching again, & still love your video's. Living in Florida your knowledge can be used by me. Only have 3 vandas but that will change soon. Thank you so much for the knowledge & idea's. Take good care. May I ask why a plastic pot? Does a basket or clay pot do the same?

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Jo, your support means the world to me. Welcome to the world of growing vandas👍👌😀. I started out with just one single vanda and here i am today with almost 100 in my garden. Delighted to know that you are learning from my videos. Cheers and happy growing🤩😊

[@ronaldsimpson8847]

Thanks very informative

[@preciousbloomsja]

Glad you enjoyed. Thank u for watching🤗

[@genizi]

Thanks for the video. It was very informative and simple. I am going to repot my Vandas this weekend using river rocks and cinnamon. My question when do you water after potting?fertilizing? Many thanks and blessings for your lesson.

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Dott, delighted that you found my video informative😇. I started fertilizing approximately 2-1/2 months after potting the vandas. There's a video ("how i train my vandas to grow in full sunlight") giving an update on the vandas and how i gave them their first dose of fertilizer. You can begin watering them the following day (depending on the climate where you live) after potting, to start maintaining those green and healthy roots. Thanks again for watching, cheers and i wish you every success with repotting your vandas.

[@barbarasalmon2676]

Great vid again! Two questions.....1) Do you wash the gravel with just plain water? and 2) What did you say you soak the vanda in before potting? hydrogen peroxide and ---?

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Barbara, sorry for the late response. Yes i use plain water to wash the gravel, however, you can add some bleach to the water. Growphite is what i use with the hydrogen peroxide to soak the vandas before potting. Thanks again for watching and happy growing from Precious Blooms🤗☺

[@annettamackey1538]

[@alanboyd7341]

How do u prepare your wonderful gardens for hurricane season. Love your program

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hey Alan, the last hurricane we had was many years ago when I had just a few plants and so I brought them inside the house. If a hurricane should threaten us now, I definitely would not be able to bring them inside, so I think the best thing to do would be to secure them together at an area outside that I assume would be safe spot, and hope for the best. Thank you so much for watching 😊

[@jodeming5088]

As always another very informative video. How do you keep the plastic pots from blowing over during a rain storm.? Can you place that pot into a clay pit?

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Jo, thanks for tuning in to my channel. Glad you found it informative. The gravel adds weight to the plastic pot so it willl not topple over during heavy rains. Yes you can place the plastic pot into a clay pot if you so desire. Thanks again for watching, cheers and God bless.

[@TheAlleycat077]

Good day..im a new subscriber..and new to the orchid world..how often do you water those in the gravel without the root at the base...i have two top cut of an arachnis...and followed this method...greetings from Trinidad.

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi friend, thank you so much for visiting my channel. Welcome to the world of growing orchids🙌🏽👏🏽. I apply water to all the newly potted vandas at least every other day to ensure that they do not get dehydrated, as the climate is very hot where I reside.

Charcoal is optional. The vanda roots are aerial and gather moisture from the air. There is also a video demonstrating how i fertilize these orchids, that you can tune in to.
