[@mary.ensorvuatalevuvuatale4628]

Wonderful I loved your Video

[@leonardozamora5279]

Please never stop making these videos. I haven't found any other channel that talks about orchids in the way you do. Love

[@lynnlittle11]

Agreed

[@myrnanordhougen4382]

What is the best fertilizer for orchards?

[@PipeScholar]

Found her channel a few years ago, and it's still the best around

[@NoName-rx9ek]

No one is more informative and has as much experience. She takes the time to explain. Amazing

[@baltschoolofdance]

Danny I didn’t think it was possible for your videos to be any better, but seeing your face just takes your amazing content to a whole other level! We love you so much!

[@graceaxisa4213]

Yes! Why is that? Seeing her beautiful face and smile, which match her voice to perfection, somehow makes these videos even better (if that were at all possible). I have learnt so much from these wonderful videos ❤

[@bugsandbrushes]

I am currently living in a sea of blooms. It's the first thing I see when I wake up, the last thing I get to enjoy before going to bed and always surrounding me while I work. Being surrounded by all this colour really is a wonderful experience, a little joy that calms my brain. I am so proud of my indoor jungle and when it comes to orchids, I could't have done it withou you - thank you!

[@InnerTempleByDianaMotta]

I follow you for years and I have always admired your competence and kindness. I am so happy to see your face for the first time; you are exactly how I imagined you would be, lovely.

[@juliehudgins524]

This is the first year I have multiple Phals re-blooming on my watch so I know it’s not a fluke! I learned most of what I know about orchids from you & I am so excited that I finally got it right. Thriving & blooming & no longer just surviving! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience.💗

[@rfoley402]

I'm a new orchid parent and I am learning so much from your channel, thank you thank you!

[@birdmadgrrrl]

What a beautiful face to go with beautiful flowers! I love your videos either way (and my orchids do too!) but what a pleasant surprise!

[@voodoochile7581]

She’s very pretty

[@MsSweetSunshine904]

Yes! So glad she decided to start showing her beautiful face! I love the old videos since she does in fact have such a wealth of valuable information. But I love the connection we can have with her now that we also see her lovely face too!

[@rosestines66]

Dani is absolutely gorgeous n she is very knowledgeable about her orchids n I love listening to her voice it’s very smoothing ❤

[@melodylamour]

I'm in sw Florida, zone 10a. My kid bought me a Mystic Blue Phalaenopsis in 2022. It's now 2 years later, mid April. My plant is just now allowing me it's first stems/spikes since I got it. It was flowering when I got it, of course. I assume it will be white, not blue. I'm guessing you were talking about people whose didn't cut their stems all year long. I did cut my stem 2 years ago as it all started dying back. I'm just grateful I didn't kill her during those 2 years, lol. I'm so excited to finally get to see her Bloom again! Thank you for all you do to educate us fledgings. Hugs!

[@christineflygirl]

Great tips. I didn't know about the 'no moving the orchid until all buds are open'; I will be sure to respect that in the future. Thanks again.

[@Dorothyfaganartist]

Oh I love your channel! I received an philanopsis for my 70th birthday earlier this summer ~ and you have given me hope that I can keep it beautiful and thriving. And who knows, maybe even turn my studio into an orchid house! So excited!!! Thank you:)

[@Carmen161595]

I received my first orchid (a phalaenopsis) in September last year with a beautiful flower spike with half the buds open. After the blooms ended around January (I’m in the southern hemisphere), I stuck it on my TV cabinet. It seemed happy without water for months on end but gradually one leaf got slightly droopy. I found out later why. The entire core of the potting medium was sphagnum moss! I decided it was time to learn to care for my orchid so I came to KZbin and found you! After watching your videos I searched shops to find the right pot and potting medium. I bought multiple products to get it right. rePotme wasn’t available in my area. Within three days of repotting I had a new leaf! Voila! I will be buying more orchids this winter. I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks for your fabulous videos! 😘

[@MaryAnnEstes-du1oi]

I love your tutorials!!! Thank u for posting & providing us w/a good source for pots & planting medium!!

[@MamasOrchids]

Love the Sogo Sakura and Ice Whisper, thanks for sharing the tips!

[@debralewis621]

Thank you so much for answering my questions about aerial roots and repotting! I’m now going to watch your other videos on orchids. This is my first orchid, which was blooming when my daughter gave it to me. The blooms became spent, but the two leaves were very beautiful! My daughter thought the plant was dying because all the flowers died and she believed once the flowers were spent, the plant was DONE and she threw it in the kitchen’s garbage pail! Thankfully, I had something to discard and saw the plant. I immediately took it out and no damage had occurred!!!!! I am going to repot it, which lead me to your channel and your wonderful help! Thank you SOOOOOOO much--Debi

[@bineshbheekhoo2210]

Thanks for sharing. The new video format is great. Keep on with the wonderful work.

[@Rachel-art-and-design]

I have my first large blooms, so exciting. Love your tips.

[@denisedavis5267]

I’m so blessed to have found you!

[@ginihandajani]

So useful video thank you so much. You are amazing, the orchids are also beautiful.

[@GrowingGreenNZ]

I love how simple your videos are! A lot of orchid videos get into too much gibberish but yours are so easy to understand! Thank you 💕

[@ydabney3857]

At the start of Summer I cut all my flower spikes off! I can’t wait for the blooming season! Thanks so for all the wonderful information.

[@brandenbeuschlein2745]

One of my favorite episodes ever.

[@sherylcannistra4727]

[@pattibrotz3684]

Omg! I have the Ice Whisper too and mine puts out many blooms! Thanks for all your info!

[@SuperBaybee3]

Your collection of orchids are as beautiful as you are and I admire your presentations. I have some cymbidium outdoor orchids but you’re inspiring me to start a collection of phalaenopsis to care inside the house. Thank you so much!

[@williamschaecher7641]

Love your new format!

[@user-bu5mv1iy9h]

Videos are so helpful. They are a pleasure to watch. I have been growing orchids for 5 years now. I live in northern Michigan so sunlight is a winter challenge. I have 12 plants, 7 of which are in bloom, minis and maxis. These videos are easy to find on whatever topic I need.

[@adelegelinas4960]

I love the orchid with the yellow and pink blooms.

Wow amazing to see all your beautiful colorful flowers in bloom! And your pretty matching sweater! Definitely love finally seeing your face 😍 💕 Thanks for the tips!

[@surrahsolid3773]

Yes! My small flower phal had a terminal spike, finally popped a keiki out about 6-8 months ago, and I am so shocked that it has 3 flower spikes this season already! I was in utter disbelief, but yes the small flowered phals bloom so much more!

[@teresabrockett7525]

Very helpful video. Sometimes it's nice to have all the basics in one video. I'm saving this one to my Pinterest board, "Orchid Care Information". Thanks Danni. And Happy Easter from Maine, USA 🐣

Thank you for this video! I’m new to orchids and I have done quite a few things wrong but with your guidance as the orchid guru with the best videos on KZbin I hope that I will become a good orchid mama.

Hi, you phalaenopsis are gorgeous! I enjoyed the video very much. Thanks 😊

[@artpalki]

Such an informative video. Wow!!

[@ROL332]

You are a wonderful teacher. Your plants are beautiful as well as yourself. What I have learned is orchids are way to fussy for me. I have a lovely back enclosed porch very well lit with morning to late afternoon sun where i can keep them out of the direct light only problem it gets cold at night so I have to take them in,now I learn I am stressing them out when I move them. The list goes on and on. They are beautiful now that they are new and budding out but when they stop and I cut them back I will be done. If they grow fine but no more fussing. Thanks so much for what you do but a beautiful plant is not always a happy owner. Carol

[@user-jw4fz3sq1w]

Thank you so much for the information😊

[@Rouke2610]

Hey Danny! Ur videos are so inspiring and awesome! Finding ur channel completely changed the way I wanna care for my orchid hobby. At first the IDs of my phals weren't the most important thing for me, but you totally changed it. I'm so happy to find out all the names of my flowershop nameless orchids and I can't wait to find them all out! The orchid at 8:37 is one of my favourite ones, so I've spent a lot of time finding the ID and I got lucky yesterday! It's called Phalaenopsis Younghome Chocolate (big lip), I hope I was able to help here :'3 keep up ur great work!

[@marenski5327]

Your blooms are just next level gorgeous. I'm looking to improve the overall health this year of my orchids. Thanks for your videos its easy to take the information in when i watch your uploads. 🇦🇺❤

Hi Danny, I listened to your video’s and follow you on the Instagram, but I’m happy to finally see you in person and connect the pretty and friendly face to the video’s. Keep up the good work!😍👍

[@phillowery8173]

I have numerous orchids that have been blooming since Christmas. They get afternoon sun. Must like the window I have them in. ❤

[@MrMaxsPapa]

What a pleasant surprise to see your pretty face! I had you pictured with blonde hair but it's just good to see you. I have learned so much from you and am nursing my first phalaenopsis orchid which we received in Oct of 2021 from a neighbor. It is a giant bloomer and had 10 huge blooms and I cut it back and it produced another 6 blooms. It's April and I am watching the flower spike grow every day. I sit it outside in the winter here in Phoenix and it gets a lot of reflected light on the east side. Thanks for all your education on orchids and I tell everybody that asks to watch your videos.

[@avis6442]

I have watched and learned so much from your videos.Thank you! Today was the first time I enjoyed watching YOU, I don’t think I’ve ever seen your face; you are as beautiful (if not more so) as your lovely orchids!! Thx! 💕

[@jajatime9724]

That is so true about the stress, I bought a mini orchid with lots of buds and was so happy to see a new flower stark starting to come out. When I got it home, after a few days, some of the buds started to dry up and the new flower stark just tried up. So disappointed. I had just given up on orchids and decided to try again, and this happened!! I'm so grateful for your channel because you give us a better understanding of this plant and what to look out for. Update, after a couple weeks the rest of the buds opened up.

[@nanettealsop]

Wow! You are so pretty 😍 It's great to see your face after all this time. Your orchids are just stunning 🥳

[@AnggrekKakYusri]

It's always fun to see your very inspiring videos, thank you for always sharing.😊 love from Indonesia

[@marco9575]

Amazing! On the topic of light I can safely confirm that the more they get, the more they bloom. If they are put in darker spots they will not know what to do with the water you give them (root rot alert) and it will be just a green salad on a shelf

[@Irek1994]

Hi Danny I enjoy your videos so much. Wondering where you get your tin pots they are so colourful and pretty? Thanks for all your helpful information 😊

[@ellietobe]

One of my kids bought me an orchid last year for Mother’s Day. I do have many indoor plants but had never owned an orchid. I honestly did not have any idea what to do with it. I had to look up how to water it. After the orchid was finished blooming I thought that it would die….but it didn’t! After a few weeks it was still alive so I decided to read up on these plants to see what people do with them. I bought it a new pot and some new medium for when I repotted it. This plant somehow began growing a new bloom stalk a few months ago. That stalk branched out into two more stalks. It is now fully bloomed and looks lovely. It had two separate bloom stalks when I first received it so I was surprised that it only grew one new bloom stalk and even more surprised when that stalk branched into two more branches. I have no ability to regulate the room temperature for my plants. Somehow the this one managed to produce a beautiful crop of flowers anyway. I simply watered it on a regular schedule and used the Repotme fertilizer every week. I do skip one week of fertilizer and use just distilled water. I have used that same fertilizer on some of my other types of plants and they seem to like it as well. I did find that I need to stake the bloom stalk as the stalk is growing. If you do not stake it as its is growing the stalk hardens and will not bend….or straighten. I didn’t realize that this stalk was going to grow two more stems from the original stem so I thought that it was hooked on the stake far enough. Wrong. It needed to be clipped onto that stake at least four inches further up the stalk. Oh well. So far it has not broken but the flowers are so heavy that they pull the branches down quite a bit. It is still beautiful. I don’t feel that I did anything to promote the growth of this beautiful plant. I just did standard orchid maintenance. I guess I will indulge in another one since this one has done so well and hope to get another that grows just as well. They are lovely plants.

[@GrowingHomeGardening]

Thank you! My orchid produces flower spikes and buds but each bud dries up and falls off one by one before getting before getting chance to bloom. This has happened 2 years in a row now. Side note: I love your orchid colored makeup :)

She died last year and I was determined to have orchids to remember her with I bought some very pretty ones after Valentines. I have now kept them a live and they are thriving and it is almost mid April!!! As sad as this is it is a record for me lol. This is all because of YOU!!!! I have even re-potted them!!!

Awesome video and finally nice to see the person behind those hands we used to. My Phylanapsis orchids are just producing more leaves and no spikes yet. In one plant, the leaf size is nearly 40cm and it is dragging the pot down ( I had to add support). I have 8 plants, oldest one is 10 year old. What should I feed them to flower ?

[@jjbud3124]

I have a Phalaenopsis that my "snowbird" neighbor gave me when she left in the spring (from Florida). She bought probably last Nov/Dec. It is my first orchid ever. When it finished blooming (June?) I cut off the spikes and I guess I've been giving it good care because it is very healthy with 6-7 leaves with 2 new leaves during the summer and it has healthy roots. Since I'm in Florida and it's pretty hot still (between 75-80 in the house), I'm not able to give it any cool nights until maybe November/December. I can leave it on a screened porch during the cool nights. The humidity in the house usually does not go below 35-40 and lots of time it is higher. My question is, how long after the cool-down period do flower spikes appear?

[@robyn3349]

Thank you!

[@Americasanders]

I live in a tropical desert climate. I have two types of weather here; dry heat long summers that starts around late may to October, and what I considered winter might be autumn for others- 😅

[@franmclachlan9120]

I was repotting a phal today and noticed two new flower spikes forming (about an inch long each). Unfortunately I accidentally broke off the tip of one of them. Have I lost it? Or will it continue to grow?

[@user-fg5sx8cl5h]

Hi Danny this is all my orchards. I need fertilizer blessings 🙌

[@eerrbb6241]

thanks for the info.i'm just starting to learn how to grow phalaenopsis, and it start for small flowers types. and i'm confuse whether to cut the old flower spikes or let it be, since it keep produce knop.

[@bibicheknauf4163]

I am sooooo jealous of your Mini Mark😱. The first time I saw one was on one of your videos a few years back and it took me over 2 years to find one. Finally, it arrived, quite small but it gave me 2 spikes this year but not many blooms. But, oh, so cute😍

[@renatecormick7399]

I’ve had the same experience with regard to mini mark. I could not find one in Australia until a couple of months ago and it was very inexpensive although not a very big plant. I’m really nursing it along in the hope that I’ll get some blooms in our next spring. So exciting and can’t wait!
