[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Vanessa and welcome to my channel! Thanks so much for your sweet comment. Happy Easter! 😇🌸⚘️

[@sharonholmes4444]

Congratulations Amy! So beautiful 💚💜🩵 I've been with you since "my day one" of growing in 2017. Seven years!!! You and Rick L were my savior's! I still have my first three phals from seven years ago, believe it or not. HAPPY EASTER! ✨❇️🙏❇️✨

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thank you, Sharon! 7 years!! I'm so very glad you found my channel...you're such a great blessing to me. I'm really impressed that you still have your first 3 Phals. That's an accomplished! Happy Easter, dear friend. 😇🌵🏜🐶🌷🐣

[@mesicnielf]

Congratulations on your anniversary and happy Easter! I think I may be following you now and then for some 4 years now, I don’t even wanna think about how time passes like that! I don’t even grow orchids much as I don’t have good light conditions, hopefully change is around the corner regarding that…but I remember when I found your channel I was drawn to its calming aura - your voice, the colours, still camera shots, the blessings, the sheer love for the hobby. And that’s why I stay. Shared joy is wonderful to see. Bless you and take care :)

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful comment. It blessed me and made my day. I so appreciate you watching even though you don't grow many orchids, and I hope you can change your light situation so that you can. Many blessings, Amy 😇

[@rosebowen8924]

Blessings Amy, beautiful blooms. I don't know how many years I have been watching you but it's quite a while.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thank you so much! Many blessings, Amy 😇

[@genizi]

Congrats. Beautiful blooms. Thanks for sharing.

[@tammyinnalabama]

Happy Anniversary! I have loved following your channel and your wonderful advice for maybe 7 or 8 years?! You have taught me so much about orchids, cacti, and African Violets through the years. It's been fun doing our trials and errors. I still don't understand how I can grow some of the fancy orchids but the mini phals almost always fail. 🤷‍♀️ I'm having Easter blooms on my Thanksgiving cacti! They've been going strong since October and December! 😀 Your Easter orchid bloom show is spectacular! Now I want to know, for your anniversary, just how many of each type of orchid do you have in your collection? 🥰 Do you still have the African Violet that blooms with frilly white flowers? Is it Frozen in Time? Have a blessed Easter. 🙋‍♀️🌱🌷🐛🦋🐦

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Tammy! I'm so happy to hear your cacti are blooming! They've been blooming a LONG time! Yes, I still have Frozen in Time, and I wish I had included it in this tour. Thanks for the reminder! I hope you and your family have a blessed and wonderful Easter! It will be butterfly 🦋 season for you soon! 😇🦋🌷🐣✝️

[@annavoeggia816]

You have a wonderful orchid collection. The blooms are magnificent and so colorful. Love your Tolumnia collection. They're great little orchids. Thank you for sharing, and congrats on your 9 year youtube anniversary.😊

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thanks so much. These little Tolumnias have won me over. Lol. Happy growing! 😇

[@mahnli]

First, congratulations! 9 years is amazing! Second, THANK YOU, for helping us all to love and care for our orchids. You are so wonderfully calming and have a beautiful spirit. I just wanted to comment on your audio on this video was not as clear as the videos right before, not complaining but wanted to give you feedback on that. Take care and Happy Easter!

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! That made my day! And I noticed too about the volume. As I go from room to room, the acoustics change. It sounds best in the sun room. I appreciate your feedback.😊 Many blessings, my friend. 😇🌸⚘️

Congratulations 😊 I've been watching your channel for about a year. I love how you work with your plants . You bring it to a true art.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

That's so nice of you to say. Thank you! 😊

[@nanettealsop]

Happy 9th Anniversary Amy 🥳. The blooms are simply jaw-dropping and you really live up to your name "Orchid Whisperer". Always a joy to look at them - I'm so envious too, as I'm yet to get blooms like you 😊 I think I need to get a bit more light for mine though. Take care and will look forward to your next video 🙏🙏

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Nanette...it's always so nice to hear from you! 😊 Thanks always for your sweet comments. More light will make a huge difference with your orchids. Blessings to you, dear friend! 😇🌷⚘️

[@Joe-nj3bb]

Happy Easter/Spring! 🍀🌷🐣 I've been watching ever since I started learning how to care for orchids two years ago. This video shows how orchids get better with age. Here's a list of the new orchids I bought at a local orchid show (Nutmeg State CT) a couple of weeks: - Phal. Younghome Fragrance Love (Not fragrant yet) - Maxillaria tenuifolia 'Haupia' (Coconut fragrance is already starting to fade) - Dendrobium Peng Seng (Bottom leaves had some black spots, turned yellow and dropped and now one of the top leaves is doing the same thing. It has buds but it may be adjusting to the temperature difference from where it was raised. I only have one other Dendrobium, the kingianum and that is a recent purchase as well. I know water needs to be reduced during winter and no fertilizer until active growth) - Miltoniopsis Edie Brown (Fragrant after watering, potted in medium size bark which is fine for now, but I'm going to have it in a mix of medium/small bark, a little coconut coir and sphagnum moss.) I posted a video tour of my collection last week. Please check it out.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Joe, your plants look amazing! I must say, they look just perfect. Thanks for watching and Happy Easter! 🌷🐣⚘️🦋

[@MK-yu3tc]

[@linetteevans8337]

Congratulations! I wish I had the proper lighting to grow orchids. Yours are gorgeous. However, my Christmas cactus is like the energizer bunny, which keeps on blooming. I have Easter blooms.I have been watching for a couple of years getting all the pointers on the Christmas cactus care. A blessed Easter to you and your family.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I'm so happy to hear your cactus is thriving...that's amazing!! 😇🐶🌷🐣⚘️

Dear Amy, happy anniversary and belated happy Resurrection Day!!! Beautiful video, good growing, well done.Thank you for all the Easter Cactus information you’ve gathered for us, I had just about given up my search for one when I saw some where I least expected during Easter Week! I now have a pink and a red, the latter opening it’s first bloom today! They haven’t dropped a single bloom btw💁‍♀️ God bless you my dear American sister in Christ 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋‍♀️🤍🇮🇱

[@gayefanner731]

Thank you Wanda! 😇🐣⚘️

[@wandashaw3551]

You're very welcome, and your collection is awesome.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

@@wandashaw3551 I appreciate that, Wanda. I love taking care of them and spend quite a bit of mental energy on them...lol!

[@shirleyholt898]

Oh Amy, your orchids are just beautiful. I would love to know where you got your Tolumnia Gules. I just 💕 the color pink. My Tolumnia Jairak Flyer `Sahara’ and Valentine are in spike right now. I’m wishing you a blessed Resurrection Sunday. Been watching you a long time and enjoying seeing your gorgeous orchids. 🥰🐰❤️

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thank you so much, Shirley...you've always been such a blessing to me. 😊 I got my Tol. Gules from Krull-Smith. I just checked their site and they're available. They're under the category "Other Varieties". I have 2 Gules, and they're both vigorous plants. My Tolumnias are pure joy to me. Glad to hear you like them so well too. Have a beautiful Easter, my friend! 😇🐶🌷✝️🦋🐣❤️

[@mariannecole91]

Congratulations on your channel! I’m a new subscriber. 🎉. I just wanted to tell you how lucky you are to have found your Legato Peloric phal when you did. I hunted online for it, and it seems that it’s no longer being cultivated for sales into the U.S. What a shame! I guess a lot of people don’t care for pelorics, so the growers aren’t sending them here for sale as much. Also they are more difficult to keep breeding to type. I think they’re so unusual and beautiful. Anyway, really enjoyed your video of your beauty.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Marianne! Welcome to my channel! 🎊😊 Legato is my favorite. And you're right, it's impossible to find one now. That's the reason she's the star of the show when she's blooming. Happy growing and thanks for watching! 😇🌷⚘️Amy

[@dorenehodge3212]

Happy Easter and congradulations on your site. , like when the names are printed on as someimes we miss what you are saying ,for us trying to learn the names

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Dorene, thanks so much. I'll try to include as many names in print as I can, thank you for that feedback! Happy growing! Amy

[@BK-jp4ys]

Congratulations on your anniversary. Woww ur collection is so beautiful. May I ask you which medium you use for your phals? They all look gorgeous. And omg 12 years! Wow Thanks. 🎉❤

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thanks so much! I use Orchiata bark and Besgrow NZ sphagnum moss with my Phals. I'll be doing a video next week about it. Thanks again for watching and happy growing! 😇🌺🌸

[@noushi8659]

Congrats on your 9th anniversary Amy, and happy Easter! I've been following you for about five years now and much appreciate your sound advices. I have two questions for you: I know that you switch to MSU fertilizer a while ago. Do you still use and recommend it? I noticed some of your older Phals are leaning towards light I guess. I have the exact same situation. Has using grow light fixed it? I know in nature they grow like that when attached to a tree trunk, but it is hard to water them in a pot

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thanks so much for watching me all these years! I switched to MSU fertilizer January 2023. I still use it and highly recommend it. It's easy to use, and I don't supplement with anything. My older Phals do lean toward the light. They get so heavy, and it's actually what they do in nature so the rain will fall away from the crown of the plant. Using the grow lights doesn't fix it in my environment...they still grow toward the natural light source. They're very smart, they know where the real sunlight is! lol! Happy growing and thank you again for your kind comment. :)

[@MichelleKusuda]

Do you no longer do water culture?

[@OrchidWhisperer]

I use it only as a temporary method, not long term. I have a playlist about water culture if you need info. Happy growing!😇

[@MichelleKusuda]

@@OrchidWhisperer Do you also have.a video on why you no longer use it long term? Did your environment change? Have a blessed day! Thanks in advance.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

@@MichelleKusuda yes, I explain why I don't use it long term in my videos. And using bark and moss is so much easier for me. 😇🌷
