I need help! My Orchid is ten years old. It blooms about every 6 months. It's been repotted 2x. It really needs it now. Several dead roots. I'm very nervous to do it.. Maybe I

The orchid fairy!!🧚💞

[@seeingredtanya]

I think it’s so funny when people think their orchid will bloom within a month or two and are disappointed when they don’t. I’m only new to this hobby by 2 years, but you have taught me so much, and I wish everyone knew these things. My kids know that I take care of my orchids and they tell their friends parents about me, so I tell them about you 😂 i have learned to love the plant, because the blooms are only present for a fraction of the year.

[@JillSmith-c9j]

So blessed to see another video you have taught me so much 🙏 💓

[@JillSmith-c9j]

Amen

[@lantrick]

I've been watching you for years and I've got to say your setup has never looked better!! Well done. I'm writing this after seeing only the first few seconds of the opening shot.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Oooh so glad! Gotta tide it a bit tho.. after the heat 😁 🧡

[@PlantPerson58]

I got my first orchid earlier in the year. Your videos are really helpful. The blooms lasted a long time, and the foliage has been growing well all summer. I can’t wait until it blooms again. I was skeptical I could keep one alive, but now that I’ve had some success I plan to get more.

[@iamLynzieJ]

Hi. I've been watching you since I've seen your channel. And I've learned alot from you since then. Thank you so much for all the tips 🤗

[@aniram95665]

I just had to comment to let you know that I LOVE this new recording position BECAUSE I get to see MORE of your beautiful displays. U know commenting at 30 seconds in might be poor form but I needed to let you know, LOVE seeing as many of your orchids as possible.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Yay! Thank you! :)))

[@natureshelpinghand]

Love these videos I have learned so much. Today I looked and have a new growth starting on my Shari Baby. No potions involved just followed the videos you post. Thank you

[@rhysgriffiths3740]

Thanks had got a few in bloom but a few that haven't rebloomed in a year now but look healthy with dark green leaves so just leave alone and they come again.

[@joananderson7446]

Thank you for your educational video! I was told aloe rubbed on the stems would create secondary spikes to grow. I tried it about one week ago. So far, nothing has happened.

[@Firespirit7]

Never had a stressed orchid bloom. However I have had a stressed orchid put out Keikis. One of my dendrobiums was attacked by snails recently and it grew 3 clones.

[@faeryegrrl777]

It's been extremely hot this summer in my area, and now both of my Phal. Bellina 'Ponkan' seedlings are starting spikes! I can't wait to see and smell a Bellina 🌞

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Great information Dani, I so enjoy all the great information and I love myth busters.😊

[@paulinemegson8519]

People are just SO attached to their “hacks” tho. They get utterly defensive, like you called their kid ugly, if you even “suggest” that they’re wasting time. This isn’t specific to orchids either; the amount of crap I got was mindblowing, from a gardening page when I advised a lady who wanted to try the “potato hack” with a rose cutting. I simply advised her that it didn’t DO anything, and it was simpler to just skip the whole palaver and just plant the cutting. Not to mention “daring” to advise against the infamous ice cube hack for orchids!! Why on earth that EVER got traction I will NEVER understand, but it’s still a holy article of faith for some people.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

tell me about it :)) well if I had to take a wild guess from my imagination, I think it could be due to a lot of money spent on a marketing campaign.. allegedly :P

[@karenrobbins6656]

You are so helpful with all things orchid. Looking forward to more videos

[@edmzoneavicii]

Hi dani. I want to know if you use any artificial fertilizers.

[@msxjade]

Lol I still try but def mines just keeps giving me new roots and leaves but no stems lol

[@ms5flowers]

I’ve been watching your videos for sometime now. I follow your instructions as closely as possible. A few of my orchids bloomed early spring but since nothing. We have had a very hot summer here in Albuquerque NM. Could that be the reason there not blooming. Leaves and roots look healthy. Any advice will certainly be appreciated. I’m 88 years of age and love the hobby I’ve taken up after 47 years of working.

[@paulinemegson8519]

Tbh most areas are experiencing out of normal weather conditions these days. Any change in climate can change a plants growth habits. Maybe experiment a little with your plants with regard to humidity, watering, amount of light and other variables? Given your area climatically, you’re pretty similar to Dani in Cyprus, heat and humidity wise so her regimen should work ok for you. Keep in mind tho, most of hers are indoors under lights.

[@sheesh_baby]

Wish you the best of luck 🙏❤

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, it really just depends on the type of orchids you have, for example store bought Phalaenopsis should not bloom during warm seasons, that is their growing season, so what you are experiencing might be very normal and the orchids will bloom when the temperatures go down :)

[@janeqintam]

Love your shirt 😊

[@Orchids365]

This is wonderful! Those viral hacks are definitely the worse 🤦🏼‍♀️.

[@syasot88]

I may be late to realizing this this--but it's so wonderful to finally see your beautiful face after all this time 💖,🥰🙌🏽

[@glovanajnbaptiste2272]

I have never used bloom boosters . I use regular fertilizers and get lots of blooms on all my orchids .

[@mwmranch]

Hello Danny...it would be really nice if you could offer more of the orchid prints that you had a couple of years ago. I was in a situation where I couldn't afford to buy at the time and it would be nice to see more limited edition prints offered from time to time...especially with the holidays coming in a few months...jmo. Thanks!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Working on it! 🤫😁

[@goshafrau3636]

Hey Danny, Can you comment on one of the Hapiness Garden videos, where they revive leafless dry orchids(only roots and stem left). It's completely nuts to me how they are able to do that.

[@deemaxwell4172]

Happiness Garden vidoes are mass produced and designed simply to generate the most amount of money for the factory-like producer, for the least amount of effort. They are just fake. If all these wonderful "hacks" actually worked, orchid producers would be using these methods instead of the ones that actually work - that is using the right amount of light, temperature, humidity and growing conditions.

[@jacquelinevisser4507]

I saw rosewater in a Facebook video just the other day!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Oooh I have forseen it! 🤣🤣

[@EFA512]

I have a question about the bloom booster. I have a large cymbidium and have been told to use 2 different fertilizers. One for veg. growth and one for blooming. What do you think?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, I honestly don't think it makes that much of a difference which you use, you can use both of them alternatively and stop fertilising when the cooler season starts (no bloom boosters in the cool down for Cymbidiums) Nothing wrong with using both they have good nutrients, I just don't believe one will induce blooming over the other. For Cymbidiums definitely the change in temperature will start the blooming season :)

[@EFA512]

@MissOrchidGirl ok, thanks! I bought it in February, so this will be my first year with it. And I'll definitely have to bring it in when it gets cold. Our winters can be harsh. Oh darn, big beautiful blooms in my living room. 🤣 Thanks again for the advice! 😃

[@michaelwiggins9926]

I used to have a book from the 80s which said to put orchids in a dark room for up to 3 weeks to trigger blooming.

[@JillSmith-c9j]

Hi Danny another great video thank you so much blessings 🙌 🙏

[@JillSmith-c9j]

Amen 🙏

[@denisedavis5267]

Danny, what breed orchid did you show toward the end in the self-watering pot? I appreciate these videos. I now have a couple dozen orchids and 6 breeds. These beauties are wonderful!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, name should appear on the screen, it's a coelogyne :)

[@billkevindelrosarioofficial]

my phalaenopsis produced a flower spike. But instead of flower bloom, a new baby phalaenopsis grew. It has no roots since it grew directly on the tip of the flower spikes. I am afraid that if I cut out the spike, the new plant will die and not develop its own roots. What should I do? Thanks for the advice.

[@ap3r3z29]

@missorchidgirl is it possible for an orchid to regrow its axis stem? Let's say I have an orchid that I have been trying to save from a purchase I did from a big box store, I took it out of the medium it was in and all of the roots were soggy basically dead. I have been trying to grow roots on this small orchid for a while I had a new leaf, but lost all of the roots and have been trying to grow roots, I even tried root growing hormone And now I did the unthinkable by accident in the process of cleaning what I had left of the axis it accidentally snapped on me and all i have left was the bottom of the orchid with a few leaves would it be possible to grow roots from that bottom point of the orchid and begin a new axis? Any thoughts and opinions from anyone are appreciated thank you all #helpmesavemyorchid 🙏😢

[@jinnytripp9940]

Will neem oil harm them? We have lots of fire ants. My orchids are outside.

[@anndwandner3664]

Sooooo I shouldn’t use the fertilizer I bought from RepotMe?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Why wouldn't you use it? 🤔

[@angelic9569]

orchids of course need some light at night as in the wild they have the cooling light of the moon.

[@Brads-strung-out]

So Im an old school gangster, and for some reason Im now into orchids. Not sure why but they have now become my thing, I dont understand but Im going with it. I checked my phone this morning and had an email confirming my purchase from an Orchid shop and very vaguely remember the purchase, anyway, Look forward to learning from you.

[@samuelgoodwin6486]

Some plants do benefit from a proper day night cycle and a proper night rest. I don't know for orchids but it wouldn't surprise me if they did get some benefit from it. Some plants will bloom better for you with a proper night rest with no light pollution they'll still bloom. If you give light pollution, it will just take it a lot longer and you won't get as many blooms. Especially for plants that daylight cycle triggers blooming. Like cannabis, cannabis needs the shortening hours of the day to bloom. It will help signify a season change. But you need a light cycle change for that . Starting somewhere like 18 hours of daylight and dropping it to just 10 hours a daylight. Any light pollution during that step down in hours will slow the blooming process.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

oh somebody must have mixed the two then :))))

[@samuelgoodwin6486]

@@MissOrchidGirl the light pollution at night only matters while it is in bloom.. I treat my orchids the same. I grow in a grow tent. And I do notice quite a few blooms when I adjust light levels/ daylight hours. But I really don't care about the light pollution because I'm not trying to maximize yield so I haven't tested light pollution during night rest. I think the test proper. You would need multiple clones of the same plant so that you have a control group and they all bloom at the same time . Otherwise it could be a placebo. I think I got more flowers, I don't think I got more flowers

[@goshafrau3636]

Hi Danny, Blooming is nothing, but these videos where orchids are leafless, rotten and seem completely dead. And they manage to sprout them again. Completely blew my mind. I was like 'whaaaaat?', and was wondering what you think about this. Example video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZXHg2igmpKSaNk

[@igf_d4189]

Would you be down to react to some of these super misleading / misinformative shorts video i see going around about orchids? everything from propagating an orchid from a cut flowerspike, to making them magically bloom or whatever when what they start with is literally smthn that looks dead lol

[@MissOrchidGirl]

hmmmm it could be fun, I just don't use tik tok but maybe some viewers could send in videos :) I actually just filmed a 'reaction'... more of a discussion lol on an article I got recommended on how to propagate orchids.. through cuttings :P maybe I'll post it on Monday :D
