I’m a new subscriber, for less than a month. I consume a lot of Dannys videos. Someone have me three dried out orchids that she couldn’t take care of due to a newborn baby. I have never had any orchids before and now I educate myself with KZbin videos. I’m becoming slightly obsessed... 🙂🙂🙂 /Lisbeth from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@carpediem.9]

Love the background dove sounds :) don't get frustrated with them Danny when they make lots of noises it's so beautiful and suits the relaxing orchid space perfectly I think :)

I could listen to Dane talk about orchid plant anatomy all day long. MissOrchidGirl is one of my favorite garden channels now. :)

Where do u order ur orchids from, Dani?

I love all of your videos!! Do you or anyone else now why I have brown spots on my roots. Almost like they are burnt?

[@Mel-sv1ux]

Hello from Southern USA. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your channel!! I am fairly new to orchids (1 year) and am already addicted! I watch your videos most every day and binge watch frequently. Just want to thank you so very much. Please continue what you are doing for our hobby.

[@JonalizaEmpay]

Thank you so much Ms Dani, my mom in law just bought phals and I was the one who is responsible to take care of it. I am lucky that I have guide for taking care of phals journey. I pray that It will work for me. I failed her on her vanda collection last year. I will be checking out your FB page and here also. Thank you and God bless you more🙏

[@robynmitchell199]

Excited to watch this! I found both the vanilla orchid AND Ludisia discolor at the flower shop yesterday for $17 ( 15 euros) Total! They look so happy/ healthy! Not exactly sure all the facts about caring for them, but I think I have a pretty good idea,thanks to your videos!

[@karlabollinger5331]

Really loved the little dove taking her bath. A nice addition to the orchids. I live in wyoming in USA watch you often.😀

[@Erki750]

I love the beginning with the dove😍🕊

[@tinakauder6605]

Dear Danny, besides from your always informativ videos and tutorials in general, I have totally started to actually wait for your "translations" of the turtle doves comments. They are such wonderful and sometimes hilarious addition to your videos, absolutely adorable. And since it's only a flash of some letters in the corner somewhere, I'm totally sure no one could ever be offended or annoyed by these pop-up "translations". Your pigeons in the grow space are such a wonderful combination, no matter the circumstances of how they got there. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr!

[@Stumpybear7640]

Aw Danny, I wd love for you to keep the repotting at normal time. It is Asmr for me 💖

The dove's commentary going on the background is hilarious! Have a great holidays, Danny! 💖

[@patsfreund9164]

Nice video on repotting phals. I like your rules for orchid medium. Very helpful for me. And, loved seeing one of the 'girls'. They are a nice addition; add pleasure to watching. Have a Happy New Year!

[@larrymwilson]

Good video. We are professional growers and of course we re-pot daily. I for the life of me can't figure out why some growers pack their orchids in such tight sphagnum. I know most of the time it's for transportation purposes so the plant won't dry out, but most people won't repot when they buy the plant. We never sell plants packed in sphagnum. They are all potted in a medium size sanitized bark medium. We ship a lot of plants via air and have never had any problems. Great video. Best of luck.

[@ldg92553]

Love the doves! I needed this video so much. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. Merry Christmas and happy holidays

[@rondamcbride6607]

I have a little morning dove my standard poodle brought me while out on my walk. It was a tiny baby and I didn’t know what it was. Why she dropped it at my feet I have no idea. I feed it and at every stage I would think how in the world am I going to teach it to eat seed, how am I going to let it go when it is time. At every stage the little dove just learned what to do. My husband and I let it go in our back yard with many tears. The little dove comes everyday to eat twice a day. We love him or her (we don’t know) so much. So I just love seeing your beautiful doves. 🥰 I love all your show. I count on them when I need help!!!! Which is often 😳

Hi Danny do you have a video on how to repot big phals with lots of air roots? I reported one and tried to put the air-roots inside the pot then I saw one of your videos that said this is not a good idea....soooooo how do you repot a big orchid with loads of long air roots?

[@h.n.2519]

I discovered your account, because i'm currently trying to save a neglected orchid. (It's my mom's.. not mine, tho.) I'm actually not into orchids, but i guess i'm discovering how pretty and unique they are. I already have so much plants and now your videos are getting me into orchids, too🙈 Stop!😂 Marry Christmas :)

[@TheNaturalRach73]

Me too!! Brought my previously dying orchid for 50p( couldn't leave it on its own on shelf) Due to Dani's videos it's doing so well. About to re-flower! So I've brought another one!!😆😆

I love those sounds 12:26 - 12:37. Maybe you should do some ASMR-type videos of repotting orchids with soft music in the background ^^ It's very satisfying and relaxing.

[@orquihobby1194]

Hi Danny I’ve been reported some phal orchids in bark they are very healthy But I’ve been noticed some little flies I’m wondering if they came in the bark cuz the hide in it I don’t know what to do ? One more question My orchids are growing a lots of leaves Will they soon have spikes ? I live in Phoenix az USA I’m expecting they will show spikes in April but I might be wrong Please let me know your opinion! And happy holidays to you and family

[@jd1330]

Hi! My aerial roots are cracking BUT i have a shot of new growth. What do you think?

[@AkiraChan24]

Hi! I'm new to orchid growing and still learning a lot (I'm sure I'm doing everything wrong - lol!) I don't have a lot of east-facing windows in my house and am keeping several in my little south-facing bathroom window. There's a screen and lace curtain to disperse the light a bit, but I'm wondering what kind of synthetic lighting I should use to compensate for the lack of bright conditions. Do I need to buy a plant growing light, or is a lamp good enough? Thanks! I'm enjoying your videos a lot ^^

[@lisacurtis8162]

I got some LED lights

[@vee_ago2830]

Fabulous tips! I repotted 2 orchids, & they were a pain!! I might need bigger pots & bark!

[@paulaamadeo4725]

Hello Danny, I love watching your repotting videos. Always informative. I need to repot some phals as well. I have some that have roots growing through the ventilation holes. I am concerned that I might damage the roots when removing them from the old pots. How do you remove your phals from old pots that have this situation? Does moistening them beforehand do the trick, or do you cut the pots, or do something else? Thanks - and Happy Holidays!

[@ITryToBeNice]

I've got this problem too! Some of mine have got roots growing wildly out of the holes and I don't think I could ever get them out without tearing them up.

[@mish3595]

Repotted a struggling orchid from a nursery. And it also had that peat moss in the Centre. It like became like sponge around the area. The roots weren't bad but not a lot of roots there so not great. Eventually it would of killed off roots completely. Just the orchid was just handled roughly and at some stage fell out its pot.

[@moslemhindawe8172]

Hi dane. I want to ask you, I did as you did. A month ago, but the orchid did not come out of new roots, even though they have green leaves. What is the problem? Can I have a season so that new roots appear. Thank you very much.

[@margaretkeay97]

Hi, I'm a new subscriber. Love what I've seen so far! Could you please tell me what type of bark you use?

[@ministore817fmi7]

Hi been watching your video cause I want to learn how to care orchids. I got 15 seedlings which I up potted only cause they’re too tiny im afraid I might kill them so yeah I up potted them and they’re all fine and getting bigger maybe before they got flowers I will repot them

[@ministore817fmi7]

By the way I’m from Philippines which is very hot weather here😊

[@doroteyaagayna5714]

I have the orchid at 16:09. It's labeled Autumn wind by the flower shop I bought it from.

[@chinmaymampilly2986]

We don't have sphagnum moss around here. But the alternative used here is cocopeat. Can i use cocopeat with clay balls?

[@TheDonna1961]

Hi, I just received a full sized white phal that is in spike and is potted in moss, would you recommend repotting now or waiting until it’s finished blooming.

[@vildhallon4709]

I have a beautiful phal that just won't rebloom. It's been growing leafs and doing well for two years now. I tried the temperature drop for over a month and it still will not put out a flower spike. Any tips? (I fertilize regularly and it gets good light)

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, some Phals just need a bit more. Drop a bit more the temps, maintain them in the day too not just night. Just make things a bit more 'dramatic' and I hope it will work :)

[@ldg92553]

VildHallon I received a large phal as as a gift three years ago. I couldn’t get it to rebloom. I tried everything you did except one thing. I too thought the light was great because of healthy root and leaf growth. One day I decided to move it. Not sure why. Within a month I had a flower spike. I couldn’t believe it. Not sure if the temperature is different or because of the lighting but it spiked. It’s even pushing out more roots. I didn’t change anything but location. I thought it was super happy where I had it before but now I know. Dani is correct environment and location is everything.

[@vildhallon4709]

@@ldg92553 thank you! I shall try it, keeping my fingers crossed

[@ldg92553]

VildHallon I actually moved mine to a bright shaded area in front of a north facing window. Every plant is different. Who knows yours might like another area. I wish you the best of luck. Couldn’t believe the joy I got when I saw the flowers spike.

[@zachduperron8543]

This is the main reason I quit growing orchids is because they refused to bloom no matter how hard I tried

[@joaovitoralmeida9279]

Hi, Danny!! I’m a huge fan from Brazil! I even started a collection of Phalaenopsis and Cattleyas because of your videos and amazing orchids!! Recently I’ve been having trouble with my Phals, everytime I repot them, they lose all the roots :( I’ve tried to repot with all your tips and they keep dying after a couple of weeks. The funny part is that even Cattleyas that have more sensitive roots than Phals, end up very well after repotting. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong :(

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, I'm sure there is an explanation :) so what are the roots potted into originally and what is the medium you pot them in?

[@joaovitoralmeida9279]

MissOrchidGirl they usually come potted into bark or coconut husks... and I am using a mix with bark chips and Sphagum Moss, I think they are not liking it very much 😓

[@MissOrchidGirl]

When you water make sure things are not very wet, maybe in their old medium things were not wet for long. Also ventilation holes are a must. Don't let the roots super dry either, the aim is to find the balance. That is just a guess, there might be quite a few other issues, starting from the quality of the products, to the state of the roots themselves, but let's start with what we can control easiest :)

[@joaovitoralmeida9279]

MissOrchidGirl thank you sooo much for helping me!! I hope my Phals get recovered, I’ll try to change the brand of the medium I’m using and see if there is any difference on how my orchids react! Thank you, Danny!! You are very inspirational!!

[@chloerosenberg8466]

Hi Orchid girl. I'm wondering if I should repot my moth orchid? it is growing new roots, and the bottom roots are green. I'm just wondering if the bark has got to wet over watering for little while.

Are dry/withered ends of the leaves a sign of too much moisture? I have a plant starting to bloom but it’s been taking its time and I’ve also noticed some leaves “burnt” at the tips.

We live in Michigan so we have cold weather in winter. What suppliers do you suggest for pots and medium? Also your leaves are shiny. Is there something I can use on mine? Only have 2 so far but just loving them.

[@vanessa5637]

I have a question... I recently noticed ants in my orchid Am I okay with leaving them be or are they a problem? They’re in the media/roots not in the buds

[@ninathesupercat925]

Hey, do you still have that ant-problem? If so, you should check your orchid on aphids. Ants often indicate aphids on a plant because they milk them (they are kinda like farmers). If you can't find any aphids just repot your orchid. Make sure to get rid of as much old medium as possible and to use high quality or at least medium quality new medium.

[@vanessa5637]

Nina TheSupercat nope not anymore they just went away little by little by themselves I think they helped get rid of those aphids But I still repotted the orchid after they went away just in case

[@lavernnewell8892]

Where can I buy these pots.

[@KYMMEESJOURNEY]

Very informative.

[@CorinaDonea]

Hello, I repotted my orchid about 2 months ago, then I thought something doesn't look right. I believe I have 2 roots system in the same plant. One is in the pot and there is another one about 20 cm above the first one. The upper roots seems they wanted to go through the window before, and I thought they were actually looking for light, which they have plenty , and after repoting the plant these roots now they seems like they are struggling to go in the same pot beeing oriented downwards to where the main roots are.And week after week it looks like they are getting closer. It's very confusing, the plant has flowers now. Is this normal? What should I do?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, the root system refers to the totality of roots on an orchid, it's perfectly normal for new roots to emerge upper on the stem as the orchid grows. As they grow the roots can take all sorts of directions, they don't necessarily head towards particular things. Rambling is quite normal, you don't necessarily need to do anything, unless you wouldn't want them to touch particular things (expensive furniture, walls, etc). They can sit outside of the pot, no worries :)

[@CorinaDonea]
