An other myth for your next video😌 “Do not water the orchid when in bloom” I’m seeing this one popping up more and more

[@davchow8124]

Danny, I think you should write a book about orchids You have so much experience and knowledge on orchids. I think it will be a best seller for orchids lovers.

[@bugsandbrushes]

Oh my, all my phals began spiking two weeks ago and all thanks to you. I'm so excited for the show! Thank you :)

[@joanntellez372]

Learn so much from your videos! Thank you!

[@JoyceDarden]

23:41 more videos would be great Danny! Thanks

[@thegr8stm8]

Love the photo and video shots against the black. Colors really pop!

[@sharonwhalen4250]

I enjoyed seeing your blooming orchids. 😍

[@bethelaine5821]

It would be great for you to have a video showing the different types of orchids as they often aren’t labelled as anything other than orchids depending on where you acquire them.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

I do have that video, search for 'missorchidgirl what orchid do I have' 😁

[@z71255]

Love your videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️

[@jodiefinley4553]

Love all your videos! Very informative. Thank you 😊

[@DollinMawahlal]

Hi i am Dollin and i live in 🇹🇹 Trinidad i watch your video,I'm learning a lot from u on how to care for my orchids,thanks for your information.

[@La._.La._.La5654]

I got my orchid to bloom two times after dying in less then a three months, because of your channel. Thank you

[@jolynkling481]

Mine love the kitchen window sill, idk,they live it there.

[@Toralynne_TV]

Thanks for all the info! Orchids are my favourite flower, but they haven't always survived so long, it's been a learning experience for me. c:

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Thank you Danny I am a beginner and I appreciate your channel and all your knowledge

[@wandashaw3551]

#4 is the myth that got me in the beginning of my Orchid journey! Totally enjoying thus series. 😍🐦😍🐦

[@antoinettegregory7311]

Is that a violácea at 15:24? Gorgeous little maid🥰

[@cecilianagy9872]

Myth No. 1: There is always an exception: chilochista orchids (I know only this leafless species, maybe there are more..), but you shouldn't pot it at all ;). I love your work, you saved my orchids and they're truly grateful as am I! Spoiler: This is the first youtube comment of my life! (...we are about a same age, and not because I don't have the technology or the possibility, it' s just not my thing to be talkative, but... you know: Thank you very much!)

[@gaylucido-willsher1143]

I cant wait for my orchids to rebloom. So inspired with your channel. Thank you so much

[@ProgressiveDiscussions]

What is working great for me now is having the phalaenopsis is these Orchid baskets to allow optimum airflow. As a substrate I am using the very coarse shredded coconut husk. Their roots are simply anchors which is exactly the same with tillandsia air plants.

[@juusoblomqvist363]

Certainly some plants can be induced to flower using small pots for example Agapanthus. I have many large pots 50-80 cm deep with all sorts of plants from tiny to 3 m high with relatively same requirements planted all together. More important than a supposedly optimal pot size is the appropriate potting medium, lighting, watering, and fertilizing regimes. Allelopathy is a thing to consider in group plantings, but even my snake plants, succulents, cacti, and ZZ plants don't mind the abundant soil space.

[@sunnymelbourneplants]

Love the myths busting videos ❤️ when I'll add a vanda to my collection I will grow it in a pot because ain't nobofy got tike to water everyday 😂

[@plantqueentonie7130]

Love ur videos at working and trying to watch.

[@demonicmffn]

What is the orchid at 11:35?

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Hi Danny, love that Hawearara lava burst, so many spikes ! Is it easy to grow? Also do you do orchid room/ bloom tour ?

[@wrknprgsat47]

I am new to your channel so I may have missed this. What should I use to wipe dust off the leaves of my orchids?

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Great learning video Dani, I actually thought when my phals we're growing leaves they were resting, I thought the growing flowers was a big taxing on their systems. Thank you for information.🤗🎉

[@monocaliste]

Here is another one I can think about when I see the last orchid you're holding ! YOU CANNOT grow a cattleya type orchid in a self watering pot 😆 thanks for the video take care

[@arejetko]

Should you always remove the flower stalk once the blooms have dropped?

[@bongadong6088]

She have videos on this. I believe the title is called “what to do with orchids after blooms”

[@stephaniemolina2343]

I usually wait, if the actual flower stalk starts to brown and die then yes I wait for it to completely die off and then cut from the base, if it stays green I wait because sometimes it'll rebloom, give off a secondary spike or branch, or give a keiki, now I do this only if the orchid is healthy, if the orchid is not healthy then I do cut it off so it can focus its energy on leaf and root growth.

[@claudiacanales2662]

@@stephaniemolina2343 i do the same!

Hi Danny! Could you share the name of the oncidium type orchid at 11:38? It's beautiful! Thanks in advance!

[@Justusorjustone]

My vanda is growing in mixture of cocopeat and leeca very well...and mine is a largee vanda

[@SANDRA-ni3wi]

Hi Danni, maybe not so much related to this video, but speaking of Phaelenopsis: I have a mini Phal which after it bloomed produced a keiki. Then it produced another flower spike. So I removed the keiki and potted it up. I have heard of terminal flower spikes, but never have I noticed or heard of a flower spike going halfway up and ending up in a keiki. So now I have a keiki at the top of the flower spike, which has no roots, but as it is being fed by the mother, continues to grow happily. Even to the point of growing double the size of the first keiki and having a flower spike of her own. So now my mother is in spike, the keiki is flowering, and I am left wondering how the … I am going to promote root growth on this thing?Any suggestions?

[@irynalaudadio3646]

Please, give me advice how to move orchids from hot Florida to cold Chicago! Should I even try?!

[@kathleenvandewetering7166]

My Vanda has attached itself to my concrete table top edge. I need to move it indoors as we are about to get to freezing temps here in the next few nights. Better to cover it and leave the roots attached? Or move it and break the roots (there are 3 attached roots). Kat

[@poisonousnightshade1002]

Give a good watering, wait 10 min, water again, wait 2 minutes and try to pry off the roots from the concrete applying slight pressure sideways. if the roots detach cleanly, good. If not, if there is enought length of the roots not attached to the table, cut as close as possible to the table with desinfected tools as to leave the maximmum amount of roots on the plant. Even if you cover the plant, there is a high probability of cold damage. Dead plants are dead, rootless plants are only unconfortable =D

[@hleethao1542]

Dani!! I need help, one of my phals this morning (one that I thought was healthy and doing just fine, has lots of blooms and buds still opening) roots are healthy, the leaves just turned yellow at the base and all the leaves fell off. I make sure to not get water in that area as it can rot off. But is there anything I can do to help rehab it? Roots are fine flower spike still blooming but no leaves 😬

[@PetraEmmy]

Hi Dani! Ive got a question about phals... can i put 2 into the same pot? I have some phals that need bigger pots but I only have 1 6" pot.. is it ok to put 2 from a 4" pot into that 6"? I really appreciate ALL the information you share with us.

[@AzulaisQueen743]

I consider flowering more dormant than when they're not flowering Lol

[@janegao5747]

Danny, what if one of my phalaenopsis keep blooming from the same stem(no branches) for over a year? I never promote it. The stem just keeps growing longer and just keep flowering. It also developed another two flower shoots. It also does not lose leaves, it still has a lot of leaves (8 leaves) as well. Should I cut the flower stems at some point even if it's still flowering? It looks healthy but I am concerned about it's health.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, yes they can do that. It's up to you, I preffer to cut each spike once a year towards the summer and allow for full vegetative growth ☺️

[@tijenaslan6032]

hey danny! i have a vanda without any roots where most of the leaves died off on the stem. it only has some green leaves on the top, how can i promote new roots and where do they grow? in another video u mentioned that vandas cant grow roots on the top part of the orchid.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, there is a limit to where Vandas can grow roots, near the crown they won't sprout roors. Search for 'missorchidgirl how to promote roots for beginners' and you'll find my latest video from one month ago on my methods ☺️

[@shark-7260]

Just a quick question, does the grow light stay on 24/7?

[@stephaniemolina2343]

No, they should have a “daytime” and a “night time”, just like in nature. You can actually buy timers to set a time for them to turn on and off.

[@shark-7260]

@@stephaniemolina2343 I see, thank you so much.

[@Madeiramyway]

Hi, i love your videos 😀❤️ i have a problem. Recently i got a few orchids and got them repoted, a few days later the crown and roots got rotten and leaves fell off 😵 what am i doing wrong?

[@susiemobley8652]

My mom gave me an orchid planted with some type of dwarf palm. Its planted in a clear glass bowl with no water hole. I was shocked to see the fllower stem, thats never been trimmed, grow two sets of leaves. Each set of leaves contain 3 or 4 small leaves! Ever seen this?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, yes the orchid is producing a keiki, sometimes it's a sign of stress ☺️

[@ungnguyen8584]

Do you have spring flowers? I am looking for it please?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Sorry I'm an orchid channel 😁

[@kasengel]

Hey Danny, something kinda connected to the 3th myth about the pot size. I hear a lot of people saying "if the pot is too big the orchid is not going bloom befoure it fills the pot with roots". Truth ot myth?

[@fallingspark2258]

I feel that she kinda answered that. Since the Orchid can't sense the confines of the pot, how can it tell when the pot is full of roots?

[@itzharporath8017]

Egoz2221 The reason why you should not use a larger pot is to avoid root damage. A larger pot keeps more water than a smaller pot and increases the danger of root damage.

[@witheredaway6747]

Was that princess Jackie in the intro part?

[@traciee99]

My orchid spike is injured when I was moving it, can you please let me what should I do now?

[@antonya125]

Buna Dani, Am nevoie de un sfat... Am mai multe Vanda orchidee de ani de zile cam5 ani sau msi mult, si dupa cum spui si tu mai avem si o viata de trait... Muta vreme au fost plantate in vas de ceramica,( k un cos, multa aerisire) si scoarta de copac. Infloreau regulat, unele chiar la3luni, dar pt k iarna in mediu temperat e mai rece si pervazul nu e f cald iarns, sau depus saruri s usor mucegai pe vas. Vandele erau fericite si pline de radacini, flori, radacini bine fixate prin toate orificile... Dar frica de mucegai.... Reteta sigura umed cu rece... Am schimbat la vase de sticla, crezand k pot controla mai bine radacinile, nu este rece sau prea ud la radacini si mai usor de udat, fiecare cu vaza ei. Dar 2au murit in primele luni. Nu mai infloresc mai deloc, fara radacini noi... Plus desi nu au mediu, scoarta umeda nu duc lipsa, de apa, dar parca in vaza desi este gura mare de aerisire nu se ventileaza ok. Ce parere ai? Crezi k in mediu temperat este mai recomandat vas de ceramica sau vaza de sticla? Cu4anotimpuri e greu de gasit combinatia perfecta... Plus in apartament unele merg bine in semihidro...cum sunt phal, cath. . Altele urasc...Nelly, Oncidium, Odontoglosum Ce ai recomanda pt cei care stau in apartamente, cu 4 anotimpuri 🤔si nu au bucuria unui loc asa frumos cum este gradinata ta, 😍 Ms!

[@miketzai9209]

Hi there I know some people who spray water on phal but i learn its not good to do, i learn that if water comes inside the orchid it will die, what y say about it Stay safe

[@mangobaby2]

There's an Orientable woman online who toasts rice, cruschs them, and feeds them to the orchids. She says it's gives nutrients to the orchids and helps them have lots of flowers. What do you think? Is that a myth?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, yes it is ☺️ rice can add nutrients to a compost pile, where it can fully break down, not in an aerated orchid pot. Also rice alone is not enough to provide all nutrients plants need.

[@joanp105]

Why do plastic pots have holes all over the sides and bottom, if you then block this air circulation by using a solid decorative pot? Please explain. I am confused about this.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, you don't block air circulation with decorative pots 😁

[@christinezeiler]

My daughter-in-law keeps her vanilla orchid in her bathroom. Is that a good orchid location for a vanilla orchid 24/7.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

It depends on many things as I was saying in the video, there's no way for me to know 🤷🏻‍♀️

The fume from shampoo in the bathroom may also be potentially harmful as well.

[@mangobaby2]

I accidentally broke my new spike. :(

[@laurakb196]

I broke one also. Actually I broke the spike off of two of my orchids. I get a little sick feeling every time I look at the damage I’ve done.

[@Christins8818]

I wish my mom could understand English, she could grow her orchids so much better. She still believes that's orchids are dormant through winter. I told her it's not true but who am I to teach her 🙈

[@Christins8818]

Yes I am a bit frustrated seeing her orchids. I repotted them properly lately at least I hope they now grow better again.
