Watering Phalaenopsis Orchids is a very easy, but important aspect of their care. They don't naturally grow in soil, so watering should be done in accordance to the medium and pot they grow in!
In media which don't hold too much water, such as bark mixes like these go.missorchidgirl.com/0KeZO4 running water through the pot, or even soaking the Orchid is beneficial.
In much more water retentive media, such as these go.missorchidgirl.com/kSHk4l just run water through the pot, no soaking needed.
In balanced media such as this go.missorchidgirl.com/iFEr1a both methods can be used.
Never use hot or freezing cold water, it can damage the roots in time! Also don't let water stand in the crown and in between the leaves, there is no wind to dry it in our homes!

I inherited an orchid from my late grandma that was forgotten in her flat for months until we had time to go through her things. we removed all her other plants when she was hospitalised but didn't see this one as it was behind a curtain :/ I had her for a couple months now and have been following your instructions religiously, and today, she opened her first new blossoms after being completely without for months. This is my first orchid and I cannot tell you how much this means to me. Thank you for the time and care you put into these videos, I hope you know that even years after you put them up, they're still helping people a lot

[@1corrsfan]

Same here, inherited 3 off my mum when she passed in march, never had an orchid (as I heard they’re not easy to care for) but I feel so much pressure to keep them alive. I have ordered the medium and pots to cut the dead roots and give it a new medium/substrate. Hope your orchids are still happy in their new homes

Dear MOG Danny... I was gifted my first orchid plant about 6 months ago (Oct 2020). It has been blooming like crazy ever since! Why? Because I found your channel and avidly watched AND FOLLOWED every video you’ve made on Phalaenopsis orchids. Soooo, I only have you thank for her amazing success AND for my new obsession!!! You’re an amazing teacher! Thank you again 👏👏👏 ❤️

Do ice cubes work best for watering 0rchids

[@vickykent353]

@gloriamurray9271 Never use ice cubes. Watch some videos. There are several different ways to grow orchids. In Orchid Bark is one way. Then there's water culture and semi-water culture. I follow Danielle's Orchid Ranch on KZbin and get so much reliable, detailed information from her. She's got years of growing experience and explains everything exceptionally well.

[@kathleenjones2687]

I just have to thank you for the time and energy that I am sure each of these videos take you to film edit and post. Your videos have helped me to actually be able to grow orchids! Now, I say “actually” for my family who have in the past, lovingly placed an orchid in a floral basket for Mother’s Day or my Birthday only to have it meet its untimely death way too soon. I must have sent at least a dozen beautiful orchids to my compost pile which broke my heart. One day, while shopping at IKEA, they had these tiny little Phalaenopsis Orchids on sale for 50% off. It was as if they knew the grim reaper of orchids was coming their way so they put them on sale to entice me to buy one. With my little orchid in its 2 1/2” pot, I was determined that this little orchid WILL NOT face the same death as all of her predecessors. As soon as I got home, I searched the internet and thankfully, out of “all of the the experts” your name and site, kept reoccurring. I started with your first video and did not stop until I felt that I had a basic understanding of what I had been doing wrong with all of my past orchids. I am happy to report that my little orchid is now two years old. She has flowered at least four times. She has doubled in size and has been repotted. I selected an untraditional pot choice due to a windowsill that she loves. It is my bathroom window, faces west, and the sill is only 5” deep. So I took a decorative toothbrush holder that is 3” wide oval at its widest point, but it 6” long and 6” tall. MDH, drilled 4 drainage holes at the bottom and this is the pot where my orchid had its rapid growth. Thanks to you, my family gained the confidence to give me orchids as gifts once again. For Mothers’ Day, I received a double pot of two Phalaenopsis. They were in full bloom and following your video on how to care for your flowering orchids, my blooms lasted May - October. I was shocked, but I followed your watering instructions to the letter. My last bloom fell on November 1st. I took a photo a few days before when I sensed its days were numbered. While I still had blooms on my one plant, a new leaf began growing. Now, I am turning to Repot Me to find the perfect pots for these two beauties as their new leaves and new roots are bulging above their tiny store plastic pot. My challenge will be my 5” sill once again. Unfortunately, in my entire house, I do not have another window facing that direction nor do I have an area at this time that I could set up artificial lighting for ultimate growth. I can’t thank you enough for bringing so much joy and beauty into my home with these three wonders of nature. You are and remain, the. Internet’s “ONLY EXPERT”!

[@theodoresmith5272]

The biggest key is finding the right place for light and for me with my yard and location, that means moving the plant during the year. In the winter in South florida, I can move my orchids outside except for a few cold weather nights they come inside. for most jungle orchids is to hot in the summer here. I move them inside then. For me watering is moving them into the rain for a little while but in winter with low humidity I spray my orchids daily with a little mist. They will grow air roots from that and then its easy to see like she say when they turn green and your good. We do have orchids here and they are suited for the weather. Most they sell are from the cloud forest. They are used to being wet. Its is also common for the weather to be between 50 and 80 degrees year round with little variation that near the the equator.

[@aida087]

Thank you for sharing Danni!! I've learned to soak up any water from the crown with the paper towel, and I sprinkle alittle cinnamon to help dry up the crown which has truly helped with preventing crown rot!! Also, I have central heating so and use Orchid bark so I've learned that soaking the Orchids really work for them!! But I'm trying a Better Grow bark/moss mix for the first time so I'll try your tip of running water through the medium vs soaking!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@risawolfson3671]

Thank you so much for this video! You always give excellent information! I'm getting so much joy from taking care of my orchids thanks your knowledge!

[@cleoa6006]

Thank you so much for this. Somebody gave me a beautiful orchid as a present but they told me that to water it, all I had to do is put two ice cubes on top of the bark each week. I've noticed it struggling a bit, so thank goodness I'm doing research for myself now.

[@peterchristensen9585]

I was given an orchid as a gift, and managed to keep it for over 4 months as it bloomed without killing the plant (turning the leaves yellow) as I have done in the past. I only needed to water it every 3 or 4 weeks, very likely because the media held too much water. And that's likely why 95% of the roots were dead and had to be trimmed when I replanted. I replanted in Dark Imperial Orchid Potting Mix, and tamped the media down just as you say to in your video How to repot Phalaenopsis Orchids. I was surprised to see the few remaining green roots turn gray and need watering after just over a week. I figured that might be in part because the media hadn't soaked up enough water in its initial watering. So to water this time I placed the pot into a bowl of water as you shown in this video, but the media floated up and became loose and the plant fell over! I assume that's because there are so few roots holding it together, so I will now only pour the water over the top and let it drain immediately. But I'll catch the water so I can repeat the action a number of times. I tamped the media down again as I slowly removed the pot from the bowl of water, and hope it holds firm this time.

[@MyRainbowWolf]

My boss likes to bring in various plants to sell, indoor plants year round and outdoor plants spring and fall. Not having a green thumb, I have had instruction on when to water by him, and have been doing research online. Finally took the plunge to start bringing live plants into my home about a year ago. Lost three or four in the beginning but doing much better and have collected a few over the past year. My boss brought in an orchid about a week ago. I have been admiring it but hesitant to make the leap to try to do right by it. Watched a few videos of yours. Finally decided that I am going to try it. Being off work today, I made the trip to get the orchid. After watching this video, the poor dear was in desperate need of water! I was amazed that the pale silvery roots instantly turned green once I started adding water to it, being careful not to get any on the leaves (gently moved them out of the way). Wow! It is in a bark medium but seems a little rootbound so now off to get proper medium and a proper orchid pot. Thank you so much for this!

I was gifted my first orchid 5 years ago and I changed its pot every year and had been using garden soil blends and it grew very big and hearty…until this year; I saw yellowing on leaves and black spotting & had 4 flower buds that dropped where the base of the stems were wilting. It’s almost in full bloom now, & know transplanting is not recommended: but my local garden center specialist told me I needed to get the roots out of the dirt. So I moved forward with the transplant. I chose the moss as my new medium and drilled 2 extra holes so there’d be 3 nice sized center holes on the bottom of my ceramic pot for better drainage and lined the inside outer lip of where I couldn’t drill any holes with stone & some bark so the water wouldn’t puddle & sit on the new cleaned up roots. So far so good. I’m so glad I found your channel because I wanted to do this right and keep my orchid growing beautifully & have learned a lot by your channel and wanted to thank you for making & sharing all these videos. ❤🌺❤🌸

[@helenetrstrup4817]

For the past 3 months I've been watering my orchids about once a week, mom used to do it a little more on a "it's been a while since I watered them" schedule. They live healthy lives on top of my dresser, getting light from both east and west during the day without being in direct sunlight. I think I will try to pay attention to not over-water them and double check that the weekly schedule is actually what they need. I have one that at one point was a little dehydrated because of a poor rootnet, it got leathery floppy leaves. It's recovering steadily and is growing new firm and healhty leaves and more new roots, so I am happy with the progress there. 😄

My daughter gave me an orchid with beautiful white flowers. It lasted for months then stopped. I forgot about it as it was in a corner by the window. Suddenly one day, i found it and it had started to flower agan. Its now three years old and still flowering. I have never cut or fed it anything, just soaking occasionally in tepid tap water for twenty minutes and then completely drained it. I hope it keeps going as i love watching it reflowering and would be very sad if it doesn't. Your videos definitely inspire me to keep growing orchids. Thank you so much for your amazing advice.

Thank you for the useful information! I recently received a big beautiful Phalaenopsis cascade orchid for my birthday & I want to make sure it stays that way. I look forward to viewing your other videos to continue to care of the orchid!

I love orchids...with inflation, they have gone up in price. That didn't stop me. I'm very thrifty on a fixed income. I know it's mother's day and orchids will be everywhere. So I splurged and bought 2. This is an amazing vidio...thank you. 7:38

I have an orchid I received for Mothers Day and I absolutely love it! This is my first one ever and I baby it like its a baby. I have studied how to care for them and have been diligent about it. It is doing extremely well and I am proud of it. I have noticed in the last few days, that there seems to be some kind of weird growth happening on the growing medium. Kinda like teeny tiny mushroom looking things. After the orchid quit flowering, I repotted it into new orchid potting medium in a new see through, pot, with air holes. My question, should I get new repotting medium and repot again? Will this stress the orchid? What could this be and is it going to damage or kill my orchid? Any help would be gratefully accepted. I don't want to loose her. Eventually I am hoping to make this one into several. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give. I love your channel and have learned alot from you.

Love the videos! have a orchid that my mother was gifted and I’m taking care of it for her now. Unfortunately i think some of the roots are dying due to not only overwatering and found spider mites so i cutt them off before seeing any videos but the leaves still look healthy. I have moss so now i know to wait until it’s fully dry and might repot with new medium to cutt the dead roots and inspect the new ones.

Loved this video, so clearly explained.

[@bradz1687]

Brilliant video, thank you. Thought I had common sense aplenty but couldn't figure out how to stop the water just falling out of the bottom of the plantpot when I watered it. Soak it! of course!
