Thanks for the link! I ordered a set of pots. I only have one orchid. May have to get more to fill the pots. lol

[@maryreams3464]

what do you think of all the ways to make them to bloom. Garlic banana peel , lemons etc etc.

[@mindimartian9821]

Thank you for the great videos. I have become an addict. I just order 3 hybrids from Etsy for the crazy beautiful variety of Phals. p.s. I love your voice and cadence of speech.

[@laeticiaosemeke9902]

Where is the link to the video talking about inducing secondary spikes on phals? Can’t find it in the description box

[@TheChiesa]

I wasn't a particular fan of orchids until my goddaughter brought me a Phal for Easter. I had never seen an orchid with yellow flowers before. The blooming lasted for almost three months, after which I was wondering what to do with the plant. Then I came across a video of yours and realised that the Phal needed my help as she was growing in a pot much too small for her. I wouldn't have ventured to do the repotting if I hadn't seen your instructive videos, and even now I was extremely nervous and tried to get the Phal into the new pot as quickly as possible, fearing that she might suffer if she didn't get the new medium around her roots asap. After a few days she decided to push herself into a position which is almost vertical, but as she seems to be quite happy, I let her stay as she is now. Thanks to you, the Phal has become more than a mere plant for me - she is my baby! 😊

[@augustvukosovich4683]

My mom bought me an orchid last November. I was actually quite upset because I kill all plants within weeks and I didn't want the poor thing to die. So, I watched some videos and I have tried very hard to keep it alive. So far, it has been the only plant I have ever kept alive for more than a month lol! It is now 10 months old and had grown 4 new leaves. I'm hoping to get it to bloom this year too! Thank you for your helpful videos.

[@chelaash]

Lol try those luck bamboo plants also (my first) goodLuck Currently waiting for stems or spikes to grow very heathly looking but just waiting ugh

[@zeldagoblin]

Dani, I've watched a ton of your videos. I'm a serial killer of houseplants and my heart sinks whenever I receive a plant as I know I won't be able to care for it. Anyway, my husband got my a pretty phal for our anniversary, and I was determined to keep it alive. I read the instructions on the plant tab...imagine that, it helped! So my phal bloomed for months and months and also grew three new spikes! Feeling like a pro, I told my husband I was only happy to get orchids for houseplants. He bought me another and i moved house...and that one got spotty flowers and dropped the blooms. I then received a mini phal as a housewarming gift, which also drops its flowers. After this, all their leaves looked shriveled and floppy and i finally went online for help and found your videos. A week later, and my flowers have improved! I've repotted them all and they all had rot sho I've followed type advice for them and also used lemon juice on the leaves, and they look great! So, thanks From my orchids, and I'm now a big fan of orchids. I'm not going to buy more, until I know more but ius definitely a new love.

[@eveliaa.875]

I wanna thank you so much. I always loved orchids and when I got one about five weeks ago I watched all the videos I could to learn how to care for them. My orchid was on clearance for $10 dollars and it was not going great at all. Watched your videos and cut bad roots, replanted and tried my best to keep it happy.. now it has buds! Thank you so much. Still have much to learn but your videos helped so much!

[@rocco011305]

Omg!! I finally have my first spikes from the first Orchid my husband bought me in February. Looks like it has 2 spikes so far. We had a cold front come here in Florida, USA and it must have triggered it. I’m so excited 😱 means everything I learned here and applied to care for them is working. Thank you so much for all your videos y are a wealth of knowledge. Keep them coming 💙

[@sharonp3563]

I bought my first moth orchid last week with a beautiful spike which still have blooms to open. I'm so happy to see a video about how to have it rebloom or care for it

[@celestita8404]

Thank you for this awesome videos!!! I was so upset last year because I couldn’t get my orchids to rebloom, and I didn’t know why. After watching your videos, I followed your recommendations, and now both of my bigger orchids are growing stems that will bloom flowers. (My baby orchid currently has flowers). Thank you again!

[@nicolegroves6880]

Wow, this is fantastic information to have! I've been keeping orchids and other plants for about three years now and I am constantly looking for ways to expand my knowledge and make my plants happier. I have read a book and quite a few articles on Phals but I still learned quite a bit from this video. Thanks so much for what you do! 💜

Oh, how I super-loved this video!!! Wondering why my one yr old (to me) phals won't spike. All my Questions were answered by you. I totally get it now. Thanks Danni👍

Dry humidity and bad lighting in my apartment. I’m beyond ecstatic! 🤩 Thank you Thank you thank you!!! Also, your voice is heavenly which makes it more pleasurable to pay attention easily.

[@tiffaniwynn8994]

I have been watching your videos for a couple months now and I just want to thank you for all the helpful information you post. I unintentionally (almost) killed my Phal and through your guidance; she’s on the rebound now! Severe dehydration and root loss has turned into her growing a new leaf and more roots. I can wait until she’s healthy enough to grow a spike again. It’s been years since I’ve seen her blooms (from first bringing it home) and I don’t even remember what color the flowers are anymore.

[@sylvierossignol9757]

I had an orchid that finished blooming, took care of it this past year. I just repotted it after watching your video and since I think it is getting ready to bloom, watched this video which explained what to do. Those stems are brown and between the last two leaves…i noticed another one on the other side. I hope I repotted it at the right time, it had a lot of dead roots. It is near a window and now know about the stem reaching for the sun…thank you for this video. Very useful information.

Hi ,I'm trying to follow your program because I love orchid video which I found really informative . I've lost quit a few orchids due to mis understandings at present I have this one which I bought last November to replace one I was given to keep alive , it pain my heart when they die. Now this one was found with ants nest so I try to flush them out by running top water on the roots but a few days I noticed that one of the leave started to turn yellow at the base of the plant then another one at the center , so right now only one leave is left ,some of the roots are still green also the flower spike ,which I notice two spike growing on the old flower spike ,do you think

[@marievirgo4488]

Do you think the plant will survive to bloom again or the spike will turn out to be kieki

[@kaworob]

I also have one that's an overachiever... To the point that I cut down one flower spike to let it actually start working on roots and leaves

[@asymonna]

Same here for my Phal. I have two sprouts with 10 flower buds in equal. This is his third blooming this year ♥

[@alliegraceful]

I have several phalaenopsis orchids and repotted them year before last after they bloomed. They have been growing well and have lots of healthy leaves and roots but they have not rebloomed- one for 2 years at least. I have other orchids in the same window that have continued to bloom (and have keikis!). I upsized my oldest orchid (possibly 8-10 years old) to an 8 inch pot and used the phalaenopsis gold medium from RePot Me. The other one I upsized from a 4 inch pot to a 6 inch pot in the same medium. Neither has bloomed since. I'm perplexed as to why they haven't bloomed now, 2 winters in a row. I will try dropping the temperature next fall. Any other ideas why they may not be blooming? Could it be because I upsized their pots?

[@Kate-mx1lh]

Thankyou, learned alot from your video today. What do you use to shine the Leaves?

[@gertrudewelsh781]

I want to know this too. My leaves are not shiny, except for the new ones.

[@susancalvert9505]

My orchid was purchased with 3 flower spikes! This bloom it produced 1. Did I take it out of the cool environment too early? If it will have more than 1 spike do they grow at the same time? My spike is starting its buds, while it has flowers can I chill it again to get another spike?

[@brittyvegas9482]

[@dogendorf]

I have asthma and cannot open my windows ever. I'm also disabled and have chosen growing and care for orchids as a hobby I can enjoy indoors. Gardening is my passion but no more. Orchids are truly rewarding and I'm having a blast with my small but gigantic successes of keeping my grocery store orchids alive and now starting to thrive. So, I have three phals and four dendrobiums (one is a Mint Chip). I just watched "How to Get Phals to Rebloom." You mention the trick of cooling the plants and tricking them into reblooming. Please confirm the indoor temp of 17-19C, and what can I do to mimick a cool down. I'm unable to move the plants outside, and putting them near the window is not an option. Can I place a small refrigerated or frozen cold pack (little frogs) on the plant or inside the planter beside the plant to achieve the same results? Is there such a thing as a desktop A/C that is the preferred method? Please advise me when you get a chance. You're my favorite teacher. 😇

Just wondering do I have to buy a conatiner to put my orchid in as can I reuse the old one and just get new medium

[@shastawolfamute2203]

Hopefully with the info in this video i can get mine to bloom this winter or next year. I tried at the beginning of this year to try cutting for a secondary branch, but sadly all i got on both that i cut were a little nub that just never grew even after months, and i ended up cutting the spike off and since have gotten at least 1 new leaf on each orchid.

[@DrinkingStar]

It looks like I have 2 new flower spikes sprouting from my Phal. In addition, the old flower spike is sending out new blooms. So it looks like I will have flowers blooming from 3 spikes.

[@dvdgalutube]

warm temperature to the leaves or to the roots? Thanks!

[@cdub1955]

I have been watching many of your videos and have become aware of some of my errors. 1) i have been over watering... 2) i have been over feeding. I can tell this from you videos and when i re-pot i have a weak root system. I am able to get Phals to rebloom, but my bloom spikes are 'small', not very tall and full of blooms like they had when i purchased them. Are there recommendations as to how to get those really nice tall spikes? Thanks for you teachings.
