Your video has follow-ups and results which other videos lack. Great info, thanks.

[@REAGAN_1980]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I received a rescue orchid as a gift that has crown rot one yellow leaf but excellent root system. Two 30-inch tall flower spikes with buds. Wow. I put the cinnamon powder on the stump of the crown and the junction of the leaf. I'm praying I can save this one! I'm hopeful now that I watched your excellent video.

[@Kemeny1001]

Thank you, I have put on the ground cinnamon, and fingers crossed! the lovely plant will recover. Thank you again.

[@janetg2893]

There are so many sites that tell you to use hydrogen peroxide then cinnamon. I ended up killing an orchid by doing that. Your advice of using just the cinnamon is best and should be what others are saying. I wish I would have seen your video first. I was able to help someone else save their orchid by sharing this video and learning from my own experience. Thanks for posting this excellent video!

[@evamaxwell9749]

Good info! I love orchids.

[@rangsilmarak511]

Thank you for sharing l have lost one of my orchids due to crownrot i didnt know anything about the prevention of the crown rots 🙏🙏

[@lenalzheng]

This video gave me hope. Thank you

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Follow my videos on orchids - they are so easy to grow.

[@nanettealsop]

Thank you so much for this tip. I have just added some cinnamon to one of my orchids that has dropped its last leaf 😣

[@alee7227]

I have just added cinnamon to my phal. I hope I can save it. Thanks for your video!

[@yliberal6355]

Wow, this was great information, thank you!

[@linachenful]

I hope I can save my orchid. Thank you.

[@dorothyfu7540]

I wish I knew this before. I lost a very pretty orchid and avoided it ever since.

[@kjjune8603]

Thank you! I used cinnamon to save some orchids I rescued from Lowe's. This was greatly helpful.

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marrigoldmccarthy6319]

I wish I knew this I've thron away so many orchids due to crown rot

[@indygrammy]

Hello! I’m so glad I saw this video; a few of my orchids roots are still green I’ve lost all but one leaf and it is about to go.this has been happening over the past month. Is it too late to sprinkle cinnamon on the crown? Please advise. I’m so sad for the possible loss of this gorgeous orchid. My others are doing very well. Thank you.

[@ericr8618]

Sprinkle a lot of cinnamon on it. It will be ok

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

do it as soon as you see a problem

[@Bahas.Bupena]

I think l have hope although all the roots are really bad.

[@SQR188]

Thank you so much

[@MasterofPlay7]

do you need to repot it if you sell the barks are foul?

[@lesliecolin3483]

How often should I put cinnamon on the root? Is it just a one time sprinkle or how often should I sprinkle? Thanks!

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Just one time - that will stop the rot.

[@soniabernal3587]

Thank you for the information! How often should I add cinnamon to my plant crown? This is similar to the extreme case you showed

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

I usually only do it once I know I have a problem.

[@mwoods4608]

Okay, mine doesn't look as bad as the 50/50 one. But I tried cinnamon and think I might have over dried it. So idk what to do now. I was told cut the flower spike off to save it. What else?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Wait, and keep it watered.

[@tabithawilson548]

I have challenged myself to safe this orchid that belong to my friend’s late mother. Oh my goodness the roots are all gone but there still a fairly green crown. I am not only trying to get roots to come but also save the crown. I’m confused on what you mean by keep the plant dry but water normally. I don’t want to fail. I wish I could share a photo so I could find out if it’s a hopeless cause.

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

If you water normally - the roots will get water, but the upper part of the plant will stay dry. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZfSaX1_n9mefpI

[@tabithawilson548]

@@Gardenfundamentals1 thank you. The video gave me hope. Very helpful. But I from posts Orchids are resilient

[@debrasaints3809]

I just found your video. I accidentally left my phalaenopsis soaking for over three days and all of the leaves fell off along with two new blooming buds! One of the stems dried out and there are no visible green roots. The stringy roots left are dry. Is it too late to save?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

If you have no leaves and no roots - it is too late.

[@beckyaa100]

My orchid is losing leaves, but not from the top down as you describe. The leaves also looked green and relatively healthy. Do you know what might have happened?

[@bigmamaL]

He mentioned that it's perfectly normal for them to yellow from the bottom. The bottom leaves are older than the higher ones, and they to do that as they grow new top ones. No worries 😉💚

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

If it is from the bottom - that is normal.

[@GarnetFox85x]

If I've lost all my leaves and the roots have gone hollow and dry is there still hope I have 2 green roots, ill have a better look later but I have 3 with the same problem?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

If you have healthy roots - there is hope.
