I've been following you from almost the beginning and I am so happy that you are able to find more time for yourself, that's very important! You quite often talked about the background noise and apologize for it, on this end listening to your video, I don't notice it. The only thing that comes through is when the birds talk and that's life! Great job, I always learn something from your videos, thank you! ❤️

[@saylork8547]

Thanks! I always learn something from your videos! 👍👍

[@leonardozamora5279]

Danny! Please don't worry about your videos being noisy because let me tell you that they are not! You do such an amazing job and it is great that you are finding more time to dedicate to yourself. That is really all that matters! Please stick to this format if that is what feels the best for you. We will understand. Love!

[@sheiselwilliams1]

Danny, I love your new format! I'm so grateful for all of your videos. You have been a lifesaver for several of my orchids. It's good to see the face behind the wonderful advice. Keep up the great work!❤

[@baltschoolofdance]

Aw Danny, I’m so happy for you that the changes have had positive effects on your life! Time management, especially as a small business owner, is so very difficult. If you are only accountable to yourself, it is easy to develop bad habits and not take time for self care. But you DESERVE time for your self and you will be better at everything else you do if your needs are met. Bravo for doing that for yourself!

[@roslynclifford5983]

Hi there Danny, I always appreciate your hints and tips for growing and caring for orchids. I love seeing the face behind the (noodle) hands. Have a great day 🌟

[@mogo5555]

I’m so happy to hear you are doing more for yourself with the xtra time. Your videos have another dimension with you in them with seeing your expressions. I also like seeing the plant room as a backdrop.

I guess I need to check those sticks.. I don't like spraying chemicals at home. Thanks for confirmation these sticks are safe

[@shellybelly6380]

Thanks for the encouragement and time management. Today I came home from work I watered my plants. It felt good to be out of my work area.

[@fullsunzzz]

You're literally a lifesaver. I just bought a phal and i didn't realize until i brought it home that it was covered in thrips! i had to cut almost all of the roots off and its been removed from its substrate and pot and sprayed down probably too many times... its definitely looking a little rough but i wont give up, thanks to your great advice I'm sure i can get it recovering in now time!!

[@gertrudewelsh781]

Wow. My one and only orchid suddenly has wrinkled leaves so I am going to repot it. Even though I re-potted it in 2020 and no blooms since 2021.

[@gertrudewelsh781]

Well, almost all the roots were bad, soft, dead, rotting. I removed most of them. Fingers crossed it survives!

[@jo-annepikebrintrup1500]

OF COURSE, IT WAS HELPFUL AS ALWAYS!! So, happy you have more time for yourself and managing your time better. It's a tough one!! Thanks for all your advise, Danni!

Thanks to you I am now feeling confident growing orchids. I think back to all the ones I threw away because I thought I killed them and they could have been saved 😢 not any more!😊

[@robyn3349]

Thank you, I was eyeing some 'sticks' today. I am glad I didn't get them. I do enjoy this format. Strong women stay young!

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

At the moment I have one Phal with wrinkly leaves. She's the only one of mine who doesn't grow a new leaf. Just this day I thought about I have to repot her. This video came perfect in time.

[@wandashaw3551]

Hello Danny, I am very excited and happy for you, having time for You and for Us!! Yay.

[@Tarpinouche]

Did work out too yesterday in the greenhouse: it sure hurts but in the long term, it's worth it. Will you make a video about your weightlifting routine? I'm kinda interested in that, but I'm not sure how to start! Thanks Dany, happy to know that you're taking time for yourself!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, oh I'm not very knowledgeable on that to make a full video on it and don't have much to show for it, but after much trial and error I'm sticking to just a few base exercises and do multiple reps of those. I try to stay consistent and not switch it up all the time anymore 😂 so I have a weight set and my split is something like: 3 days a week, 1 day lower body (kills me so that's all I do that day) 1 day upper body and core plus cardio, 1 day full body plus cardio :) simple and nice 🙂 so I think stick to simplicity and depending on your goals just pick the moves that better suit your goals and current possibilities. Don't neglect a dynamic warmup pre workout and stretches after. Sustain your muscles with lots of protein too, otherwise you'll damage them! Good luck, you're doing something amazing for your body long term! 👍

[@Tarpinouche]

@@MissOrchidGirl Will do! Thanks!

[@gabriellawright8472]

Yes! You are right! In Sydney all my phalaenopsises grow without potting mix, except seedlings that grow in closed system. Our climate is very humid. In any potting mix the roots rot. ((

I LOVE THE NEW FORMAT !!!!..

[@andiiryan]

I was given an orchid that had too much water it had 3 roots left all sticking straight in the air so I soaked them till they became supple and moved them into an icu and 6 months later it’s doing brilliantly just with careful watering and a little food

[@chrisliving1610]

Thanks for the tips, they are an important part of the care! What do I do if I have a keiki that was separated from the mother plant and put in a "closed" system - a glass with a bit of leca at the bottom and bark on top? It was fine till yesterday, but this morning I see that leaves are beginning to wrinkle. Since I can see through that all the roots are fine, what should I do?

[@christinakara278]

You look so nice as your voice sounds, good to see you in person 🌸

[@polinapechenkina2453]

My experience with this particular hybrid has been more of a struggle than with my other phals - it just kept losing old roots to root rot after a repot. Although it recovered quick enough and the new roots have adapted nicely.

[@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde]

Using ice, as they say on the tag, was a bad idea. I started soaking the orchid with tap water and removing any access water before putting it back in the pot.

[@cassandrachrist1556]

Again, love watching your videos. Always feel I could keep on learning, no matter what. I'm glad to hear you are having more time for yourself, and you are working out again ( though from my perspective, you look naturally beautiful). Also, you seem to do a good job on noise editing, cause ever since you've worked on your videos, I could never hear anything really in the background.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, thank you! 🧡 Glad the noises are not audible, sometimes random people just shout on the street 🤣 regarding working out, it's not only about looking like I'd want, but also I don't want to get weaker as I get older. I've seen what a sedentary life can lead to, so I want to maintain my muscle mass as I age so that I am as strong as I can be and not prone to really bad injuries due to muscle loss. Also I feel good when I feel stronger, it's a bit addictive 🤣

[@annar8290]

Hi Danny. What are those freckles on the leaves? One of my Phal also has those patterns on the leaves. Is it from dehydration? Thank you.

[@vamosaltemacongabrielmende3965]

Well I’m recovering a phal that I found at a local big box store and was sad, actually super sad dehydrated, root issues, etc. there were 2 in the pot. One is in great shape now, the other one is the previously mentioned. As for time, I respond understand how you feel. I used to do videos on a daily basis, twice a day. And got burned so bad that the last one I started recording I stopped because my mind was out of me and lost concentration. Now I have a little more time to get back to my plants and take care of them. One of these days maybe I start recording and uploading videos again. Have a great and blessed day.

[@andreelauzier3276]

I love your video and seen you makes it even better. The noises don’t bother me, in fact, most of the time, I don’t ear them. When are you going to do a video about violet? I love them a lot started to collect them.

[@Mischx]

Hey Danny, do you have an ID for the yellow wit orange/red pattern on the table next to you? I was super exceited to buy this (what I believe is) a secondary hybrid in a flower shop nearby, but I'm unsure about the tag. Maybe you have a video showcasing this one? On a different note, I love being able to see your face. Have been following you for years, but the new format is so much more personable. But first and foremost, so happy helps with your time management and well overall wellbeing. It is too often forgotten about when it comes to work.

[@lucamartinelli1156]

If I have a red spider infestation after treating the orchid do I also have to repot it?

[@matthiaslow8533]

Thank u so much for sharing and can hear u very well...many thanks

I was directed to your video by a coworker. I have this orchid and it's very special to me. It got left outside in the sun now looks completely dead. It was given to me at my mom's wake. I'm devastated. Please help me I have no idea how to care for this plant. I've had her for 2 years and every year she blooms. I literally have only ever watered her since I got her. Now I feel like I'm losing her

[@UKerPerspective]

Hi - one of my orchids has been flowering for a number of weeks now - flowers seem strong - none have dropped as yet - but the leaves are very droopy/floppy 😕 the roots look fine - it’s been in a correct medium for a year - watered it only the other day but no effect on the leaves - I’m stumped as to what to do - should I fertilise?

[@yvonnekong7709]

Would it be good to soak this for a while when you repotted it?

[@corina_lu]

Hi Danny, are you still using the sticks? How is its performance along a year?

[@Lilian.94]

I've repotted my orchid in new media (sphagnum moss with bark). At first, the orchid looked happy and the flower spikes continued to grow. However, the orchid has only a few roots and has not produced new roots. Now, some of the flowers are starting to open, while others remain closed. The leaves are beginning to wrinkle. What should I do? Should I cut the flower spikes to give the orchid a break?? I really need your help

[@AnneLi236]

Can you adress the problem with splitting leafs? I once had an orchid who had a split leaf. It happened without me doing anything, so my guess it was some kind of pressure on the leaf (maybe a bodybuilder-leaf?)? Do you know anything about it?

[@rifattarkyararbas4058]

Thanks...

[@naomimade]

Hi! What does a bad smelling substrate smell like? Spagnum moss has a smell of its own that I don't particularly like...?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, in this case the roots were smelling, not the substrate. Well it's a very sharp smell, some viewers described it as 'dangerous chemicals' :))) yea, something like that. When sphagnum moss breaks down it smells to me more like a swamp :P

[@alicenataliamariailarda9046]

I have a question. I saw in other repotting videos that if the velament was affected but the root itself was green, that they only peeled of that velament but let the root be. Is that something you should do or not?

[@synth1312]

Do you have a link to this orchid specie? I'm desperately looking for a mini phal with interesting leaves

[@sookie8762]

Bought a blooming orchid from Sams Club. Brought it home and repotted it with "Repot me" orchid mix. Now flowers have fell off...its spring 😢. I don't know what to do. Repot again? Leave it alone? Everybody says what to do at end of flowering cycle but not what to do when flowers fall off in spring 😢

[@lindapawlowski7720]

I found spagmum peat moss, and could not find Spagmum moss like you use. Is spagmum peat moss OK to use?

[@RC-no3dr]

Brown soil like peat moss isn’t good. Sphagnum moss is probably what you’re needing or looking for

[@staceyvictoria275]

I noticed you put the moss in first and then the bark. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Moss hold water and causes root rot

[@Stumpybear7640]

Hi Danny! Can I ask u a ? Are phal's bred to be hardy and overcome rootlessness? Xx

[@_tripsa]

Reusing substrate that had rotting (and stinky according to you) roots in it, wouldn't cause issues later?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, if the roots were rotten and stinky and the medium very new and fresh, all's ok and it can be reused after removing the root bits. If the medium is the stinky one, then it shouldn't be reused 😊

Hi, I am wearing them for my own protection. It's not the orchids themselves that can be harfum, but rather everything around us. The more open wounds we have, the more prone we are to get one infected. One scratch is almost never an issue for any of us, but 20 or 30 mini ones, while working with dusty potting materials?
