OMG....you are the Orchid Girl and the African Violets Girl......those are gorgeous! I always learn alot from your videos. Thanks from FL. 🕊🕊

[@wandashaw3551]

Your Phals look so happy and healthy. I love mine! I love all my orchids. I check them everyday. 🐦🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵💮🌸💐🌷🌱

[@miaburkhart]

Im always listening to you while im in my office desk thank you i get a lot of tips to to take care of my orchids

[@patsfreund9164]

WOW! You sure do have a BIG phal collection! Your videos are always on the top of my viewing list. You provide such good information in a very organized and clearly presented manner. Today I will look at my phals (I only have 6) and check to see how they are doing. Want to repot a couple in an organic medium again as they aren't faring well in stalite.

Great video. Thank you for the inspiration to grow orchids and now I see how I can have self water pots. I am growing phals but in the spring or when the weather is warmer I will be changing my phals to semi-hydro and self watering to see what will work for me. I know that for sure I will put my denphal into semi-hydro as well as my oncidium. Love how all your orchids are looking.

[@tanluwils1736]

"...this year I will focus on more polychilus, hybrids, summer-bloomers..." I like what I'm hearing and I'm excited to see what develops in your phal space.

[@christinalw19]

Dani, you have encouraged me so much.❤️ I was listening to you, then Laura from Garden Answers also recommended you. I am a pretty successful gardener inside and out, but orchids have been my nemesis. Thank you for sharing your expertise. 😘🙏🏼

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Don't give up, it's just a learning curve that's all ☺️

[@lavernegibson936]

@@MissOrchidGirl i have an orchid that i do not know what kind it is. It only blooms at the tip of the stalk. I think its an oncidium as it has bulbs at tge bottom but tge colour is orange and yellow people say its a tiger some say dancing lady. How can i send u a pic to find out

[@JoyceDarden]

6:40 I have two orchids doing the same thing at the tip of the spike.

[@silviabrachner]

i got phalaenopsis in this self watering pots as a present a year bevore. the roots rotted away in this self watering pot. but not with the orchid soil which was already in the pots, it didn't look really good now, really rotted and no air ventilation at all. it is perhaps helpful if you know you go away for al long time, to fill that reservoir, but then wait month till the roots get dry. if you want to water once every three or four month this could work. perhaps this works with very rough mineral medium, which doesn't rott and loose its air holes.

[@SANNISAHIL]

This is what i was looking exactly looking for. Thanks again 😍

[@twistysunshine]

I'm just getting into orchids, but am already deeply into African violets, so when you panned over to show your collection I gasped haha

[@lindapereira5866]

I am a regular listener of ur videos. U r simply the best orchid doctor. I have a white phalaenopsis which bloomed a lot for me. Now the medium has degraded and i want to repot it. I need ur advise. It has a very good root sysstem. But now it is growing more roots at the base of the leaves apart from the old roots. Now my question is while repotting should i cut the down part of the plant and grow the top part separately. Will it grow. I want to send a picture of my orchid so that u can understand what i m trying to say

[@VioletaGherman]

I love mini phals and I am trying to keep them in the small pots I bought them in, they have the ceramic decorative pot that is so beautiful. Are they big root growers? Here I see them in large size pots. I just want to make sure I am not doing wrong by them.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, yes eventually they do grow quite big roots, I now moved them to a standard 12 cm pot ☺️

[@VioletaGherman]

@@MissOrchidGirl Thank you for the answer, will have to rethink my shelving. I was hoping to have the tidy efect by only having white ceramic decorative pots. I am going to have a busy spring looking for white ceramic pots that fit my space.

[@Eryalb]

This was a fun and interesting video! Thanks

[@zachduperron8543]

12:06 looks the phalaenopsis little gem stripes has opened its first flower. Did you know there is a variety of phalaenopsis little gem stripes that has picotee on the petals, also known as phalaenopsis little gem stripes cat king.

[@myfairyterracegarden]

Thanks 😊 for sharing.good information 😊 😊

[@nathaliaordas8387]

I am overwhelmed with all the information but I am excited after purchasing 2 orchids! I am just a bit hesitant to repot in a meshpot. If later on the roots grow out of the pot's holes, how do you repot them? Thanks! 😊

[@Celines8887]

I really learned slot and enjoyed this video..thank you!💗

The anxiety is reaaaal

[@joaovitoralmeida9279]

Hi, Danny!! I absolutely love the fact that I can easily watch hours of your videos and never get tired!!! I have some Phals for almost 6 months and after losing their flowers, they started growing leaves but no roots at all... should I be worried? Cause I repoted them a while ago and I can’t see new roots developing or adapting to the media :(

[@mjlemon]

Can you let me know what happened to the phal with the patchy yellow discoloration on the leaf? I have something very similar with one of mine right now (a roughly 5 year old store bought standard complex hybrid). The orchid looks pretty good overall. It grew multiple new roots and two new leaves this summer, but there is some patchy yellowing on the second newest leaf. It lives on a table with multiple other Phals that all look fine. It never receives direct sun, and I haven’t seen any pests crawling on it. It doesn’t seem to be progressing over the last couple weeks. It’s potted in an unglazed clay pot and has been in there for about a year and a half. I live in the northeast US. We have been getting cooler temperatures for the past few weeks, usually going down to about 15C at night. There was one night that I didn’t check the forecast and it got quite cold- about 5C- and I left the window cracked that night. Is there any chance that cold temp could cause such discoloration?

[@tommy988lo]

I'm obsessed with your channel! Whenever I see orchids in supermarkets, I always check to see if they're healthy....and the result hurts me :(

[@kareneyescream4339]

Can my sick orchid just produce one flower spike instead of a pair? I think that's the case for mine but I think it'll look weird with just one instead of a pair.

[@thatguy7848]

Does anyone know what is going on with the lechuza.us website? I have been trying to order some items for 2 weeks, but the website has been down every time I check.

[@victoriasullivan4438]

Hi I see that you are putting your phalaenopsis back into bark. The last time I checked you preferred leca and self watering pots? So now I'm a bit confused as to which is best. Any chance you could do a video update on why you made the change and your new set up? Thanks also love the videos

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, I am using bark and moss again for more than a year now, I reverted due to the high degree of dryness and I did talk about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKXHgn6sYpJ2qrc best thing to do is to check the upload date under my videos, cos some vids might be very old.. like 7 years old ☺️

[@victoriasullivan4438]

@@MissOrchidGirl thanks for the quick reply. One last question are you still doing self watering then with the home made wicks? Again I'm a big fan. I have killed far less orchids since watching your videos:)

[@irynalaudadio3646]

Dear Danni! I have small orchids collection . Usually I am buying orchids in store or from local nursery. I don’t mind to try a few unusual plants. Can you suggest website when I can buy them? I am in Florida

[@lambchop206]

My orchid is HUGE! IDK what I did, basically I ignored it. It has good roots, altho I think it needs a bigger pot, it has five tiers of leaves, and its just now reblooming. do you think i should give him a bigger pot once he's done flowering? please help!!

[@lourdesalbellar7973]

Love your videos!! Do you have one that shows your greenhouse set up? I need some ideas. Thanks!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, here's the most recent tour, hope you get some ideas ☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqjIq2enerufl80

[@sharonbetcher5063]

Where do you purchase the wicks you insert in the bottom of your pots?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, they come together with the Lechuza self watering pot, more info about my self watering pots in the video in description :)

[@sybelausia317]

Can you do a cymbidium care video? My fiance got me one for our anniversary last year and it doesnt seem to be doing well.

[@nragandap]

Hi Dani! May I ask the brand and model of the grow light that you are using?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, you can find these details in the description ☺️

[@renesonse5794]

Danny...In the first part of your video you show about 9 plants in transparent food containers with holes. I assume these are not self watering as I don't see anything below them that could hold water?? And what do you do about algae?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

🤔 not sure I understand your question.. could you be more specific and also tell me the minute where you saw food containers? As a side note, I don't have my orchids in self watering, just inside decorative pots 😉

[@christinenorton2510]

That was very informative. Do you ever use the pom that comes with those pots. I'm not sure about it. As I copy most of what you do I'd like to know your opinion. Thank you.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, I tested the pon and was really unhappy with the results, so I always throw it away. Here's my experience with it kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmekZqyOm85qlaM

[@DrinkingStar]

With all the orchids you have, you ought to open an orchid botanical garden for tourists to visit and be amazed at. It would an interesting place for tourists to see.

[@mjin2646]

Hi Dani, today I saw on internet that some orchids have only < 5 years of lifespans after their first blooms. Do you think it can be true to phals?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, you may have heard this about Sedireas :) I don't think that is confirmed and also not the case for any of the orchids in my videos, no worries ☺️

[@karlabollinger5331]

Like the stakes better also. I just got my first mini orchid. Good video. Wyogal Wyoming USA

[@walsmimarak8328]

I want to send you some pictures of my phals with disease, how can I send you? Iam so worried, when I searched in google, it says its untreatable 😭 Am hoping you can help..

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, just send me the link to what you found on google that looks like what you have.

[@weareorigin]

I demand to know where is MissAfricanVioletGirl is at!

[@gigitsi2]

I have a Phalaenopsis orchid that made two Keiki’s that are still attached to the mom and have no roots but has two flower spikes. Why is this happening and can it be saved?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, Phalaenopsis orchids can produce keikis sometimes, doesn't mean anything if the mother plant looks healthy. The keikis can be separated and potted when they have 2-3 roots of about 5-10 cm ☺️ if they are basal they can be left with the mother plant.
