Dear Dani, You are so amazing. I feel I have learned so much from your website and your knowledge! I have about 30 orchids and they are doing beautifully with your help!❤

I really enjoy your videos. I never was able to save orchids until I started watching your channel. To date I have 30 orchids that I have purchased within a year. They're all doing wonderful. I've repotted and cut back stems and now I have new stems on 6 of them coming in. I love them. Thank you for all of the great information. I've just bought 2 cattleya since watching your video today.

Hi Danny! Regarding your Rhyncholaelia digbyana, I agree with others, it is still a fairly small plant for this species, looks like the latest pseudobulbs just reached blooming size. I bought mine in 2013 as adult size (but without any sign of previous spikes), it first flowered for me in 2017. But after that, it blooms very consistently, usually every spring, about April (I'm in UK). I don't think it's difficult to bloom, it just takes more time to bloom for the first time than people expect. I've never had it create a sheath and not bloom, so I bet you will soon see a bud, they start developing before pseudobulb matures. You should see the sheath swelling at the base in near future! From the sheath first becoming visible while new growth is developing to bud starting to grow takes about 5 weeks, and then another month to bloom. The bud actually grows quite fast! My plant has multiple directions of growth now, I am hoping maybe for 3 blooms in April :) Fingers crossed for you, it's a wonderful and rewarding plant.

Thank you for showing the Gigabel and the gigantea. I have a hybrid called Jumping Jack (Tetrapsis C1 x gigantea) and it has grown 3 flower spikes all over 15" and NO FLOWERS yet lol. My Gigabel is also a slow grower.

I have a few tolumnias that are basically bare and they are SO needy! I’m in FL so it’s not so dry here but they are in the house so I’m going to switch it up and if they die, I’ll just not do tolumnias moving forward.

Awwwww, thanks so much for showing the gigantea and Gigabell! 🥹 They are gorgeous, albeit slow growers lol! If you repot them, please post a video. My gigantea hasn't been repotted since I acquired it from Lucke in 2022 and I suspect she's been in this medium for at least another 3 years cause she was an established specimen when I got her. She's ginormous and I dread the thought of repotting her.

Wow your lava burst is amazing. I heard that tolumnias should be on the dry side. I’m not good at that so it good to hear you can treat them like normal orchids.

Hi Danny, thank you for your tutorials, I’ve learnt soo much from you, and been able to successfully bloom many of my collection because of the knowledge you share❤. I recently acquired a Cynorkis Angustipetala which is really quite beautiful and was hoping for some care tips on this variety.

Hello, Danny! Could you please update us on your Bulb. polliculosum. Do you still have him? Do you have any advice for us on how to care properly for him? I have one as well and it is so different from a standard bulb. Shall I wait for him to drop it leaves before reducing water or shall I force him into dormancy by cutting off the water? I'd really like to take a good care of him 'cause I'd really love to see his blooms. I grow mine in 90% + humidity, under a glass dome.

Dreaming about a Maikai. I got a Chantilly Lace, but she only has spots on the lip. Not as beautiful as the usual one. Now, looking after another one 😅

Hi, thank you for these videos, I love your channel. However, I'm looking for a specific video that you mentioned that you posted about saving an orchid with absolutely no roots, I think you're to it as orchid ICU... Where would I find it? I'm in desperate need for some tips and advice with my beloved orchid in dire condition... Thank you so much!.

I really enjoy your videos but your orchids look better with the black background. I miss to see those colours and details of the flowers.
