Saving a rotting Orchid - Cattleya with transport damage

[@walterjfrancis29]

I miss videos like this where you clean up and save plants.

[@TheShadow079]

hey Dani! just bought a cattleya yesterday, thanks to you. kinda fell in love with orchids, specially cattleyas. thank you for your videos.

[@anonmelclean]

I know this video was made 2 years ago but would love to see any progress this little orchid has made to recover!

[@TY-ob7fz]

Hi Danny. Dragons Blood, Plz give us immediate notification if cattleya starts blowing balls of fire 🔥. 😜

[@d.j.1927]

Thanks so much for your immediate response. I contacted the seller, and he stated that the pseudobulb with the affected leaves was most likely suffering from frostbite. He stated to remove the pseudobulb and treat the incision with cinnamon. I did. I think the Cattleya will be fine. Best wishes.

[@thephalaenopsisqueen6960]

She looks much better after your time and attention. Wishing her a speedy recovery!

[@marjanahs9030]

It's always nice to follow rescue plants. :) good luck with it.

[@whills7900]

Hey! A few months ago I bought 3 bag baby cattleyas from Lowes and they did the same thing like in this vlog. I thought they were dying, leaves turned dark, some fell off, so I threw them away. I thought they could not live without their leaves. A week too late. But, now I know how to handle the situation if it occurs again. Thanks so much for the info.

[@suyonoangkawijaya7560]

Thanks for the clear sample and explanation. It ia much help tutorial video

[@ing360]

Thanks for explaining how you know which ones are dead

[@elainefigueira1]

2nd and good afternoon from Brazil to all. Poor orchid!😔

[@jaybudd1617]

Best wishes on saving your orchid. Ed on Eds Orchids uses Dragons Blood on his orchids with good results.

[@Gradinaeconomicapespatiimicicu]

How is the orchid doing now? Please... may we have another video?

[@deeplydeepali]

Dragon's blood sounds like botanical witch craft and now now i'm in the mood for kiki's delivery

[@BushCampingTools]

Yeah I use clear pots for my Cattleyas

[@stanleyhofilena1733]

thank u

[@GL1FE]

Thanks for this video! It reminds me to put one of my oncidium orchids in an ICU😢😢😢

[@kathypollari7122]

Hi Orchid Girl. Love your channel. New to this one but since I now have a cattleya, was interested in making sure I did things right by it. How did the Dragon's blood work? Just curious. And could you also send me a picture of the current stage of this orchid? I know it's been four years, but PLEASE???

[@florencerobert1248]

bravo pour la vidéo

[@Gradinaeconomicapespatiimicicu]

you can also use neem oil (diluted) tea tree oil or essential oils or powdered cinnamon or ginger or other powdered spices

[@123456711129]

😟oh thats the one you received in the mail! terrible 🙁 I love your videos Danny!!

[@EdsOrchids]

Congratulations on using the Dragons Blood. You've no need to worry about using this sap of the croton lechleri tree it will do all that you wish it to do. Good video really enjoyed it. Ed.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi Ed, thanks for the inspiration :D as it turns out though... It actually damaged too much of the small psb.. and I almost lost it :( it didn't work that well for me :( sorry kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6fTiZ6wjMimbZI

[@EdsOrchids]

Just watched the video and I am amazed that it didn't work for you. I've never experienced a failure with this product. The disease of the plant must have been a very aggressive one. It will definitely stop all kinds of rot in its tracks. Thanks for the reply and take care. Ed.

[@sanatdas639]

Hi Danni, Thak you for your tutorial on various aspects of Orchid plants. I've purchased one large vanda with bloom. The plant was in much stress in transportation. After a few days I observe that the roots are very soft, some are broken and rotting at the middle portion. May I expect your advice.

[@ninalopez3183]

Hi Orchid girl. I had a cattleya with the same problem as yours I did all your recommendations. But I have a very important question. When I have to water the orchid after the repotting? The substrato is wet. already. My poor plant was in really bad shape. I hope for the best. Thank you very much for your amazing videos. Zema. Greetings from Southern Cali. :)

[@wandafel6403]

I know you kept it for educational purposes but wow that is so unacceptable. Nurseries should know "transport 101" DRY DRY DRY. I hope you give them a piece of your mind, again. That should never happen again to anyone. I bet though it will produce beautiful flowers just to thank you😊.

[@elenipatitsas5607]

Where can we get dragon's blood from?

[@aprylvernon8722]

All my dendrobiums leaves turn yellow and fell off I don't know what to do please help

[@casmarykay8433]

Do you ever use systemic fungicide? If not, why? Thanks for taking the time to post these tutorials.

[@ammrro]

Ohhh noo!!!!

[@pallobroy6148]

Hello again....i grow them only on stone chips....as bark is difficult to get here

[@maycasiguran7645]

what shall I do my cattleya psuodbulbs are start to rotten.

[@kristinkirgan3359]

Do you have any videos on the bat flower?

[@sandyaddison2322]

I have a cattleya that I saved after shipping and it is growing roots and leaves up on top of the rhizome while still having roots on the bottom as well. How do I repot her and keep her growing healthy?

[@ayeshahatalkar6715]

Hi Danny please tell me what is this potting mix? Can you please help me with a link to purchase

[@ladonnahamrick4220]

I have had cattleya for about 2 year. It blew over from a storm and I found something in the potting mix and attached to the roots its green and looks like little tiny pearls or eggs . They brushed off easily once it was dry. The roots a small and short. What do I do ?

[@jratiwon4561]

hey dani.. my cattleya orchid has like dead roots and has no leaves.. but has green wrinkley stems which has a possible eye .. can i still save it?

[@KAMJKJ]

1st and good night all and Danny sweet orchid dream may psychosis and some other orchids may haunt you in your dreams lol good night

[@mefry5491]

What is the name you put in the pot instead of soil, cocopeat, charcoal? I amazed ? Elma scheer thanks

[@moniquegebeline4350]

Undiluted 3% peroxide correct? My first cattleya looks great but has those dead brown sheaths around the bulbs. I want to clean her and change medium she was wrapped and what she was in was quite moist also. Great channel!

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

so if the bulb turns brown , is the infection coming from the roots?

[@teresamishodek589]

Hello! Under the advice of repotme I repotted my phalanophisis orchids in two sizes bigger pots than what you recommended. Are they going to be okay? Or should I buy another pot and start over?

[@BharatShines]

My Cattleya is losing green leaves. The bottom of the leaves have become blackish. Roots are also not good. Please help

[@alleytui6935]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jeffneal1569]

do you use the garlic and rice method? Is it okay to use?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, no I don’t, I use orchid intended fertilisers :)

[@CalaVdarivdavd]

Hi! What should I do if I have a miltoniopsis with one old small bulb, one large bulb which has a dark and wet patch on the bottom and a new growth? I am afraid if I intervene on the rotting bulb I will damage the whole plant and compromise the new growth!

[@brokenkeys1112]

Hi Danny, can you make a video about Stanhopeas again because I recently got one and I don’t want to set it back much?

[@jupreelamson4251]

Hi Dan, Just subscribed to your video and a new Cattleya enthusiast how do I know if the rhizome is dead and how far to cut the rhizome?

[@jaznjaimee]

Why Leca and not a mix of bark and sphagnum moss?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, because leca is a perfectly good medium too which does not degrade. This being an older video though, you'll not see it in my new videos because it dries too fast in my sub tropical climate.

[@123456711129]

would phals be okay in only leca? thanks for you time. I do have minis and regular size phals :)

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, anything can work in leca if it suits you and your environment :)

[@MelissaWalker82]

MissOrchidGirl I moved one of my phals to leca and do need to water more often but I personally like the set up so far. If the watering becomes too much, would it be ok to put it in a diy self watering pot like you did here? I am in a cold climate with a toasty apartment but do have a humidifier running. Thanks and good luck to all!

[@d.j.1927]

I need your help. I just received a Cattleya Pot. Netrasiri Starbright with all healthy green leaves and pseudobulbs, except one purple one. Is the purple one suffering for frostbite or an infection? Should I remove it? This one purple pseudobulb with its purple leaves looks healthy, except for the color--the color is not black, but purely purple.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, no worries, probably just anthocyanin ☺️ if nothing spreads, all is ok!

[@tiagomarques1253]

@MissOrchidGirl - Hi, Have you tried using candle wax to seal wounds, it seam like a good option and it hardens once cooled.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, yes I have :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l53XdKZqhbyknMU

[@marjancomicevski1509]

Can u do a video about effective microorganuzams like EM1 if u know what it is and how we can use them with orchids i do make my own microorganizams but i dont know if that can work with orchids because they are so much different from other plants thank u ... I just started to grow orchids tho ;)

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, you'll have to elaborate on that or link me to some scientific literature on it :) in the meantime kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJXaq5iNpKlqp80 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/an6qXqhopLxgnq8

[@daec4488]

Hi Danny/Dani! I recently purchased my first Cattleya last weekend. The seller mentioned they like to dry out. How does the self watering work with the Leca for this plant? I really would love to do a self watering container, but I might not have a warm enough climate for it to be productive.

[@isadorafreespirit]

Is the hydrogen peroxide diluted

[@daec4488]

Rosemarie Farrugia Doublet if you buy 3% hydrogen peroxide then no it’s not diluted. If you buy 6% then yes. It would need to be half water and half of the 6% peroxide.

[@orchiddreamdelight5016]

Great educational video. Do you dilute the 3% hydrogen peroxide? I am a beginner from Jamaica.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, no I don't, I talked about it in the video.

[@mariehargrove9390]

Quite the surgical operation...too bad it’s on a 'brand new' plant.

[@paulfastbikes361]

Hey Danny my cattleya flower spikes keep going brown dry up and die..help ta x

[@ChameleonSoul]

Where is the watering video for beginners?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, it will be up around the 15th of February :)

[@mickirun]

Where do you get dragons blood?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, I received mine, but try Amazon or Ebay :)

[@mickirun]

Ok thank you. I really love your channel.

[@mickirun]

I was hoping you would send a link?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Sellers vary depending on territory, I could send you as link to a seller that does not deliver to you, or that charges too much for transport. Visit the stores in your area and a search will show up all results available in your area :)

[@pallobroy6148]

Hello Danny, i live in eastern part of india where winters are mild..last summer i had divided my cateleya..they usually flower in November...but many of the divided orchids are now dead...and several have yellow leaves...they are all outside in balcony..i have grown them there for several years without any problem..dont know whats happening...please advise

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, it's hard to tell without too many details, but maybe the dividing process was not done properly, or the ryzome got infected. These are just guesses though :(

[@SS11660]

I would ask for refund.

[@sue5061]

Ed's orchids uses Dragons Blood, maybe you could send him an email
