Today we are discussing a rather fun topic: what things you will most definitely have to deal with at some point when growing orchids!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
First off, there is one thing I did not include and this is losing orchids. Most of us have lost orchids due to various causes, but the ratio of lost to thriving orchids is rather encouraging! no point in bringing you down, if you are talented, knowledgeable and most of all.. LUCKY! you might not lose any orchids :D I hope you don't!
1. Set back Orchids!
Orchids grow continuously, but when something stresses them, they can stale and get set back! New growths will be smaller and might not bloom at all! All kinds of stress, starting with environment change and damaged roots or leaves can set back an orchid. New orchids might get stressed in the store, so you absolutely cannot avoid it with most orchids. Some examples here • Rejuvenating stressed ...
2. Non blooming Orchids!
Did you wait enough time for the orchid to grow and reach its blooming season? Was the orchid set back? Is the orchid recovering or sick? These are questions you should ask yourself when your orchid delays blooming. Here is how to identify a spike though • How to tell an Orchid ...
3. Pests!
All plants get pests, orchids included! Inevitably you will get them. Here is your first aid in the subject • Signs of pests on Orchids
4. Spots on the leaves!
Some orchids have natural dark purple pigmentation, nothing to worry about! but if these spots are brown or black and they spread, it is time to get involved. Here are more examples
• Orchid Disease - Bacte...
• More virused orchids -...
5. Root rot!
It can happen due to various reasons, starting from suffocated roots, to pests in the medium. Here are some examples
• Orchids with desiccate...
• Healthy vs. sick roots...
• Why do Phalaenopsis Or...
6. Broken flower spikes!
Oh no, such frustrating times :( sometimes the spikes are just beyond saving, but if they are still attached, maybe we can save them! • How to fix a broken Or...
7. Bad smells!
Most probably old, degraded organic medium releases a not so pleasant smell. You should definitely repot any orchid that smells bad! • How not to repot an or...
8. Aerial roots!
Epiphyte orchids grow roots in the air naturally, so they will ofcourse start to grow them all over the place! all is ok, learn to enjoy them because they are important :) Want to know even more about the fabulous roots? • Orchid roots - Purpose...
9. Lots of fun!
Starting with watching them grow and ending with how we grow and display them, orchids give us a lot of freedom of expression! Beyond everything, orchids are fun to grow!

Just bought my first orchid. Binge watching your videos to understand them properly. Thanks in advance

@connordavis1094 4 года назад

Same how are yours?

@athenaflanagan6306 4 года назад

@@connordavis1094 I know you weren't talking to me but I had gotten an orchid about a year ago and my boyfriend just recently bought me a new one so if you're looking for people's experiences I can tell you mine. My older Orchid is doing okay, she's in recovery right now not from anything major just from me not watering her as often as I should. Since watching this channel she has taught me how to water fertilize and repot my orchid so I've never ran into anything major other than a little mold that I was able to easily treat due to her amazing videos! My newer Orchid is doing amazing! Everyone always talks about how orchids are really hard plants to keep alive but with the knowledge from this lovely RU-vid channel I would have to disagree!

@manonaicker4685 Год назад

Hi Danni I started religiously following your videos from the time I got my first orchid. I m now up to 14 n all doing well. Thanks for all the valuable information 👍

@juliannetibbsbrown774 2 года назад

I'm so glad that I found your channel about 2months ago. I've had orchids for about 3or4 yrs and lost quite a few. But since I've been watching these videos I've learned a lot. I have now save a plant with root rot( was in a small decorative pot with no drainage) and my sun damaged one is putting out new leaves. I know have 5 orchid plants. Thank you for being so knowledgeable and sharing.

@hildewilkens3772 6 лет назад

very interesting Danni - Thank you - and nice to end with a positive - orchids are indeed fun to grow - very relaxing after a stressfull day of work - I just love it and thank you for all the knowledge you pass on to us

@mariapeters9926 6 лет назад

You know, two of my orchids had a set back after i repotted them. The thing they had in common was that i left most of the original roots on them, cutting only a few brown rotted roots. After a few days all the good roots rotted and the orchids (a denphal and a zygopetalum) started to dehidrate! They are ok now, but i'm a little more afraid of repotting now. This video made me think a lot about they're root rots! Thanks, Danny.

@helenetrstrup4817 3 года назад

Unsightly!? I think the silver-colored airial roots are part of the charm of an orchid. Although they do tend to get quite entangled with their neighbours if they're standing close enough to each other. Untangling them can be quite the task. 😆

@adriand6883 3 года назад

@susiejohnson4530 Год назад

Hey, I am Loving your videos Very informative and interesting. My first attempt at an orchid is a rescue plant from Lowe's. I've had it a few months now, got a new leaf SLOWLY making its way into the world. I grow it on a piece of drift wood with no substrate. I soak it 2 times a day in a bowl of well water, no additives, just yummy. I TRIED some sphagnum moss to hold more moisture on the plant/drift wood but it was MESSY and I rather just submerge the roots in water daily then let them dry on the driftwood. I've just noticed a few brown spots on the bottom/back side of the roots. They are dry and look and feel like soil but it hasn't been in soil since I rescued it. Some of the roots are drying up and dying. I cut them off immediately at the the node above the dead portion, getting NEW roots too!! yea. The brown stuff on the back of the roots concerns me. Can't find a single video on the internet that addresses it..I'd really love to save my Phalaenopsis orchid/FIRST attempt, we've bonded, and I don't like failure. Could you recommend a video if one is available? or a treatment? I'm considering peroxide. I want to be successful with this one so I can get the SPOTTED leaf one!! LOVE those leaves alone. Thanks SO much for your awesome videos.

@danielsongsings 6 лет назад

Hi Danni/Dani! I have this phalaenopsis orchid that has four healthy looking leaves on it but none of the roots are green and all of them are either brown and mushy or stiff (I have another orchid that's also getting stiff brown roots!). Do you know what's going on with my orchid?? Thanks!

@cristinarnold 5 лет назад

Hi Danni! All of my orchids went through hurricane Irma (Direct hit here as a cat 4 in the keys😞) about 3 weeks prior to you filming this video. I lost my "orchid tree", it was a Sea grape that i put my orchids hanging or attached directly to it. Lots of Spanish moss too!! But only 3 were salvageable. My Encyclia butterfly orchid is on a cork mount about 4×3" and has grown very well on it. It was saved from a fallen tree years ago. But hasn't bloomed but 1 bloom for me 😕 any ideas on what i could do to help it? And a hurricane would be a major stressor right?? Thank you!!

@stellas3937 4 года назад

Love your videos. I have a dendrobium which has flowers like a phalaenopsis. The leaves look fine on the top, but underneath they have large light patches. I have three flower spikes and the flowers look wonderful, but there are small black shiny dots on the leaves which wash off. Not sure if this is a virus or a pest. I don't think they are scale insects. Can I save my lovely orchid?

@breacharce 5 лет назад

Great video. It might be fun to share what we experience as growers, not really orchid related, e.g. lacking of living space due to giving more space to orchids, mom warning us on ¨wasting money¨, having our kids share the hobby.. etc.. Just a thought..

@natalietom2299 6 лет назад

Hello, Danny. Would it be okay to plant the aerial inside the medium if the other roots are not doing well?

@CarterLeigh 3 года назад

@caseyciaccio5259 4 года назад

Are you using those clay balls that float on water? If so what a clever idea! Without the water they will leave room for a lot of air. Good idea. I now have 5 different orchids and it's a learning experience. This video eased my mind realizing that I've gone through a few of these.

❓Hi Orchid Girl! *I just watched a video about giving 5 tablespoons rice water or rice tea, one time every month, for root growth and health.* Have you ever tried this DIY fertilizer❓ I only have 5 and I’m scared a little to try it. But I need root growth badly on two of the 5. Love your channel. It’s a go-to when my orchids are acting out of the ordinary. P.S. I followed your directions by cutting the stems above the little nodes after I had a double bloom in Jan 2021. BOTH OF THE STEMS REBLOOMED! ……AND THEY ARE STILL IN BLOOM JAN 2022 🤗🤗🤗 I wish I could post a pic. We can’t believe it worked so easily! It’s a white phal. (I am an amateur 😉), so it was beautiful through the holidays.I’ll never cut a FLOWER spike any other way. The plant is kind of weak but I will repot after these drop and hover over it 😂. We have only lost one bloom! THANK YOU💕 And thank you in advance for answering my question. Sully

@greggeo5933 6 лет назад

Hi, Dani! A really beginner here... I like your videos, and the way, you thinking, so let me ask for some advice. :) Soon, I have to repotting, becouse the current medium is starting to broken down. Currently, I use bark, and clear plastic pots, with aircones in the middle. I am a proud owner of two phals since fall of 2016. Both of them reblooming, and have flower spikes. One of them is going wild, perhaps due to too heawy fertilisation, it have 4 spikes, a deformed leaf, and a basal keiki with one spike. btw, the spikes looking good, and the buds too. I have a big quantity of redpine bark, witch was a gift, it is for terrariums, but it smells like pine resin. Can I use it as orchid-medium, or it will be bad for the roots, becouse of the resin? And I consider to switch form organic (bark) to inorganic medium. (probably lica) I like your semi-hydro setup, but I live in a different climate, middle of the Carpathian basin. I like the bark too, but it is tend to break down. Can you give me some advice in semi-hydro, considering this climate? (especially in cold winters) If I am correct, you had similar climate to mine before you moved to Cyprus. If not, sorry, my bad. :) But I would still appreciate your opinion.

If you have radiators, you may be able to set a small metal pot on top when they're on during cold days to give off water vapor. If you don't, I'm sure you can look up tricks online. Best of luck, and sorry if I wasn't very helpful.

After that it seemed like the crown started to dry up and it has lost some of the top roots! One leaf dried up at the spot where its attached to the crown and fell off while still completely green!

Hey Danny. One more for the list, MissOrchidGirl’s “talking hands”🤓 In a video you posted two years ago, advice for beginners: k.i.s.s., keep it simple sweetie?? Wasn’t that supposed to be stupid 😳 ? I do have a stupid question, and I’m really a beginner also. Here in the states it seems all we find in phals and of course in the popular shade of purple. Anyway I found one that had a healthy root the thickness of a ballpoint pen with two spikes and each spike splitting into two. The problem, it’s bug infested and will be an Xmas present for Mom. I’m isolating in my house right now. It’s in clay pots buried in moss. What should I do to not lose the spikes and buds and not bring the bugs to Mom. Always love your thoughts and energy. Best.
