Thank you for all of the great information on your channel. I finally purchased materials from your repotme link. I got slotted 6" orchid pots, orchid potting media, time release fertilizer and even a grow light! I can't wait to repot and care for my orchids, I'll make sure the temperature is a little lower and see if I can get some spikes. Just from following your videos and being more careful with the watering and root health my orchids have remained alive... something that I used to struggle with in the past.

Thank you for this Autunm care video!! I have 3 phals and 1dendrobium in spike right now and I am beyond excited!!

I’ve had my 14 phals in my bedroom window since the beginning of May, that window is never shut so when the temperature started to cool at night 12 of the 14 all started spikes.

I have my first spike on my first orchid that o repotted about a month ago. Thank you for all your help on this journey. I now want to buy more orchids. 😊

Thank you for your videos. I was just gifted my first orchid and I am learning the basics.

Yes! Thank you- this will help in getting more flower spikes ❤. I’m in Tx so I’m going to look into the warmer loving orchids! Thank you!

Thanks to your previous videos, I have now a one year orchid with a new branch starting from last year's spike and 3 news tiny spikes starting this autumn, I can't wait to see the flowers!

I LOVE phalaenopsis videos!! They’re my favorite!

3 out of my 4 flower shop mini phals have started their new spikes. 1 is taking its time. My pulcherrima hybrid is also growing a new spike.

Thank you, these are helpful! I have 1 of my phals in spike and 2 dendrobiums in spike! I’m waiting on all the others. So exciting!

Great video! I live in Texas so it stays warm longer here, too. The nights have started to cool so I’ve been putting some of my phals outside at night. Hoping to see spikes soon. I did notice a basal keiki on one of my phals. The plant is very healthy looking and so I’m excited! Do Jiaho Pink Girl and equestris need a cool down? Thanks!

Thank you! No flower spikes yet! Never give up!

Just discovered a flower spike on my Jiaho's Pink Girl! Thanks so much for the info. Connie

Thank you Dani I always enjoy the tutorials. I'm in US and in Wisconsin so we are getting quite chilly, with that by December and January my Phals will be setting there flower spikes.😊

Wow, this is very helpful! Thank you

I’m in the westcoast of Canada.. At this time of year, I move mine to an upstairs bedroom with a deep window sill. I typically see spikes appearing in January.

I love your channel! I have received neglected phalaenopsis orchids from people to save. Sometimes they have flowers or are making new flower spikes. Should I remove these so the plant can put its energy into rejuvenation of the plant? Thanks!

All my orchids started spiking outside in the middle of summer here in Canada so I had to cut all the spikes bc I wanted growth

My spikes are starting to come in already :))

We live in an area that has air conditioning so my phals tend to bloom in the off season! 😁

I have to brag. My Dancing Butterfly bloomed 7 times last season. I'm not lying I promise, 7 times. I couldn't believe it. During the Summer of 2022 she grew so many leaves that she no longer fit on my window sill, hence the 7 flower spikes. This year she slowed down but is already in spike here in October, go two of them. Let's see what she does.

Thanks very informative 😊

Hello. Another great video, Dani! I've got a grocery store phal in a 3" pot with quite a few nice green roots circling the inside of the pot plus a couple pretty long aerial. It's a dark, dreary late fall here in the Pacific Northwest, but I'm keeping her under grow lights at around 50-80 ppfd depending on the leaf and temperatures around 19-20C during the day and 17-18C overnight. My question is whether it's an ok time to repot to give her roots a little more room and mix in some repotme phal classic gold mix for more aeration as a bit of insurance against overwatering. Advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have a stuartiana 'sogo' that's spiking.

Cómo siempre un vídeo interesante! Dónde compras esas phalaenopsis tan bonitas?

Catch this later - but I'm wondering if my orchid would enjoy some time in the rain?

Hi , can you please let me know if you can. How can we make orchids to have 2 spikes? thank you.❤

Being in Southwest Florida, NO spiking yet😜

I started getting spikes in august 10 of them which is weird, I just found another 5 this past week,northeastern part of the US.

Hi Danny I have had the same 10 orchids ranging 3-8 years now. They have always been great bloomers usually each plant would bloom 2x a year until last year when I moved.. it seem everyone of them refuses to grow a new spike and they are consistently growing new leaves. I didn't change my watering or fertilizer routine and i have tried multiple different placements with varying amount of light with no success 😢 Any tips?

I love your films and your english is so easy to understand for a foreigner like me, so I can understand everything clearly and use your tips for my plants and keep them happy

I have 3 jewels orchids( ludiscia discolor, spiderman, and marmorata) since june and the leaves change color and dry , they don't like very good, perhaps it's a life cycle or maybe not... Now I change the place and I put under my artificial light and raise the humidity to 50, and use distilled water, maybe you can help me and make another video like these orchids look so bad! here's why! of couse when your have a little time, after your moving place.....thanks

Danni, my wife can't remember the name of the fertilizer, in the red package. White sticks you can use in different sizes.

😂 Danni...I am in Jamaica. Humid..av night Temps not going lower than 26.c in spring and summer. Not lower than 16.c in the winter months. My white Phal lives in semi shade on front porch. Had 9 flower spikes since January ❤

Ha ha love the tshirt, I wonder was Gekkōran Flower in that anime an orchid or not 🤔😊

I’ve been doing the nightly cool down for 3 weeks, only one (mini mark) of my 9 phals decided to spike. None of them are new to my collection, all should be acclimated to my environment. How long should I keep up the night time open window before just giving up on them spiking this year? (Only one may potentially be set back and have obvious reason to not bloom- the rest all seemed to have had a great vegetative growth this year.)

I've had some issues every year with my orchid's roots, so it wasn't able to produce spikes, this winter I was away for a month and left them at my friend's house, she forgot to drain the water and one of them lost all but 1 root, she's recovering. The other's roots are mostly ok but it started loosing the leaves, now it has a keiki (how long will it take to be mature enough to start blooming?) I hope I can get some flowers next year. I'm southern hemisphere so I have time to recover them I hope

So I just two of them and now the bloom is almost over. How do I get them on the normal yearly cycle?

Any suggestions for channels growing big phals?

Can you do a video for Dendrobium Nobile for flowering in the winter?

What about if temperature drops to about 8C? And you don't have a humidifier or good heating system

is black ant is bad for orchids? just found a huge colony into phalaenophsis roots

Hi Dani! I have been looking for a phalaenopsis zambia like tge one you haveon the table in the beginning of the video for quite some time, having lost mine to a mosaic virus (that took half my collection!!) Could you please share where you got yours? Even if itwas a flower shop near you, maybe they havea website and I can order it. Everywhere I look it's sold out😢

I just bought 6 phals from an online Nursery and two are now spiking. I won't try to repot.

My phals are producing spikes

I broke off the center leaf of my phalaenopsis when I was repoting it. Someone said it wouldn't grow from the crown anymore. Is that true, is there anything else I can do for it?

I noticed that flower spikes look like mittens and roots are pointy.
