Today we continue our Orchid Care for beginners series with an important episode, which will address what you should do after your orchid stops blooming!

How to extend the life of orchid flowers • Orchid Care for Beginn...
Flowers are not supposed to last forever on our orchid, they will naturally dry and fall, one by one. Now it's when the orchid will burst into growth, producing new leaves and roots and even grow in size.
Repotting is a must if it hasn't been done by now and water and fertilizer should be a priority! Together with these elements bright shade and shelter from direct sun, along with intermediate temperatures will make sure your orchid will grow normally and will have great chances to rebloom!
Cutting the main flower spike above a growth node, or growth bud, can promote another secondary spike with another flush of blooms! This is recommended only if the orchid is healthy and has a good root system!

We rehomed them, and thanks to your video series, they are not only very happy in their new pots and medium but one of them has a new set of blooms starting! Thank you so much for such an amazing video of a wealth of information for us Orchid fans.

@kevinkinney2842 3 года назад

Hey Danny, thank you so much. I am becoming the orchid guy at work. I currently have 11 rescues from teachers who receive them and then neglect them. Some of which have come straight out of the garbage. Because of your videos, my rescue success rate has gone way up. Some of my rescues have been incredibly remarkable. I have also taught some teachers how to care for their orchids and my one friend still has blooms from the plant he received in September of last year.

@kempfiles 3 года назад

My late mother loved orchids so much. She was able to grow some and took care of them til she passed away in 2014. Vanda, catleya and dendrobiums are the only ones she had and I remember pretty well how she wished to have Phalaenopsis. With this channel, I am now being inspired to fulfill that wish of her. I will try my very best to look for Phalaenopsis and give myself a chance to grow them and take good care of them. Thank you for producing educational videos such as this that help an emerging ochid lover like me to understand more about these beautiful flowering plants. God bless!

Thank you SO much for this video, it took way too long to find. I recently became an orchid parent to two orchids as condolence gifts and I am determined to do right by them even though I have zero experience. They just finished dropping their blooms and I have been all over the internet trying to find a clear guide on what to do now. They are both behaving very differently. So far everyone seems to assume a bit of starting knowledge or explains only one situation, so there seemed to be a lot of conflicting info. This video answered all the specific questions I had that I was having little luck finding answers to! I'm off to watch the rest of the series now, and thank you again. 🙏💜

My Phal has been growing like crazy. It had two flower spikes when I got it and I didn't trim the spike whatsoever, it grew a lot of new leaves, and some of the roots even grew straight up! Towards the end of December I noticed that there were two new flower spikes coming from the base of the plant and the two previous spikes were flowering. I was gifted with 4 flowering spikes! It is now flowering for a second time on one of the previous spikes, so I've had so far 6 months of flowers :)

@ErenaaLamb 5 лет назад

So I don't need to trim it and the plant will bloom on the old spikes again too? The part with the trimming confused me, when I do that all the time after the flower bloomed I will end up with sometims don't having any spikes.

Can't wait for more flowers and I am definitely getting more plants if the flowers shoot! X

Earlier this summer I trimmed off one of the flower spikes on mine because it was dried up, but the other one looked green stil. After following your fertilizing advice all summer it now has new roots, a new flower spike coming up and the spike I left is putting off new branches and showing signs of buds. I couldn't be happier. We bought it early last year and it stayed blooming all last winter into spring. This is the first time I've ever had an orchid produce new spikes for me.

I have just repotted them in bigger pots and they have responded by growing leaves, roots and flower spikes! It's all really rewarding and I appreciate having access to your expertise so thank you!

Hello Dani hope you and your loved ones are well 🙂 I just had to get back to you to let you know that as a result of your amazing knowledge and accessible information and guidance my poor orchid that looked ready to be binned has a lovely new centre leaf 😮 I gave her a good drink for 15mins and sure enough her poor wee neglected roots turned green. That is a wonderful thing to know. I never realised that orchids needed a soak like that. I have sent away for an orchid repotting kit and can’t wait to spruce her up 🙂 Apart from feeling guilty about neglecting the plant I wanted to try and save her because my husband bought me it to cheer me up a few years ago. It’s symbolic of the love of my husband and the determination of the orchid to survive 😌

@IAmHisBeloved5 2 года назад

How’s your orchid doing?

@annecy49 5 лет назад

A friend of mine gave me a small orchid that was not thriving... until I put it at my place in a room filled with light. To my surprise, it developed a keiki on an old spike and two new spikes grew from the plant. On one of the new spikes, three secondary spikes grew and on the other spike, one secondary spike also grew! So the plant has one keiki and six spikes, which should give a total of 28 or 29 flowers when in full bloom!!! It is a small orchid and I am astonished by its vitality as I have done nothing special. It just has a lot of natural light and some water once a week! It is a blessing to see it.

The same one is blooming again, bud showed Feb 14th 2020 and has 3 blooms with another bud, so excited that i've finally had success.

Thank you for this wonderful information. I have managed to keep an orchid alive and having beautiful blooms for nearly 2 months now. This is the first time I have managed to keep one alive this long. I used to think of them more like cut flowers that just lasted longer than a few days. I have been bottom watering it once a week (our house is very dry) and letting the roots really soak up the water, but then letting water run through from the top to get the bark saturated really well (again, very dry house). I stumbled onto this video looking for how to take care of the stems the flowers are on, once done blooming. I guess in nature they must die off on their own and grow entirely new ones since nobody is there to trim them. But obviously the care for a plant that is inside a home is going to have some variance to what would occur in nature! I am going to be watching other videos so that I can see when the best time to repot the orchid will be and into the best soil, fertilizing, and also seeing if there are some good watering tips to continue to keep my orchid alive. I told myself that if I can keep this one going, it will be time to get another (or several more).

I have couple of orchids. I managed kill two of them. 😐One by overwatering which caused rotting the main stem. And the other one (my first ever one) by forgetting I had an orchid. It took me a year to realise And it was only because we were moving houses 🏡 😯 BUT I brought them back to life, both of them 😇. First one (over watered) by cutting everything off to the its very core and left it on window silling to dry it out on direct sun ☀️ and I think she loved it. It took about two weeks to show me I managed to save her. 😊 And the second one (forgotten one/dried out) I cut dried stems off, repoted and watered it everyday bit by bit until I saw roots were healthy green. So my conclusion about orchids is that Orchids are very hard to kill. If people tell my otherwise it’s because people give up on them. And I never had issue with leaving them on direct sun in summer. Anyway I love your videos, you’re sharing lots of useful information which is nice and helpful 👍 keep what you doing, you’re doing a great job 🙂💖

All the leaves on mine have fallen off. I dont know what to do. I am going to be repotting and seeing if any roots are viable. I hope so.

@nalinir5092 4 года назад

I always kill mine due to overwatering and not seeing any regrowth after many months and then the yellowing of leaves. Will have to give orchids on other shot lol

I also killed one of my orchids by forgetting I even had it, I am now in the process of trying 5o revive it. I cut off all the dried out roots, cut a bit off the ends of the stems because those were a little dried to, and watered it. At first, the leaves were hanging down and were very soft but now they are getting harder and aren't hanging down so much. There also was some kind of insect in some white stuff hiding in a leaf that rolled itself up, so I removed it ofc very nasty. Also, I got her a brother yesterday so she isn't so alone!

I agree with J. Torres. I wanted to buy an Orchid a year ago and was reluctant. Yesterday, I bought two new orchids and also picked up some items from Repotme.com You have given me the courage and knowledge to start growing these lovely beauties in my home. I cannot thank you enough for your help and wisdom. Thank you so much!

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. My husband purchased me one for my birthday in September. My blooms just fell this week. I was so scared I was killing it. I kept moving it and watering once a week per the directions. Then I finally stopped, looked up how to care for it and found you awesome video. Thank you.

I love to go to box stores and grab up all the sick clearance orchids. Give them some TLC for a season and get them to bloom again.

Great video! Amazing information! I don't usually make comments, but this was so helpful that I had to share. I received an orchid as a gift. I couldn't bear to give up on it after the flowers fell off, even though I always heard how hard orchids are to care for. This video makes me now want to save all the ones I saw on clearance at my local home improvement store. I will definitely watch the rest of the videos in the series. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
