Fascinating! I found an orchid by the garbage bin today, it's 90% dry, it seems, but there are some bits of roots that are alive. Going to try and resuscitate it with this great method!
Thank you. I have an orchid in a similar vase like yours, with live moss, it has been about 7 weeks. It is winter time 48 to 73 F. Wheather. No heating in the house, it has been 68 to 73 inside. It has been slow but I have 2 small plants growing and a area with two nubs. It was an orchid with no leafs, that someone gave to me, but it had some good roots. I cover the top with Saran Wrap and sometimes I open it for awhile. It is in my kitchen window that gets some morning sun for a little while. It helps the moss stay green.
You are fascinating to watch!! I admire the knowledge you share with us. I also like that you provide real updates to the SAME orchid. Thank you!! PS: I am off to your Channel to watch how to grow moss!!
This is instructive. My method is to moist the roots so the living ones would turn green, I cut the deads ones. Then i place the orchid in a cup of rain water under growing light. The water shall cover the roots only. Then within à week or two the roots will start to develop again and new healthy leafs will grow.
Orchids air roots can not absorb water directly from water but absorb moisture from air. Submerged in the water orchids air roots will simply suffocate. Watch this video about biology of the orchids roots: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1QpSC9wizuI.html
Jyvaine orchids, that's great. If it's working for you keep doing it. From what I saw on your channel you know what you're doing. The proper response to your comment should have been, "thanks for another method." I will check out more of your videos.
Very educational!! Thank you. I have a really sick orchid that did have a baby. It came from an old flower stem and I didn't know whether to cut it off or not. Thank you for the how to and the additional education.
While this is an older video, I found it helpful as I have rescued 4 drowned orchids. I was going to discount one that had no stem or crown, and what appear to be nonviable roots but I think I will try to revive it. The others are quite soggy but not rotted. I have my work cut out for me!
@@chloebelle4923 sadly I wasn't able to revive them 😕 it was a learning experience, though 👍 I think they were probably too far gone by the time I got them...at least I know know what to have on hand, and how to respond should I ever have a chance to try again! 👍
@@amyhendricks3627 thank you for getting back to me! I am sorry you were unable to save your orchids, but like you said, it was too late and now you have a strategy if needed. I am going to attempt to save mine that looks pretty good, in the color of the leaves, but has been totally limp from the store, due to their over-watering her. I knew I was taking a chance when I got her. She's a mini-phal. I think I should have already clipped the flower stems, to give her more energy, but I am a beginner and have been weighing all the options and hoping the re-potting I did would have revived her -- it hasn't. I am thinking I should have kept her in moss alone, but I used a bark/moss mixture, thinking, that if she was overwatered, then she needed more drainage than ever. SO much info is conflicting online. I hope this rescue method works!
@@chloebelle4923 How kind!! Orchids seem so fussy to me! I have two that thrive outside and bloom at the oddest times :) Then one inside that hasn't bloomed for quite some time. I just do my best and keep my fingers crossed. It sounds as though you are doing the right thing for the one you have in first aid :D There is another lady that I find really informative and helpful. She works with several different species. The name of her channel is Emaan's Garden. I know what you mean about conflicting info. It can be pretty frustrating! Maybe give her a try! Best of luck in your orchid adventures, and happy holidays, too!
I’m just confused because I was told too much moisture was bad for the orchid and some of yours literally are sweating but look great . I have one I’m trying to save and I’ve almost tried everything but something like this might have to give it a try 😅.
I used neem oil and sphagnum moss for my no root orchid from root rot, but mold keeps growing so I let it dry up and covered the stem in cinnamon. Following day, I tried to hover it over water instead of sphagnum moss, but 2 days later i saw mold on the same spot again..
This is great! I like the setup of the Orchid hospital and was wondering if I can keep the plants growing permanently in this setup? It also looks really pretty in the large tall vases. Also, will this work with dried moss, rehydrated, it not necessarily living….?
Where do you purchase that size glass container. I have two failing orchids that i Hope to revive….I know I can find peat moss here but may have to look for the other. Also what is the best direction for window light…Ty for any help. Really enjoy your videos.I am learning a lot! Patti
Question, pls - the main stem of my orchid is completely dry, i have only a few viable roots. Is there a chance in this case? it seems new roots cannot grow from it.
It doesn’t have to be a vase. Big glass mason jar or water plastic container will do the same job. Check craft stores, kitchen ware stores, Michaels, ask local florist.
I have done this from ur other video It doesn’t have any leaves and I put cinnamon on the crown rot I use New Zealand moss but should I cover it can I use paper towel if I don’t have what you use?
