Phalaenopsis Orchid care, propagation, and rebloom 

Omg I’ve been binge watching MissOrchidGirl all week and now you’ve uploaded an orchid video 😍 this is a sign that I need an orchid in my life!

Thank you for the daily uploads Sean, it's much appreciated!!

Hi Sean, you are very clean in heart ,you give us a very clear idea to look after our plants . Thank you and bless you loads 🙏 ❤️

I love orchids. I have a nice little collection, and I, too, get high on their growth, flower, and overall beauty. Thank you for sharing your passion.

So lucky to have watched this video when it came out! Thank you! I’ve had the same orchid for years. My oldest from 2009. I’ve tried many different methods and the latest one almost killed them! A few months ago I put them all in a mix of pumice and Leca. I thought they’d like a self watering container and placed theirs on top of more stones in a cache pot with a wick going into their pot. They looked fantastic for a while. Their leaves became lush and flowers never faded. Their roots looked green and healthy but I couldn’t see all the roots. Many began to flower again and some had flowering shoots come up during this time. You mentioned that their roots like to dry out. I pulled them out of the pot in time for a quick save! I found some black roots and roots that looked water logged. I’m trimming them up tonight and cleaning them. No self watering for these guys. They will dry out from now on. Thank you Sean! This help was very timely!!!! 🙏🏻

I love your subtitles...i hope you keep making more free videos thank you

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BREAKING DOWN THE NATURAL HABIT!! Having that knowledge makes caring for her extremelyyyyy easy😭🌻🌱🌟

my 9 year old daughter pick one out for mother's day I LOVE IT!

This video gives me inner peace and is explained very well. It's relaxing and very well done! Thank you

I was here then I fell asleep lol finishing your video now..you know I loveeeee Orchids!

I love phalaenopsis, so beautiful orchid!

I literally got gifted one of these today, so this is perfect timing! Thanks so much.

Thx for the video. Very informative. About 3 weeks ago I bought the same orchid (in your intro), and i love it. Now i know how to care for it thanks to this video.

I too am turned on my those amazing leaves. Large strappy striking leaves. Thanks for the video!

I’m just starting to dabble in orchids. I have 3 phals one is re blooming. I’m very excited!

Thank you sweetie, you dropped a few great tips for me .The frequent and low fertilizing which I saw at some super stunning botanical gardens. And leca for orchids. I'm going to transfer my orchids to leca too.Tonns of love and blessings from Botswana.🥰💚🤎

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing about mixing the fertilizer with the water and the pesticide.

You're like my toddler. He got all excited by the hose 😆 Healthy plants you have.

Your Phalaenopsis Orchid is so pretty....i love it. Thank you for sharing a great tips...A nice evening to you...

Thanks for another informative video!

Thanks to making this video and building viewers confidence❤

Sean you are amazing! I'm enlightened by this since i've been growing few Phal orchids, thanks!!🤝

beautiful palaenopsis .. i love it so much..

This video was very helpful! I’m excited to care for my beautiful orchid 😍😍😍

Nice video and sharing your orchids with us. Your orchid house is very cool!

Thank you! Your video is very helpful!

Very informative! Thank you!

Thank you for information on orchids l love them stay safe.😊

I'm from Colombia and down there I always had orchids, no need for fungicides, anything, easy to grow and more than 10 years having orchids, even I propagated them in vitro. Here in the USA I have bought these clones and it has been so hard to keep them alive! I always buy them and water them, fertilize, a lot of care more than my natural ones in Colombia, but these ones always die, same problem: root rot. Thank you for your video.

From what I’ve read the silver root color is a layer of dead cells that assist in water absorption by giving something the water to accumulate on when roots are in the air without medium

You're so amazing, dude...and kinda cute....Also, when you were talking about the fertilizer bottle there was a toad behind the concrete bar.

Thank you very informative, I use just bark, but same idea, water and dry quickly I like that, thanks for view in your greenhouse

I feel very strongly that you should get a vanda. If I can get mine to bloom in my kitchen in New Jersey, you could have a monster plant outdoors in Jakarta. It’s such a rewarding plant.

Love that picotee pattern!

Hi i like your vedio its very informative. Pls upload more. Thank you.

These orchids are so beautiful. The blooms are so vibrant. Thanks for the lovely share, My Friend. Wishing you a happy and safe New Year. Cheers.🍸🍸🇨🇦

Thank you for sharing.

this came with perfect timing for me--my mom just gifted me one, and i've killed every orchid i've had so im determined not to kill this one. i think i know what i did wrong--the leaves were never turned towards the sun! thats such an interesting fact, thank you. i've found that mealy bugs like orchids in the northeast of the states where i live! also, i love your commentary in the captions, they had me laughing while learning. thank you so much this was soo helpful :)

Your orchids n other plants are beautiful! Thanks for taking the time to share your video n tips w/us. God bless!😇

very informative video. tq

“I’m gonna liberate her” 🥺🙌🏾🌱🌟

It is amazing!!

I just got my first orchid from my work colleagues. My first orchid. It's blue :))

Thank you about the information on the neem oil, I did not know when to apply it😩

I always watch all your videos repeatedly and take down important notes. My plants are getting better and happier now. Likewise, i do share most of your tips to my plantita and plantito friends. Awaiting for more videos. From Cel of Phils.

as usual, just in time for new year and CNY 202! may we all bloom with peace health and wellness! thanks for once again such an encouraging video!

Thank you for the nice video. Two months ago I became interested in orchids and I think this will be my new hobby. Big like & sub.

Happy upcoming 2021,Sean.May next bring you health,sustainability and prosperity with your plants collections

Omgosh can I just live in your greenhouse? 🤣

Thank you for this Video

Just subscribed 😊. Love your no stress way to care for your plants. After all, they are meant to bring us peace of mind ❤~~~

I just found your video today. I'm especially excited, as I used to live in Indonesia, for 12 years, out at the Semen Cibinong cement plant. I have only become fond of growing orchids for the past two years. In Cibinong I had some outside, which got hosed down each day. Your orchids look amazing - banyak bagus 🌷 I notice you don't worry about water collecting in the crown of the plant. Perhaps, because of the heat, the water dries up fast 🌞

Awww I never measure anything either ♥️♥️🤣 just keep pouring till my ancestors say it’s good lol

“Should I work in a gas station?”.. 🤣🤣🤣

So pretty 😍 I have some of them, phalaenopsis are my favorite orquíds. I have 2 of them in blooms.

You can use the leftover spray on your hoyas! They loooove orchid fertilizer. Thank you for the video. Baby orchids are amazing. I just got my first order of “real” orchids. If you like I’ll be happy to send you pics. They

Thanks for the video. Your orchids and home are beautiful. Can this type of orchid be propagated from stem cuttings? And 7am is for peace and quiet, not lawnmowers or other loud equipment. 😁

Gorgeous

Beautiful orchid I have 14 orchids and all beautiful but I'm having a hard time with the blooms I get a lot of bud blast I spray every 7-10 days, I have water underneath the pot that doesn't touch the root, planted all in orchid bark so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong Lately I've had a lot of bud blasts major problem

Such a helpful details thank you, can you make video on an Anthurium? , like when it's growing in nature , it's potting mix, fertilizing watering etc.

I see that you spray the leaves of your orchid. I currently have an orchid that was propagated from a friend. I will pick up a orchid fertilizer. Should I place the orchid outside on my patio? Thanks for your video!

Thanks for this great episode! Watching you misting (splashing) your moth orchids is just so satisfying. Here is a question. I am confused why all the moth orchids I bought from the garden center and supermarket here in Australia were all potted with Sphagnum moss. You can imagine the Sphagnum mosses retained too much water, and I always needed to squeeze the soft plastic pot to drain water out. If orchids are prone to root rotting, sphagnum moss should not be the potting medium. How do you think? Thanks.

Hi Sean... how are you... I love all your videos..

I don’t keep Phalaenopsis pot in another pot - after water I want to make sure drain well. I keep some orchids in tall water vases- easy care - ever 2 -3 weeks- I clean the vase and refill with drinking water / filter water. don’t let water touch the leaves.. Spring time start new flowers 🌸

Thanks for your time and expertise! What is the growing medium? Thanks 🙏

Aku gaperna punya , and now I want one 😁

Super video

Give me some shout out sean! More power🤘

I have one Phalaenopsis Orchid that I bought with 2 flower spikes, 2yrs ago. After the flowers died, I cut back both flower spikes but it has only given me two new leaves, one each Fall/Winter...but no new flower spikes. :-/ I keep mine in sphagnum moss in a terra cotta pot. Each Summer, I set it on my covered south facing patio and bring it inside under grow lights each fall. Maybe I'll get lucky this next yr with a new flower spike.

NEW SUBCRIBER

Lovely Phalaenopsis blooms. I have about 10 hybrid plants. Healthy with thick leaves and green root tips but yet to bloom. I believe you are from the tropics just like me in Malaysia. I have been discouraged after reading the cooler temperature requirements of these hybrids for flowering. Do you live in the highlands like Bandung or somewhere similar? I was infact planning to place them in an air conditioned room for the night to induce a temperature drop.

I only have one orchid , its dendrobium aphyllum , and thats it , never bloom in my care, but hey at least it still alives 😂, so wanna have phalaenopsis

"Or ten" 🤣 I currently have 7 and 2 basal kekis. One maybe secondary flowerspike or keiki, not sure yet.

Lovely Video! I hope you see this comment! I just got my first Orchid today it’s the exact same colour as yours! it’s already bloomed has 6 flowers three unopened. How long do I keep them on my plant before I cut it? So I get a bloom again

I am SO glad that I found your channel! Extremely helpful and informative! The more you know, the healthier and happier your plants will be. Thank you! Ps, could you please tell me what pesticide you add to your fertilizer? And what type of fertilizer do you use?

Great video...a lot of videos I've watched, and articles I've read, say I need a 5 to 10 degree temperature drop to entice the phalanopsis to begin to spike. How do you get yours to spike? Thanks

Love this video but ? They don't get fertilizer in the native ehy do you fertilize them js

Do you have another video on orchids? I’m interested in how you pot them in leca.

So Sorry, I found Dithane, would you use as systematic, as when watering inside?, Thanks!

Hi, if the media is barks. Can you leave a little bit of water under the pot as you’ve done with your indoor orchid? Thanks

Love your video. Will the phalanoplis grow on a covered balcony in Southern California ?

I want to learn more about orchids , I need help please.

I disagree that they must dry out immediately (you said "within minutes" several times). I have been doing a 1 hour immersion watering once per week and my 3 year old Phalaenopsis looks at least as good as yours. I do use bark instead of liecha, so that probably explains why they can go a week without more water. I leave a small amount (maybe a tablespoon) of water in the bottom of the outer pot but not touching the inner pot - that keeps the root vapor space at high humidity.

my problem with them is that i bought them with flowers and once all flowers have died, just the leaves surviving and not thriving and certainly no reblooms

idk if you noticed but the keiki has alredy a spike

I just got an orchid and am very new to plants. I have a moisture meter in the pot it came in and am scared to repot it😣

Thanks for your tips.. 😃 i've just bought a phal last week n repot it on leca and water on the bottom (1/3 of the root).. i wish it will grow well like yours.. should i spray with fert again or just dilute it with water?

I don’t know if you respond to old videos, but I just adopted this orchid from someone who didn’t want it after the blooms died. I cut the stem to the next node. Should I fertilize it in the winter? It’s going to live indoors as we get very cold winters with snow. It’s in a Southeast facing window. Thank you in advance! 🙏🏻💜💚🪴

How do you propagate kie kie from main plant ?? Any tips

I accidentally dropped my orchid on the ground. The flowers fell off, but the roots and the leaves are just fine. Will there be new flowers growing back from the positions when they fell down?

What fungicide do you use in fertilizer? Thanks!

Sean iv had a mini orchid for 3yrs it only flowered once .i think it has plenty of light .not direct sun light .but enough light .but no flowers only happens to my mini orchids . HELP thank you

Hi Sean, I have a phalaenopsis too....it was blooming when I received it then the blooms fell off. I was told not to cut off the stem but it broke off while moving. It still has two leaves. How do I get it to grow a new stem? Happy new year 😊

hi sean! i like to know what shelf do you use for your orchid and where u got it!

Do they winter out side we have hard frost in winter

You are getting water in the center?

I am confused. You told me NOT to water the leaves yet I see you spraying the plants, leaves and all. ???

💚💚

I used to kill all my Orchids (sigh). Determined to get it right this time, last Spring I got 7 mini Phals from Walmart. Now, 9 months later, all but 1 have new flower spikes. And one even has a Keiki so that is super exciting.

is it ok to water it everyday if the phal is in pure hydroton?
