Last year I received an orchid from an aunt after my grandfather passed away. It was done blooming at the end of September 2017, and now I saw 6 new buds on it! I’m just so thrilled about that. :) Too me this is very symbolic, as in: new life after death.

Warms my heart to see the rescued orchid doing so well

@allanmcelroy 7 лет назад

Thanks for this how to guide Brad - after following your lead, I'm hoping that a lovely Phal that my wife and I received as a gift will recover from being waterlogged in sphagnum moss (and probably a little too much kindness from us...). Oh, and I was glad to see how well your rescued plant has done in one of your later videos - I can only hope ours does that well! Cheers from Brisbane, Australia.

Thanks for the information on Phalaenopsis spikes appearing beneath the third leaf. I appreciate the point you made about cutting the non-producing stalk I needed to hear that. I'm following your advice for orchid care very closely. Thank you very much. Columbus, Georgia (January 16, 2016)

Awesome...thank you SO SO much! Just inherited 6 Orchids and I'm no true green thumb but soo excited to take care of these. :) Also...I clean homes and make my own window clnr similar to your solution, but it's 25% rubbing alcohol, 75% water and 4 drops Dawn dish soap! All these ingredients are a Neutral 7 on th pH scale---safe for most surfaces. (And now I see plants....AWESOME)!!

@sirMAXX77 9 лет назад

Amazing video! Thank you! I have a friend gave me hers, she was frustrated and weeks before she asked me about how to care for her orchid. I only knew a little, now that she gave it to me, I hope to revive it. There are some concerning areas, it looks like it is going dormant, the spikes are dying, there are new roots sprouting but with black areas around the bases. the base of the plant itself has some black area and I'm determining if it's gone rotten. it doesn't smell it at all, but I suspect it was over watered. I haven't watered it yet in the few days I've had it. I will go over the roots like you did here and cut both spikes just above the node, like you showed here. I'll make that solution too. I have some sewing scissors, they seem pretty sharp, I hope they will be safe for the plant. I'm a little weary on watering it, even though it looks like it really needs it. I also feel the same with repotting, I don't want to shock it, or kill it. Although there is a root that is stuck in the planter pot, in one of the vents.

I just got an orchid for mother's day. When I got it I repot it in the wrong pot to start of with & its roots were bad & damaged. Had to repot again in the right pot within a month's time.. Yes. I kept the stem with the blooms. When the flowers all fall off. I'll cut the stem. I hope my orchid will survive.

@shaneserowe883 10 лет назад

Hi Brad, I recently started growing a Phalaenopsis and a Vanda I bought at a flower show. After watching a couple of your videos, I realized that the Phala had a bad root system and I made severe cuts so now, it hardly has any. The Vanda has one structure at the bottom that I think is a root. I live in Jamaica and it's summer, I've potted both plants in plastic pots using as medium stones, Spanish moss and coconut bark. Please tell me what to do to get a healthy roots. I've had both orchids a week now. I also have a desert rose so if you have any tips other from neglect; please share.

@pamelahall3387 2 года назад

any particular soap? What do you do about the roots when they grow above the pot

@onewomanwonderful 7 лет назад

Very helpful. Am a novice orchid caregiver. I have a phal that lost its blooms some time ago. Was not trimmed down. The two spikes have grown quite long. Looks like there is some growth happening (buds) from one of the spikes. Do you ever trim from the top of the plant?

@ana-mariabadea4701 8 лет назад

Hello Brad, I am really very glad that I have found your channel. I really love orchids and magnolias and at the moment I have a Cymbidium and a Phalaenopsis :D. In this video, I have seen you also have a flower which seems like mine. Mine is a baby-plant taken from my grandma's plant but I wasn't able to make it bloom and I don't even know it's name :( I just wanted to ask you how can I send you a photo and maybe if you can give me some advice with this plant too when you can?? :) Thank you for all the videos you make, they are extraordinary!! P.S.: The soap used for the solution you're talking about is neutral?? or what kind of soap may be used? Thanks again ;)

@hildatubbiolo5135 6 лет назад

Hello Brad, can you please give me advice on what to do with my Phalaenopsis orchid? I trimmed off all of her rotting roots and some weak light green ones too. I dipped the stalk where the roots where growing from in root hormone and put it in new orchid bark.

@RocketScientistNick 9 лет назад

Hey Brad, I found a phaleanopsis orchid in my student home that someone left behind as they moved out. It had one cut off spike and the other was yanked out (left a hole in the stem with mold). The two bottom leaves were yellow and limp and had to be removed. The pot and medium seems to be fine for now. By now it has produced a new, healthy leaf and is starting to form new roots. My problem is: I have already found four new beginning spikes and I think I spotted another one pushing against the bottom of the cut off spike. Also, it is producing a keiki at the base. Five spikes and a keiki seems a bit much for an orchid that was rather sickly from underwatering only 2-ish months ago. Should I remove some of the spike "buds"? Thanks!

@BradsGreenhouse 10 лет назад

This orchid sat like that for months not doing anything with that spike so after that amount of time I cut them.

@xX_Olive_Oyl_Xx 8 лет назад

Hi Brad, I found your channel today while looking for information in regards to my phalaenopsis. i repotted yesterday from the original pot to a new larger pot. The original was a gift and came in a pot with tiny little decorative holes. the air roots had grown through them and when i removed the orchid i broke these off. will this damage my orchid? Thank you in advance.

@robertareeder1159 4 года назад

Being a beginner, can you expand on what soil to use and when to repot and how? Thank you.

@hildarivera4757 10 лет назад

Brad can you use any kind of soap like detergent soap or dishwashing liquid? What color are the root tips suppose to be and do they have to stay outside of the pot when repotting? Thank you so much, I needed to get this info, loved it,very good video : )

@marcmattulat6585 6 лет назад

Hi! I learned that Phals want to be potted up in translucent pots as their roots need light for photosynthesis. Now I see your plants in clay or regular plastic pots. Is that why your Phals are pushing out so many air roots? Mine, sitting in translucent pots, never push out that many air roots. And the roots of my Phals are green.

@solepapion3123 6 лет назад

I just purchased an orchid that has alot of dead root with heathly root around the dead bits (heathly area, dead area,health area all on the same root.) Should all of that root be trimmed back? I am getting ready to repot it into a container with better drainage and better meleia

Hi, Brad - I'm new to orchids and am starting with phals of course. Mine has lost all but one bloom with lovely green leaves and even new leaf growth. I see some new roots starting too so I'm very pleased. I have a few dead roots though; should I cut them off now or wait until the last bloom falls? Also, would putting a dish of water near the orchid be enough to bump up the humidity for the plant? I spritz leaves, stem and blooms very lightly with water almost daily. Is that too much?

@trinaportner4125 7 лет назад

@martaborn9051 5 лет назад

I recently purchased a mini phelaenopsis, at most 8 inches tall. It was in the clearance section at my local grocery, and it was just so cute. I've had it for a couple weeks and it's still in bloom but recent;y the blooms have started to shrivel. After some research, I took immediate action to see what the roots looked like. They were ALL dead, save HALF of one root. I noticed that a lot of the roots were previously cut, and the base was enclosed in some kind of thick sponge, and it was just awful. I mean there was just slime and all the roots were hollow. I snipped off all the roots, save that little half of root, and then I dabbed some peroxide on it. I'm keeping the poor thing in a plastic container just to dry out now. Do you have a recommendation of how I can ensure the life of my mini?
