Join me as I repot this NOID phalaenopsis orchid I got as a gift from my grandma :) . No idea what the flowers looks like, but there's something quite fun about growing orchids that haven't bloomed in your care yet - it's a nice challenge and I love the surprise!
In this video I'll explain why I like to repot these orchids soon after I acquire them, and go into a little detail about my medium.
Hope you enjoy! Orchie Dee xxx

Hi All 👋. Thanks all for stopping by and all your positive and constructive feedback for this video. This is a very early video in my RU-vid and is largely targeted to beginners. It focuses a lot on roots and transitioning. I realize the editing is not fantastic and there are some pauses and repetition. I promise with each video over the years I’ve assumed to improve my content. If you decide to stick around please check the description for more recent phalaenopsis repotting videos.

@Briellew_99 7 месяцев назад

Excellent explaining, i got a new Dendorium Orchid, it has many new orchids growing all around and was thinking it must need a new repot soon, I must get all the tools needed, thanks for this easy demonstration to follow 😁 my last phelnaopsis withered and the last leaves fell then i finally gave up🍃 but I learned alot from it.. ya see it was a gift and I decided I knew already how to take care of it that it's like any other plant, plenty of sunlight and water.. i looked up when things started looking bad and found it was too late.. the water i gave and put it outside were the 2 most mistake i ever thought possible, then i found it had root rot.. Baaaad haha like there was barely any green maybe like 5 roots left out of like 15 😅 the water i gave it damaged em all .. so i learned my lesson, study study study no matter waht plant I get .. i know they all more less differently care for now 🤣

@larrymwilson 2 года назад

Dee, nice video. We are professional growers in Mexico and have been in business for 34yrs. For the life of me I can't figure out why some growers pot their plants in sphagnum so tight other that transportation reasons to keep them moist during transportation. Most people don't re-pot and the roots rot. We re-pot a different stages of growth due to the size of the plant so they won't fall over as the plants get taller and produce tall spikes. This also protects the spikes from breakage. We always sanitize our media before usage. I like what you touched on about where you live. All areas wheather it the U.S, Australia, Europe or Mexico have different climate structure there fore have different temperature and humidity values. Also, heard you mention Superthrive fertilizer. We buy it in commercial size. It's all we use. We currently have about 250,000 plants in inventory and 1300 in our personal collection. Great video. Best of luck

@OrchieDee 2 года назад

Amazing! Thanks for the comment. This was one of my first videos, and I grow in a shade house now. I pot in orchiata, perlite and charcoal only now if I can. It's so much easier than dealing with sphagnum!

@larrymwilson 2 года назад

@@OrchieDee you know honestly I would use a good clean medium density mulch. The reason being is that it provides good drainage and it's easier to see the root growth which is one of the most important steps to follow. If the roots are green and healthy no problem however if they start to turn gray or brown you'll be able to see that as well. We currently have approximately 75-80 thousand new plants and a total inventory of approximately 260,000 plants that's all we have ever used and have had excellent results. Good luck.

After trying YT, I fully appreciate how hard it is and how long it takes to make a video, and I want to thank you for taking the time to try and help people. The whole filming and editing process is so time consuming, any video you make is appreciated 🙂 I'm really happy for you at how successful this video has been, look at those views! Maybe ideally it would be a newer video, only from understanding your points about older videos myself, not because there is anything wrong with this at all! Anyway, I'm rambling, because some of the negative comments make me sad, love your videos 💗

@joankiely3614 3 года назад

So lovely to hear from a fellow Australian. I live in Perth & have just acquired 3 phalaenopsis orchids & have just repotted them all after doing a bit of research on the internet. However most of the podcasts are from America & it is so lovely to hear from a fellow Australian. As these are my first orchids I will probably kill all three with too much care. 😱 It’s very difficult to find a choice of orchids even for the color at the moment I have found & the only place I have been able to get them from is the Bunnings outlet. I guess this has a lot to do with the borders being closed but would love to find some different varieties , as well as the soft clear plastic pots like you are using. Have you ever tried water culture with orchids, there seems to be a lot of people doing it & enjoying it with success. Cheers 😘❤️🥰😊💕

Now thanks to watching your video I will repot them and spray them with the Peroxide and new mix and hopefully, that will do the trick. However, on the bright side 3 of them have produced flower stems and are blooming happily, in spite of the mealy bugs. Great info TFS

@jodiegilroy4537 5 лет назад

Wow, this is a great video, thank you!! I have killed ok many phals trying to repot like other people say you need to- straight into bark, or in moss packed very loosely. Your point to consider what the roots are used to makes so much sense, and is the conclusion I have come to as well. My current set up is full moss, packed less tightly than how they come, but not too loose, so the roots feel supported, and so far so good.

@OrchieDee 4 года назад

No, I've had very few bacterial infections with phals. Only really in situations of high humidity and poor airflow. Rarely with Phalaenopsis. I use 3% hydrogen peroxide. And I don't soak the bark first because it's impossible to work with wet... :) . Hope this helps!

Joan Anderson you don’t have to! .. I just wanted the plant not to sit too high as I want new roots to hit the medium sooner. I knew the roots were going to be a little buried if I planted it at the level I wanted. It depends on your plant and choice. Over time your roots will emerge from higher on the stem and if you have lots of healthy Leaves your plant won’t miss a couple small old ones :)

@mercedesmusgrove7700 4 года назад

Hello and thank you for the video. Since it is for beginners it would be helpful if you could explain why you wear gloves and spray the roots with hydrogen peroxide. Also if you can write the names of the different additives for the mix because most of us beginners are not familiar with those mixes as it is not your average potting soil. Thanks again for making these very helpful and well done videos :)

@OrchieDee 4 года назад

Gloves are optional really. I just don't like getting dirt under my nails!! It's good practice to wash hands or change gloves between plants to prevent cross infection. Hydrogen peroxide works the same as it does on wounds - just helps spot kill fungal spores, bacteria, snails, and some pests like mealy bugs. Check out this repotting video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3wG2AP_PxkE.html .. it goes into more depth about my 'ingredients' in the mix

@pattytoomey8596 4 года назад

Lovely video. But I would like to know what the watering schedule should be in different temperature and climates. IS it wise to put spagnum moss at the top to help to keep moisture in the plant?

@OrchieDee 4 года назад

I have a watering video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SvEW3dHEkO4.html . I have other phalaenopsis videos which explain when to water. Essential phalaenopsis can be watered when just dry. In winter it will take longer between waterings. In summer my technique has changed in that I water my plants with a pump sprayer, directly into the pot in situ (I have all my plants now in their own decorative containers) - mainly to keep up with their watering needs in my very hot summers. I personally don't keep sphagnum as a top layer unless I have roots developing quite high and I find they are drying out - then a little sphagnum kept moist can encourage humidity and root growth. It can develop quite a bit of algae over time though.

My plant looks like snoopy right now! I did repot it recently, and I feel like it’s getting worse than better, so I’m debating if I want to cut so I really hope it comes back to its health!

@OrchieDee 4 года назад

ohhh this happens. As you get used to repotting, you will have more successes and less 'snoopy' phals! If you check out my latest video, i have one phal which is doing just that - looking very sad - it got repot earlier this year, but it has a spike which is draining its energy before it had a chance to fully establish. I'd probably advise taking it out of the pot if it feels quite loose still. My big advice (which has changed since I posted this video a few years ago) is to try to make the plant as stable and snug in it's new pot as possible. Use small fingers /chopstick/back of tweezers to ensure there are no large air gaps when repotting.

Hi there, TY for the video. Very informative. My question is: Why did you leave that one root out? I have 3 roots out like you had the one. What is your advice on that??

@OrchieDee 4 года назад

Sometimes the aerial roots can be quite stiff and even if you soak, they still tend to break if you bend them too far. So I just left that one out. Some people advise keeping aerial roots out of the pot because they are 'used to' air and don't adapt well when potted. I don't tend to find this if you have fairly airy media.

@@lindadaigle3205 You're welcome & don't forget to MIST DAILY with warm water - orchids LOVE humidity! (& most homes are VERY LOW humidity!). Inspect your orchid every 2 days for problems & it should reward you with many beautiful blooming season!

k.r. hayman , very good info about misting. I didn’t know that. Always worried about water collecting between leaves. Misting would work perfectly. You knowledge is much appreciated.

Hello Dee, thanks for this interesting video, can you confirm that putting aerial roots in the pot when repotting an orchid is likely to kill the root or will it kill the plant ? I have to repot some cattleyas that have several aerial roots and I would have liked to bury those roots in the bark medium. Not a good idea ?? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Such a welcoming feeling to hear a recognisable ascent. Love from Coffs Harbour. Wondering where you sourced that type of pot from?

Just cuz u said it was given to your mom. It is your grandmothers plant u got me, I lost my grandma on may and I went to see the fam and my grandmother was a complete plant & animal lover, so as her unexpected tragic unnecessary death,😷 in my visitinoticed in my mothers house the almost dead plants, and grabbed one and took care of it(not an orchid) but did some tricks I remembered my grandma told me about taking clones, wow she could clone any plant... did the same and ended up taking the plant and two orchids/ I don’t know how to save them I want 2 / 🥺

Sorry I’m a beginner, what is the cinnamon for? Thank you for the help this helped me very much ❤️

@OrchieDee 4 года назад

Surina495liz _ the cinnamon acts as a dessicant. Any time you cut in to live tissue it creates an ‘open wound’ which is a point of pathogen entry. Cinnamon and help to ‘seal’ the wound as well as having some mild anti-bacterial and antifungal properties :)

I saved two from my yoga studio. Mine look exactly like this after ive repotted them for a few months now. When do they start the blooms or is there something else i can do?! They just have green leaves like this.

Am enjoying watching your video. May i ask pls. On the hydrogen peroxide. Upon using your 3% HP, is it pure n concentrated liquid? Dont you dilute it? Whats the purpose of it? Is it toxic to plant lovers like us? Will it be sprayed only at the roots? Appreciate so much your for your response. Thank you very much.
