Watch Me Water Orchids Growing in Moss and in Moss/Bark Layers! + Discussion & Explanation. 

Amy, I hope your viewers take good notes or watch this video several times....its full of some very good tips......Your media sandwhich is a great idea and your tip about getting used to the weight of a dry pot vs a damp pot is subtle yet so important.....Your blessing at the end always touches my heart and I thank the good lord for sending us such a sweet, talented, orchid grower to help us with our plants........Blessings back for you and your family!

Hi Amy! This is a great instructional video and tour of your beautiful orchids and sun room. I am an over watered by nature too! Thank you! Blessings on the rest of your week! ❤

Oh my goodness Amy. You have outdone yourself with this one! The *best* watering video ever, and thanks for the Catt tips. You are a remarkable teacher! And having just retired from teaching English as a second language to Adults, I know a great teacher when I see one. Thanks, as always, for doing what you do! 😇🎉🥳👏🎊🙌😇

Thanks for all the great tips, especially the paper towel tip. I will use that! Early in my orchid growing I had roots rotting in the center of the pot growing in bark with just a bit of sphag. I found that if I put inverted 2” or 3” basket pots in the bottom of the pot, it really helps to dry out the center of the plant more evenly. I find it helpful with bark especially in transplant when you are not sure how much of the root system will survive. I’ve also seen people that use very large clay pots to grow specimen size plants use a smaller inverted clay pot the same way. God Bless you!

Very nice Phals! And great tips, I do grow mine in self watering pots in pumice. I really enjoy growing Phals. For many years now. ❤

Great info. Very clear! Thanks

10:40 some people who have a plant that stays too wet in the center and too dry in the perimeter, use bark in the the center and moss in the perimeter, instead of a sandwich. Since moss and bark dry at different rates. 💖🌞🌵😷

Thank you for the information and examples 😊

Thank you, that was very informative!

I have my Tolumnia in moss, but I have switched to bark entirely for my Phals. I seem to have done better with the phals this way. I found adding a layer of moss in the sandwich style too tricky for me to gauge the wetness factor. So far my phals are doing fine this way. I can more easily see if they need watering or not.

Still no rain here in Florida. Just look at that Magic Art Phal 😲 Thank you for this tutorial on moss, as watering it is still hit & miss for me. I'm a s l o w learner 😁

Good information Amy! Moss is tricky. I use cedar squares for my platforms...works great too. Many blessings from sunny Arizona 🌵😇🌵

Dear Amy 💝🌺 Thank you very much ! Blessings to you 💖🐕

Hi Amy. Really great information on watering orchids. I agree with you 100% about using New Zealand spagnum moss. It is the best. I tried the other one too and it’s awful. I’ve got all my Cattleya’s in spagnum moss topped with orchiata bark. They are doing great. Bella says hello to Jasmine 🐕‍🦺. Blessings my friend.🙏🏻🥰💐

Useful video , thank you ! I’m new to growing orchid and im still trying to figure out how to water them . Most of them are in bark and two catasetum in sphag. I’m I the only one who notice the squirrel jumping on your lawn ?😂

I found my phal love being in clay pebbles but have to be in self watering pots and sometimes I put some moss on top that’s my advice 😊

Great video Amy! Yea some have hard time watering moss. 😂 great way of doing it. 😊

Hi Amy 😊 ! Next August, I am moving to my new home .....and so are my orchids 😅 ! I'm planning to put them on a counter between the kitchen and the living room and to install special light rings to prevent them from escaping towards the windows ! Since I live in France, I can't purchase from your sponsors, but could you please sens me details concerning the size, the watts etc...of your light rings/bulbs ? And also a hint about the distance between the orchid and the bulb/ring ? The counter will be 120 cms X 60 cms. Tks so much for your tutorials, they 're so useful....and pleasant to watch ! ....such wonderful plants 'n' flowers 😊🥰 ! Have a good evening and take good care 😊 !

Hello Amy, it's been awhile but thank you for sharing especially, your BEAUTIFUL Orchids!! I've found that my three Orchids do well in a mix of bark, moss and alittle perlite but I think I'll do your method when I next repot them!! Love your content and calming voice, have s very blessed day Amy!!❤️🥰🙏🙏
