What is Orchid Water Culture? 

I'm just now learning about water culture for orchids. I had no idea! but love the concept because the main thing I like about orchids is its root system. I've been trying to figure out how I could display the orchid roots. NOW if have a way. Thanks for showing me the way. I appreciate what your doing.

Your orchid video is fantastic! I now have two orchids doing wonderful due to your video instruction. Keep up your good work by sharing. Thank you.

I’ve switched to water culture because my 2 first and only orchids were rotting in the bark and moss they came in. I also live in the desert so it gets dry fast but I am rehabilitating my friends orchid which is doing amazingly well in bark so I kept it that way and she’s thriving. Your videos are so much more informative than most other big orchid gurus out there! Thank you so much. 🌸

This is a great video. Very informative.

Thank you for this great video! I'm new to Orchid care but am loving these beauties so far! I feel much better after watching this video - I have been tweaking my care since I got them to find the right medium that will make them survive and thrive. I am from the North East of the US, a colder environment and am finding it challenging but you've given me some great guidance to keep trying. Ty, ty, ty!

I. Love. Your. Videos!!! Thank you so much for great content!!!! 😃😃😃

Danielle's Orchid Ranch. Hi I've been watching a lot of plant videos, and I like the way you let people know that there is more then one way to care for orchid's and you give them choices. It's not just one way. Enjoyed the video thanks happy growing.

Danielle you do a great job in teaching how to grow orchids and Water culture I have one that has got a new Spike and I'm so thrilled and I have one that has a new leaf and I'm so thrilled so thank you for your teaching I'm still listening to you every day so keep up the good work girl

You’re fantastic ! Honest and make me want to improve my orchid garden Nothing but blessings your way

Great tutorial Danielle; all your orchids look extremely healthy. Thanks for sharing and have a good week.

Thank you so much for this comprehensive explanation of water culture . I found it most interesting. I’m experimenting with semi hydro and have had some success - fingers crossed. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Love your info... I'm on my 3rd orchid transition to water culture ☺️👍

Great video. Your explanations were clear and easy to understand. You have some great looking roots and there is something so pleasing to see pretty roots.

Super informative and visual video. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this thorough explanation. I live in New Orleans, LA, where we run the A/C or the heat (like today, it's in the 50° range, and it's cold!) nearly every single day. I'm going to try to put my Vandaceous orchids, as well as my Phals, into semi-water culture, with the assistance of some seedling heat mats and LED full-spectrum grow lights. I've kept them outside during the warmer months, which they love, but they all suffer during the time that they're living indoors. My Vandas are accustomed to receiving a full bath once or even twice daily from April to early October, with almost full sun (plus reflected light from the pool), so when they're indoors, they have a noticeable setback, and I think that this method might help me give them more stable and consistent feeding, watering, and, of course, light levels if they're indoors with a system like this. I think that keeping them in water culture year-round with light levels that I can easily tweak, with a way to prevent them from being in super cold water, they should be happy. Thanks again!

Hello! I just subscribe and I’m so excited!! I saved some orchids from store and bought a beautiful one! Wish me luck! Thanks for ongoing support

Thank you for such a great video, Danielle! I'm slowly converting some of mine to water, as this winter really challenged my plants in NZ sphagnum...the moss just deteriorated too quickly and held onto too much water...ugh! My hanging ones did fine, because they dried out faster...but the shelved ones...the moss degraded quickly! I think the moss doesn't like the cooler temps. Last year i had them in a warmer room, but the heating bill was crazy high. Time to try something different!!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom! I'll keep you posted on how we are doing!

Very good video Danielle and thank you for doing this, there are still not too many videos on WC so no wonder people are confused about how to use this method.

Your video is really helpful and informative. Now I know I am on the right track.. 😊 I have different orchids in different media. Just like you said different plants different needs.. They tells me what they like .. Seeing your video made me try small rocks in the vase , it helps to hold the orchid with little roots.. thank you again. Subscribed 👍

I really appreciate and love watching everyday ur video of orchids. Because I just buy 1 dendrobium phalaenopsis orchid. I put n mother in coconut husk and charcoal and the keiki I put in a full water culture. I hope they will become successful.

They look great!!! yes the air and water balance is so important. Your roots are amazing. I think it is important to learn how to adapt to your environment and not just stick to what the "norm" is if you notice your plant has special needs. Great video. Lots of great information. ♥♥

Hi Danielle, Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been hearing so much about “full water culture” and “semi hydro” and didn’t fully understand it all. You provided a very thorough explanation. 😊

Wow! A very informative orchid video! One of my greatest thrills in this hobby is when I repotted a newly purchased harlequin phal. Her roots were all rotted. I put her in a small amount of water and within a month there was a root nub! That was about a year ago. Now she has many healthy roots and hoping within a year she spikes. I agree that we all have to be diligent in watching for root rot, etc but isn’t that the enjoyment of this hobby. I love trying different ways of growing. Thank you for sharing!

May I ask, do you change water regularly in water culture orchids? I just started and don’t know what to think 🤔 thanks.

I treat all my phals differently too! Some phals love FWC and some prefer SWC.

Hi Danielle received two beautiful Phalaenopsis in April when I was sick from a friend in a beautiful pot in spagmoss, so I just kept watering every few weeks. Last month I noticed it was so dry and one leaf was yellow and brown and just came off. I took everything off and found the plants were stapled to regifoam and spagmoss and was so dried out I soaked the roots for two days as they were dried into the moss cleaned out and put them in fresh water. I will watch and see if they recover some of the roots are turning green.

I was told to rehydrate orchids with black tea. I used chamomile and ginger tea and it worked Amazing. I soaked all day. Dried at night then repeat for 3-5 days. I couldn't believe how well it worked. Amazing.

I keep some Orchids in door - in tall vase . Easy care …. and orchids out door (in patio).

thank you Danielle for this helpful video. how are water culture orchids fertilized?

Great video... good explanation and I love all the glass vases and glasses 😍 I'm so exited for all your orchids and results. It's always great to see someone succeed. 👍👌🤛 Your doing a amazing job. Love rose. ❤🌹❤ Ps I wanted to say I have loads in different styles of wc. And some like fwc some like semi water culture and I have some in semi hydro...and its not less work like some think. Specialty if you keep track of every orchids personal needs.... It's way way more work then water every 5 to 7 to 10 days.. It's a daily check and see how they are doing. But I'm so happy more and more people have good result In wc. And congracts with all the subs your doing Soo well❤ Lol I keep typing extra. I wanted to say the glass bead are so much prettier then leca pellets I use I think I have to borrow my daughters marbles 🤔😂 Love you yours look.

Just love how you explain about water culture. I tried 1 and its doing very well

Just started with Orchid and this is a way I have been going so far so good.

Danielle, you are giving very valuable information and don't worry about those who have limited view points. Plants are just as different as humans, and each one likes to be discovered in a special way. And you are great mom to your orchids, they are the only judge to your care, and they look very happy. And we are happy that you share your discoveries with us.

I enjoyed watching your video. Very informative n I feel i wanna do mine. I am just starting taking care of orchids. I have a question: do you apply fertilizers? What are they? How often? Appreciate so much. Thx...

Hello, i love your videos! Thank you! Can you please let me know if you feed your WC plants and if yes, what do you use to feed them with? I have 22 WC plants. And few in a media. I keep them on schedule 3 days wet, 1 day dry. And add feeding into 3 wet day water. Please advice! Love your informative videos. Don't pay attention to negative reviews, I love my very successful WC growing! So far i have 6 in blooms, 4 with beautiful spikes , practically all winter i enjoy my beautiful flowers!

I have a Phal, with no roots however it has 2 great hard green leaves. The problem is that it has NO rhizone. I picked it up to water (it was in bark, in a well ventilated pot), and the leaves jumped lol. I've had the two leaves upside down in a container in water so they don't become dehydrated and the water doesn't get in the crown. I've failed with bark and sphag. Do you have any suggestions? Can this be saved or is the orchid already dead? I live in Canada, but have my orchids indoors

thanks for your info, my orchids have their second day in waterculture , hope I havent killed them, lol cos I might just have cut the roots too much on my Phally, lol

Hi Danielle, I'm so happy to have come across this video on water culture. I've been wondering if this method of growing orchids would even work! Your wonderful collection has proven that it does. Thanks for your great video video. I have one question/comment: You don't seem to have a problem with algae, everything seems to be clear. Is algae growth ever an issue with your collection? If it has been how have you dealt with it? Another thing I'm curious about is the light level that you provide for your orchids. Could you please comment on that. maybe you've done a video on that topic already? I'll check your postings to see. Thanks again!

I want to do what you do, but, I can not get my orchid in water without watering the crown because no matter what glass I use I can not twist the roots to fit or they will break. What to do?

I love all your advice. I'm about to give up water culture. Till now. My problem. I have no good light. Can they grow from light with my table lamp?

HI, I loved your video! How do you keep your water from getting green with algae?

Hi Daniel my first time on your channel subscribe, I have some danderobiums and I use coconut hairs, and they seems to not coming out well, do you think i can try the water culture, one of them loses it entire root system, I'm living in the tropical island Jamaica

Hi, nice to meet you. when and how do you fertilize, when orchids in water culture?

I must say I'm glad your having such great success with WC. You do ramble a little bit in this video but it's not to the point where I move on to the next like I do with some. That being said, may I suggest writing your main points down and going over them when you record might help a little with that. But your idea on applying WC on each type of orchid based on your experience is great idea. Keep up the great work and I foresee lots if beautiful blooms in your future.

Can I use a moss with a little water 💧

Hi Danielle.....do you find that if the bottom of the bulbs are sitting on water they end up with rot ??? i have over 40 omcids/ brassias/ miltass/ miltonias// so would love to get them out of the bark mix...and do a semi... on them.. .as the phals i have a lot......... but am worried in loosing them..... do you have a video on omcids in semi??? a lot of common sense in your videos ... well done....

I want to add an orchid to my aquarium top. Do you have any advice? not much info out there about a procedure. After watching your video I feel more inspired.

So I have two Phals, that were badly dehydrated and i read to put them in water and dump the water every 12 hours. I really havent done that, but i would let them dry out for 8 hours. The roots look really good but the leaves are still what I would call dehydrated. I really don’t understand who much water they need. i dont know if they need full water or not.

Can you do a video to show us how you approach root rot?

Hi.... It took me 6 months to figure out that bark only worked SOMETIMES, and that I initially bought my plants for the blooms not the root, therefore half of my big collection had poor roots. Now I realize no matter the situation, sometimes they just don’t do well, daaaa, so I am trying this water culture. Immediately I noticed the leaves perked up, I am still pestering them daily to adjust to the level of water, and they some have poor roots to begin with. What I would like to know is do they always have to be in clear vases, I see that you aren’t worried too much about keeping the top leaves out and open and they are funnelled into the vase, this is different, I am fussing and positioning them, maybe I don’t need to,,,,Wow this is very new to me since May of this year and I love it, keeps me very busy and happy, I have two new plants with fairly good roots in semi water, I am not going to try the drying out method, I am happy to observe and change water and keep an eye on the levels. I live in the Valley of BC which is very like Seattle weather, without the sea at first hand, good humidity during the winter due to RAIN. I am really learning a lot from your channel and buy just phals at the grocery store, I find the nurseries are more money, and they are exactly the same plant. I found my first phal this week in BARK, so I kept her in bark and so far so good, but lately it JUST has to be lava in my environment....with what I find at the grocery stores..... Thank you so much for all the info, I have to watch a few times to let it REALLY SINK IN, and to everyone that is reading, who cares if we have lave or bark or moss stuck to our slippers every day, just love these girls - Georgia

I'm watching my two ones
