I voted for Trump and know how to keep my orchids alive, shine their beautiful leaves and keep them in well lit areas. I just like to keep an open mind and seek helpful new ideas from others on orchids. I stand firm in what I believe and accept you for what you believe. I don't have to be rude and put anyone down for their beliefs. Please enjoy a beautiful and healthy life!
Trump voter here lol and I love orchids they are the easiest plants I have ever had. 5 years saving orchids not one lost 🤞 People give me their Orchids like yourself and I bring them back, it one of the most satisfying feelings. I love to save plants, animals and people. I did learn anything new it seams I have been doing it right all along as this is the first time I have looked this up. I was curious to see if I was doing it right and my intuition was spot on just like it was for Trump lol 😆 Seriously keep saving orchids and keep an open mind, peace!!

Thank you so much, I have been half wrong on caring for my Orchids, now that you showed me the correct way I will replant them now. This will give them the perfect life and relaxation for the rest of my life because Orchids can out live you. My daughter will love and care for them when I have passed. Don't take any negative content that is said seriously, they just have to state their peace and get on with their lives. Thanks again....
My wife got an orchid for her birthday and well it did not fair so well. We followed your instructions and it is bouncing back. Thanks so much for the information.
Love your video im going to replant my orchid that i got like over a year ago. You cracked me up with your coment about the voting for what's his face, i had to listen to it twice. Loved it lol
Good video. I have blooming orchids for years now. The secret for me is I talk to them, tell each one how lovely it is. I water (soak) them only one every two weeks and give them vitamins at that time. I have one who is the champion of all champions blooming three spikes and the flowers last for 4 months. No kidding.
Thank you!! Your video is very easy to follow! Got an orchid from my son & daughter-in-law - it was outside in FULL sun 🥵!! I think it's saveable, it has 1 sunburned leaf but I see some healthy roots. I just bought bark & a small bale of natural dried Sphagnum Moss for Orchids & succulents. Excited to see what the blooms will look like!!
Thank you I need to repot my 3 orchids. I was so excited when my first orchid plant rebloom. It was so exciting and now I know how to repot them thank you.
Well I just started with my very first orchid. It is looking pretty cramped in its pot so I looked up how to transplant and found This video. Following to the tee. Thank you for the help. By the way I was keeping it out of the sun light. Now it goes, into the sunny room. 😃
8:28...I was liking this video… And now I love this video… Super informative probably the best beginner video out there...Well what I mean is video for beginners
Very well explained, enjoyed your video. About to check your other videos out and see if I would like to subscribe. I have 6 orchids, 2 were already here in Colorado when I moved here. I call the roots, fingers. I just feel like that's what they remind me of, fingers. I talk to them almost every day. I also take a warm wet paper towel and Very gently clean their leaves off. I just show them Very gently care, oh, and yes, I do talk them through the process. When I'm done, their leaves just get stronger and more vibrant. I have Never taken care of orchids before, so I am learning how on my own. So far, I have had 2 of the six reflower, and the oldest one has a new branch now. I must be doing Something right. I just wanted to say, Thank you for sharing this vital information with us, and I am now learning something that I Needed to know about orchids. Hi, my name is Angie, from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. Hope everyone has a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful day. ❤️🤗🍃🪴🍃🤗❤️
Hi dear thank you for teaching me how to look after my new orchid which was packed with moss. I have kill many but I won't give up I love the plants Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have subscribed to your site!
Thank you. First time taking care of orchid on my own. Very easy to follow your instructions. Do you have any videos on bonsai trees? First time for that too. Just picking up new hobbies. 😊
Thank you for sharing this, my sons got me an orchid for, Mother's Day. And she is about to lose her flowers. So I was just wanting to ask is, when I change her pot do I put small rocks on the bottom of her pot for when I water her ???? Thank you
Thank you for the information as I have a small orchid from Walmart that is growing new roots and branch. Looking forward to reporting it. How often and how much water should a small orchid get?
Thank you for this instruction. I have a purple orchid that needs to be repotted.i It is a beautiful flower that comes in many different colors. But .....there is no nice odor, okay.? My mom received one. from my sister, it bloomed great. then it started to loose its flowers. i like to do gardening, and have had some experience repotting plants. I saw your video and others, I will repot what is left and take good care of it. One time i had a small cactus plant. It looked out of shape . repotted it and a few weeks later it had a pretty flower on it. . Thank you, Kathleen
Great video! Very informative - and it looks like your orchids are pleased with how you’re treating them. Had to laugh at some of the comments on here. The world has just gone PC crazy - toughen you soft whining crybabies! 😥😩😩😩😩🥺
So how do you like those high gas prices? And high cost of living? What do you like best that Biden has done for this country so far? I would love to hear something 🤣
@@Randy2747 clearly you can’t appreciate Biden Senior on a stage bragging that he withheld billions of dollars from a small country to stop investigating his son and then laugh. His ability to then continue to be installed with bravery and continue to destroy our country is our corner stone of success and must be supported 0r you will be Deplatformed.
Eastern window is perfect for me. I have mine in potting soil and I have to keep repotting because it keeps growing like crazy. I feed it miracle grow with bottled water and then I throw some black coffee in it every 3 weeks. Goes crazy blooming after the coffee! I have a dish under to catch the watering. I water let it sit for an hour then pour the excess liquid out. Then don't water again till it's been bone dry for a few days. Always use bottled water cause my tap water is full of minerals and they don't like it!
It is interesting you mentioned potting soil. I used 1/3 potting soil 1/3 bark and topped it with spagmum moss when I replanted my orchid. It is doing really well.
I am going to make you very jealous. I have lots of lovely Orchids, some are many years old. However I love to always do better with my Orchid growing. I also live in a subtropical climate in Florida, so this helps. Thanks, I love San Jose its a lovely area.
My 2 orchids are seemingly rather happy. I repotted one - Penelope - today. The second - Sid - was rescued from Sainsbury's January this where they had it in a fridge in the stock room and now nearing May it has a stalk full of buds! I don't like the cutting business though - I leave that up to it. I think I should have got rid of more dead roots.. Obviously in its natural habitat, maybe something in the ground would break down those dead roots. I cut back a couple of bits in the process of 2 dodgy bits dying using a sterilised knife, but it's a sharp knife and I had to saw through... I hope I didn't do it any harm. It sucks the nutrients and juices back out and makes new roots, and I think that process is flawless.
I am extremely confusing now. Almost all the sites that I have viewed so far state it very specifically that direct sunlight should be avoided!! I am from South Africa and our temperatures in summer range between 25 - 38 deg Celsius in summer and -7 to 24 deg Celsius in winter. So in our case it would not be advisable to put them in direct sunlight as they will get sun scorched in summer and frost bite in winter. I can assume that putting them in a windowsill with some morning sun makes more sense???
My problem has always been over watering.Now Thanx to the videos, I'm really thinking my media has been all wrong.So back to the drawing board.Ive got 4 plants now.Well see.Till next time peeps.
I bought an orchid right about 2 months ago, it still has flowers, I did not repot it but it kind of looks like one of the roots is turning brown, should I report now or wait till the flowers fall of?
Well, I watched because although my orchid has grown well and flowering again after being repotted 2 years ago, the stem has grown sideways, nearly horizontal, and roots or stems are growing above potting medium and over sides of pot. I thought maybe it needed repotting because of that and was worried that one of the leaves has purple hue on one side. BUT after watching this, looks like my plant is doing ok!! Just not sure what to do about those stems and roots that are getting long?! Haha...the comment at 8:25...;).
I can tell my orchid is crying out for new accomodations, and I was wondering how to properly replant it in a larger pot. I had an orchid that had a dozen blooms - magnificent! Are you in San Jose, CA? I am in Marin. Thanks for showing me how to are for my orchid.
No offense you should keep the subject on gardening and keep the political aspect out just saying and thank you for the information on the orchids it’s much appreciated!
So I bought these orchids at Costco and within a week they were wilting. I Followed your videos, cleaned them up and realize I was way over watering them for the winter in the south east and will also make sure they get more sunlight. My main question is after repotting should I trim off the Bloom stem?
I got a orchid for Mother’s Day and it still alive and doing well it’s just now starting to lose so if you blooms and I was told to keep it out of the sun then I was told that it needs sun it’s in my kitchen window by the sink and it gets the morning sun but when it’s been hot I close the shade for it can’t get any sun but it gets bright light when do I transplant I want to put it into a nicer pot it’s just in Pete Moss now do I wait until the blooms are all gone then transplant ? Please reply back thank you 😊
I live in hot, humid Central Florida. Can I leave my orchid on the back porch when it hits 90 degrees with 90% humidity? The porch gets direct morning sun but by 9:00 am it's burning already. It didn't do well when I had it indoors near the window. My step mother leaves her orchids outside (South Florida) in the winter when it could drop to 50 degrees ... they seem to thrive.

Okay great video but then once transplanted into larger pot what is the appropriate amount of watering?? Thanks 🪴
You remind me of my son. Great video. Really nice and clear explanation. Would have appreciated it more if you left the Trump comment out.
Exactly. His countenance alone gave me the impression he was a Leftist. We know they're generally not happy people.
Thank you for the clear instructions. I’m in uk and my question is would it be ok to put my orchids in my unseated conservatory at night in the summer
Mine is literally in the corner of my living room. Time to replant.
Pretty happy to see new bloom on mine😅
Thank you and now I can repot my orchid
Loved it thank you very helpful indeed 👏😊👍

Can you repot while blooming?

I'm sorry,,but never out your orchids in direct sun. They will wilt.

Anne Mancuso it's both. Yes?! Both are on the bag. Us beginners don't always know botanical/science.....names.✌️💜🌞
Can you use wood chips?
Sunshine or sunlight. Orchids in plain sunshine will kill them or not??? Freddy from Argentina
Do roots need light ?
Can I repot them when they are in bloom?
I have always read that you need special pots with holes, no direct sunlight, what do you believe?
