    I was gifted a phalaenopsis for my birthday last month by my employers and one of them told me she'd long given up trying to care for them; they always died!
    I'd never had any house plants before and never even considered getting one, so the thought of trying to keep this orchid alive was intimidating. This channel has made orchid care feel so simple for even the worst plant owners like myself; I went from total fear of this one orchid dying to feeling like I could turn this into an actual hobby and have a whole bunch of plants! You're great and I appreciate you!!

    fertilizerss going down either the sewer of rainwater system can lead to environmental contamination... used fertilizer is best used on other plants or grass, where the chances of anything spreading is much reduced. Fertilisers have been held responsible for massive algae blooms on corals reefs. Just putting it out there as part of the larger discussion on how to be responsible with our hobby.

      Usually it's not a problem if it's going down the drain because it goes through treatment centers. Runoff from farms into bodies of water is, by far, the main contributor to fertilizer pollution. However, you make a good point when it comes to orchids that are kept outside, as the runoff may not end up in a treatment center 👍🏽

      @@o_o8203 In treatment centers a specific chemical has to be targeted. This is why we see bodies of water that contain wild fish that have antibiotics, caffeine and other chemicals in their systems (from people peeing while on meds, flushing pills, dumping coffee/soda into drain, etc.). Treatment plants don't target these things, therefore they are not sorted out.

    Hi Guys, today I came back from a 4 day trip...I'm a beginner, so my neighbor gave me her dead phalen. plant several weeks ago. So I had no clue how to care for it, so I came here and watched a bunch of MissOrchidGirl videos. I repotted, took off all dead roots, cut off a dead shoot, left the yellow leaf alone and changed the medium and watered the plant..So today upon my return I found the orchid plant had bloomed 2 buds. I am so thrilled to see the blooms. So I will give it a hand at rescuing what appear to be dead plants. I have her outside on a ledge where she get very little morning sun, and is shaded the remainder of the day. I didn't even fertilize her...but need to check this video. That yellow top leaf just dried off by itself and fell off...

Or do you just make enough for each watering? I only have one orchid so making a gallon every time is a waste, where i could just make a gallon and store it for the entire month and use that for each watering. Hope my question makes sense.

    Apologies if you have covered this but when using the slow release fertiliser, do you still regularly fertilise? I'm guessing not, someone has just recently given me some and I thought I may use them for my collection in the shadehouse to save on time, getting lazy in my old age! Cheers

    I really like the suggestion of diluting the recommended amount to a fourth and fertilizing every time you water. When you say to flush on the 5th week, do you only use water that week and resume fertilizing on the 6th week, or do you do a fertilizing soak after the flush on the 5th week?

    My orchid is stressed. Got her about a year ago and all of a sudden she started stressing = root damage and very few good ones. It has no flowers or any sign of any coming.
    I removed dead roots and put it in RO water culture with nutrients☆ because I didn't know what to do but get it out of its pot and remove all dead roots.
    My home is always 71° and very dry.
    ☆ RO water w ferts = [Gal mix] orchid nutrient 1/2"strength, CalMag 1/4 strength, fish/seaweed fertilizer (1/2 t).
    Questions are, how can I stimulate root growth and revitalize the leaves before they are really damaged. Which of the 3 media you show in your beginner series will be best. And what size pot do you recommend.

    Hi Dani. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos. I do have a question though. I bought a full sized phal that was very dehydrated about a week ago. I've repotted and watered, and it's already looking much better and the leaves are almost not limp at all. The question is about the aerial roots. There are plenty of roots in the medium, and they're looking much better. The aerial roots though are still very wrinkled and shriveled. They are most definitely still alive though. Should I be misting or watering the aerial roots regularly too or will they plump back up once the main plant and leaves are ok?

    • @MissOrchidGirl
      @MissOrchidGirl  5 років тому +3

      Hi, it isn't necessary to mist them, the potted roots will hydrate the orchid. But if you want to maintain them alive you could mist them :) here's more on aerial roots ua-cam.com/video/7GGWbBt2SvA/v-deo.html

    Am a total newbie and am so glad to have found your channel (have subbed). I have lost one, my poor son helped and watered the leaves. I have one left and when she has finished flowering (I am so surprised she has about 10 new flowers) I plan to change her to leca with a wick self watering. Can you please tell me how we fertilise if we are using a self waterer with leca. THANK YOU

    I just repotted my orchids in aaa gold imperial mix, which I think u mentioned we shouldn’t soak the pot, need to pour to water it. In this case, do you still flush it every month? I worry it will be too much water considering how much moss it has in this specific type of potting mix. Thank you.

    What you could do to keep the fertilizer from getting damp is place a silica packet in the jar. The silica will absorb the moisture and keep it fresh...

    Question Miss Orchid ?? I bought a Orchid, it came in a big medium size decorative pot. I took some of the medium out and notice there are two clear pots under neath. Like I could have two Orchids when I repot, do you recommend once I repot to have two separate orchids in two repots/two decorative pots or just get two repots and put them both back together in the same decorative pot that I bought it in?? Does it matter regarding the health of the flower for the long haul??

    How soon after removing dead roots (a lot) and repotting my orchids in good medium (monterey dark) should I fertilize them? If I fertilize them too soon will it shock them?

    Very interesting as always ! Do you think you can make a video about signs of nutrients deficiency in orchids ? I am not sure you have in your video list, maybe you do. I think it will be very interesting also to learn how to "read" the deficiencies in these plants and what to do about it, how to fix it.

      Hi, yes I will be making a video at some point, but this subject is a very delicate one and it takes years to conclude something. There is a lot of confusing and wrong information about it already, I don't want to add to it, just want to be sure first. This year I will be making some trials with boosters and supplements and see if they make a difference :)

      @@MissOrchidGirl Thanks, Dani. It is indeed sometimes confusing information out there... I was thinking also about another video subject, some other things that are confusing for me and maybe for others too... the pH and TDS and ppm... what in the world are those things supposed to be right for the orchid types and how do you keep those in balance, and how do you correct, for example, a bucket of water when you made the pH too high or too low ?... I recently bought 2 paph and 2 phragmipediums and I've read/heard on some video's that you have to be very carreful with the pH... it freaks me out that I might kill my slippers ! :/ I watched on some video's how some people do it, but really I don't get it what and how and why !

      Don't over think it, when you start to mess about blindly is when you'll have issues. If you are using bark or sphagnum you most likely don't need to adjust anything ;)

But of course, sometimes it can be deceiveing...one moment they are ok and then , bam, hell breaks loose ! :D I just wish they would grow faster to see indeed what's their situation ! Thanks for the advice, I've learned soooo much from you !

    I do love your videos! So thorough, thank you! I’ve seen someone on UA-cam say to fertilize with a dilution of black tea, then next week with calcium, then next week a marine fertilizer, marphyl, then Epsom salts. Each time soaking 15 minutes. Then repeating this cycle. What do you advise? Is there any validity to this. Her orchids look healthy.

      Hi, I'm not big on diy ferts or hacks of sorts, I use only one fert developed by the Michigan Stats University for the past 4 and a half years or so and the results are what you see in my videos. For me this is good, to each their own 😊

    Can you please make a video about home made fertilizer! I did rice and broccoli, which was soak in water, I used the water from it as fertilizer, I don't know if this is a good thing for orchids.. I found some info about home made ones for orchids online but I don't know if they are true.... so a video about this will help. ;3; We sadly cannot afford this kind of fertilizer all the time, so if there is another way to feed our orchid that be awesome.
