- I meant this to be a 'quick' video but somehow it grew to 40+ minutes. I take a look at each of my 22 Phalaenopsis orchids. I apologize for the length of the video but I'm just naturally chatty so the dialogue kind of got away from me. Hope you enjoy.
What a beautiful collection! Thank you so much for sharing. I feel more confident now after viewing what your plants are doing and how happy they are.
I am pleased if this helped you, thank you for watching!
Ohhhhj, I am so sorry for your little pit puppy. Poor baby.
thank you nice to see your up dates i always enjoy watching your growings in WC waiting for the new blooms ☺. good idea to stop by in nurseries when you come back that s an exiting programm 👍
Sophie Khajadour thank you! I am already excited about the trip but now I have something else to look forward to!
@@daniellesorchidranch1591 enjoy and show us your new girls ☺ hope you ll find beautifulles. i hope your dog will récover soon.
........chatty with you is a good thing.....your great speaking on camera..and orchid collection is beautiful......22 phals, ...wow, ..to me.......they can be harder to grow, than other orchids ........start adding calmag and some kelp seaweed to your water and the "F" issues will disappear.....99% of the time root loss is due to lack of calcium .........remember every single cell has to have calcium.....every tiny bit of leaf, bulb, cane, flower spike, and root......is made of cell walls with calcium...when they run out of calcium.......they stop growing......roots die back, new growths die back.....flower spikes die back....plants will stall, ...just sit there....leaves will be twisted and stunted.....I feed 18-20% calcium......and still spray with calmag.........you can never give them to much calcium....
Rick L. Orchids thanks Rick! I have been giving them a pretty high dose of my Cal/Nitrate mix this summer and although most have responded well about half of my Cattleya have not. I do have Cal/mag so I will have to try doing that. Do you add it to your fertilizer or do a separate feed with just the Cal/mag?
Rick L. Orchids
Hi Rick, I am new to water culture and trying to combine the right nutrients for my phals. I also follow Danielle’s videos. Can I use cal/mag, a pinch of epsom salt with SuperThrive for my orchids that are dehydrated and lacking roots?
Thank you for sharing your wonderful orchids with us the viewer . I have learned how to care for phal in water culture thanks to you......👍💗💖👍Congratulations on the 22 phal 💗💖🌸
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Dylan Ryan Instablaster :)
@Darwin Idris Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Darwin Idris It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Dylan Ryan Glad I could help =)
Very informative video. Very tempted to try one or two in WC thanks to your videos! As a side note, when my pups have had surgeries and needed cones for a short time, we bought the soft padded ones at pet store. They didn't mind those as much.
Bernie A. I have seen those cones at my Vet office. She had to have emergency surgery at the 24 hour vet so they only had the hard plastic ones. Sutures should be coming out this Friday so poor thing only has a few days left with that come.
I discovered your channel recently. My orchid is on its last leg so water culture would be the last step before I give up on her. I did get a new phal so I understand the obsession
I hope your plant responds well and you are able to save it!
24:05 One more thing... I started adding 1/4 tsp epsom/gal fert water bc I had some phals & catts w/ purpling or decreased vigor and it helped tremendously. It was magnesium deficiency (which oddly I never experienced in 13 years til this year). Maintenance is 1/8-1/4 tsp but...I did a couple initial treatment doses as 1/2 tsp (I've even heard of mega doses as 1 tsp). Sue Bottom has written a lot about this topic in orchid publications online.
I will try for my orchid at home, thanks for sharing😊
Thank you for the very informative video on your water culture orchids. At one point I did have all of mine in water culture. Some of them started having the same issues that yours are having, not looking like they should, just not thriving, no new leaves or roots, etc. Then when I was watching the Orchid Whisperer she was saying that some of her orchids in water culture we're doing those exact same things. That is when she said that some orchids do better in different mediums. So after a couple years I have transitioned most of the orchids over to New Zealand Orchid sphagnum moss oss, then I go by her fertilizing tactic of 20 drops of Cal Mag and a pinch of Epsom salts in a gallon of water while they are growing. Sometimes I sprinkle organic lime on the top Maybe three times a year. She also has a recipe for when they are in spike and blooming. I have followed these regimens and they are doing fantastic! If you wanted to keep yours in the water culture you can try her recipes by watching her videos, on some of your orchids that just don't seem to be thriving like they should. Maybe try it on one you're not so attached to first LOL. Again I really enjoyed your videos!
Great video thank you. I really learned how to grow in FWC bc of you so keep up the great work. So helpful bc I am also in NY and have similar environmental limitations. I would love type specific videos esp oncidium types as I just inherited 2! Also maybe a Frisarium (sp) 101 type video ( what I it how to spot, treat etc) would be helpful. Also when and how it’s useful to trim the end tip of the orchid (I forgot what the very tip is called. I’m talking about the end nub closest to the water 😬) thank you!
Beautiful!! ♥️
At a certain point we get more selective. Wonderful idea bringing the orchids on the way from Florida, that is what I would do too. Nice work you have been doing with your Phals. I gave up on wc, too much work having to clean the vases to get rid of the algae, now I changed to semihydro. Loved your video although big hybrid Phals are not my favourite.
Hope your dog will get better soon, that cone is so uncomfortable. I have 2 german sheppards and a cat as well as a bunch of fish in the pond, lizzards and toads around my yard😊
Fernanda Nascimento orchids & succulents nice to meet a fellow animal lover! Thank you so much for watching!
i ,ea e in Florida Keys
very nice video
I'm so glad you showed this video. I've been under the impression that I should cut off any root from the area where mushiness occurs, so I've been cutting off more than I should have. Should I spray with hydrogen peroxide (the mushy root section after I've removed that area?)
Nice video. I have a bunch of phals but only one in water culture.. and it is doing great! Started off with basically no roots and now growing roots like crazy. Makes me think I should do them all in water culture. I'm just nervous about it! Some of the phals I have are a few years old.
Garnet16 I only started water culture because I couldn't keep them alive in bark. If you have a method that works for you and your plants are happy perhaps don't switch them all over to WC. I do love seeing that root growth though! You don't really get to see much of that growing in media!
thanks so much!
Excellent water culture video Danielle!😊 AND wow your The ONLY person I know who’s able to grow a phal schilleriana in water culture! I recently asked if anyone had had any success growing them on the ‘water culture and general care’ Facebook page and got no takers. Helen who has literally hundreds of orchids in water culture said after 2 years she’s had to move hers into moss. Mine just stalled 100% and unlike my other phals didn’t pick up at all after a year, she just continued to decline.
Chris Trinder thanks, hopefully she continues to enjoy water culture, her leaf grew and she got new roots so all signs look good. She was a pretty sorry looking plant when I got her so I guess she could really only improve. The real test will be if she gets a new leaf. 🤞 I will post any changes to keep you updated.
Wonderful, I’ll look forward to seeing your updates on her Danielle, great news thank you👍😊
You should visit rainbeau orchids in Alpharetta GA
Evening Danielle i have my first orchid. The roots are not great. But its comming on. Must the roots touch the water. Why do you cover some of your orchids at the bottom. And i saw you also have marbles at the bottom of your plants. Is it to keep the roots moist?. Please help Rua Boshoff South Africa
Hi Danielle, have you tried cal-mag and a tiny pinch of Epsom salts. I do a pinch of Epsom salts and 20 drops of cal-mag in a gallon of water. For my phalaenopsis orchids. That has really worked for me on my leaves and root growth tremendously. I only have 13 phalaenopsis orchids. I don't have any other types of orchids as of yet. I live in Michigan. I use the cal-mag and Epsom salts every other watering and my MSU fertilizer that I purchase from repotme.com. Then flush them out once a month thoroughly. My waterings are actually a soak in the sink for 10 minutes
Roxanne Parker I actually habe cal/mag and Epsom salt but I've never actually used them although I always plan to. Overall I am very happy with my root and leaf growth except with a few of my rescue Phalaenopsis so perhaps I will use it for them.
What is MSU fertilizer.TIA
Sandra Lea Melendez MSU fertilizer is a type of fertilizer developed by Michigan State University. It is a well balanced nutrient fertilizer that many orchid growers prefer.
Roxanne Parker
Hi Roxanne do you do water culture?
Where do you find the food to feed our Orchids? We live in a rural countryside which does not have much .
Danielle I’m having a very difficult time with my orchids and I don’t know what to do with them each right when it comes out it grows for a little while and then the end of it the tip starts turning black I don’t know what’s the problem if you have any suggestions I have been doing water culture for a year in April was my first Orchid I have 27 now If you can make a suggestion on what to do I would appreciate it you do a great job in recording and I agree you’re good pets animals are really important
My local Safeway flower corner has Miltonias in addition to mini Phals and regular Phals. But I am not brave enough to deal with Miltonias. Plus they are not cheap.
Sirene 74 I have one Miltonia and 2 Miltoniopsis and although they are alive I wouldn't say they are doing great. It's so difficult to give them the environment they require.
@@daniellesorchidranch1591 I have been enjoying watching all of your videos from the very start of the channel. You've taught me so much. Thank you for sharing your experience!!! As for me, I will try to keep my mini Phals alive till the day I go back home to Qatar. If they can make it with me here in the States, they will survive there too. It's so hot there, but they are going to stay indoors, so no worries. Just want to find out which media works best for me and for my babies! Good luck to you with Miltoniopsis and Miltonias (they are so beautuful!), hope to see them in full bloom in one of your videos!
I also would like to know do you put your orchids in any of the pots that come from the store
How do l keep Mealy Bugs and Scale off my Phalonopsis Orchids. They keep coming back.
Me buying orchids sound like..
Orchids Come home with me and die😭😭😭 i got 4x phalaenopsis

After watching some of your video i convert them to water culture so finger crossed i can save my 2x orchid left.
