I started my Orchid hobby over 2 years ago purchasing a couple of large Phals from the local supermarket. They have not bloomed at all until now. I believe the reasons are that I did not have them growing in a bright enough spot and watering was inconsistent. 6 months ago I moved them and other subsequent Phals bought to a bright Southern facing window with an opaque curtain so they won't burn. I also provided humidity trays for more consistent moisture. They started spiking in Jan and now they all have very beautiful blooms!
We first started with orchids a few months but were afraid they might be too complicated for us. Several months later, after watching your videos and using repotme products, we are happy to say our 6 orchids are growing far better than we expected .
So glad you were renewed!! I was given 2 orchids over a year ago and thank god I ran across your channel because they were NOT doing well. Now one of them has a flower spike growing and is ready to bloom - the other, I think will need some time to come back from my initial mistakes, but is also doing well. Thank you for all of the helpful information!
Been binge watching you're videos, I've always wanted to get an orchid but been so scared now I feel confident to try and find a good one to start with. With these instructional videos on care I'm hoping I'll do well.
I appreciate the time stamps and additional links. Edit: I just came back from watching one of the additional links. I'm a beginner and it's very informative and easy to understand. I can't wait to order from repotme. Thanks so much! ❤️
This video is so helpful to me, thank you for all the information. I have been collecting orchids for a year and 3 months so I’m starting to get my first rebloom. But some are not blooming . I’m getting there , but I was so excited because my first Vanda made a spike ! It got bigger and bigger & then it just died? I wonder what I did wrong to it . Shame I might have to wait another year . I’m happy to keep trying . This hobby is great. I love that I always can refer back to your help for beginners stuff . And also your twinkle is a showstopper my goodness !
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about orchids. I now understand to be patient with flowering my orchids. They need to recover from bug treatments and repottings!
Great information. I have three Phalenopsis blooming and one keaki just put in its own tiny pot doing well and one rescue Phalenopsis trying it's best🤗😍
Nobile is blooming and booming with LED cheat lamp over an Aquarium close to it... but it did get little moisture in the Fall and what a nice pink and yellow surprise now! Yes! If 2 are blooming out of the orchid crowd, then its a happy time. ❤️😁
What a great channel. I've just started growing orchids (couple of years) and find your videos informative, to the point and fun. Keep going! Best wishes and well done
You are so fabulous, thank you so much! I have three phalaenopsis (spelling?) , none blooming right now, but you have helped me so much, thank you! Lol
Hi Danny🤗 Your orchid blooms, always are so abundantly glorious. 🌸 My Mini Mark has thrown out five flower spikes! Clumsy me broke one😞 Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful orchid & a lot others too. I got myself a Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter today and the scent is gorgeous. Great lesson videos, full of useful info. 🌸🌼🌸❤️
Hi Dani, I live on the coast in Ecuador. The temp never drops as low as you are suggesting to trigger budding. I have phals grown in nurseries in ecuador. I have moved them to an a/c room but the temp only goes down to 22, while the other rooms are at 26. The only other diff is the drop in humidity in the a/c room. What do you suggest? Thanks for your advice.
Hi, I recently read somewhere, that some nurseries use misting and fan in the evening to imitate temperature drop. You should be careful though, your orchid leaves have to be able to fully dry where they attach to the stem to prevent crown rot.
I recieved a den nobile green lantern from Hawaii and I'm in south Dakota. Hawaii is warm and my home is cold. The den I got has a flower. Will it still need a winter rest while in bloom?
Hi Danny! Just writing to say hi and thank you for being here. I just received my first orchid ever (a white phalenopsis) as a gift today, and am really excited but nervous - so it was a relief to find your channel. The only thing I'm still unsure about is placement... my small apartment only has one (very large) west-facing window, but its sill is over a radiator, while the panes get very cold in winter. But I worry that on sitting a desk 2.5 metres away, it'll be way too dark? Is steady light or steady temperature more important, in your experience?
And thank you in advance. I'm sure you get thousands of questions and requests for tips so I won't mind if you can't get to responding. Will just watch some more!
I know you didnt ask me but i have the same problem... I decided to put my orchid in the bathroom because it is often humid in there, like in the rainforest where the oechids normally grow.
I purchased a Paphiopedilum and it had 1 root in the bottom of the pot not attached. It looks pretty healthy except 1 end looks to be dead because it was not in soil. The root is about 5 inches. Is it possible to grow a plant from this? I love your videos they have inspired me so grow orchids. Thank you!
I have 2 phals that were in bloom when I bought them. One never flowered again after given all the ideas but grew 2 basil leaves that are ready to be separated from main plant. The other phal bloomed twice and then this year produced a basil leave. Any suggestions/recommendations to stop producing basils
In case of dendrobium can a flower spike and new growth happen at the same time? Or a new growth means that entire energy is invested in it and no blooming will occur in older canes?
hi. i just find your channel and thanks for the videos. i have a phalaenopsis orchid, it had blooms when i get it two years ago. after that it didn't bloom again. this year i put it in the stairs to feel the autumn (it was about 20 degree celsius. our home was the same!) after a few weeks the leaves start to loosen. then i brought it back to home. the leaves became good and stiff but after few days they start to yellow one by one from the older ones! up to now it lost 3 leaves. i noticed it was in direct sun exposure and put it in a darker place. what else should i do? i'm worry about it and i don't want to lose it. it was a gift from my boyfriend. please help me or address relevant video of your channel. thank you
I am a newby to the orchid world but have always admired their visual beauty. Hopefully, with the guidance and inspiration of the wonderful "MOG", I will be successful with growing my orchids. Stuart, thanks for supporting this channel and MOG, thank you for your wonderful and informative videos.
Hello! I would like to ask about the root. Some have branched out as they do, but there are section of the root that is mushy and clearly dead. On the dead part, the stele has been exposed and not covered by the velamen, but must still be transporting water, as the branch downstream is very much alive. Now, would you cut them down nontheless? I have plenty of roots and generally a healthy orchid. Thank you.
Patient...over 10 years now that i wait my Stanhopea Assidensis to re-bloom, i divided it years ago then i read they don't like this process and may bloom after a long time. But it's over 10 years now he got huge over the years but yeah i'm still waiting for a bloom lol
I’m going to say something outrageous here. Throw it in the trash! Don’t even give it away to some other hopeful person. Move on and make room for something lovely that will bloom for you regularly. We only have room and time for a limited number of plants. Those plants should be ones who give us something back long before 10 years passes. Life is too short! There may be something wrong with the plant and it may never bloom.
Hi thanks for all your derailed information. If your orchid is putting out a new spike and it accidentally broke off from the top of the spike does that mean I have to wait another year for a new spike to bloom. Thanks again.
Hi, I have some some Orchids I have specific question about , can I send you a pic of it or is there a place I can get help with it like posting a pic of it? Thanks
When repotting I found a healthy green root not attached to the orchid. My guess is it broke off. Is there any way to save the root and get it tho grow an orchid?
My orchid bloomed once and has not re-bloom again. I’m totally disappointed. I water the orchid, I’ve moved from direct sunlight, changed the soil and I’m still waiting for it to rebloom. What should I do please?
Hi, I have a Phal that hasn’t grown a spike in almost two years, last bloom was summer 2019. I repotted after, and has otherwise been thriving in the new pot. Lots of new roots, aerial roots, and lots of new leaves, but no spikes or blooms. The only thing I think is that it’s decided to grow/leans sideways (more natural though?). If that’s the reason is it worth trying to wean it back to straight up so that it can push out a bloom? Or do you think this is happening for another reason. Thanks
Hi, nope leaning is absolutely normal and doesn't affect blooming. I think temperature drop, or lack of it, is a more plausible reason, or any of the other reasons in this video 🧡
@@MissOrchidGirl ok thanks! I’m going to be patient a little longer, but I’m going try rotating it slowly to face more light. The leaves face more northwest light. Everything else seems good (I repotted it in fall 2019, and it bloomed last in summer, so I wonder if it’s still recovering)
What if you have a phal. with a flower spike and buds that never open. It continues to produce buds that get bigger but never open, they just fall off?
Danny, is there an orchid which smells like Honeysuckle?... I seem to vaguely remember you mentioning something similar. P.s... just ordered the coconut orchid...and its a MONSTER.... its sooooo big.... the nursery said its a show quality specimen..... i am clearing out an entire setup for it!
@@MissOrchidGirlthank you sooooo much❤ i am scared honestly about the new plant..😅... it was cheap... like 15 dollars...in india stuff are supercheap.... but yeah... its a mini ecosystem....🤣...since i can't show u the picture here.. i am pasting the link to the seller page.... dayazorchidarium.com/product/maxillaria-tenuifolia-2/ Since you are alwayssss so helpful and inspiring in being informative and helping us with our passion..... i am updating the comment with a few links of indian nurseries..... if you can order from Malaysia, then maybeeeee give India a try. We have a brilliant postage system here... and i remember parcel with dhl arriving from India to US ib 3 days. It is also wayyyy cheaper than Europe. Maybe its worth researching more on it and think about giving them a go. Himalayan orchids like cymbidiums are native to this place as far as i know and ill link you to a specialist nursery.

Hi Danni, I have developed an Orchid addiction lol, and I have 13 so far. I have I think Phal’s, I don’t know how to tell or what the names of them so not sure if I am growing them right. How do I tell what kind they are? Is there a video to tell what kind of Orchid I have?
I'm starting to think that one of my phals is just lazy. She receives the same treatments as all others (which all bloomed/are still blooming) and yet, 4 years that I've had her, I've seen no trace of new stems. Just a lot of leaves and active roots. This year I thought to bring her to a even cooler room, but nothing worked.
Well, unless it's a polychilos hybrid or species, I would go as low as 15 C (59 F) for a month! Some hybrids can have some cool grower species herritage and spike at lower temps. Some hybrids even need only 20 C (68 F), but the sweet spot for 99% of them is what I said in the video. There are exceptions though 😉 hope it spikes!
@@MissOrchidGirl she's the classic supermarket hybrid. If it can help, I remember she had little flowers in a color range of white/green/yellow. She stayed in that room for well over a month and during night time temp goes down to even 14 degrees at times. She put out a new leaf (still growing) and that's it. I think she now has something like.. 12 leaves. There's plenty of space for her to bloom! I'm just sad cause she was beautiful and I just want her to give her full potential. I know she's relatively happy cause otherwise she wouldn't grow so many roots and leaves, but still 😭
I’m currently experiencing the same from a phal that I inherited in August 2018. Tons of leaves and roots, no spikes. I have it on my kitchen window sill along with 4 others that spike like crazy, but this particular one is lazy!
