Orchids with brown roots - Not always root rot!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2018
- Today we talk about brown roots on orchid, either patches, ether stains, what do they all mean? Are all a sign of root rot?
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
There are a few cases in which orchids can have brown patches on their roots, or even get completely brown roots!
1. Natural coloration, such as in the cases of slipper orchids, Maxillarias and others. Phalaenopsis typically have silver roots.
2. Tannin staining from bark chips or coconut husk. Coconut does stain the roots more than any other media, in my experience.
3. Salt accumulations which damage the roots. They can come from hard water, over fertilization, no flushing and so on. Here is how I like to flush out the salts from my orchid pots • How and why I flush my...
4. Root rot, which can be caused by compacted and suffocating media, damaged roots and other ailments. They look the same, but the cause can greatly vary.

Thank you so much for this video! My orchid roots have brown patches, but otherwise seem healthy, so I knew they have not died. However, I couldn't find any other explanation for partially brown roots. Now I know that salt burn is the culprit. I have been watering my orchid from the tap and fertilizing it frequently, so I will try fertilizing less and watering it with distilled/rain water to see if they improve. Thanks again! :)
What should I do if my phala orchid has dried out roots on top and the bottom half is green
I am collecting many orchids and your videos help so much!! I’m new to this and learning thanks to you!!
This is helpful! I have phalaenopsis, vanda, and dendrobiums, and my dendrobiums in coconut husks have roots that are turning brown, but aren't mushy. Thanks!
Is there something you can do about salts/calcium deposits on phal roots or the velamen is compromised forever? Thanks!
Hello MissOrchidGirl. I have a small collection of "phal's" donated by guests to the school where I work. A few of the plants have some pretty obvious root problems. I appreciate this video as I was wondering how to address the problem. This post provides some different approaches that I can follow. Thank you.
Ah, yes, the salt burns. Whenever I see orchids I want to buy (in the supermarket, or flower stores) and I check the roots... sssoooo many salt burns x-x
Hi. I would like some advice on my Dendrobium Nobile please!! I bought it about 4 years ago, it was potted in soil and grew so much I re-potted it in soil in a larger pot. Again it was doing great and grew plenty of shoots however I decided to post some questions on a plant forum and a US 'professor' advised me to immediately take it out of the soil as it would suffocate the roots and die..I did just that and repotted it in 'dendrobium medium' bouught online and it immediately developed stem rot and it is not looking very sick..I cut off and disinfected the sick shoots. I cut off most of the roots as they had all rotten...now is has 4 healthy stalks and only 3 leaves...two without any. I have placed it in Sphagnum moss following your ICU advice and noticed it is growing a small keiki from the bottom. Can the leafless shoots grow back leaves? How long does it take for new roots to appear on the mature shoots?
I just purchased 2 phalaenopsis orchids from Target. The roots are a pretty green but some of them have small brown/black spots on them. Wondering if I should be concerned? Also the one orchids flowers look wilty ever since I've brought it home. Normally in the past only 1 or 2 flowers wilt at a time, not all. Just looking for some guidance!
Thsi comment is V old but just in case other people see it, orchids wilting a lightly and dropping buds and flowers right after you buy them is actually normal. Your house probably has different humidity and light conditions than the store, so the plant initially freaks out. It'll recover
Hello, Danny. Thanks for the very informative channel fir orchid growing! I am now starting to take care for obe oncidium Colmanara painter tropic jungle orchid and she is in great risk. The entire root sistem was suffocated in the media, it was rotting and all 8 pseudobulbs are veru very shrivled. I separated one smaller pseudobulb with a new growth, the bigger part doesn't seem to have any healthy roots. This ia my first rescue orchid and I wish it will be rescued. Thank you for the help. Your channel is amazing! Much love from Bulgaria.
I am dealing with ice damage on the roots. Ugh.Thanks for all your informative videos.
Hi Miss Orchid girl! I have Phalaenopsis orchid with new blooms. Roots are healthy looking at top but at bottom starting to look brown at the base.
I love my orchid. Maybe I should repot it. I am using Organic orchid mix. The blooms are beautiful. I got so excited when I had 3 buds ~ then blooms.
However these roots bother me. I looked at your You Tube videos trying to find out what is wrong. Not clear. Thank you I enjoy your videos. Very helpful!
So i have one phalaenopsis orchid that grew a 5-7cm long stem without any buds and just a keiki coming directly from the tip. The keiki is now about the same size as the mother plant, is healty, has roots etc. Should it be removed or should I let it be?

Can orchids have a happy life without any fertilisers? I've had all of my orchids for 3-4 years and all seem to be doing good with normal tap water without anything added but I still feel kinda bad- (all of them ale phalaenopsis orchids)
Hi, keikis can be removed, or left on if the mother plant doesn't show signs of stress. Fertilizers contain nutrients that all plants need to florish, like any living thing they need to feed too. Orchids have slow growth and deficiencies are slow to appear too. Fewer flowers than normal, smaller leaves, weaker stems, less defence against pathogens, these are early signs. 4-5 flowers on a mature complex hybrid Phalaenopsis, for example, is in most cases a sign of stress. They produce much more than that under normal circumstances. Ultimately discolorations and unsightly patches will appear and the orchid will become extremely weak. Google plant nutrition to see what every nutrient is used for by plants :)
@@MissOrchidGirl
Thank you for your answer! After I do all my research I will of course go and see what I can do for my plants and hope that they'll get better and not worse in any way
@@MissOrchidGirl my phal also grew a keiki directly from the tip of a stem no flower buds or anything. Its almost as big as the mother plant BUT NO SIGNS OF ROOTS. How do I promote root growth or why isint it growing any roots???
@@gemini0808
Try placing some spaghnum moss or moist cotton around the root producing area of the keiki . It moght work
i recently went to replant my catasetum orchid and there was styrofoam at the bottom. Im wondering if this is safe for the orchid.
Hi, what is the name of the medium you used in the video that is orange? Under the white rocks?
Today I found Catleyas on grocery store! There where pinkish and dark red flowers. But I'm not big fan of larger orchids, I like smaller orchids, and those where pretty big. Is there smaller, even miniature Catleyas?
Oh oml btw this is my first time commenting under ur vids but they're all good and helpful I binge watch many of them every day ever since I discovered this channel- be blessed
Thank you so much for your video..i was looking for one like this yesterday..
This is good video many of my old phalaenopsis have them x
My orchid has one leaf. It’s turning yellow and has raise brown spots over it. What should I do? I’ve already re potted it following your video instructions.
Don't forget the lovely, brown Lycaste roots! ;-)
Cyntilla
Don’t forget about the cymbidium cause healthy roots are brown or light brown
I brought a mini phal less than a month ago, first time watered today and there are roots that are soft brown and 1 root with a black tip and soft also... Thoughts?
I’m lost my phalanx store bought and all roots are dead I have 8 phalanx and 4 vanda seedlings how long is this root rot process it seems I should get a fan more circulation cuz7 days go by and their still wet under grow lights yikes that’s scary and my vandas are hanging no medium should I pot them their babies but scared of root rot I’m the root rot queen orchid killer help me
How can you correct salt burn other than changing the water? Should I also cit the roots?
Hi Dani, I have phalaenopsis orchids I repotid it just recently but I think roots are becoming mashy. Is it ok to repot it again and try another media?
When I water my dendrobium orchids, the roots turn brownish red from white color. What does it mean?
Poor Phil my phaleonopsis orchid was a bit dehydrated a d sad so I tried soaking his roots in warm (not hot) black tea and not the roots are going black and falling off! I quickly put him back to air and a tiny bit of water in the bottom of the pot. Have I murdered my orchid? :( I was just trying to encourage his roots to grow!
Hello, I just learned from this video that I have salt burns occurring on some of my orchids. Does anyone know if it can be fixed or does it look like this forever? Is it proper to cut the damaged roots? The orchids that have this look fine and healthy but the roots are quite unsightly on some of them.
Don’t forget some coelogynes because they have fuzzy roots which can easily stain and can be naturally brown.
CAN U DO A VIDEO OF KEIKIS WITH NO ROOTS? And how to separate basal keikis from the mother plant???
Hi, I will do a more elaborate video on keikis soon, for now here is an older video with removing a basal keiki, hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/sIWxb3Lo3xM/v-deo.html
@@MissOrchidGirl Thank you so much!
how to have media at root level if leaf is below root?
Where can I get those clear plastic pots with the holes in a vertical line?
So should you avoid medium that has coconut husks/fibres in it, or should you do something to it first like wash it? I just bought some which is "Composed of graded bark, blended with coconut fibre chips of several sizes" Is this okay?

I have an orchid with brown roots and they are very stiff. Some roots have brown tough roots and then new healthy roots after the brown ones. What do i cut off?
Hello paola devalle! I am no expert by far but maybe I can help. I have had a orchid a little while. Brown roots don't always mean root rot. It could mean overwatering and lack of air the roots turn brown. I also have some brown roots but they are firm. So I leave them. However, the brown roots that are mushy and soft are dead and need to be removed. Sometimes I cut to the heathy grow when the whole root isn't dead. I hope this helps. Water less and look for signs of time to water she mentioned in the video. Many blessing to your orchid baby.
Hello Denny!
First, I want to thank you for a great You Tube show. I love it!
I have a question for you. I just got a cute phalaenopses orchid. It looks very healthy except some of the roots, which are nice and green have very faint small brownish spots all over. Kind of like if you were to paint them with water color. Should I be concerned? The plant is in bloom now so I don't know if I should repot it. The medium it has now is some kind of moss. I would love to send you some pictures but I don't know how to go about it. Thank you.
hey danny ! have you ever experienced with vandas a healthy root that is actively growing that catches a fungi and starts to turn yellow, stops growing and dies? i'm not going to go on and on about it but my vanda is going through this! but most of its roots are covered in algae and on the dry side and it has one really green root until now that it!! i think it will seriously be set back and secretly i think i know how the fungi got there , not enough air circulation, so time for wooden baskets for me too!! xoxoL.
My question is why do people use female pronouns for orchids?
Because people might have Latin native languages, or Greek, or maybe even others, in which nouns have genders from a grammatical point of view.. so it's more natural for us to speak that way :) orchid as a word is female in at least one Latin language, orchid names might be male or female.
@@MissOrchidGirl Cool! Thanks for teaching me about orchids! I have 3 phalaenopsis that I got 2 months ago, each a day apart. I got the first one then a day later started looking around at other stores and found 2 more that I fell in love with but bought 1 of, then the next day I went back after deciding I couldnt live without that other one as well.
Thank you Dani for that explanation I always wondered
