Thank you so much for all of your videos! They have helped me so much! I started out with 1 orchid when I first started watching you, well I have around 40 now! Everytime my hubby goes to Lowes or home Depot he brings me home another orchid, I have also ordered some online, I'm orchid addicted! Lol! My orchids are thriving thanks to you! I cannot thank you enough!

[@paulineclark2630]

I now understand what is going on with my orchids. I started misting them but they all got sick. I knew it must've been the misting but didn't understand why. Thank you

[@lindagrohmann3022]

I have only had one case of crown rot over the years, on my Phal. Jiaho's Pink Girl, used your method and today my sister and I are both enjoying the keikis of that poor phal. So my success rate with your method is 100%, I'm really glad I discovered it back then in one of your older videos 😊

Once a month I disinfect my babies (Phalaenopsis)… which means I sanitize the roots, medium, and the foliage. After I’m done, i’ll wipe off any excess water, dab the crowns with a Q-tip, and for added extra measure, I’ll take a paper towels and cut it up into very small triangles that I can slip into the crown of my plants. I have OCD 🤣 but in the case of my plants it’s a good thing.

Dear Danny, I hope you are doing well. I bought a violacea 2 months ago and sadly she came with crown rot. I sprayed only with hydrogen peroxide twice within a week and it looks like the infection stopped. Fingers crossed... thank you for all of your informations Danny, without you I Would have definitely lost many of my orchids...kisses and hugs from Greece

[@aida087]

GORGEOUS Orchids Danny! I've used cinnamon for crown rot since learning it from you and it saves my Phals everytime!! And the peroxide tip is another great tip!!❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mogo5555]

I just lost a vanda to stem rot, but this gave me some tips to hopefully prevent in the future like pay attention when top leaves to drop. Thanks for all your useful videos.

[@davchow8124]

Thank you for talking about this subject. It is how I lost half of Mum orchids collection from crown rot. Now that I know the reason why from your show the rest of her orchids are doing well. Thank you, thank you.🙏🙏

[@mirandam8021]

Thank you so much! Have watched your videos for years now. I wouldn’t be able to have the orchid collection I have without you!

[@yvesc.3181]

I ♥ the colours of that Phal gigantea

[@txpepper]

Cinnamon powder, if fresh, also contains a certain amount of oil which also helps to repel moisture.

[@ricardocaliman2830]

excellent presentation, Thank you!
Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope I never need this advise ❤

[@HealthyBodyBySophie]

This is a gorgeous orchid. I love the colors.

[@Hitome315]

I use a pump air dust cleaner from my succulent tool kit if I get water anywhere I don't want on my mini orchid.

[@maricarol85]

Great idea!

[@aida087]

That's weird Danny because in all my Phals that were saved from crown rot, a new leaf did grow from that same point.

[@user-dc8qq7sf8w]

thank you kind lady for this help, i hope it will save my baby. i know i have been neglecting care and i wont do it again!

[@christinebrierley2290]

Hi I'm ashamed to say I have 2 plants with the rot. My fault! So I've just tried the 3% hydrogen peroxide from Amazon plus the cinnamon. I'll let you know if they survive.

[@jessicadeluna6484]

Did it work?

[@urhvrncfun6682]

I had a crown rot orchid and I did save it from crown rot then after a like couple of months it grew new 2 leaves from crown rot in the middle I don’t know if it is rare.

[@florencekalma5629]

Great information Dani! Thank you for sharing!

[@korinasherman8576]

I have a orchid with a spot on the side that slightly resembles crown rot and the roots and looking to be drying up from the base out, what should I do? I used hydrogen peroxide and it bubbles and fizzles, should I cut the roots off that look to be shriveled? Leaves are also turning yellow one at a time from bottom to top. HELP 😭

[@tomasck2973]

If only I had this a year ago when I lost my P. Chiada Francis 😔

[@trishsmith2811]

Yesterday I received a Bellina Phal. From an orchid dealer. It has crown rot. :.( the top leaf fell off and the remaining two leaves are rotted where they attach to the stem. All but two roots are completely dead. It’s a young orchid. I will try your method and hope for the best. Should I water or not water it? I put it back in bark. Thank you for all your information!

[@michellecastro2475]

Hi Danny. I believe this is what happened to my orchid. I've done the cinnamon trick. My leaves are dehydrated. What can I do to rehydrate and encourage her recovery.. originally she had gnats twice after I repotted her twice in bark now she is in lecca. Love your videos.

[@shirleyholt898]

Thanks for great information. 🤗👏

[@ClaiCesar]

My Phals are living in my veranda. Where its warm and there is a lot of air movement. But some of them still get crown rot. I cant really completely avoid watering the top of the orchid. Water still get on the top espcially when we have heavy rains that the wind blow in the veranda.

[@ryanmetzler2211]

lol if I see that ONE SINGLE water droplet fall onto the leave right into the crown I immediately put the orchid in front of a fan and dry it for at least an hour or so. Cannot take ANY chances!!!

[@joannpadro-alvarado839]

Ive tried to save three phals following your advice I cleaned away old roots and media, repotted with repotme media and I think one of them went into shock - all 4 remaining leaves turned yellow as did the stem - I took it out of the new pot and media and found the only remaining 2 roots it had were gone as well- all I am left with a the yellowed stem that I’ve placed loosely into a pot with damp, uncompacted spag- no green stem or roots - is it even possible it could survive at this point or is it gone

[@samanthacee8278]

My pink diamond suddenly lost the newest leaf so right away I added cinnamon and I took it out the bark and found it had many rotted roots (I had just repotted it about a week ago) I’m wondering what could’ve happened? I always make sure to not leave water in the crown and it looked completely healthy when I first repotted it. Also will it continue to grow new leaves from the top?

[@cherylpenn4509]

I love that orchid.... oh wow... Bonnie Vasquez

[@stephaniestewart9396]

Lost my variegated phalaenopsis to "stem" rot after I repotted it. So sad.. 😢

[@peak_of_eternal_light_moon]

thank you so much for this video! what should I do if the top leaf is yellow and drying up? should I cut it or let it dry up?

[@twistedelegance_]

I used baby wipes (they have some Castrol oil) on my "dying" leaves that were floppy and yellowing and now they're back to normal all of a sudden lol I just decided to give it a go, figured it won't hurt them.

[@mohammadzayd4281]

Hi Danny,can i grow vandas and cattleya orchids in North facing balcony (outside whole year) which gets an hour of direct sunlight but just for 2 months of the year.one more person is growing dendrobiums in the same type of condition.here by vandas i am referring to rhyncostylis and aerides
And there hybrids

[@ldirk58601]

Something ate the new leaves coming from the crown of my orchid. I suspect my cat although in eleven years he has never done that. Will it die now? Ive spent a whole year bringing this orchid back to health and life. The two flowers it had died right after the crown was eaten.

[@ericjenkins5815]

Loved the video! What is the hybrid that is on screen at 7:00?

[@HealthyBodyBySophie]

Where is your video to treat an orchid that lost 😞 its last leaf? Well It fell after I removed the hard and dry bits that were left at the crown or near it below the last leaf. 😔
One of my orchid is now leafless; but I am not throwing this one out as it does have some healthy roots (a minimum of 4 healthy roots). I took it out of the pot and it is now in a basinet with just damp medium underneath; but the root is exposed to the air and I do have one of my grow lamp about 6 feet above it and I also have my Dyson humidifier going in the orchids directly 3 feet across from Them.
Thank you for your feed back.

[@mayastoyanova3020]

Bonnie Vasquez is sooo very beautiful. 🥰One day I will have it

[@sunshinenani1662]

My daughter brought me an Phalneopsis orchid that had a beautiful flowering spike, but she didn't think the orchid would actually survive, but thought the bloom would cheer me. It had a couple leaves and one of those fell off right away. So then just one leaf...then it sent out two more very tiny (I mean tiny) leaves I repotted it with a bark mix for orchids and I cut off dead roots, there weren't a whole lot. and the 2 aerial roots were dried up. (I have been feeding it) with a fertilizer recommended by an orchid grower friend. If I could send you a picture I would, but by what I have told you, do you think it is possible to save it? It has not been a real long time... maybe three months...

[@user-fp7qp6cf4o]

I noticed my orchid had crown rot. It lost all of its leaves they were still green and hard when falling off. I sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide and did the cinnamon but it was after the last leaf fell off. It still had good green roots though. Will it come back or is it definitely going to die since it has no leaves?

[@rosestines66]

That’s what I forgot to use for my orchids but how much do I need if the peroxide n water if the peroxide is more than 3% n plus I always made sure that I raised the leaves up while watering them so I didn’t get water in the crown 😮

[@annasidorova2047]

🥰 какая красота!

[@angelaunger1935]

Do you have any experience with cactus orchids? My grandmother gifted me hers and I do not want to kill it. If you do, could you possibly tell me what video to watch? Thank you so much for making all these videos!

[@sophiemo7278]

Dear Danny, I repotted recently an orchid with a bad case of crown rot, now that it is obvious to me that the orchid can't be rescue I wonder if the media is spoil or if I can reuse it. Does someone knows?

[@pelicanformation3802]

totally weird comment here: I had an orchid where the leaves all started to mush up and it had the most bizzare smell of fermenting pears. it was a very sweet smell.

[@cassidytresidder6386]

Love love your channel, very informative. What size fir bark do you use?

[@geoffreybabson3889]

HELP ME!
I have such a problem with mealie bug on my phalaenopsis orchids.
I've tried soapy water, diluted bleach w/water and commercial insecticide. Nothing is working. Do you have advice?
Thank you so much,
Geoffrey
PS - love your videos. Very informative.

Where did you get your "Perfect Day" T-Shirt? So cute.

[@penelopestuart3192]

Would you know the name of the phalenopsis that has small, pink dots on a white background?

[@kendravoracek3636]

💚💚

[@chipmcg7766]

Would that work for African Violets to treat root rot?

[@JessicaLeese]

Love that Orchid at 16:49. What is the name of that orchid?

[@suelicunha2893]

Boa tarde. O que você faz pra esta folha brilhar?

[@melaniefrancis48]

Would you recommend this as a preventative? My local big box store top waters everything, even their orchids. They don't care that this will be setting in crown rot. I don't buy orchids from here, but now I wonder about other places where I haven't witnessed it happen. Maybe using cinnamon on newly purchased orchids could help?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, definitely not!! Don't touch that crown just keep it dry! 😁

[@melaniefrancis48]

@@MissOrchidGirl OK, great to know. Thank you for getting back to me.
Luckily, I live in the Netherlands, so I'm not reliant on the kinds of places that water from the top. It does make me cross though, as it seems like such a waste and there must be loads of people who think they're terrible at growing orchids, but it's not their fault if these orchids come with crown rot.

[@andreatrubody6309]

Loved this video. I am a beginner orchid grower and spend hours watching your videos. I am growing my orchids on the patio as we have no room in the house . Here in Brisbane in winter we can temps of 5-7 degrees Celsius overnight . We are renting and can’t build anything in the house . What would you suggest to keep the temp up fir them?

[@thadathilvlog]
