    I love all your videos and have learned so much. I inherited about 8 from my daughter (she loved orchids) when she recently passed. I am eager to learn so I can take good care of her babies. I did follow your advice and repotted many with RePotme products that you recommended. It was fun actually. Thanks for all your help.

    Hi! You probably won’t see this but I had to share: I bought an orchid online because it reminded me of you. It’s in its first blooming ever and it’s a beauty. It’s an Oncidium Cholita Cuencana from Ecuagenera. It’s my only red orchid and now I think I’ll have to get more. It’s all your fault! Thank you for teaching and inspiring me!

    I live in Minnesota in the U.S. and just got a mini for my bday. I repotted it in a moss mixture from repot, cut off alot of bad roots, cut off the flower stem and it's doing fantastic. It's growing new roots and new top leaves. I have it in my north facing kitchen window. So glad I found your YT channel!

    The content in your videos is invaluable! Thank you so much for sharing. I was given a sad and tired orchid, I've never had one before and because of your videos, she has a new leaf growing and despite having a couple of broken leaves😢 they hare now stronger and shiny and healthy looking. I've watched so many of your videos now and I'm loving being an orchid mom! My hubby bought me a mini too and she's doing great!

    One of my phals flowered from Jan to mid-April. As soon as the flowers were spent, I cut the spike completely, wanting to give it a chance to grow vegetatively now as Danny recomme ded. But, in early May, it started putting out a brand new spike!🤣😆 It's growing the buds by now.
    I left this one on... If it wants to flower this bad, then it must feel like it has enough energy. And I'd feel bad abt cutting it😅

    I cut them down to a couple of nodes, and then peel back the vellum from the node and put some keiki paste on it. Sometimes I get a keiki (I have two that do this nearly every time). The others either produce a spike or just nothing. It’s always a crapshoot.

    I just recently came across your videos. I’m so glad I did. For Mother’s Day my granddaughter gave me what I thought was a mini orchid but I think it is a micro mini. The leaves are very healthy and the flowers have just recently fallen off. My question is do micro minis stay small or do I need to repot and when will I know. Thanks for your time. Your videos are wonderful. 21:42

    Thank you so much for all the information in your videos. I'm hooked. I received 2 phals as a gift just over a year ago and this is when I found your channel. They have since bloomed, and I now I also have a happy little tolumnia, a struggling catleya, another catleya, a struggling miltoniopsis that just bloomed- I don't expect it to survive ( I moved it 1800 miles with me), a new milt, and I just ordered 2 more tolumnias, my first oncidium, and a catleya. 😬 Hooked. Anyway, thank you. I love my orchids.

    I prefer to cut my flower spikes as well. Saving up energy for a fancier show. I recently started buying some novelty and species orchids but now I don't know what to cut and what not to because some are sequential blooming and I don't know which.

    • @jhndr0nia
      @jhndr0nia Рік тому

      I wouldn‘t cut them if they are still green since their genetic isn‘t as messed up as in hybrids. Rule of thumb: Polychilus types are sequencial bloomers

    Hi Danni, I absolutely love your channel! I’ve been watching your videos for a while (since last year when I started my collection) and I’ve been taking care of my orchids all summer (I’m in Australia). It’s now winter and I’m getting my very first flower spikes! I’m so excited!
    I wanted to ask- is there such thing as TOO many basal keikis? I’ve got a mini phal I bought from a nursery last year, it had a double spike. I cut the spikes off, and it was going so well it decided to sprout FIVE basal keikis. From what I can see, all the mother plant’s leaves have fallen off. They all are going very well, I just wanted to know if you had seen this before.

  • @alan30189
    @alan30189 Рік тому

    Good advice. One thing I do, is, not water my any of my plants with tapwater, unless it’s filtered. Tap contains chemicals in it that can kill microbes in the soil, which can be beneficial to your plant. I actually use rainwater to water the roots and mist aerial roots with filtered water.

    Thanks Danni. I really love your content. I liked what you said about fertlizers. Living in the EU as you, do you or anyone know if it`s legal to import the MSU fertilizer from rePotme or if there are quality alternatives in the EU to use with RO water?

  • @ramiljuarez149

    Hi Danny! Do orchids need to fertilize weekly as some fertlizer instruction suggests or every time you need to water them?

  • @solarwinds-
    @solarwinds- Рік тому

    Hi Danny, How do you fertilize one (1) orchid? There are instructions to add 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water but, I have one (1) mini phal in a 3 inch pot. It's hard to measure the correct amount of fertilizer for such a small orchid. The mixture stinks after just 2 days. Thanks Danny for your help.

    Question, how do you manage watering if you have been given multiple mini phal in glas bowl? They look so beautiful, I have had them for 2 years they flower, but I have lost 2 plants of the 5 and I will repot them after their flower show as they have just started pushing new spikes. Any advice?

    Hi Danny, been a fan a while now. I’ve been ordering from repot me. The only thing about the website I don’t like is that there is not enough information on which potting mixes and why to use them on any particular orchid. For instance, I have the phal gold. AAA. Why is that better than the dark? Can you help clarify that?

    @abbieoertel4374 5 місяців тому

    I received a mini orchid as an early valentines gift and sadly one of the middle leaves has been damaged very close to the base and started to tear. I put a little cinnamon on the “cut” and left the leaf attached. I am now worried that some cinnamon has gotten on one of the flower spikes and one of the roots. I see some black spots around the effected leaf and another spot on the base of the orchid. Is there anything I can do to insure that my orchid is healthy?

    I recently purchased a mini phal and a paph from my local orchid nursery(Hausermann's). Unbeknownst to me, my paph had a spike starting. About a week later, I noticed a new growth coming up. The new growth is doing great. It is about 1 1/4 inches in about 3 weeks. But my flower spike is doing nothing. What is your opinion on the situation? I did repot both when I brought them home 4 or 5 weeks ago.

I'm in Canada, mine bloomed just after Christmas and lasted for months but now in June, no blooms, just leaves...if I get a different type of orchid would some species bloom in the summer?

    You said hotter months is when the flowers will go over. But I live in the south west UK we've had the hottest 3 weeks of the year the last 3 weeks and my regular phal orchid is only just starting to get it's flower spike. Do regular sized orchids and mini ones flower roughly the same time/conditions? And is it normal for where I live??

    • @heatherdbcooper
      @heatherdbcooper Рік тому

      I also live in the south of England. Some orchids are summer blooming I think but most should go into spike in sept/Oct/Nov with flowers starting to open any time from Dec through to March/April. Most of mine are still in bloom since then, or just going over. That said I've got one who is a sequential bloomer and has been in bloom constantly since June last year. Hope that reassures you! 😊
