Oh my gosh Thank You for the no nonsense, straight forward info. Everybody else seems to think they need to babble on about whatever. And you did not. Very refreshing. Also your camera is great. In focus and shows your details perfectly. Nice job. Thank you so much. Take care.
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Thank you!! Plain and simple with no annoying music.
So helpful, thank you! Also, I appreciate how succinct you are. No one likes to watch 20 minute videos when the question they need answered can be explained clearly in 2 minutes. You're awesome!
My orchid has bloomed!! I'm soo happy!! It's so special after waiting forever!
Can't beat a 3 min video. Great job PhalPal. Happy Growing from your PhalPal Durrell
Absolutely!!!
Don't know why all videos can't be short, and to the point?
@@mariegarcia8007 honestly because it’s the small steps that messes you up.
Thanks for making sweet & short.
Once you watered your Orchid what did you do with the rest of the fertilizer and if you did not use it all what is the " Shelf Life:?....of the mixture...
Very straightforward video. Thank you. Wish I had seen this first. I spent hours watching other videos go on and on and got zero help.
This is what I’ve been doing with mine (first orchid ever) lol. I’ve had it for about a week now and she’s been doing fantastic so far! I did have to repot her because of some mushrooms in the media she came with and am super nervous and unsure if I did everything right (which I’m sure everyone is this way at first) long comment lol but thanks so much for this video! It reassured me that I’ve at least been watering and fertilizing correctly 😊 much love!
oh no mushrooms! I have never experienced that before, but I have seen someone online that had a mushroom problem. I'm glad you found this video helpful. :)
Julie Nicole I do have a question if you don’t mind. My orchid has produced some pretty small leaves under the bigger healthy leaves but they are turning brown and yellow, do you think that I should be worried?
They are also curling
hmmm sorry Stephen I have never experienced this before. Also, I tried looking up an answer to your question but I didn't see any info online about it. Sorry about that :/
Julie Nicole I couldn’t find anything online either. Thanks so much for trying though!
So useful thank u
Thank you. This is informative. My orchids leaves turned yellow after I put fertilizer. I used very weak fertilizer, 1/4 teaspoon mixed with 4 gallons so very weak and still my orchid leaves turned yellow. After a month all leaves turned yellow. 4 of my orchids died so sad 😞
Catherine Embalsado Oh sweetheart don’t be sad like I laterally feel for you because I’ve been through that but it’s ok we have to learn from our mistakes or experience and don’t be sad on the contrary we have to learn it’s ok many people have been through that and in your other orchid put the fertilizer once a month only becouse every week it is kind of intense on the plant .💕
I need help, please. My moth orchid looks healthy. It waa near the end of flowing when I brought it home. I cut off the flower stem above the 1st node. The flower stem is still green down to the medium. My other orchid has flowered twice since the other. What can I do?
very simple and informative.thanks.new subscriber!
Yay! Thanks for joining the channel :)
Short, and to the point!
Moth orchids are fairly forgiving so they aren't exactly a good measure for more dainty orchids, but I believe you are supposed to moisten the water starved roots prior to applying fertilizer.
Thanks for the tip!
That’s what I was asking!
Do you still put ice cubes in them once a week? Or does fertilizing once a week equal watering or “icing”?
Hi Julie, thank you for the helpful video. I have two orchid plants in my place. Each one came with a plastic pot like yours, but I re-planted them in planter pots and threw away the original plastic pots... Now I realize that I cannot check roots of my orchids...
Hello! You can always buy these types of clear plastic orchid pots online. I bought mine from: www.repotme.com I like how they have cut outs in the sides of the pot to allow air to circulate. You can also make your own if you are able to find clear plastic containers and use a hot nail or a drill to cut out drainage holes and aeration holes in the side. It's up to you! Also, it's important to grow your orchid in an orchid bark mix. I used to leave my orchids in the moss they came in and the roots always suffocated and rotted. I hope that helps!
Julie Nicole Thank you for the link! I will buy both the clear plastic orchid pots and the bark mix right now!
So now that you've sucked the plant in fertilizer. What do you do with the water + fertilizer mix? Do you reuse it? Or do you throw It away? And if you do reuse it how many times can you reuse it?
Hi Julie, I hope you can advise me. I bought two "rescue" mini phalaenopsis orchids that were on sale and in pretty bad shape when I got them on sale at the store. I removed them from those pots, cut their flower spikes and trimmed the rotten roots and potted them in a bark media with moss lightly layered at the top. They look happier but they still didn't look to be improving as much as I would have hoped over the last 2 weeks.
I have done one feed (half strength) of 10-20-20 fertilizer and I am wondering if I should switch to a 30-10-10/20 fertiliser to switch their focus to new leaves and roots instead. It's currently flowering season in South Africa and I've monitored their growing conditions VERY closely. I don't need them to flower again as I want to fully rehabilitaye them, but Is there anything else I can do to help them?
Sincerely,
Bryce
I just repotted two orchids in a mix that's mostly moss. I'm afraid if I soak them to fertilize them I could get root rot. Can I do a pour over method with fertilizer mixed in? Will the roots absorb the fertilizer if it's just a pour over?
I’ve read you have to soak the roots the day before fertilizing so as not to burn the roots from damage. Do you do this?
Yes you should water it the day before
Can you use liquidirt for orchids?
Good video
Thank you!
hey julie, how long does the fertilizer mix last once you prepare the solution?
well I'm not sure exactly, it tells you on the container. So it depends on what brand you are using.
@@julienicole92 I got a bag for free but it doesn't have the label anymore or such info, that's why I was curious to ask. Thanks anyway.
Can the drained off fertilizer be reused?
@@mariegarcia8007 I would assume that you could but it would be diluted as a lot of the particles would stay in the substrate.
I have difficultly finding clear pots to repot in. Any suggestions?
Amazon has them
This wouldn’t be considered over-watering if you fill it all the way up??
nope! since the pot has drainage it will be fine. I fill it all the way up so the whole root system becomes saturated
It’s not left in that water. ***15 minutes*** then dump the water/nutrient mix
good video your simi valley girl speech was a little difficult to understand but I got it...remember you are talking not typing
