No wonder everyone's so afraid or intimidated of growing Orchids, most of them are already doomed from the nursery... it's such a shame, but thankfully, there are people such as yourself to help us save them. Or at least try. I can hardly wait to repot my new Orchids, although I'm still intimidated.
I have recently found your channel and although I had thousands of orchids before having to scale back due to my health issues I have never lost the enthusiasm for growing a small handful of my absolute favourites. Since watching this video and many others on your channel I realised that most of my orchids are in very poor condition and need a whole lot of TLC. I have been relying on my husband to do the watering and that has been a bad idea. He is doing his best but I’m afraid it’s time I took control of their care again. Your videos have been invaluable Danni and most of all a wake up call for me to take more interest in the care of my girls again. I love that you refer to them as females, it makes so much sense. Thank you for providing so much great information in your videos, I’m hooked on orchids all over again. Thanks again, keep up the good work, cheers from Australia.
I’m brand new to orchids. THANK YOU! Your videos are SO informative and easy to watch. You gave me the courage to repot my orchids. I think they might now have a chance. ☺️
Thank you Danny. I know nothing about Oncidiums or Catlias or any other orchids besides Phals. But I love the flowers so I will be getting some Ons or Cats soon, but first, learn, learn, learn! So thank you Guru Danny! lol
Thank you for this excellent information. I have had an oncidium orchid for a number of years and never realized that I needed to repot it the way you have described here. I rehydrated it, did divide it into 2 plants and have been watering it the way you described above. Now it is doing much better, one of them has bloomed and both are making new roots and new pseudo bulbs in a way they never have before. Thank you for this VERY helpful video and information!
Thanks Danny, this was such a great video! It was so informative to actually see you make decisions and how you tug on the roots to see if they are alive or dead.
Hi Danny. Yes this was an invaluable repotting showing different situations and problems that can exist within a group and different techniques to remedy that might cover more viewers. You're right about needing two years. My first oncidium the Sherry baby I bought two years ago that was in worst of shape is beginning to spike I discovered this weekend. I almost threw away twice and decided not to give up and though its' spike is wonky will give me a bloom, credit to your vids.
I really enjoyed the bundle repot format! It's nice to see different kinds of issues and how to handle them. It also helps showing how variations of orchids looks like compared to each other. It makes it a lot easier to get a sense of what's normal and what's not.
I liked the multiple repotting. It hit on several problems I have had. No snails, thank heavens! You sound peppy and ultraprofessional, so I am praying that you are surviving COVID well! Loved all the colors and shapes. I am impressed that you continue to acquire expertise and knowledge about orchids. Good for you! Thank you for offering this for our use!
Oh my gosh, I've never seen someone have so much love and care for their orchids. I have always been somewhat cautious of them, because of one bad experience. I bought one once in my past, and it died. They're just so beautiful and somewhat costly, for me to just kill them! However, I have a perfect green thumb on everything else just about. So recently I found an orchid discounted to $15, at my local supermarket. I have had her now for over a month and she's just starting to drop her flowers. She has a type of bromelaid just aesthetically shoved into the side of the pot with her. I'm about to muster up some intestinal fortitude and re-pot them both in separate containers. I'll also cut that stalk, as in one of your other videos, and see if I can encourage a 2nd bloom. I would NEVER have the courage to do any of these things without your guidance and inspiration. Thank you so much! Because of you, perhaps I can now add these gorgeous creations of nature to my plant/flower collection. I have always adored orchids but always so intimidated. They really do require a special type of care and attention! And they are definitely worth it! I am so glad I found your channel! God bless you!😁
What an awesome story and I had a similar experience with phaelenopsis orchids as well. But, I'm trying again!!! With MOG guidance, we will have a better a experience and the orchids will too!
this was a great video! I inherited a sick oncidium when my dad passed away end of summer and I'm finally going to repot it and see what the roots look like. Now I feel more confident about what to do!
A wonderful tutorial for us new orchid folks. Thanks, Dani, for your information and guidance. I did some repotting yesterday and discovered I did it right, after seeing this video. Hooray!
I am an enthusiast because of your Channel! I follow all your videos religiously even if I don't have that kind of orchid. I love all the experience you share and your passion for orchids. I personally prefer multiple reporting's in one video
So, here i am watching this a year late, as ironically I've been too busy caring for my own collection. However, I wanted to comment that this was one of the most helpful videos I've watched. I FINALLY feel confident about dealing with roots and re-potting. Having started with phals that are pretty self-explanatory, oncidium roots were tricky. Thanks again for all you share. :)
Hello, I am new in this orchid world, but I admire you and everything that you do. I ordered a few things from Repotme already. I always love the passion of many people have for orchids. I’m still afraid, because I am a beginner and I know that I will messed up, but you are very helpful with your excellent guidance. I just wish to have you here an tell me if my orchids are fine or need some kind of rescue. I love your videos and the clarity of your explanation. Thank you! I hope that one day I grow my orchids like you! 🥰
I really Ike this kind of video. Thank you for so much Information in one video. I'm researching African Violets and Orchids. After I found your channel I been learning more.
So glad I found this video Dani! I recently purchased 4 oncidium orchids and will be repotting soon. As always, your videos are educational and FUN to watch.
ohh nice, I just got a couple of oncidiums including the one that got renamed, soo I am still getting use to what to call it. thank you so much 👍 very helpful videos
Thank you so much Danny. for all the valuble informamationz. It was very infotmative. I just want to know if you mount any orchids and other epis and if you cou,d make a vidio about . Thank you once again for all the very helpful tips. Very much appreciated.
Love the combination of multiple repots in one video. It helps to compare differences of root. Question... Do we cut or leave the strings of the dead roots?
Very useful and specific! I had problems after separating and repotting Cambria Alpine purchased from Cameleonorchids. One or two pseudobulbs get orange rot in each section. My roots looked like your Eurostar. Only one made a flower spike, but is shrinking and the leaves started to get yelow (although I respected all stages of repotting and desinfecting). I want you to make a progress video about the care you gave to these repotted orchids after a month or two.
Hi Danny. First of all: thank you for everything. Because of you, I’m a pro at Phals. Ive at least 1 orchid in bloom (often more) since December 2022. Some of them - twice in a row. [people tell me they’re hard to grow. I’m like.. I do whatever Danny says]. Re: Oncidiums - how did this medium work for you? The sphegem/bark ratio (that I use for the Phals) tends to wrinkle the pseudobulb rather quick and the leaves get an ‘accordion shape’ (rather than the leaf curving out/open… they often curve in/closed). Can you please share more of your oncidium experiences? (Erm. Would love more on Zygopedelms info too. The dark spots on the leaves; thoughts?) Thank you again.
Thanks for this video. I really would be very interested how many from these 10 plants made it. Did you do an update or did I just miss it. By the way the doves 'sound' great.
I did enjoy this tutorial. You are clear, concise and knowledgeable I would enjoy more. I have a small fanning orchid with a fleshy rhizome, I believe. The roots near the orchid fans are well but miniscule The fans are about 3" by 1". Should I lay the fleshy under root (rhizome) on its side with is bigger, comparatively, roots spreading around it? Stick it straight down? One of the growths of fans looks as if it is climbing, as the tiny stem attaching it to the rhizome is much longer than the attachments to the rhizome of the other 2 fans I would appreciate your help. Sincerely, Loula.
This was such a great video. Very educational. Do you ever post updates on how the orchids you repot in these videos are faring down the line? I would love to hear about how the plants recovered after you tended to them, especially since it's rather depressing the condition nurseries sell these amazing plants in.
So I have a Sherry Baby I purchased with a spike from a nursery now it is in full bloom in a 3 inch pot. 2 large bulbs and It looks very crowded in the pot. Should I repot while it’s blooming? I have several Phalaenopsis and have repotted while in bloom with no issues. I thought about waiting until the blooms faded. This is my first on Oncidium. Love your channel! Ty!
Great post Danny👍 I’m new to Orchids so was very very happy to find your channel. Can I ask about the pots and how your DIY the ventilation with by soldering? It’s very difficult to get them here in Ireland. Thank you 😊🙏
I just re-potted my orchid with products from Repotme. Everything was great getting the items and the quality. My question is the potting mix didn't have any moss in it which I thought was odd but I went ahead and re-potted it. Its been about a couple of weeks now and I'm wondering if it should have had moss in it only because it doesn't seem set firmly in the pot. Am I worrying for nothing?
Thanks for this great video! I recently started to grow two Oncidiums and repotted them. Maybe someone can answer a question I didn’t find an answer to: I repotted my Oncidium Sharry Baby (it sadly came with snail damage 🥺) and unfortunately damaged a new growth just emerging from the rhizome. Do Oncidiums grow multiple new growths or just one? Hence, did I just kill my orchid? Thanks for your help ♥️🌸🌸
Thanks Danny! This is a very very informative repotting video that I need and enjoy to watch. 1 question: when repotting phalaenopsis with unhealthy root, should root not be wrapped with wet moss but bark? I had some phal with few root repotted last week. I found the unheathly root gone in the wet moss very soon. I wonder if the wet moss would cause the unheathly root rotten easily, without a chance to bounce back. Thanks!
The reason for cutting the leg is then blooming and how long does the leg appear again? I am Arabic and I do not speak English so I did not understand what you say in the video just follow me because I love the Orchid? Is this kind of orchid better than the white blossom which is the best?
Great video as always! I have a question though as I have a Sharry Baby that's starting to grow a new flower spike.. is it too late for it to be repotted ? I know I should have repotted once the flowers are spent but I left it as is and cared for it pretty well until I saw a spike! I'm excited and all but now I believe it may be too late for it to be repotted .. What is ur thoughts on this?
Hi Danny! Is there a reason for individual pot for each orchids type? I potted all my accumulated orchids plants in one rectangular container.. is it ok? What do you think?
MOG, I have never seen snails all these years and now I've found two. My orchids have all been repotted this winter but none sprayed with H2O2. Can I flood the pots and mounts with peroxide, or will the large amount kill the orchids?
We like to see this type of videos like this guys if you agree
Very informative! I will try to save my orchid.
No wonder everyone's so afraid or intimidated of growing Orchids, most of them are already doomed from the nursery... it's such a shame, but thankfully, there are people such as yourself to help us save them. Or at least try. I can hardly wait to repot my new Orchids, although I'm still intimidated.

Liked seeing several of the same variety of orchid being repotted. Helped to recognize potential problems with them.
I’m brand new to orchids. THANK YOU! Your videos are SO informative and easy to watch. You gave me the courage to repot my orchids. I think they might now have a chance. ☺️
Thank you Danny. I know nothing about Oncidiums or Catlias or any other orchids besides Phals. But I love the flowers so I will be getting some Ons or Cats soon, but first, learn, learn, learn! So thank you Guru Danny! lol

Love this format. 👍🏻❤️
I like these. It seems a little more difficult to repot these ones so it's good to see a number of them to see what we may be up against so thank you
These videos help take away my fear of tacking repotting my orchids.
Thanks Danny, this was such a great video! It was so informative to actually see you make decisions and how you tug on the roots to see if they are alive or dead.
Loved seeing several repotting together!
I like this type of video, I am no longer afraid to transplant or divide my orchids. Love watching your posts!
I have very cheap orchids at my local grocery shop. Very similar to these. Very educational. I’m glad all is not lost. Only the patience issue
Hi Danny. Yes this was an invaluable repotting showing different situations and problems that can exist within a group and different techniques to remedy that might cover more viewers. You're right about needing two years. My first oncidium the Sherry baby I bought two years ago that was in worst of shape is beginning to spike I discovered this weekend. I almost threw away twice and decided not to give up and though its' spike is wonky will give me a bloom, credit to your vids.
I really enjoyed the bundle repot format! It's nice to see different kinds of issues and how to handle them. It also helps showing how variations of orchids looks like compared to each other. It makes it a lot easier to get a sense of what's normal and what's not.

Loved all the colors and shapes. I am impressed that you continue to acquire expertise and knowledge about orchids. Good for you! Thank you for offering this for our use!
I love repotting so it was so much fun to see all the orchids and situations that you came across. So yes, keep this type of video coming.
thank you .. i'm addicted to orchids
Oh my gosh, I've never seen someone have so much love and care for their orchids. I have always been somewhat cautious of them, because of one bad experience.

I am a newby to the orchid world. This information was extremely helpful to me! Thank you!
After watching this video, I finally felt confident enough to repot my oncidium! It was much needed and so far, successful. Thank you so much!
A wonderful tutorial for us new orchid folks. Thanks, Dani, for your information and guidance. I did some repotting yesterday and discovered I did it right, after seeing this video. Hooray!
@Gloria Vargo I agree, Gloria. I was worried that I was cutting too much , but now I see, it was correct! Dani is a wonderful teacher.
Love this format because of all the education. And it’s easy to go back and see all the reportings in one
I love it! I now really have a much better understanding of oncidiums and what needs to be done for various situations.. Thank you Dani.
I benefited from the numbers of repotting scenarios. Very helpful!
I like this format it's good to have the comparison
Excellent video with lots of examples of how to deal with problems! I liked it!

I really enjoyed this video, Danny. Making decisions according to what you find. Very interesting xxx
I LOVE repotting videos you always see new things and learn a thing or two
Loved this video! I just bought 9 sick baby orchids, been watching your videos to figure out how to make them healthy!
I really Ike this kind of video. Thank you for so much Information in one video. I'm researching African Violets and Orchids. After I found your channel I been learning more.
I liked seeing all the different issues with these repotings. Thanks!
So glad I found this video Dani! I recently purchased 4 oncidium orchids and will be repotting soon.
As always, your videos are educational and FUN to watch.
GREAT video! So much experience we can glean from!
Love this lesson of orchid care.
Thank you, just what I needed. Shame with the price of orchids that you get such poorly grown ones. Always enjoy your videos. 👍
I like this format, especially in this instance. Oncidium intergenerics are my favorite and you have some stunning examples here.
I do like to see individual pottings, depending on their root problems. This was great though :)
Love the multiple repottings in one!
I like this video with multiple repotings.
Amazing, just stunning flowers too
ohh nice, I just got a couple of oncidiums including the one that got renamed, soo I am still getting use to what to call it.
thank you so much 👍 very helpful videos
I would love to see the next repotting on these orchids. Great video!
One of the best repotting videos I've ever seen!
Good information for Orchid aficionados.
Watching this huge repotting video makes me want to go out and buy a bunch of them and have a go...Always enjoyed your videos
Thank you, Danny, I enjoyed this video.
repoting are my favorite videos!!!
Thank you so much Danny. for all the valuble informamationz. It was very infotmative. I just want to know if you mount any orchids and other epis and if you cou,d make a vidio about . Thank you once again for all the very helpful tips. Very much appreciated.
You're amazing. Your videos are just so enjoyable to watch even if I don't have this type of orchid yet. Keep up the great work.
Love the combination of multiple repots in one video. It helps to compare differences of root. Question... Do we cut or leave the strings of the dead roots?
Cut!!!
Thank you. Very educational. I am about to repot 6 oncidium types and this will help me considerably

thanks for sharing. i love orchids
I love the repotting videos! ❤️
Beautiful oncidiums ! Quite spectacular flowers I would say... Wow, exciting marathon repotting !
I am really looking forward to see an update 😊
Loved the group repotting video! Very helpful! Please do more. Thanks!
this was an amazingly helpful video - so much work Dany! Great job!!
Where did these all come from? Flower shop going out of business?
Thanks you for doing this video it has been so helpful. I always start my day with a latte and you.
👋 Thanks for all your videos especially this kind of footage formate, very helpful. Keep them coming.
I truly enjoyed this video, was very informative !
I love this style of video.
Hey danni! I love you’re videos and take notes on them to retain knowledge. Keep up the good work!
Very interesting yes this was a learning video thank you 😊
I think you could use super thrive on the worst cases you encounter, is better to be safe than to risk killing them
Enjoyed this mass repotting!!
Love this video Danny... it was completely educational!!! Thanks a lot

Great video as always! I have a question though as I have a Sharry Baby that's starting to grow a new flower spike.. is it too late for it to be repotted ? I know I should have repotted once the flowers are spent but I left it as is and cared for it pretty well until I saw a spike! I'm excited and all but now I believe it may be too late for it to be repotted .. What is ur thoughts on this?
Danny, I'd like to know how much seashell powder did you apply to each of them, i also buy some but i donot know how to use it.
These are so beautiful oncidium's. Great display😍. I have an orchid very similar to what you have. 😀
I like this set up!!
Your video is very informative,
But isn't it stressful for the plants being uprooted whilst in Bloom ?
(I don't know much about Orchids )
Hi Danny! Is there a reason for individual pot for each orchids type? I potted all my accumulated orchids plants in one rectangular container.. is it ok? What do you think?
MOG, I have never seen snails all these years and now I've found two. My orchids have all been repotted this winter but none sprayed with H2O2. Can I flood the pots and mounts with peroxide, or will the large amount kill the orchids?
Hi, nope it's ok :) just don't use more than 3% concentration
I liked it very much!🌸
