This is by far the best tutorial I've ever come across for orchids. You teach WHY things happen. Thank you.
I AGREE! ONE OR THE BEST VIDEO ON ORCHIDS ON UA-cam!
Amen to that
Any idea where one can find those pre-drilled glass pots?
@@edwardiraschachner1443 I found one from here: www.finnishdesignshop.com/garden-outdoor-gardening-flower-pots-planters-orchid-pot-small-p-14353.html?region=au&gclid=CjwKCAjwmNzoBRBOEiwAr2V27WsUCe50pofFv219fGa4_KWloVrL916r2WFvRaosAIelZMjFivVG9BoCby4QAvD_BwE
@@edwardiraschachner1443 If you follow the link in the description above, you can see a video where he explains how he makes these.
I have never received and comprehend this much information in a 15 minute period in my life. Your ability to explain things in a comprehensive way is amazing! Thank you so much!!!
Not a big commenter on videos, but, darn, these are so helpful and your are so pleasant and through in your presentation! Well done, and thank you!
I can't believe, after watching a few of your videos, that the orchid I had, lived as long as it did. I didn't do anything right!
You treat these like they are people patients! So much love is in every little thing you say. Thank you Michael!
I've been growing and watching YT videos on orchids for a little over a year and I'm impressed by your knowledge! You sure make it easy to understand! Thank you!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad it's easy to understand! It's exactly what I aim for ☺️
Eileen Mailloux just what i wanted to say nice relax step by step since i have a TBI cased by a CVA i can follow it good
I'm so glad to hear that, thank you for the positive feedback, friends!
Michael's Orchids
What are the hydroponics?
@@shelleycarhill5225 the Semi hydroponic part is that theres NO SOIL. Its HYDRO CLAY PELLETS. They hold moisture within small holes n cracks n crevices which feeds the plant vs conventional SOIL or DIRT.
The HYDRO clay makes it SEMI Hydroponic.
I went on the comments just to see if anyone is so amazed with all the info he provided. Verrrrrrry helpful and I’ve learned something I didn’t learn from other videos.
You inspired me to convert my only orchid into semi-hydro. 🌱
Personal Therapy via the medium of orchid....Micheal, I’m in England and my orchids are doing super well and I’m super happy about it....I mean to keep them well so I’m watching your master class....you’re a therapist.....it is so evident that you are a gracious human being....
I have learnt to bless the water I give my orchids with a heartfelt blessing,and I swear they love it...they look great.....thought I would randomly share what little I know with you as you have shared your elegant self with us...x
This is hands down the best and most informational video I have ever come across for orchids. Now I feel confident enough to transition my beloved orchids. Thank you so much!!!
I just purchased an orchid to try out in lecca. I just planted it 2 days ago. This video was a big help and I am glad I got to see it!! Thanks!!
I understand now!!! Ten years of frustrations, joys, and a few tears makes sense now! Thank you! 🌸. You’ve saved the lives of my future orchids!!!
💡 !!!!!!!
After months and months of obsessively watching UA-cam videos, potting, repotting and repotting my orchids in a desperate attempt to not kill them, your videos have finally brought me to a new level of understanding. Major light bulbs here. Thank you so much for this video! 🎉🌸
Amazing and clear instructions. I have followed someone elses who said 24hrs in water, 24hrs out of the water for many weeks and things are happening but I much prefer this video and treatment. Very clear. Thank you. Xx
Very interesting, to the point, no time wasting, very knowledgeable. I like your explanations as they help me to understand the processes. Thank you
Thank you SO much..I just rescued 2 orchids from a friend and now I feel that I have the knowledge needed to save them! 😊
I love analytical teachings. You don’t miss a thing. Learned a lot.
My beloved pink phalaenopsis isn’t anything special but I love it. It was a gift when my husband was seriously three years back l. It was dying, leaves yellowing and dropping but I followed your instructions to the letter. And I’ve now got a healthy & happy plant, sending up new leaves and yesterday we saw it had its first new flower spike. Means so much to me. Thank you for your super helpful advice.
I had almost lost all hope for my orchid! ALMOST! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. So informative and thorough. Wish me luck on my orchid's rehab!
I agree with Jennifer. This is absolutely the best video on orchids, and I have watched many!! It clarifies so many things about orchids. Thank you so much!
I have never learn so much in my life in such a short and concise way. Thank you so much for this video.
3 mins into the video, I had already decided you are my orchid go to! Very good job Micheal.
Incredibly informative.
It's great watching and listening to someone who has passion for something. Michael's Orchiids is full of useful insights into the care of Orchids. I wish I had found this earlier. Well done that man!
I watched your videos and recently converted my phalaenopsis orchid to semi hydroponic. It is now thriving. There are 4 new roots and the leaves are not bendy anymore! It looks great. My husband bought me this for our anniversary 3 years ago and it started to die. This method has brought it back. Great videos and I also lve the way it looks with the lyca beads!!!
This video blew my mind. On my way to buy a new orchid confident i won’t kill it this time
I started a new job a couple of months ago & was given an orchid (that I now was is a Phal) as a welcome-to-the-office gift. My heart sank I've long been afraid of orchids, believing they were beyond my [limited] ability. Its flowers bloomed and now it has two bald flower stalks. It did grow a new leaf, but then appeared to go into sleep mode. I've been fretting over what to do next. Today I stumbled across a vid of yours in which you rescued Kiki's orchid; I then watched this vid. I have [used] leca and see that you have a vid on properly cleaning growing media! Michael, you've given me courage & confidence! I'll view your vids--I'm sure with my new found knowledge my orchid & I are poised for a beautiful relationship. Thank you so much!
Omg you are amazing!! For real, best instructor ever. I hope you do this for a living
Wow, the part about changing the medium was really helpful for me to understand why the roots suffocate, thank you!
Thank you for this video Michael, it is invaluable. I have been growing orchids for many years (along with other houseplants) but have now decided to transfer everything to semi hydroponics. Your video has been extremely helpful and I have learned a lot (at 70+ this doesn’t happen so often!) so, once again, my grateful thanks, I enjoyed it immensely. (Frances, UK)
This video may be older, but I just found it today. Very informative and well done. Thank you so much for this. I’m a first time orchid owner who has found myself needing some help to keep her beautiful....
coping with live, shown by the example of caring for your orchids.
a wonderful metaphor :')
thanks so much for this brilliant job of explaining the delicacies of orchid gardening. explaining why and showing how to remidy something is crucial for properly doing ANYthing. it's a perfect teaching method. you're a wonderful teacher. thanks Michael.
So glad I ran across your tutorials! My orchids just finished blooming so I know it is time to repot. Thank you!
Michael, I just found you today. Orchids are so wonderful and so are you in bringing so much useful knowledge to like minds. Thanks for sharing.
WONDERFUL video!!! Thank you! I took all my orchids out and put them on a tree limb. I saw that they lived that way in the wild.. They look beautiful!!
You are a lovely, lovely person and I love your videos. What a considerate co-worker you are. Thanks for helping me shake the guilt. I really want to improve my orchid growing skill. I've subscribed. Thanks!
this video gives me the courage to keep and help my sick orchids. Thank you for all your help.
This is such a well organized and helpful video Michael! It's so so important for new orchid owners to be aware of that sphagnum plug. I noticed my new giant Phal was not doing too well a few months back and decided to repot. I discovered a big sphag plug that was deteriorating her middle roots. So glad I repotted sooner rather than later! And it's so important to know that it's ok to cut flower spikes. I've had people say I'm crazy for doing that, but then my plant starts growing a new leaf so ha! Lol. I did not know about the reason for cutting above the node so that was neat 🙂 Thanks for a really informative video on orchid maintenance. Well done! 🌺
Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback Emily, I really appreciate it!
Thank you!! I re-potted a store bought orchid on that system (the beads with the glass just looks gorgeous) and the leaves started turning yellow and my roots going and i was supper worried, but you mentioned at the end of the video this expected and i am so relieved! Will keep an eye on it but thanks so much, super informative!
How is the plant doing after 3 years??
@@oblivionlover100 hey!
Oh, gosh, not sure which particular plant I meant, I am pretty sure that one didn't make, but I have two Phals from that same time that are alive and growing roots and leaves, though no reblooms yet. I have switched to just straight water though, without the beads. The lower leaves did fall on those also, pretty sure.
This video was an absolute joy to watch. So comprehensive. I love to understand exactly why I’m doing something for my orchid. Definitely makes me a better orchid mumma.
Thank you so much ❤
New to your channel. I have been growing my Orchids wrong all these years. Thank you for all the information to grow a healthier orchids.
I just found your page and Love it! I have a couple Orchids I rescued from a grocery store clearance tray. I am hoping to save it, so here I am. Thanks so much for doing this video, Perfect timing!!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thank you for taking time to be a dispensary of time and experience.
Great information, so happy I found this and this will help me so much with future Orchids!! Your tea bag method is currently helping to save three of my Orchids!!❤️🥰🙏🏼
Beyond grateful that you not only explain how, but why. This is how i retain information hahaha
Who would dislike this video? So amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Extremely through and well presented!! Thanks! Vicki
OMG you saved the Orchid from killing itself!!! You’re my HERO :)
This video was brilliant. After my first phalae failure last year, someone bought me a new one as a gift. I am now repotting it and realise where I went wrong with the old one. I also understand now why the bottom leaves died and feel off the old one and that this is just part of the process! Thankyou! Subscribed!
00:30 and here I am 4 videos deep into your channel. You are a fountain of knowledge! What a guy 😘🥰
I must say, after watching SO many orchid videos when I received my first 2 orchids (Phals) for Valentine's Day 2017 I was completely overwhelmed with information. I lost one in the process, RIP. I have slowly gained confidence in caring for them and now my Phals are beginning to thrive, despite such a harsh winter this year. A couple months ago I found a Phal at my local grocer marked down for only $7, which lost its final flower just as I picked it up to inspect it. The roots and leaves were beautiful so it seemed like a good buy, and a good chance to treat my knowledge. I am proud to say it is thriving and currently producing 2 flower spikes. I can't wait to see what they will look like.
To my point: yesterday I watched a video about converting your orchids to semi-hydro and although it seemed like an excellent idea for me, I was left with more questions than answers. I came across your channel today for the first time, and I have to say THANK YOU! I loved every minute of your video. You addressed all of my questions in your step by step tutorial (even ones I didn't know I had!) I love you already and cannot wait to watch more videos on your channel!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I try my best to keep my videos concise, specific and to-the point! It warms my heart to know it was helpful, I so appreciate the positive feedback! ❤️
Oh thank you! I'm watching all of your semi hydro videos!(to be honest all the semi hydro videos I can find on youtube.heh)
I have an oncidium twinkle with horrible roots that split into 2 sections and now both sections are just starting to push out the first signs of new growth. One with 2 bulbs and the other with numerous roots. I'm currently using a little cheap pipette to manually water them every day or two. Yes. I love my plants. Lol
Ive heard twinkles love semi hydro because they want to be watered so frequently. New baby root nubs seem like the perfect time to convert!
I'm really growing to appreciate your channel! You have such a pleasant and comfortable presence in front of the camera. Youve made so much wonderful content!
Man!
You are very informative and your methods of sterilization are cool and entertaining to watch.
The look of having semi-hydroponics as your medium is stylish. Great video.
Thank you, Michael. I am so happy I found your channel. I have inadvertently killed a few Phalaenopsis. I was trying to understand what I was doing wrong. I have three Phalaenopsis in my care at the moment. I am more confident that I will be able to look after them a lot better.
Great video on caring for Kristen's orchid. I'd love to see how it did . Thank you for all the great info!
I just found your channel and having watched hundreds of videos, this is the best I have seen! So glad I found you! Will be looking forward to catching more clips and learning from you. Thanks so much for your clear explanations and sharing your extensive knowledge with us. Cheers!
Wow! Your tutorial is so succinct and informative. Amazing. Great job👏👏
I absolutely LOVE this video. I am definitely going to reference this one to all my friends who are starting out with or want to start Chid growing. I've seen many many videos and read many articles in order to get the amount of info you have provided in just one 15ish minute video! And so eloquently put too!
Thank you for sharing, it took me a long while to compile the information into this system. Now it's a breeze!
I should be doing homework... but the aspiring plant lady in me just wants to keep watching these videos
First of all, I Just Adore You! That is not something I say often so thank you for this gift as well as the many others you have shared with all of us lucky humans and our planted companions.
Second, I want to take the time to thank you for walking us patiently through this process in a way that is easily understandable. I've always found that those who teach both the science and the method are most effective for everyone involved. BUT unlike one of my faves Alton Brown, you are not cheesy or a bit obnoxious about it. Direct to the point while being addictively naturally charming. Thank You, Thank You!!
That being said, I can't help but feel that there must be something awesome that could be done with the amputated shoots. I personally feel exactly as you do and have used the dried shoots as natural supports in other potted plants who needed help with staying held up. Have you checked to see what happens when you place them in water for long periods? I'm sure they'd eventually rot but it seems that they would hold up for quite some time before this happens, so you could use them in a unique flower arrangement, possibly? They could poke out on their own in a more avant garde fashion, or you could wind something more flexible around them. As I'm sure you are aware, they dry into light weight sticks so their repurposing possibilities are almost endless. Aside from as-is, they can be dipped into beeswax or another natural wax or oil to be made somewhat waterproofed and enhance their colors, or you can permanently dip them in shellac or another oil based primer for a stronger enhancement of its natural structural compound. Gosh, now I wish I had access to many of these shoots like you do!! Thank you again for your wonderful services!!

Oh I'm so happy to have found you! Thank you, Michael!
Boy, I loveeeee the way you explain things. I guess you know what you are talking about. 😊 Thank you.
Haha, thank you! I don’t have all the answers by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve learned a lot 😀
@@MichaelsOrchids ..Darling, not everyone has the gift of speaking like this , so god bless and see if you can use you talent to make more money. Don't known...there are so many gabs in the market and you can feel it with your audacity. Go for it boy, xxx
Michael...you rock...you da man....you the straight shooter.....Thank You!
this is the second video of yours I have watched...OMG I want to hug you!!!! Thank you so much for this! I tried to do the bark to hydro swap on my own and I failed so miserably. THIS ...this is AWESOME !
Excellent. A wealth of knowledge imparted to your community equipping us with the proper way to care for our orchids whilst understanding them. First time viewer and new sub.
You should be called THE ORCHID GENIUS!! lol absolutely slendid job dear sir! I am new to orchids so I am learning all I can and you are a perfect teacher!!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. You have explained a lot why, how and what to do to care for orchids in leca.
You would cringe at how I treated my orchids! I've learned so much in a few of your videos!
Glad I found this channel. I live in Florida and have a "Florida room"--the walls are 90% windows that I keep open, so the room stays warm and super humid with bright, indirect light. Orchid heaven! Will be browsing this channel to hopefully find tips on growing orchids with exposed roots and no medium. Orchid flowers are of course the goal, but I love the look of draping roots, too!
Michael, very informative. Thank you very much for the overview and details and links to explore what you use. As Jennifer said, your 'why/explanations' are awesome.
Thanks for this great tutorial. I just bought my first orchid. Greetings from The Netherlands.
This gives me hope for my sad phals that I've gotten recently. I've had a few orchids before that have all met their end due to either over watering, dehydration or root rot as I didn't know much about orchids at all. The way you present the info in this video is SO helpful. I've been searching and searching online for the best medium and this seems like it will work for my climate. I'll definitely give this a try on my poor dehydrated babies ;u;
You'ze a boss. I'm off to the store to get started on treating a bunch of sick orchids
Oh my gosh thank you! You were so clear and showed the method and reasoning behind everything. I feel so confident now that I can do this
I just found your channel... First of all.. I love you. Second of all I need a orchid hype man like you in my life.
I love this tutorial and how you explain why things are done which makes so much sense.
Kudos to you for doing this. You are a fantastic teacher!
hi hope your collection is keeping you occupied this this diffracts time of history. Also your family and friends you are safe and heathy. Thank you for your video.
Thanks, your awesome Michael. I watch all your videos.
You made me buy 5 orchids and I have been rehabing all of them. So sad!
This has been SO USEFUL I am going to go save all my hubby's mini-phaels. Thanks!!!
Micheal I so appreciate your knowledge, and delivery.
I wanted to share my experience with drilling holes in glass/ mason jars etc.
I found after three very pricey drill bits, the light went on and I pulled out my Dremel OMG it is absolutely fail proof (for me ) just wanted to share this.
You make it look so easy and I am very knowledgeable with power tools/ bits and all that fun stuff.
I wanted to share this because I can see that it would be quite a challenge if you 1 don’t have proper drill power, 2 absolutely essential bit.
Back to you and your amazing knowledgeable self.
My mom passed in May 2019 she had 3 orchids and I took them home, mind you I am a personal Gardner but I have had not a lot of luck with these exotic beauties so I am very grateful I found you.
You rock!
Now let’s see if I can make this work.
With Respect,
Michelle
wow! what wonderfully clear and well-explained instructions! You've convinced me to switch my few struggling orchids to semi hydro! And you convinced me to subscribe! 💖🌺
Love you Michael. Beutifully organised and super articulate with your own cute style. I'm a new to the hobby and I just rescued 16 severely dehydrated Phals. Fun for the next 2 years. Thanks!
My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day
I have no orchids (they have all 💀), but I watched the entire video and it's incredible. You make it seem so simple! I will definitely try my hand at orchids again but will immediately remove them from the death pot they came in.
Your video and shared links are superb and very informative. Excellent and very helpful for a beginner like me
THAT was a tremendous amount of work So many solutions to have to work with , it a bit daunting for a beginner Michael.....
I love what a clean freak you are! Me too! Thank you for your help. I bought the clay beads from ikea and didn’t know how to use them. Now I do!
😘 Thank You So Much, Very Informative for us want to be Orchid Lover’s Whom haven’t quite figured it out. Better then anything I have read, or watched. Ty
Thank you for this video! You Are SO easy to understand!!! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you!!!
Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge. The set backs really made me panic. I hurt them by trying to love them too much! And thats the story of how I lost my collection! Haha. But now I know better for next time. Thank you again.
Thank you Michael! You're a stellar teacher.
I find this video very interesting. I never thought about hydroponically growing orchids. Every step was explained thoroughly and very well. I was trained that orchid roots like being "tight" and that it promoted them to essentially stress out and bloom... Id love to see a follow up to how they turned out.
ok that thaum. bipinn. behind you is astonishing!
I just found your channel today, and I love it, your are clear and concise in your videos and I absolutely love your personality. New subscriber and I am looking forward to viewing all your videos!!
Michael, this is a very good tutorial and when I passed on to my Facebook friends.
Thank you for your support Pamela, I so appreciate it!
I'm dealing with some of these very things right now. I have part of the problem solved, but what a wealth of information! You've made a subscriber out of me. Thank you for your thorough information!
Wow, so glad I found your channel. Bought my first Orchard and now can love & care for it intelligently. Thank you. Also going to get the equipment!
Kitty Anaspenelope Did you typed it wrong or you really went ahead and bought the whole “Orchard”??
@@tan_k I hate auto fill, that's my answer as I slowly type it, checking each letter as it pops on the screen.
Wow ! Your explanation broke down every step in such great detail, I appreciated this informative video
Just what I have been looking for Thanks 👍
Such a great informative and straightforward video! Thanks for the detailed tutorial and for the explanations. I’ve always wondered about those old spagnum moss plugs....
Nice video and a very honest one. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
