For the last several months, every time I saw an Orchid for sale at Lowes and WalMart- I thought of you. I finally went for it and bought one. So timely you put this very informative video out. Your channel content is so uplifting in the world's uncertain times- thank you much!

Beautiful orchids! I will have to try the layering method. We average $19 and up for all of our orchids here. Often many months pass before a new flower spike occurs. We have some "popcorn" orchids in the yard that bloom annually in late spring. The rest generally bloom during cooler weather. Always enjoy your videos . Aloha🪴

I got an orchid, when i first started watching your orchid videos. It is now dead, but since then ive gotten a new one, and it is doing so much better. It makes me happy every time i look at its pretty flowers. I just wanted to say thank you for bringing orchids into my plantcollection:)

I recall when you first got into orchids, you appreciated the leaves. Wow, I tuned into this to see you are now an avid orchid person and know so much! You've inspired me to look into replanting my orchids which, finally after so many years, bloom every year for me. Thanks for the inspiration!

I see you have been researching. 😏 I just wanna let you know that the moss and bark method she does works for her climate. You are in California so I would say it works fine in your care too but it’s all depends on how often you would water them also… but you probably know that already. When it’s in humid condition, the moss might start moldy so watch out on that if you have humidifier near them. How are other orchids doing?

How come you need to put spaghmum moss with the orchard bark this mix of substrates? I just use soil with orchard bark mix. Do the blooms come back after they drop off? I only see new leaves grow but no flower blooms yet. I find my orchard roots they can look dry and crispy and white looking not healthy green like yours.
@ErikaLodes
2 жыл бұрын
I haven’t seen anyone use soil for their orchids o: that is usually too dense a substrate, but idk if it works for you! Sometimes the flower spike will grow some more flowers lower down after the old blooms die. Otherwise, you can cut off the old spike & a new one should grow maybe in the next year or two. When phals aren’t growing flower spikes, they are growing new leaves so it sounds like yours is doing ok. My roots can look white & crispy too if they need water. After soaking them for like 30 min, they will start to turn green again. So maybe they just need a good soaking?
@calnative4904

I wouldn’t use a soil mix unless it was a terrestrial orchid such as a jewel orchid. You can easily cause an epiphytic orchid root rot using soil.
