Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial ! It was like watching over your shoulder 😄 ! I notieced you didn't cut some yellow roots ....are they still useful for the phal ? My boyfriend has just offered me a new one in full bloom and I was afraid of converting it right now.....won't the flowers fall ? Your latest purchase is a pure wonder 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Hi Catherine and thanks so much for your sweet comment! I'm so glad to hear this video helped you! :) The yellow roots are still fine and viable for the plant. They just haven't had any light, so they stay yellow like this until they do receive some light. I've converted many orchids to water culture, and converting them doesn't affect the bloom cycle. Have a great day and happy growing! :)

Dear OW! I just love your videos. They have been most helpful. Our orchids here up North!! ON Canada are double de price and limited in selection. I just purchased one today with lots of roots and leaves and blooms and buds! It came in bark but prepared it all for H2O culture. I did not have calmag and salt for the watering cleaning: hope this will still work. It’s a bit challenging to make the decision if roots are clean enough for H2O but I will give it a try to see. After a week, or two, I will see if rehoming it in bark is best I will do so. I am hoping it won’t die! One I am trying to save from dying: it has no more roots! It’s in bark, in a warm room with lots of humidity and light. It’s hard to see root growth in bark; any suggestions? I am starting! Just this week! But really finding interest in them! Thank you for your book reference and end comment. Also find your crystal crosses so beautiful ;) Yours sincerely, Julie Seeking the truth, goodness, and beauty!

Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I’m currently living in Korea, where I don’t speak the language and had to take my 4 phalaenopsis orchids I’ve had for the last 3 years (a completely newbie plant and orchid grower) to a local orchid grower for help. With the help of a Korean friend, he’s converted it from moss to water culture and I was really worried. But having watched your video, I’m feeling a lot better, and will watch your other videos to help my new water culture orchids. Your descriptions and focusing in and out on the root system is excellent; and your voice is clear and cues really helpful. Thank you, bless you and continue the great work!

Hello, I have a tiny phal that I suspect was a keiki. I thought she was going well in her bark mix but I took her out when I noticed she just wasn't growing like the rest. She has 1 root that is about 1,/2 inch long and another that about 1/8. I placed her in moss and she is doing well. I would like to try her in water culter. I figured, from watching other videos that she needs a strip of cloth placed over the root and the end of the cloth down in the water to hydrate the orchid? I would love to try this . What are your thoughts?
@OrchidWhisperer

Hi Kristina! If it were my orchid, I would keep it in moss since it's doing well in moss. I've never tried water culture with a strip of cloth the way you've described, so I don't know if I would do that. If the orchid is happy, just keep doing what it's used to. Happy growing! :)

I also heard you say you are from Tn, so maybe that could be a factor as well. : ) My favorite flower is an orchid, and have never been successful in keeping one alive, until 2 years ago. I saved it from near death, I found it at Kroger in the clearance bin for $2, and it looked pretty sad. I brought it home and with a little TLC its done great. I have been so proud of it and it is still thriving. I was thinking I would be too scared of converting it to water culture but after watching this, I told my husband, I have to have another one. So, next stop Kroger floral department! Thanks again for the video.

Actually, if you purchase an orchid with roots sticking out of the top and you decide to repot it, try to make sure those roots are still sticking out of the top of the pot once the orchid has been repotted. They are called air roots, and are necessary for the plants survival. Epiphyte orchids use their roots to absorb nutrients from the air. They also absorb moisture and get the carbon dioxide they need to thrive directly from the air. This unique root system uses the humidity around it to get the water and nutrients it needs to survive.
