while not disturbing the roots is good, many people use sphagnum moss as the main potting medium, which can break down within a few years, and getting so acidic and rotten that it actively kills off the roots. So I'd say its half n half, you shouldnt repot too often, but you definitely shouldnt shy away from it when you have to

“Start fighting”🤣🤣🤣. Merry Christmas wishes from a very cold Sunday morning in Sarasota🥶

I have the sickness 😷

I'm in zone 9 in florida, and i'm thinking about getting a greenhouse to winter my orchids in.

That orchid is called a scorpion orchid.

Also, please do a video about how to mount them to wood. I've seen a lot of people put a giant mound of sphagnum moss under or on the roots and then mount them on the wood. I'm not sure if that is the correct way of doing it or not.

Can you do a video on terrestrial orchids?

Nnnnoooo

What do you think about coco choir?

The orchid nursery close to me has RIDICULOUS prices.

Roundup is horrible for the environment. It should be banned altogether imo.

I like the algae on the pots

You should get a quick connect for your spray nozzle.

Hi I’m new on your channel and I love it. If you don’t mind can you let me know why Renanthera orchids leaves are all turning yellow? I bought that plant about 3 weeks ago. Thank you.

So you don't put moss under, around or on it?

I hate potted orchids

I'm in N central fl zone 9. Should i water or not?

Do you have a video on putting orchids on wood?

Well Dave, Australia here. Tight ass orchid hobbyist. The big/deep terracotta pots are fine if you fill the bottom to medium section with pumice and styrofoam. These will not hold the water and will not rot. The reason for getting the deep pots (in Australia at least) is that they’re half the price of the shallow (bulb) pots. Styrofoam is everywhere and free. Must use some bark or moss near the top to hold onto nutrients and also for aesthetics. Keep up the animated enthusiasm Dave. You’re very entertaining mate.

Dave, I have run into the same issues with dendrobiums. So many sources say to not water or fertilize the nobile types. Local growers just cut back on the fertilizer. Palm Harbor checking in and also use my pool lanai for most of my weeds.

I am in Malaysia, about 50 kilometre from Kuala Lumpur. Love to watch your RUclips, learned a lot. Thank you . I will visit Thailand one day, to buy some of their orchids , roses and lilies.

Merry Christmas 🎄 and thank you for sharing .Happy growing 😊

Do you cut off the death trap basket around the aerial roots? I got mine from Lowe's.

Most of my dendrobiums are mounted and they love it, and I live in Sarasota like you❤

Hi Dave😄🙌Oh, those hard cand dendrobiums 'Are' really cold sensitive, that's why I hardly ever see them for sale here in Japan. My dendrobium nobiles are enjoying this cold weather. It's been very Sunny and at night the temperatures go down to about 28.4°C fahrenheit. They don't mind one bit and they are even holding onto their leaves😳Some have buds and yes, I don't water them for 4 months unless there is the unexpected rain which happens very rarely and at that time usually the temperature will go up for a day, then I will follow and give them some water. The tip on cattleyas was something I didn't know. I do know that repotting phalaenopsis can set back flowering if you pull out all the medium and repot it bare-rooted.

Thank you for sharing.

Great video 🎉

The yellow Cattleya is very likely Rlc. Goldenzelle 'Lemon Chiffon'. It's a gorgeous plant! Enjoy all the information from your videos.

I have killed many orchids in the twenty years I have been growing them. I have saved the tags. I call them my Collection of Sadness. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you Dave and Merry Christmas

New sub, attempting to save a neglected grocery store orchid. I’m not religious myself, but orchids are definitely divine, and your excellent advice is “heaven sent” so to speak. 😜 Understanding their natural habitat and hence their needs really helps a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

Nobiles are really confusing to me. Trying the rest in TX.

The large yellow cattleya looks a little like my Chelsea red tips

Hi Dave Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have a blessed day. Ps. My Dens are flowering now also. I live in Miami. 😊

I have a Terete (skinny Vanda you showed), and she's been growing full sun 🌞 in the Caribbean. Some roots are attached to a wall behind it. Not even the roots are burnt. Teretes are incredible orchids. Full sun 24/7, all year long.

I became a fan of using lava rock after killing off dendrobiums & phals in bark with too much water with micro fibre wicks. Now I wait 2-3 days after the wick is dry before flushing my orchids & they're growing happily.

Hey Dave, you are quickly becoming my favorite orchid youtuber. You are very lucky to have so much space and such a good climate. I hope I wasn't ever too harsh with any of my comments, I don't know what others have said but all I ever wanted to point out was that others are often wrong which I know I mentioned, it probably didn't come out right. and not to trust the first thing you hear but that is what I like about your approach which susprises me a lot as a religious guy trusting one book, one belief. But I do not want to start a fight as you said. Christmas time is the time of giving and friendship. Anyway I think we all have to constantly figure out what works best for us. I couldn't do mounted cause I can't water that often and if I go on holiday I don't have a plant sitter to water them. I'm sure the cattleya's will do fine, they generally prefer mounted, it just sets them back temporarily but so does repotting which I have to do too because the media they come with would not work for my environment either. Hope the christmas time is not too stressful. All the best.

Thanks Dave, great tips. 🇦🇺

Love this…I’m always learning 🇯🇲

I found that if you wait and mount the Cattleya when the new roots start to grow you will experience a less setback.

❤ for sharing ,A the orchids are gorgeous

My nobile dendrobium's are budding OMG😊😊😊

I have mounted orchids to tennis racket and paddle ball rackets the roots grow thru the webbing and they do grow and flower i live in broward county i wish o had your sunlight my neighbor has a big mango tree that blocks the sun love your videos

Buds just melted inside the sheeths. Sheeths turned brown, two years in the row! What would be a reason?

The one you didn’t have a label for looks like a Zygonisia Cynosure Blue Birds!
