- Today it's story time! We will talk about one of the most important orchids I ever owned.. and lost.. and now I own again!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
A while back I talked about my very few orchid regrets and Smile Eri was one of them • My only 2 regrets rega...
Here is how she looked when I purchased it • New Orchids - Beallara...
There are a few things that this orchid has taught me. First of all, that I seriously dislike pesticides and other similar things! • Product Review - Mospi...
Get rid of aphids • Home made insecticide ...
Get rid of mites • How to get rid of spid...
Where to buy orchids from • Where to buy orchids? ...
I also learned not to listen to other people if I think otherwise, no matter how much they say they know, no matter how old, how reputable or authoritarian they are.. No matter what! and I found the video on that • Beallara Orchid update...

Ps: I edited out this part in the video cos it was very long :)) next week I'm switching to a 3 videos per week schedule at least for a while. I'm happy to see that you guys are mostly very ok with that from the poll in the community tab. So.. until I will get an editor, or help with filming, I want to focus on more quality videos, better filming, more dynamic etc and that takes time. All my most popular vids are the more informative ones, look at the latest orchid for beginners, 100k views in 2 weeks, c'mon lol not all videos will get that, but I feel like I am overloading you with vids that I know are not my best. Soooo.. I'll see how it goes, how the revenue will be impacted lol and I'll reconsider if it won't work out. But I hope it will be better for everyone. Better you guys miss me than be fed up with me lol 😋
Good
Who said we are fed up ?! We like all your video's ! For some (including me) I am sure your video's are a daily joy ! You are smart, truly intuitive orchid grower ! Truly an orchid whisperer ! I've learned so much from you ! And by the way, I gave up watching other youtubers' channels about orchids... they say mostly crazy and confusing things anyway ! :) I've said it before... you are sooooo good at what you are doing ! No wonder so many people follow you !
Hey Dani I have recently (last month) acquired a belleara tahoma glacier and I live in Cyprus too! I have it in semihydro in leca and it's kinda stalled (roots are not dying ,psdbulbs were shriveled from the beginning, but it doesn't grow her new growths that are dormant ) Should I pot her in bark selfwatering?
My oldest son got my mother and I orchids 2 years ago for mother's day and mine looks like it is dying. Is there anything I can do to save it as it means the world to me?
We love you and all but I agree 100%. Better for your health and I hope it'll benefit your channel too. Quality over quantity! Exciting to get big enough to need an editor! Congrats and happy hunting! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! i Love hearing orchid stories :D
Hello Dani, Thank you very much for all your videos. I have not watched them all yet, but I will. I appreciate that you share your knowledge both success and failure. I'm very new to growing orchids (2years) Thank very much for taking most of the fear out of the hobby for. 😃
Wow. I can totally relate to this video. It is one of the reasons I don't like "groups" or "forums" and the like. It seems as though no matter how carefully you ask "Why?" someone always gets "grumpy" or "Snarky". How sad. I also find so much contradictory information, which is just confusing.
Hi Beallara Smile Eri! Welcome back! Thanks for helping your mom learn so much about Orchids!
Marlow orchids, in Rochester NY? That's where I go for all my orchid stuff. They have taught me so much along with you! Watching your channel and videos on reporting gave me the confidence to do it myself and when I brought them into Marlow they were very suprized at how well they looked! What a small world it is for orchid growers! Thank you!
I love your orchid tales about individual orchids and the “adventures” you have with them. I am new to orchids and think I have fallen in love with them all! But I am terrified of losing even one. I know it will happen. What is the saying? You haven’t learned about orchids until you’ve lost 100.... I have a few “rescue” plants I found at my work in corners months after they were gifted to someone, as well as on back shelves at our local home and garden stores. For some reason, I took them in as if they were stray cats! Your channel has helped me learn so much about keeping these neglected and discarded orchids alive. Thank you so much for your hard work, your commitment and passion for this most beautiful of plants.
Yea she's back😉
Hi Danny, Wow that's awesome that you got this Beallara all the way from Upstate NY! Congrats on getting her back, and good luck with her!!! Sending you lots of love from NY! 🥰
You bring out a lot of good points in this video! Bravo!
Thank you for sharing your story, beautiful orchid 😃
I LOVE Marlow's Orchids. They have great customer service/are very responsive about orchid care tips. I've ordered orchids from them and I live in Massachusetts.
Dany u are a good story teller. Love the way you shared your experience with us. ♥️
Hi Danny! I just repotted my first orchid of what I hope to be many! I love all your videos! You have definitely inspired me 👍
I liked the story format....
And good news! Today i recieved my Vanda Robert's Delight 'Ink star' in tip top condition yeayy
Hi Danny, I'm really glad I found your channel. It gives me the necessary answers to some questions I had regarding my 'older' orchids and their well-being. But the reason I was searching for answers is because I recently received a Phalaenopsis Grandiflora 'Tsarine' orchid. That is a giant orchid for me, I think it weights around 10 kg. I received it as a wedding gift, but had to leave it for a week in a place which was too hot. That resulted in the loss of most of its flowers. So now I'm searching for info about how to take good care of this giant plant, but there's not much to be found. If you have any experience with this kind of orchid, I'd be happy to hear about it. Also for future care, soaking and repotting seem almost impossible with the 'Tsarine'. So tips and tricks about that would be much welcome.
Salutari din Belgia ;)
Nice. I remember that orchid.
Hi Danny you're videos are awesome I'm always waiting for ur new video's 💐💐
Interesting discussion. I'll be interested in seeing how this orchid does.
You have so much here than just the information on the beautiful "Smile Eri". Great to hear how it all started 😊
P.S. You have to look up Blrra Ysabella Lunar Eclipse!! 🥰 Thank you for all your videos!
Danny I was the first few viewers of your channel!!!
Thanks for sharing your story AND you are not so wrong about insecticides and pesticide..... my ex husband is a gardener but he was never careful when using them and he prematurely lost his hair and he and some collection gardeners have some respiratory problems. So! Better safe than sorry ....so we say in America 😊
Omg!! You crack me up sometimes.. hahaha the insecticide story .. lol sounds like my stories!!
I love💕 your channel I have been a subscriber for years when you had your orchids on your porch. Thanks to you I have 9 healthy orchids. Wish I could post a pic here. Thanks and keep the videos coming.💯🥰
Hi Danni, thanks so much for sharing your story. I can relate on so many levels. 😷
Hi Danny! I'm really curious about your cattleya seedlings. Seedling update please :)
I wish I could keep orchids alive. So beautiful
I'd like to see a video on the bags of fertilizer! Thank you for all your sharing!!
Thank you so much for information!!!! I learn so much from you!!! Also what is the ratio of hydrogen Peroxide and water? Again... thank you! You are awesome!
Hi, thanks! 😁 if you buy the 3% concentration you can use it straight from the bottle. I wouldn't use higher concentrations :)
Thank you for telling us your story .💕
I loved this story! I have been a subscriber for only a few months but you have taught me soo much! I think the most important thing about asking “why” or for documented proof - is for real understanding. I think to truly learn how to be a good orchid grower - the whys are very important. We all can’t just accept blanket statements as fact without understanding the thought behind it because we all live in different environments, have different habits as growers, etc. it’s more important to learn how to adapt the info you’ve received to your own personal situation - and one cannot do that without understanding the “why”. ---That being said: You fleetingly mentioned that the mask you were using for this orchid was “too tight.” Can you elaborate on this? What would the best fit be? I have mostly phals but also one cattleya and one den phal that’s sadly dehydrated from rotting roots😟. Wondering if the mask I’m using is partially responsible.
Hi, thank you and I agree! 😁 Here's a whole video on the masks ruclips.net/video/Owl8-EeIrZY/видео.html hope it helps!
Hi Danny Lovely story and nice look into this channel. I’ve seen another channel who does computer repairs and build live sometimes for over three hours at a clip and he has moderators controlling the trolls. But he sometimes have to remove the moderators when they become too entitled and controlling. I bought my oncidium heaven scent from Marlow Orchids, and in a year has flowered twice and is spiking a third time. He’s usually at orchid shows on the east coast of the United States particularly the Deep Cut Orchid show and North Jersey Orchid Society Orchid Show at beginning of each year. Hope your Beallara will do well and await update. Oh just gotten my dendrobium cuthbertsonii from mountain orchids in Vermont and came in the most adorable miniature clay pot. Hope you’ll put a tutorial on this little guy soon.
I totally agree about the forums, one of my other interest is honeybees, I have 10 hives. I learn a lot online, but not agree with everything. A lot of what people suggested, I think is designed to make you spend more money than you need to. And if you say I don’t believe that, wow people just come out and attack you, it’s crazy. So totally agree better to pick and choose what makes sense logically and don’t get involved, you are not going to change those types of people and it will only make you annoyed and angry. Thank you for what you do and sharing your tips and experiences
Hi Dani! Love your videos & love your storytimes. I've been collecting orchids for about a year now & absolutely love your channel. I have an orchid that I am trying to identify. I'm thinking it may be a zygopetalum or an oncidium type but am not sure. Is there a way I can send you pictures of the roots and orchid itself to see if you can help with identifying it? Thank you.
Hi Danny!^^ I've a Beallara too, my first oncidium, but the leaves started to yellowing :(( I don't know what did I wrong, too much water because it decided to start to grow 4 new bulb (o.o'), or because that I didn't gave enought water, or its normal, because growing 4 new, and the old ones losing their leaves? :( But the lowermost leafe of the oldest new is look like to started to yellowing. Can you please advise me what can I do differently? :(( And sorry for the grammar, I'm not too good in english ^^'
I must say, I completely understand your outrage on people just giving "advice" without any explanation. Like "you have to use potting mix for houseplants"... why? It takes a looong while to find explanations on most forums, people just spread these "truths". And truth is, all those things are true, BUT given the right situation. Turns out the only reason people say you should use potting mix is that it contains particles that make it more airy, cause obviously you don't have earthworms (I think that's the english translation of what I mean) to make your soil more airy and without the added particles the soil compacts and suffocates the roots.
I am a "science" person, I mean I like to experiment and find out not only if something works, but more importantly WHY it works. And every information that lacks explanation of why it works just gives me headaches and irritates me.
I appretiate your channel exactly because you give explanations of why something works for you and why other things don't work for you. Because when I have exact reasons what went wrong or well, I can add it to my experience and draw conclusions.
Loyalty is so hard to find that's why I stick with my pups. The most loyal in my life.
I'm having problems with my orchids, they're the most common type. I transplanted these 2 in the winter because they're medium was broken down and staying soggy. One of them, the largest has all the growth on one side! It seems it wants to fall over to one side where it's got the longest, heaviest leaves and the roots are all coming out of the pot. I transplanted into a larger , wider clay pot but it won't stay in it. Do I need a bigger pot or put the roots down on the bottom.of the pot then add the wood chip growing medium? They're just not growing or doing well like they used to.
I just don't know what to do with them.
Can I cut more of the roots so the they'll stay in the pot? I know it's good for a few roots to grow out from the top but the one is falling out of the pot with lots of roots growing upward and out.
Any tips?
Hi has it got scent
Hi Danny, why don't you use semi-hydro?
Haw is your orchi today
Hey Danny pls help, recently I bought a 8 watt grow bulb,blue red one,for my oncidium and miltoniopsis,but after keeping them in that light for somedays,there leafs start browning at tip and it's increasing,it's happening to all of them,I keep bulb close to plants,not too close,but lil up above the plants,so they get maximum amount of light,what is going wrong??why this is happening??is that light intensity to much?or should I have to increase the distance??pls help...🙏🙏🙏 and bulb is not heating up...
How often do you water them,?

I Love this video!
Thanks for sharing
I don’t remember that orchid, I think I started watch your channel back in 2014/2015. Always thought it was funny back then, you didn’t want to show your face, but for some reason you had a photo of your face on all of the intros of your videos.
Love it
Hi Danny. Are you and your bf ever going to get married? And can you and him introduce him in on me of your vids? I think slot of us are curious. 😂
