I'm so glad I found your channel. I already learnt a lot from you. I have a few orchids and one of them is a Rhynchostylis. I had two of them but one died very quickly after I had them. They both didn't have the best roots, from what I could see, but I didn't know what I could do about it. After watching a few of your video's, I decided to keep the one that was left, bare rooted in its pot. I can't hang it somewhere, so that seemd the best solution. I got rid of the bark and could see that many roots were rotting and dead. So I cut them of and kept the once that felt firm and/or looked good. It's about 1,5 week ago that I did that and today I saw new root growth! I am so happy right now. So thank you for your helpfull video's. And now it's time to address my Phalaenopsis with black edges along some leaves.
Hi Dani,I have been watching your videos for some time now and I usually follow your instructions and I’m pleased they work every time . Thank you orchid lover
Just wanted to say thank you. I received an orchid for mother's day, 2 years ago. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to keep it alive. As I have had failures w many in past years. I do love my house plants, I have many plants from my adult children. Although not any successful orchids. I found you while searching online for any instructions to keep this one alive. It was blooming when I received it. Plus another bloom shortly afterwards. Thanks to you , 2 years later it's still thriving. I haven't had anymore blooms. But the plant is living and has grown a new pair of leaves. Very small leave set. But nonetheless, has had some growth. I did cut the flowering spike off the plant. Idk if that's why I have not had another bloom. But I'm still loving the plant. Thanks again for all the advise.
I have an orchid that has rust looking stuff on the tips of all leaves and the tips are splitting. There are places on the leaves that look like warts whitish sandy color. The aerial roots look like they are dying at the point of origin but green at the tips where they get into water at times.🤷♂️It has been in the kitchen window for three years and has done great but it has been getting late afternoon/evening sun that seems to have not bothered it in the past but it hasn’t been this hot. I have your videos liked and set to give all notifications but I don’t always see them or get them🤷♂️, the only way I see some is when I go to uTube and look for answers. How can I get information on my problems if I can contact you. I’m 77 but I still know some things about an iPad I’m just slow.🙁🙃 Thank you for all that you teach us and for trying to help. Emails won’t work because I have given up due to the spam and just general junk! I just deleted 10,000 and I have over 700 in just about a month.
I have a leaf that was split at the base because a spike grew thru the leaf. Now one half of the split is detached at the base. Is it time for me to remove the entire leaf? I’m very new to all this so thank you in advance for any advice.
Hi Dani! Thank you for sharing this video and your knowledge. I have a Phalaenopsis and wanted to share with you the pictures of the damage on the bottom leaves, but I can't do it on the comments, so I have followed your advise and cut them both. I cleaned the scissors first, with vodka and put some cinnamon to the wounds. This seems to happen every year, to the bottom leaves. I thought it was due to the leaves touching the surface they were on, as the pot is short and they hang. Would you recommend I put my orchid on a taller pot, perhaps? I have a macrame hanging basket. Would that be better for it? The damage I had was just brown, but was creeping up slowly. It seems to always do it when the buds are forming. I thought it was a way of saving it energy, by dropping a leaf to make some buds, but I see that it is not the case, by your video. The damage I had, was dark brown, dry but not completely, and some small protruding pimples on that area, specially when you looked from underneath. I have my Phalenopsis in an empty ceramic pot and soak them once a week in water (now, room temperature rain water, before I watched your videos, cold tap water or sometimes tap water that had been sitting for a week or so in a bottle). Would you recommend buying some medium and having them in a clear pot? Anyway, thank you very much for your videos. I can't "YT Thank" but I am subscribed and always make sure I Like your videos. Good luck with your channel. You are doing great :) I'd like to see your face 1 day. Come and say hi even if for 1 second, on your videos... 😺💚
Thank you for your videos, how do you treat a serious infestation of mealy bugs, this happened while I was on holiday, so it had time to spread to all of my 30 orchids. 😩
Accidentally I was watering the plant and it was dusty on the leaves and by accidentally I snipped the center of the orchid and I don’t know what to do with it. I dipped it in water right away but please help me. I don’t wanna lose this orchid because it gives me beautiful flowers.
I’m a beginner to orchid care, but MissOrchidGirl has a video about recovering orchids from shock. But what I can say is be careful about giving the orchid too much water or getting the leaves wet because they are different from flowers like roses that like a vase of water. And also, be patient with yourself and your orchid! I can imagine it’s been a stressful week but orchid’s take time to recover
Thank you for all that you do. I am learning a lot from. I am new to orchids

Hi Dani. Happy Canada Day! Thank you for all the info you have shared over the years.

Loved this video! This is first time in a while you showed one of your oncidiums, was wondering if you could make an update video on them 😄

If leaves remain small it may mean the plant is missing something. Try repotting, good watering, good sunlight and a fertiliser
This was very helpful as I do have tip damage and now I know what not to do!
You are such a good at giving information & instructions on orchid care. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 😃🌺🌺🌺

My friend, have a good day
Hi Dani! I have a Phal Gigabel that has old leaves that go like this too. They are a bit more dramatic in leaf damage/loss than regular Phals.
Very beautiful flower very informative video 👍
For leaves where there is damage on the side of the leaf, should I cut around it or should I cut all the way across the leaf?
Dani, I noticed clear droplets on the flower stem…what is that? I’ve had it before very sticky. Thx
that gigantea hybrid is so prettyyyyyy
Thank you for your videos, how do you treat a serious infestation of mealy bugs, this happened while I was on holiday, so it had time to spread to all of my 30 orchids. 😩
My dog broke the tip of my leaf on my orchid should I cut it off or leave it alone
I always use cinnamon. I have some dedicated just for my plants in my tools area next to peroxide lol
This was sooo good! Thank you! 😍
Thanks!
