- Don't throw away your dead dry old orchids.You can bring them back to life. If you happen to have have damaged or sick orchids without crown or leaves al all. This situation when orchids can loose their crown called crown loss and became as a result of many mistakes of orchids care such as crown rot due to overwatering, parasites such a scales, influence of very low below 10 degrees Celsius temperature. In most cases orchids thrown away in to the garbage and not so many people know that there is a chance for orchids to rejuvenate. And monopodial phalenopsis orchids stems can produce keikis on what is left after crown loss. Just investigate your plant before throwing and if damaged orchids still have some healthy roots it has a chance to regrow. #OrchidsCare #orchids #Phalaenopsis #OrchidsForBeginners #PhalaenopsisOrchids #orchidaceae #orchidrepotting #orchidroots #orchidlover #phalenopsis
Aerial roots of the orchids like a roots of other epiphytes don’t really need substrate because they can absorb water and nutrients from the air. Aerial roots covered with sponge like looking tissue-velamen. They also contain chlorophyll and participating in photosynthesis. That fact make leafless orchids keep growing without leaves. Roots aren’t growing into substrate , but rather out of or on the surface of substrate using it just to attach themselves to it as for support. Having this knowledge I created simple way to save damaged, crown-less, leafless orchids.

I was given a very abused orchid and I was about to throw it out when I found this video! She has been in intensive care for a couple months but I think she's going to survive and thrive! Thank you for posting this video.
Did u work?
I have had an orchid for over a year now that refuses to die, no matter the crap it goes through! All the roots died, it got moldy, it got dry, all the leaves fell off. I swear I thought it was dead a dozen times by now. I started propagating it in water, and now it’s finally starting to grow new flowers! I can’t even believe it tbh.
Good I got one she's almost 20 years from my mom she flowers very slow but always alive 👍
I’ve thrown out many healthy orchids and I’m sorry! 😢
I have one that is almost the same, almost ten years, after years last year finally gave me two keikis. Hope soon can see flowers.
I have the same experience with 2 of mine is why I can't believe anyone actually killed an orchid.
How did you propagate in water? You just put the dying orchid in a glass of water?
I am asking, because I have an orchid that is just struggling. It is always on the brink of death and I don't know why? All my other orchids are doing fine. I am now looking for a way to save that struggling orchid and finally get it to be stable 👀
My husband always brought me home orchids (mostly Phals.)from his work after they were done flowering because the plant service they used would throw them away! I got so pissed when he told me that and he started bringing them to me. I got almost all of them to reflower for years. I also go to garden centers and buy the most pathetic looking orchids and african violets and nurse them back to health. Wonderful video!!!❤️
I just tie the to trees and they do great! (Hot, humid climate)
How Useful! I could actually rescue those Mother’s Day orchids my friends get from the grocery store After they’ve died two months later? I wanna hug you !
I've rescued a few from my mother in law's black thumb.
Thank you so much for this video! Thanks to your guidance I was able to bring my mother-in-law's orchid back from the brink of death (I'm not exaggerating!), and it's been growing new roots and leaves for about 6 months now. But it hasn't produced a flower stalk. It lost its one stalk during its near-death experience; I'd love to see it flower again now that M-I-L has passed away.
My condolences on the passing of your mother in law.
@@Classyflowers Thank you. :-) Can you guide me in getting it to flower (getting it to produce a flower stalk)? Thanks again.
Here the video explaining why orchids do not produce blooms: ruclips.net/video/ZtFlCfeFebQ/видео.html
I firmly believe that keeping orchids alive is a black art, and probably involves midnight sacrifices to he with no name.
lol!
One should be careful when speaking of the Dark Secret and He who Greens
Brilliant, made me laugh so hard 😅
😂🤣🤣 Much easier than you think
@@orchidsdiary4397. You would say that, wouldn’t you, the plastic ones last a long time!🤓
A followup video showing the orchid that was brought back to life would be very convincing
@Pete The orchid with keiki at the end looks like a different orchid from the beginning which had fewer roots
@@sunflowerhk100 Spot on, that's what I saw.
It works, but in reality, if a person can't keep an established orchid alive, they've got no chance of keeping a keiki alive from the point the plant is at there!
I had a dead vanda throw a keiki cause I hadn't got around to cleaning out the pot & had just left it hanging outside where it had died. Keiki suffered the same fate as the adult did
So, it was not the same orchid.. she was like lying ?
I've made my collection on that.
I had an orchid that died from my inexperienced mistakes. First, I almost killed it by overwatering. By the time I got it back to good health, I was too scared to overwater it again, but I believe I ended up killing it by allowing too much time in between watering and it got too dry. I thought it was dead for good after all the leaves dropped, and the roots were all dried hard like sticks. I set it aside because I was going to use it in a terrarium because it made a good dead fallen tree by the little stream. Anyway, I noticed one day there was a tiny leaf popping up from the dead base of the plant, just off to the side. I looked closer and it was a fully formed baby orchid growing, with new tiny roots starting to poke thru. I never watered it, and was careful when misting the terrarium to not get it too wet as I didn't want it to get all floppy and rot. Looks to have gotten just the right amount of moisture from the terrarium and light bits of misting. I couldn't believe it. It was "dead" forever. Like, months. Plants always amaze me.
Omg!!! Ive been growing orchids for 30 years and the way the environment is getting I've been wondering why my orchids have been dying off your video is a lifesaver...... I never knew that all the ones that have been dying off even though I go outside in the morning and the evening and by the way I live in Palm Bay on the east coast of Florida the environment has been so wild I've lost so many but you've given me hope thank you!!!! You rock
Iv done what you are doing I never new this but iv just regrown the roots new leaf I’m so happy
I could listen to you talk plant science all day.
I am currently trying this. Fingers crossed because I really want to save my orchid. Is a really special one for me. Thank you for this video ❤
A friend gave me 2 orchid plants when they were blooming, and I have been watching your videos so I can learn how to grow them right.... I happen to have those 2 glass Vases !!! Exactly like the ones you have!
YOU are a Godsend...
I was just now watering all my flowers and saw that an old orchid was looking punnie
I was thinking about letting it go... I will give this a try.
Thank YOU so much for all your great knowledge and sharing this wonderful video.
How cool! I’m so excited as I watched a tutorial on orchids last spring after the valentine blooms were all done and now I’ve got what I pretty sure are 2 flower spikes coming off of it! It’s my baby and I’m so excited!
How is your orchid doing now? :)
You put your orchids in mosspital.
🤭
my orchid got too cold when I was unable to go home from my parents house after lockdown hit, paired with the heating being broken, and she looks absolutely dead but I haven't had the heart to throw her away since I love her so much and I was so sad about her. I'm really hopeful about trying this, thank you so much !!
did it work?
hows it going? We *need* to know!
Can you share the result?
I had one that looked absolutely dead, but I kept watering and moved it out of the very sunny window it had been in, it is now sprouting a tiny leaf.
So handy, I just received my 1st orchid plant as a gift & had no idea how to look after it.
Fantastic, it looks like I've finally found a real how to grow orchid channel.
a moment of silence for all the orchid homies I've thrown out over the years. RIP
😔.... same here
🤣 for real!
LOL! me too.
We didn’t know 😭
Guys please watch how I got rid of them successfully:ruclips.net/video/0aioauAQ5uo/видео.html
My daughter destroyed my girlfriend's last year and in hope of it still being alive have been giving it's ice cubes almost every week. It's still green but wasn't sure how to help more. After watching I'm gonna replant and pray for a miracle, maybe some moss too
Paula from Mexico, it is now 5 months. There are two babies, one is starting roots, still very small. The moss isn’t doing well because it doesn’t get direct sun. It gets light from window. Some days I take the plant out and put the vase outside in sun light for maybe half hour, bring it back in and put plants back in.
great idea thanks
Your setup with living moss is so beautiful.
This was some great information but alas my poor orchids went to file 13 a couple of weeks ago. I hope that I have better luck in the future. Thank you for sharing.
I'm totally gonna try this. My house is always too dry for them so trying your technique seems like the way to go
I
Hi from Western Australia and happy new year 2021. Thanks all of that info. I rescued my neighbours old "dead orchids" he had trown to the tip. Now 1/2 doz folk around our little town share what was once his pride and joy. But never having been an orchid grower mine survive more by good luck than good management so I will check out some more of your sites 🙏💜
I don't even have any orchids yet I watched the whole video. I'll try to remember this stuff if I ever get one
I threw away an orchid I believe had crown rot, leaves turned yellow and fell off however the roots were a healthy green and growing. I wish I had seen this video before I tossed the orchid in the trash
Thanks from all the Italians orchiaddicts and our orchids. Your videos are very usefull !!!👍
I was given one 5 years ago by an ex, it's still healthy and beautiful, it started flowering in February and now in June it still hasn't finished. I've bought other plants that just die but not my orchid.
Perhaps you should revisit that relationship?
If using live moss helps them recover, is it also good just to keep them in live moss once they are adult plants?
I grow all my phalaenopsis in a glass vase in best spagum moss available....Very successfully....
@@bevcar9982 Like New Zealand spagnum moss?
It would have been nice to see the before and after of the actual orchid, It would help to see the journey.
Finally! A humane use of a fishbowl!
And thanks for the tips about the tips. I keep telling people they give up too quick. I had no idea it went this far though.
orchids a smarter & more sentient than fish are. Do you know plants scream when they're deprived of water? They scream non-stop for days or weeks until they die! Because human ears can't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't matter!
What a precious information!
Thanks for your sharing.
I tired saving up my dendrobium, no roots and no leaves but still alive. I just cut the cane in half and instead of moss, i used cocopeat. Takes longer time though but after 3 months it sprouted keikis.
I wish I knew everthing you do about Orchiads! My fiancee bought me a 40 dollar beautiful dark blue and dark purple one and its was fine, reblooming from the same pot.. and when he went of town, the petals fell off and I am still devasted! I did what ur video said althought I had to work with what came with it, Im havent gotten around to the clear pot and correct potting soil which I am going to do, but the leaves are big and beautiful at the bottom and when I took it apart it has a black rotten band around the outer and I cleaned it, cut all the dead roots off and I even got bark pieces anyways my mom told me to cut the healthy green stake and it had buds on it, so I cut it... and nothing else so far, it does have a new leaf bloomed on top of the other leaves.. Im trying so hard to keep tis orchard alive and I havent seen it bloom back yet..
Great video! I've been re-obsessed (always loved them since I was little) with orchids (especially phals) recently, and I love finding so many cool orchid people on YT now!! Happy to add you to my watch list :) ✨💚
Thank you for your advice. I was successful in reviving my dead orchid. I'm curious with the next step is. I assume I replant it in orchid bark?
Wow, I love you for posting this!! Just losed my favourite yellow Phalenopsis. I will try it. Hope it works. Many thanks!
Did it work?
@@emilehoffmann hey, unfortunate it was too late. The crown and the roots were dessicated. If you have at least one green root, there might be a chance
Lots of orchids are history under my watch. I cannot get one to live, and I love them.
Very very informative. I had no idea that a dead orchid could be revived and multiply.
I have an orchid that is about 10 years old and has hardly any roots, most of them died off and some were dead and moldy so I cut them off. All its leaves have fallen off except for one leaf bud. And the crown is kind of yellow.
I have moss growing all over the place at my house, but I was wondering if it matters which moss I use?
And also if there is any tips you could give me, I would really love that!
This orchid is very special and I would be sad to see it go after all these years.
Thank you for all your videos.
I have moth and phalebopsis orchids. Not sure what to cut off because I can't find any white roots so I went ahead with this anyway and praying to mother nature that I can revive my babies
Some of my Phal. orchids had the same problem.
The adult ones could grow back naturally (I attached them to trees). I'm gonna try this for the younger ones. Thanks!
Now looking up for your spagnum moss video.
I read you can buy it from a florist
I work in a grocery store with a floral department and we sell many orchids. I will be sharing your suggestions with them. Tfs!
Please do!
Just found this video. Thank you so much for showing everything and explaining the process so well!
I love it when people find little tricks & pass them ON,,
It's important that we don't
WASTE.👍🏼🖖🏼✌🏼
Overconsumption will destroy our planet.
Paula from Mexico. I am on month 3. I have two plants, no roots yet. But working on it. There are two other nubs forming. I do cover mine a little while everyday because it is cold here. Thank you 🙏
Such a professional video and explanation! I've been doing this similarly with Anthurium with quite some success
amazing how people can know things like this 🌷👍
Hi ad no idea. Love it. Now I am feel guilty for throwing my last 2. I have one since April. Ty
Amazing! I totally never knew this; nor would I have ever guessed.
I read a sure fire way to spark an orchid to flower is for a snap of cold. It works!
THANK YOU 🙏 FOR SHARING THIS WITH US 🙏💕😊
I once had a miniature orchid sitting on my window sill in my kitchen. Of course, it had beautiful blooms on it. Later, as expected, the flowers died and I cut off the spike. After a while, I pretty much ignored it. Eventually, I decided to throw it away since it had fallen into the sink a couple times, and I had given it up for dead. Luckily, I looked at it before I pitched it, and low and behold, it was starting to grow a very small new leaf. It survived for quite a time after that and grew a few more leaves. Never flowered, but was still really cute. Sometimes, they are tougher than you think.
Cool 😎 I just picked up my second orchid today and it is a miniature
Thanks so much for this video. You have saved the life of my 11 year old orchid. The original roots have re-hydrated and new leaves have grown out of the original crown (plus a flower stem is budding on the other side) rather than growing a whole new new baby plant. Should I just leave it in the glass vase with the moss from now on, rather than in a pot with orchid compost? It seems so happy now.
My orchard is in critical condition now 😭. Thank you this video. 😄👍
I did exactly what you said and one of them came back it's beautiful and another one has all roots and that's it and another one I'm not sure should I cut the stem and separate these roots the stem looks like it's dead
I can also learn English from you ,it is so crystal clear ! 😀
Thank you so much I really appreciate your time the this was most helpful and useful too.
Thanks so much exactly what happen with my orchid going to try
My orchids plant is green leaves keep growing but flowers dont come.
@@reenachauhan4482 does it get cooler temps that “force” it to grow spikes?
I was given one for Mothers Day now I need to learn how to take care of it..
Learn something new every day. Thank you for sharing your inspiration...
What fungicide do you use before repotting an orchid with crown rot and no leaves? There are still viable roots. You please advise as I don’t have any moss
I am not sue if my two very small orchids are beyond saving but the roots seem more alive than the upper part of the plant. Thank you will give this a try.
Cassy I have an orchid that is extremely important to me and my family. My twin brother had bought it for my mom 6 years ago. Very sadly He passed away, every year around our birthdays it would bloom and would warm my mother’s heart. But recently it has gone down hill. If you could recommend anything for my specific plant that would be so appreciated, if there is a way to contact you. Thank you for your time and videos ❤️
It depends what is wrong with your orchid. Can you be more specific
All the big leaves slowly died but in the middle 2 little ones sprouted luckily, but it’s been over 8 months now and they haven’t grown. I keep thinking it’s about to start growing and doesn’t. I’ve taken it out of the wood mulch sub straight and observed the roots which looked like they had rotted but a couple small ones were still alive. I re potted it with some spagnum moss on top around me the orchid, with the wood bark mulch below. I wish I could show you a picture. 2 small leaves about a inch long and a little leaf’s trying to sprout in the middle. Does this technique in the video work with dead sphagnum moss you order online? Thank you very much for your time if you read this thank you.
Amazing like others i over watered mine & eventually they ended up in green waste like one comment the tip should be blaze of colour😥 thanks to YOUR advice i just may buy another 🙂
This is an explanation of why am I orchids never seem to die at all they just seem to grow again but I'll be trying this method very soon cuz it's cool
Hey I really hope you can help me with this!
I only have sphagnum peat moss and orchid substrate (pine bark, pine bark hummus, sphagnum peat moss with mineral fertilizer)
Is there any way that these or a combination of these would work with this technique?
Thank you so much in advance for your help, this particular orchid is very important to us!
I love this method.what else can be used instead of spagnum moss
Take a Moment,it's Worth Watching About Orchids.Might Learn Something! Handy Tips and Great Idea's 👍
when I first started getting into Orchids, I'd buy the 'dead/discounted' orchids from places like Home Depot. I only lost one to fungus (and frustration, admittedly) out of a dozen, so it was well worth the time and money. They're surprisingly hardy plants, stubborn, and lovely once you learn to listen to them.
I too entered into orchid growing through specimens sold on clearance at home improvement centers. Just last week I brought home two for $3.00!!! Once they were freed from their packaging and the old media and dead tissue were removed, along with a few days rest, they are already beginning to thrive again. Of course they have both passed through their flowering phase but their leaves are plumping up and their spikes are still healthy.
Of the 22 orchids I have brought home under similar circumstances, only 1 has taken a fatal turn, and that instance was entirely my own fault. I dropped her and her case shattered.... subsequently she developed crown rot in an unseen injury at the base of the crown. Prior to this accident, she was in prime condition.
I’m hoping I can reclaim something from her root ball which still survives.
@@VetsrisAuguste - Spikes? Your orchid has spikes? I have only had a few, but none has been spikey. They have air roots (may have a fancy name that I don’t know of in English) though. Is that what you mean by spikes? Curious... ☺️
@@lottatroublemaker6130
I was referring to the flower spikes (inflorescences) which had faded before I bought these on clearance. They are no longer in bloom as I mentioned above, but they are still quite verdant (the spikes) and the nodes have active bracts so I have left them
alone, opting not to cut them.
It is typical to refer to the inflorescences as “flower spikes” or “spikes” (for short) when discussing orchids in English.
My earlier comment was mostly to do with the general good health of orchids that might otherwise look unhealthy to the untrained eye and not necessarily to do with the overall progress my new Orphan Orchids’ growing cycles. I was tagging onto what had been said by @Lavinia De Mortalium
@@VetsrisAuguste - Thanks a lot, learnt something new about orchids (and English) now! 👏👏👏🤗
@@lottatroublemaker6130 you are welcome.
For additional clarification, the term “flower spike” is not limited to the topic of orchids. Any flowering plant that produces multiple blooms on the same stem will have the term “spike” applied to its inflorescence.
I had 10 stems given by a family member, and 1 of them survived for more than 2 years now with this technic. I used orchid barks instead, not moss. It produces a bud from time to time, but never bloom, they dried up. I don't dare to pull it out to see if there's any root, but it has no leaves either. How does it still stay alive?
Interesting to see this restoration but needed to show further development
She did show the development in the end and what she did with the New plant.
Thank you for your excellent and most informative video. 🌸
Thanks my dear friend for sharing! Very helpful and learning! Enjoy dear and see you around!
Hi, all my roots dried out and the leaves are gone. There was only the bloom stem which previously had been growing and stopped growing and became so dry it is like bark. Is it possible to save this? I followed your instructions except i only have tap water and sphagnum moss. I am also leaving on vacation for 3 weeks. Thanks so much for your help!
What happened next? Does it grow? Perhaps you could show me process of growing? 😊😊
Paula from Mexico. I am doing this, it is about 4 weeks now. I have a few nubs. One is beginning to look like a plant. It is very small, but I can see the forming of leaves. It was a Phaleonopsis that was given to me almost dead. It loss all the leaves, so I thought I am going to try this. It is growing very slow.
Orchids are sloths of the plants world, just be patient they will grow.
Thank you
@@Classyflowers That is a perfect way to describe them! Just starting my orchid adventures - I have one spiking that I managed to keep alive while knowing nothing about their care. I just purchased my second one. Hoping to learn just enough to make this one flourish.
I just found an orchid of my many orchids that is losing its last leaf so I am going to try this to bring it back
Wow this is amazing! I had an a orchid like this but all of the roots were dry. I’ve made a mistake and put it in water to rehydrate it 🤦🏼♀️ some of the roots have went green but seem a little hollow, have I completely ruined it? Is there any way of saving it please?
try following what the video suggests?
Loved your video but I'm convinced I have a black thumb. So black that my husband laughs that nurseries see me coming from afar and plants just hide from me. I can't figure it out. They just die. 😢
Sad😢😢
Help! My 2 orchids previously grew flowers but have grown no flowers in the last yr and a half. I have repotted, fed them, given the plants all the right love and attention but to no avail. The leaves and roots are healthy. The flower stem previously long is short to base of the leaves. It is brown and has been like that for the last yr or so. Could this be the reason why I have no flower?
I have an orchid that was on a tree, but was taken off & damaged. Still has leaves and stem, however all the roots look dead. Would this method work?
How long should we hold out hope this may work? I have two dendrobiums I'm trying to save. Thanks!
Hopefully orchids are thriving at landfills.
😩😂
This makes me so sad!! 😢 (but I like to think they are...)
Nothing but the rats and roaches thrive in that wasteland
@@mstrshkbrnnn1999 , and seagulls!
Just don’t ever go to one...
Thanks for this. Over a week ago I threw out a couple of Phals that had been severely infested with mealy bugs (I may have also gotten depressed and stopped watering them) and died.
Three minutes into your vid I got up and checked outside where I threw them, and one was still alive! It's doubly impressive as it's been in the low 40'sF at night and not that warm during the day. I brought it in, cut off all the dead stuff, put it in a plastic bag with some water, wet the whole thing and poured out the excess water, sealed the bag and put it on my plant shelf for now. I don't have any sphagnum at the moment; hopefully it'll hang on until I can find some.
I'll bet you a nickel it's *not* the one I liked better. :-D
Didn't find...does that mean you pick touy own wild Spagnunm?I did, but its roots smeeled really badly of mould. I cut them off and took the crowns. Will that do, will they grow new roots, or will I have to buy from the florist's? Maybe it has also too much acid, radioactive rain...?
Did you put your whole P plant inside the plasic bag and seal it, or just the root part leaving the top/shoot/growth place out of the plastic bag? Can it grow roots with just plain water, no nourishment? Thanks.
How is it now?
@@saritakhan2394 It died, of course. My own fault. I just don't do orchids anymore.
Yes that true even the orchids flower stems I didn't cut it coz growth again another flowers that's My boss said to Me Im so Amazing to take care the orchids and even different Flowers
I have an orchard that has three new plants on one stem, can I cut the way you did and plant each one into separate pots or can I plant all three into one pot to have a close up growth. 🤔
Thank you for the interesting information! I have some aged orchid plants that could use some love. Now I know how.
I'd love to hear what you think about foliar feeding of orchids and in this case it wouldn't be exactly fully or it would be feeding the roots using a foliar spray
Awesome. I am going to try this with my dead dead plant
What a wonderful topic and program, thank you
Amazing, can you revive the orchid with the moss bought from store? not a fresh one like yours?
Cant imagine how many orchids I’ve thrown away😔
Me too,sad
Sadly, to get them to flower again you have to have the right light and plenty of space if you want more than a couple.
There are a few things to remember.
🌊 For watering put them in water so you are bottom watering them.
⛔Do not get the crown wet.
💧Water every 10 to 14 days.
Let it dry well.
🌬Make sure the water gets out, good drainage is crucial.
🌤It does not need direct light.
🏞If you forget any of these remember how and where they grow.
🏔They grow on other trees a d they get good rain two times per month and they don't need soil and they need tree barks because they grow on trees.
🥀When it blooms and the flowers fall off cut the stem right under the last flower and above the next nod so it will shoot out a new stem for blooming.🌹
I don't fertilize mine, because they are not my plants, but I believe you can fertilize them in growing seasons, and for when they are blooming or should bloom you can give them some Orchid or African Violet fertilizer.
Do not stress to get them to bloom, they do it when they want to, and check your house for humidity and temperature. Those are really important.
I don’t have live moss anymore, can I use regular dry moss???
Well, darn. I didn't know that. I'll have to watch more of your vids on orchid care. They're so pretty, but I've had horrible luck with them.
I have thrown away many orchid that I thought dried and died. I am keeping one that my husband gifted me when we were dating in a similar pot that you are showing here... round glass pot with moss. The moss has dried now and my orchid plant leaves are limp and almost dying. I would really be heartbroken to throw it away.
Add more water to the moss?
Hello, I have tried this 4 times but I have not been able to grow back anything! Is it difficult??? Why I could not make it work? Do I need a specific moss? Thank you for your reply
I'm a newbie but it seems orchids are very sensitive, at the same time they're actually very hardy. Never knew I could regrow
they are actually rather hardy, the problem is most people keep them in pots when out in the wild, they use their roots to cling onto trees. i once saw someone who hung a tree branch from their ceiling and had their orchid grow from it, i thought that was really clever and also an interesting addition to their home
@@byggrynsgroet gotcha. I live in philadelphia so the pot has to be it's home. It's doing much better I've got loads of blooms too! Thanks
Yeah, very difficult to grow in such a format in the home and actually be able to provide adequate moisture, depending on the variety
@@jpcreativeimagery it's just an add ice orchid. I've had it for two years and now it's not dormant. I must be doing something ok
@@byggrynsgroet thanks for telling me to do with that giant piece of driftwood.
