Yes indeed the hormones work. My method is to fill a gallon baggies half full of soil, which has been. moisturerized, stick in my little cutting, press the soil around it, blow air in the bag and close it and put in bright indirect light. I've been very successful in this method and it is really fun to watch the roots growing in the bottom of bag.
Hi Maria I'm very happy with you video , I have the roots hormone powder but when I try to do it in my plants they're drought and are not what I did wrong I follow instructions and suppose works well and for me doesn't works ,but I try with my fertilizer and water immediately growing roots sometimes for any persons worth and for the others don't. Anyway thanks for sharing again your experiences and experiments with your great carácter and humor always you make me feel younger and happy.greetings from me Lidia in California
...yes I agree a lot of things factor in such as the health and condition of the orchid, lighting, temperatures...etc...and sometimes we do get different results. One thing I would like to ask of you to do...is NEVER GIVE UP...many times I find it is just about being creative in finding solutions to our problems...and being willing to try new and different things. Thank you so much for your kind comments and for watching my videos...remember your only as old as you want to be...I've already told my husband...that I NEVER WANT TO EVER GROW UP...as I show him daily!!! LOL!!! LIVE, LOVE LAUGH...AND ALWAYS BE YOUNG!!! :)
Interesting. I think I might pick some up next time I'm near my local nursery. I wanted to try rooting some cuttings anyway so this is a good excuse to have some on hand. There is an orchid I may actually try this on to get it growing. I did recently change the media and growing location to see if I just had been providing it improper care. If that wasn't the culprit maybe this will give it a little goose and it will start growing some new roots.
...yea I am making sure that I keep my own personal stash....also keep in mind depending on where you are at...the colder climate of the soon coming winter season can also play a role...it is the time where most of our orchids really begin to slow down in its growth...if you do decide to give it a go...let me know how it works for you. Thank you for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
Miss Young, I have a Vanda with the tiniest roots but large leaves. The leafs are slowly turning brown from the tips. I had tried spraying rooting hormone using the recommended proportions. I am going to try the direct contact method you showed. Should I use a little sphagnum moss around the roots or is it better bare for Vandas?
Sorry to hear about your dilemma...and if you are growing your vanda indoors during the winter where it is warm then this could work...as stated during the winter months your orchids will normally grow a whole lot slower or even not at all. I would recommend that wherever you put the rooting hormone on that it is completely covered with moss and that you water as much as possible and at least once a day as it will dry out quickly. Wishing you the best of luck and keep me posted!
Thank you for the advice! I live in the tropics, it is pretty warm all year round so I water daily. I will try using moss with the diluted hormone on the roots with full strength hormone. I will let you know how it goes!
Hi Maria: I'm Lisa from Puerto Rico and a beginner on orquids. I have a question about vandas. I have 3 different ones for about a year in bad conditions, but like you said with the passion and hope of seeing them live, I've held on to them; they have NO leaves, some dry roots, but I water them- some turn green/stale, but if they turn green isnt that a sign of life? I've given hormon powder direct, once, have watered with plant food and I live un the tropics! Do they hve a chance still, I hve faith and hve held on for maybe 1 1/2 yr. Are they that slow to grow leafs? HELP 😱😫😥
My name is Phan Xuan Ca, I am in Vietnam and I love orchids. Last time I watched your video was great and rewarding. Nice to meet you and many people around the world. Can you tell me which country you are? Very thank you, wish you health!
Thank you for watching...and of course you can...but I think the key is putting the powder DIRECTLY onto the panda...and then wrapping the the sphagnum moss to allow the water to saturate and mix with the powder...and watering the moss daily...unless the vanda is a mini and can go into a pot...you can do it that way too, as I did with my renanthera. If you do it...let me know how it works for you. :)
Awesome!!! ...and yes the gel form may be better...I will have to keep an eye out for that too...or perhaps I can find it online. Indeed keep me posted and I am finger crossing that it will be successful for for you. I haven't heard from you in awhile...and I am so glad that you stopped by for a visit...I am hoping all is well with you and wishing you only the best! HAPPY GROWING! :)
MY Orchid Adventures Yes I ordered my Clone X gel from Amazon . Yes love your videos still around had some personal issues that I'm still trying to deal with . All is well for now I hope . Thank you so much for bring a smile to me when I watch your videos. Happy growing: )
@@piamassaro6601 Yes clone x did help but my bare rooted vandas I had a difficult time keeping clone x gel from drying before it started help it root so I had pot them in a pot with plenty of air holes and Norwegian stagnum moss with lots of and chunky bark with horticultural charcoal as my mix and that solve my problem with keeping clone x from drying so quickly . Have tried it ?
@@Ellofez thank you for for your response. I haven’t tried it yet but I’ve been considering it and when I saw your comment I thought I would ask you first. I have a couple rootless Phalaenopsis orchids that were given to me and I’m having a heck of a time getting them to grow new roots.
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments...your making me blush!!! LOL! I am so glad you stopped in for a visit!!! HAPPY GROWING AND MAY ALL OF YOUR ORCHID DREAMS COME TRUE! :)
i recently took the top part off of my Aerides lawrenceana as the bottom of the plant was covered in some brown root rot and i thought i could viably save the top part and so i cut off the top part...dipped it in the rooting hormone and planted it up in sphagnum...3 months later it has started a new fan from the top so i will assume that it is still surviving...fingers crossed...will just continue watering it and not dig into the sphagnum to see if any roots are there..So i think it is possible...i have proof!
That is awesome! I am also keeping my finger's crossed also...I am so glad I found out about the rooting hormone being able to work on orchids...Indeed I will make sure to always have my stash! :)
...I'm not sure...because it isn't a real blossom...LOL! It is an artificial flower that I put in my hair. It does look quite real though, wouldn't you say...LOL! :)
Very interesting. Would try it on some of my stubborned orchids. Oh also I am so sorry I forgot to contact you before the trip. I went to tom Ritter and got a lot orchids. The lady there mentioned you. :) going to tour there from now on when I get a chance to visit FL. Found a seed pot on one new baby. Could you please tell me the website you mentioned in one video that I could send the seed pot to get processed?
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAME DOWN AND DID NOT TELL ME!!!! ...SNIFF, SNIFF, TEAR DROP! I am hoping you had a great time here....oh and was it Linda Ritters...that's my sister through orchids...I love her! :) ...and hopefully only good things! ...unfortunately I've kind of lost contact with the person that was doing the orchid seeding...I know he moved so I'm not quite sure where he is at right now...if I do find out I will relay the info...
MY Orchid Adventures sorry I was going to contact you. My hubby asked where you live the day we went to orchid shopping and I don't know.... do you live near tom Ritter? We are planning some weekend trips to Florida and would like to meet you next time.
Nice! Well that is how we learn..lol. There seems be quiet a few growers that are unaware that fusarium can be contagious to HUMANS. Can you do a video Please!
@@PictureMaria1 Thankyou Maria for taking the time to make these videos. Just trying to give some helpful feedback. I think it would help if you spoke more naturally. You sound like a drill instructor, the clear audio is great, just think a more feminine, softer voice would show the real you.
You’ve got beautiful hair but you talk too much and you are on and on and your orchids are dead! I am so sorry for your partner I wonder if he wears earplugs lol

Sorry but what’s the point of an update if you weren’t consistent with the treatments?
Your hair is gorgeous as much as your orchids 🤩
thank you always for the technique and advice miss maria...mabuhay!
THANKS SO MUCH!!! ...and indeed MABUHAY!!!!! HIGH-FIVE!!! :) :) :)

She is from Florida, US
Omg that hair! How beautiful your lovely hair with the orchid flower.
Thanks for sharing. I think this is a good idea to use rooting hormone. I was wondering if I can use it on my vanda?
Thank you for watching...and of course you can...but I think the key is putting the powder DIRECTLY onto the panda...and then wrapping the the sphagnum moss to allow the water to saturate and mix with the powder...and watering the moss daily...unless the vanda is a mini and can go into a pot...you can do it that way too, as I did with my renanthera.

On more Woody areas of the plant lightly scrape a very very thin layer off with a knife wet The Cutting and then dip it and the rooting hormone
Thanks! Definitely will give it a try! 👍
Thank you for sharing. I will try next spring with my Clone X gel and will report back to you . I think it would work much better with the gel.
Awesome!!! ...and yes the gel form may be better...I will have to keep an eye out for that too...or perhaps I can find it online.

I had a go with a cymbidium back bulb .So hopefully it might work .
I am finger crossing that it does work for you! :)
That Cymbidium in your hair is gorgeous! Great experiment! Thanks for all the hard work and education, another amazing video!
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments...your making me blush!!! LOL! I am so glad you stopped in for a visit!!! HAPPY GROWING AND MAY ALL OF YOUR ORCHID DREAMS COME TRUE! :)
That is not a cymbidium in her hair!

GREETINGS AND THANK YOU FOR HANGING OUT WITH ME!!! Always nice of you to drop by! HAPPY GROWING! :)
hey I found the update! cool! And you did 1 tsp to 1 liter not a gallon.
What type of orchid is on your hair ???
Stef Styl LOL!!! It is a cymbidium blossom. :)
MY Orchid Adventures what types of cymbidium??? I need it now !!! Plsss
...I'm not sure...because it isn't a real blossom...LOL! It is an artificial flower that I put in my hair. It does look quite real though, wouldn't you say...LOL! :)
yes lmao !!!
Has anyone tried this on an orchid cut from a fresh floral arrangement? I'm trying to save a flowering stem! Any advice would be great 👏👏😘😘
Very interesting. Would try it on some of my stubborned orchids. Oh also I am so sorry I forgot to contact you before the trip. I went to tom Ritter and got a lot orchids.

I live about 45 minutes from Tom Ritters...and yes next time for sure....PROMISE??? LOL! :)
MY Orchid Adventures definitely! Actually my hubby and I are thinking about moving to FL. Maybe I will be your next door later next year!
Your hair is so beautiful.
Would you do the root hormone with the epidendrum cutting?
Thank you! :) I personally would not use it on my epidendrum cutting because they are so easy to propagate that you really don't need to.
Something I am doing wrong with my epidendrum, where can I send you a picture so you can advice what is it?
You have to add the straight powder to it
Love its videos.. also u should try diva girl products in ur hair. Would make it so beautiful ❤😁🤩😉
What is your ethnic background, if I may ask. Your hair is beautifully lush!
Nice! Well that is how we learn..lol. There seems be quiet a few growers that are unaware that fusarium can be contagious to HUMANS. Can you do a video Please!
Wait what? What is this!!!
Maria how do I send you a picture
The best way to send me a picture is either via email picturemaria@gmail.com or on facebook. :)
Thank you so much for the info, great video, love it
Plants need to go on a heat mat. My kids say I yell into phone and DRIVETHRU speakers. We can hear you fine.
Thanks for watching! HAPPY GROWING!

Get to the poin already.
That is a fake cattleya orchid flower
....no actually it is an artificial cymbidium flower in my hair.
Cool video! Thumbs up! ♥ like # 97
You’ve got beautiful hair but you talk too much and you are on and on and your orchids are dead!
I am so sorry for your partner I wonder if he wears earplugs lol
Wishing you all the best! Happy growing! 🤗
You’re right, she does have gorgeous hair! However, the rest of your comment was extremely rude and uncalled for.
