I so love your mini “ lectures “ so much. I am an orchid enthusiast too and I had hundreds of different orchids in the PHILIPPINES. Now that I migrated here in the U.S, I started collecting again and they’re in the hundred again because of propagation and continuously buying. I agree with your advises about orchids and I just love the way you talk and I love listening to you even if I already know what you are but I STILL love listening to your lectures. Hope you will load some NEW ones again soon.
Hi Amanda, I've discovered your channel a few weeks ago and after watching 5 minutes of the first video I've subscribed and watching every video I can. I really enjoy your style, explaining and showing right the way. Right now I have only 2 orchids, but just past 10 days I managed to get 30 houseplants for my small room. And just downloaded your Excel sheet for orchids. I wish we could attach pictures to our comments. Anyway, thank you again, love your channel.
Hi there. Love your video. Very down to earth and easy to understand for a newbie. I also love your kitty cat, beautiful face. Thank you for a very detailed video. I live in South Africa and have just started collecting orchids.
Would love to know what your climate is. I live in zimbabwe .. very dry winter. Would also kniw how often you water with potting in that mix spag/bark .. thanks kate
My favourite orchid is Cattleya I love them 😍and I’m good to growing them thank you very much for all of this information lovely video ,😘 for midnight 🐈
Hi Sajeevi Mahanaga, I’m sorry it took so long for me to write you back about your comment. I was on vacation and didn’t log onto my RUclips. Thanks for commenting on my video. I appreciate it and was glad it helped. Midnight loves making videos (I think more than I do... ) and I'm glad she adds to them instead of distracts.
Thank you! 😊 I moved overseas and haven't settled in yet, at least not enough to get back to making videos. Once I adjust to life here, I'll get back to videos.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with instructions in details! --> Question: Repotted Cattleya orchid roots as a whole require energy to regrow in a new pot. Why don' t you detach younger branches with roots to make new pots? --> My reason: when untouched, Cattleya roots would evenly spread energy (ability to absorb nutritions), this energy absorbed ability would stop a long period when media are replaced -being repotted. when broken up and detached from their "mother", young Cattleya branches would have much more stronger ability (energy) than the whole old bunch of roots.
Hi Quoc Viet Ha, I’m sorry it took so long for me to write you back about your comment. I was on vacation and didn’t log onto my RUclips. Thanks for commenting on my video. I appreciate it and was glad it helped. I have another video on that very specific point that you are saying, but I'm in the editing phase. It should come out shortly. And yes, you are rights. Every time a Cattleya is repotted, it hurts the roots so much. I'm also workign on an uppot video, where instead of taking the Cattleya out of the pot, you add another pot to the side of it. I have finished the written part of the article, but not the video yet. You can read it here: orchideria.com/up-potting-orchids/
I'll save those thin plastic cards that come in the junk mail and cut them into a strip that can be used to get in between the root and the pot, helping to separate it. Kinda like the tags but I won't use those because they may be too brittle or I just don't want to damage them.
Hi Natlee, Yes, you're right. 😊 But there are.some products that are added into the bark like pesticides and other chemicals that can turn the roots brown too.
Love this lady’s videos, she actually gives the required info as opposed to unnecessary info not relative to the issue. Love all her info 😊💕
Hi Sandra, Thank you! I appreciate it

Where are you Amanda? We miss your videos and your awesome personality in your videos.
Thank you! 😊 I moved overseas and haven't settled in yet, at least not enough to get back to making videos. Once I adjust to life here, I'll get back to videos.
@@Orchideria Oh, ok, thanks. What a move! 😲 Take your time. Just be safe whatever country you're in. 😊
I always wanted a Cattleya orchid. Maybe I will get one in the spring. Thank you for your video!
Hi Praxedis, I think they're beautiful. I'm glad the video inspired you to get one.
@@Orchideria I bit the bullet and bought a small one but now all the roots are dead. I put it in semi water culture. I hope some roots grow. :-(
Thank you for sharing your experiences with instructions in details!

You don't recycle the potting media when repotting?
Thank you
