Orchid propagation. I like to pot them in pots with no draining holes at all (mostly)
WOW. They are beautiful! I just got my 1st one my daughter bought me for Mothers Day. I have never had an Orchid. Thank you for the information!
Please Alexander, more videos. You are doing something amazing. I have never seen orchids like this. Beautiful.

Hi~Alexander~It's true. Your orchids are the BIGGIST ORCHIDS I have ever seen in youtube. You are so strong to hold the glass vase.
Thank you 🙂
Oh, Yes, your Rhone is beautiful💞And it's a strong grower🙏The fern spores are a sign of a healthy potting medium🥰Your Clemintine is beautiful too!
What a gorgeous. Orchid s . I will subscribe now to continue appreciating your beauties 🥰and learn how to care them . 🤗
Thank you. I will be posting more. Just got lazy 😉
Hi Alex, they are beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the feedback
I’m going to try your method of growing orchids in glass vases. More videos please.
Hello. Thank you. I will be posting more including how i repot
So beautiful, thank you!! 🙂
Thank you too 🙂
Gorgeous orchids…and Alexander too! 🔥
Thank you 🙂
@@OrchidsByAlexander you’re welcome! Do you have an instagram page??
Your orchids are so beautifully healthy!!
I think you are an orchid whisperer!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Terri 🙂 actually some of my orchids are facing problems too. I lost a few in 2022. It cant be always perfect
O my God! 👌Wow!!!
WoW!!! Great job
Thank you, Stacy!
wonderful results 🌸💐🌺
Thank you 🙂
Bro, whats the magic that you give to these plants?.... loved it.. But how.???..it s beautiful and huge
Hello :) thanks. No magic at all honestly. Plenty of light (lamps) and i use REGULAR and CHEAP all-season purpose fertiliser NPK 18-18-18 or 20-20-20 almost every time i water them. I add a little bit of it
Your orchids are absolutley beautiful! I manage to get my orchids to bloom, but very few flowers compared to yours. No drainage holes and keeping the orchid roots moist (not letting them dry out) is new to me. Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks. I do let them to dry occasionally , but not fully dry. They consume water, so there is no always need for drainage holes. I will be posting more.
Awesome Alexander! I am still figuring out how are the Phals growing in glass containers WITH OUT HOLES for drainage and air circulation??😮
Thank you 🙂 i use quite large pieces of pine bark and it has many spaces for air and for roots to grow. Quite enough as you can see. Yes, sometimes roots can rot but not more or less often as in pots with holes. There are many benefits in pots with no holes at all. Ill be showing more
they are stunning!
Thank you
You have to do a orchid care video! So beautiful, big and healthy.
I will. Thanks
Please post more!, I want to learn more about that close system! Does it ever cause the mold inside the pot?
Hello. Thank you. Mold can appear. A small amount of mold is ok. Sometimes real mushrooms can grow. I plant in pine bark and i prefer to boil it to prevent mold. But it still can appear sometimes
My goodness! I’ve never seen anyone’s orchid this robust and bursting with flowers before, any tips on pests? how did you keep it so nice and pest free!?!
Thank you. Pests are very complicated to fight with for those who live in Europe or America because insecticides are banned for mass selling. I recently had a mealybug attack and it was bad. I used malathion against thrips and it worked well many times but this time mealybug did not die after many times i used it. I used hand soap, 100% rubbing alchohol and showering, removing them mechanically. The best remedy is actara. You water your plants with actara, they consume it and get POISONOUS for all insects for about a week and when they bite - they die. But then again - actara is banned for mass selling in EU and America and if you find something online 90% that you will get fake. Its faked too much. Be careful as i bought fake one
Omg what a beautiful orchid jungle😍 Tell us your secrets!
Thanks 🙂 there are no secrets honestly. Light is very important. I use regular fertilisers. Will post some more information in future
Do you have a video on how you grow cymbidium orchid? Would love to know more about that, please, thank you!
Hallo, Without hole how they are growing, if you plz show how to planting Orchids plants without holes. Generally always have holes to drop down water. Thanks 🙏,
Thanks. I will be filming a repotting video. Probably in the beginning of March.
I have about 10 Phalaenopsis Orchids in tall water vases - last for months -easy care .
Thank you for making me feel much more at ease about potting medium and pots and watering. I am just beginning and have watched so many videos that have me terribly confused and feeling frustrated. So very glad I found you and my goal is to have orchids everywhere! Yours are absolutely gorgeous and I’m feeling much more motivated! ❤️🥰
Everybody find their own way through experience. Dont get sad if something goes wrong 😉 thank you
Alex I am blown away by your beautiful work!! I came right home and repotted one of mine in glass. I don’t think I can add a photo or I don’t know how!! But PLEASE tell me how to water now thank I spent so much time making this beautiful glass arrangement but I want your advice. I keep checking for another video from you but none yet. So if you could comment I would greatly appreciate it. You are awesome and NO ONE has orchids like this.
Thank you so much. I hope you have used quite large pieces of pine bark , left sime spaces for roots to grow but the orchid is not swinging :) if so, then i would fill the vase with water after the roots go silverish color (dry) for about 5-10 minutes and then flip it to drain (holding the orchid a little bit) nothing should be falling out. Maybe a few pieces of bark. When the roots will fill the vase you wont need to soak it anymore, just add a little bit of water once a week or so. I will be filming more. But remember- bad experience is also an experience. Not all of my orchids are big and healthy. I have lost some in my journey
Beautiful and healthy orchids, amazing! Can’t wait to see more videos and repotting/care tips please!!
Hi Alex amazing .Do you have another video ? How to potting the new orchid from the store ?
Thank you
@@eviet2483 hello, Evie. No new videos yet. But will repot this month.
I've been watching a lot of orchid videos and you definitely have the largest orchids on RUclips that I've seen so far. I'd love to see a video on how you water your orchids that have no drainage. This is the first time I've seen anyone do that. Also, can you elaborate on the cooler temperature that you mention? What temperature and do you keep them at that cooler temperature only temporarily to stimulate flowering? That part wasn't clear to me. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your next video.
Hello. Considering my climate i dont regulate the temperature. It drops naturally on spring/autumn when it gets cold outside but still no heating inside. Id reccoment somewhere between 17-22C for blooming. On summer when it gets 26+ they are not likely to give new spikes. I will be filming more cideos including watering and repotting.
@@OrchidsByAlexander Thank you for this further explanation on temps. I have subscribed so I'll be notified of your next videos. Take care.
I loved your Orchids planted in a glasses with no holes! In your videos I have not seen you watering, apply a fertilizing. I am wondering? So no food & water? Hopping to hearings from you again soon!
Hello. Of course i water them. It takes about two hours to water all my orchids 🤣 i will show it in some upcoming videos. As fot fertilizer - i use cheap fertilizers and i add a little bit of them almost every time i water
Magnificent phals :) What is a full name of the pink orchid? I have the same one, but I don't know what it's called...
Thank you. The big orchid in vase is “rhone”. I bought another one recently to see if it can grow as big 😅 there are many look alike orchids. Mine had a name printed on the pot. but if you mean the smalle one, then its summersong.
Hey Alexander 👋🏻 not able to comment often, but just to let you know I have subscribed and am looking forward to supporting you and seeing more of your beauties. Impressive orchids with fabulous blooms! Wow 😍 I grow orchids in S'ern Spain under adverse conditions, so I won't have such beauties to show, but eventually I will have some blooms 👍🏼
Hello. And thank you 🙂 i know, it is not so easy to grow them in Spain as its quite hot there.
Your orchids are splendid and it's so interesting to see you grow them in glass containers with no air holes. I would like to try this and I'll be following you with much interest.
Thank you so much.
Hi Alex, I began buying Phalaenopsis Orchids In June of 2022. I have 5 plants now. I love to see the really large Plants. Blessings to you Rick
Hello , Rick. Thank you for your feedback. I started my orchid hobby not so long. About 4 years ago. Wish you luck
Great collection!! Orchids look so happy and healthy. How do you water the ones in the glass vases? Do you bring to the sink and fill out the glass to get rid of excess salts that accumulate from fertilizers over time?
I think the main risk for salts is tap water, so i use filtered water. As for salts after fertilizing- i think i had it in some pots but the vases are still ok after many years of fertilizing them almost every time i water.
Thanks!
Hi Alex, the orchids that you have in the plastic pots, is there an inner pot sitting inside the outer plastic pot?
I have 10 Phalaenopsis orchids +
In tall water vases - last for months - easy care.
Blooming new Flowers 🌸🌺 in spring time .
Wow ,super dooper absolutely 💯 beautiful, can I ask ? They only grow in growing lights? I have orchids, but they don't have flowers, I put on my window and not too much light. New subscriber here,
Hello. Nope, they can grow on a windowsill as well. I have about 5 orchids on north window without artificial light and they bloom, not as good but still. Maybe your orchids are not as mature yet or recently purchased. They will bloom for sure 😉
Hey Alex, your orchids surely the biggest on You Tube and most stunning! I just started collecting orchids and your collections inspire me a lot. Just keep posting new video, maybe about how to start grow orchids in glass jars like these, and how to water them regularly. Thank you.
Hello. Thank you. I will be posting a repotting video in March
Alex I love your orchids! I am looking forward to see your next videos on how to replant and water them in a vase without holes.
Thank you
I’m a beginner here but I love love your orchids!! How amazing they are and soooo beautiful!! Goin to follow for more tips!
Hi Alexander, Thank you for the video! Your orchids look so healthy, and blooms are abundant! You seem to find your way of growing orchids which seem to be very efficient. How often do you repot them in a fresh bark? Would be interesting to know. Thank you! ❤️🇺🇸
Beautiful what fertilizer you use how often do you water them I'm from south Africa bye
Hello. I use regular all season purpose fertiliser NPK 18-18-18 or 20-20-20 almost every time i water them. Just a little bit.
Gostaria de saber inglês para te seguir pois fiquei apaixonada pela suas orquídeas

Your orchids are amazing and very special! Your so sweet and very inspiring, love watching your videos! 💜
Blessings🙏🏻
Georgous
I wish my orchid will grow like these
Love and so impressed with your orchids! How do you water your closed system pots?
Thank you. I usually water them by adding a small anount of water and its enough bcs their roots has grown till the bottom. But newly repotted orchids i water by soaking. Filling the vase with water and then draining by flipping it upside down. Nothing falls if repotted properly (i use quite big pieces of pine bark)
GLORIOUS! What a gift and orchids you have, Alexander! You're being humble, but I almost fell from my chair when you said, "Nothing Special."
I don't mind not achieving your level of success, but just the fact... that you share your knowledge, ability, and talent with us is truly invaluable and gracious of you. (What a true lover of plants does!)
You have reached me here in Southern California, and I'm not sure I can achieve the 20° here. But, you're one to aspire to and emulate. THANK YOU, SIR 💌
Ps. You have a new subscriber, too🥰
😅 thank you. I think temperature in California is very good for orchids (not outside of course, but indoors). It doesnt get super hot and it always drops at night. So should be good. 20C is about 70F
Beautiful orchids! They look so healthy and happy! I have a Phalaneopsis wall in my greenhouse, I love them. Such beautiful plants to grow.
Thank you 🙂
Please tell us how to take care of your orchids
I will in future. Thanks
Glad to watch your video again. I have received a very large white orchid as a gift as i am suffering from a broken back slowly recovering. PLEASE tell about how you fertilize and all about how to get thm to be huge. My newest one has Perhaps 30 white flowers which are 4 inches across and the tips are still growing I hope for more buds to flower. BLESSINGS to you.... Rick
Thank you, Rick. Wishing you a successful recovery, your health is more important than flowers. All white phalaenopsis are considered to be the easiest varieties. It will probably continue to bloom from old spikes on sides after ending its “purchased” blooming if its not too hot in your area. Just give it enough of light (no direct sunlight) and dont overwater considering the media its planted in. If its planted in cocopeat - make sure to dry it betweet each watering. If pine bark - then its easier not to overwater.
As for fertilizer - i use just a cheap, regular all-season purpose fertilizer NPK 20-20-20 or 18-18-18. I use the one in crystals (not liquid) any brand. No garlic, no bananas, no pineapples, just a normal fertilizer 😉
Amazingly healthy and beautiful orchids you have, thanks for sharing. Gives me more motivation to try and grow my orchids as healthy as yours are.
Moss and algae?Alex, don't you think that the moss and algae have a symbiotic( like they help each other in growth) relationship with the roots, like they gives them nutrients?
Thank you for the question. Avtually, not… i dont think there is any symbiosis between moss and orchids. I recently kinda stopped using moss inside of planting. It sometimes grows too much. As for algae… its lottery. Sometimes it covers the whole pot and you cant see the roots. But its not harmful and i dont think it does any special effect to the orchid 🙂
Do you have Phalaenopsis Sogo Yukidian? It's a kind of huge plant. Btw, I love all your phals. They are huge, healthy, and beautiful. I am also like the huge ones. My regards from Indonesia 🙏
Hello. Thank you. I do have two sogo yukidians. One of them got sick last year and is recovering. They did not excite me that much this season 😉
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wowwwwwwww..........
Would love to know what you feed your orchids and how often? They are beautiful! Wish I had this many. Thanks for sharing
Thanks. I sometimes wish i had LESS 😉
I feed them the cheapest “all season purpose” fertilisers. Npk 18-18-18 or 20-20-20. But i add it almost every time i water. Light is more important than fertiliser. I have lamps (cheap ones as well)
I LOVE phal orchids! I grow mine in glass wide mouth vases too! They are very happy & healthy! Love from the states! 🤍💐
Hi.. good to see your orchid blooms.. what kind of grow light is needed for different type of orchids?
Thanks for the question. The short answer: ANY LED light. No specific light needed. I bought my lams in big store for renovation. These are just long led lamps with bright light. I have both cold light (6500k) and neutral (4000k)
Can the orchids grow under happy lights in winter?
What do you mean by happy lights? They can grow under artificial lights all year round. Same goes to natural light… i have about 5 orchids on north window without artificial light. And they bloom at winter too, but they grow slower
Boa noite, tudo bem com você, deixa eu te perguntar como vc faz as regas no pote de vidro??💕🙏👣.
I love orchids. Can you do a beginner video on light water temperature for people in cold areas
Insanely beautiful.
Almost every one told me to use pots with holes, while your method is opposite! Will try in the near future
Yes, definitely try it. I was afraid to try it but got good results
SO BEAUTIFUL!! How do you get the orchid plant to grow multiple spikes? Mine will only grow one spike at a time. Any tips would be wonderful!
Hello. Older orchids tend to give more flowers/spikes. Cool temperature 17-21 stimulates them for more flowers and spikes and brighter flower colors
Hi Alex beautiful orchids!!!!!! I have about 20 orchids. Many have rebloomed but nothing like yours. Do you cut back your stalks after they finish blooming and how far? When will you be doing your repotting video? Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you. It depends. I usually cut it till first bud that can grow as a new side-stalk. But sometimes i cut the whole stalk. The older the orchid - the more flowers it will get. Sorry for not posting more videos. I will be posting a replanting video in end of february-march 100% 🙂
my orchid is haning on barely, i have it upside down in water inside a ziplock bag!? hoping for roots, as they are all gone, things look 50/50.
Hello. Leaves in water upside down is a good method to revive phalaenopsis with no roots at all. Plenty of light, plenty of time and plenty of success might give a great result. But dont be too sad, sometimes its not worth the time.
@@OrchidsByAlexander lol, ...gee...well, i bought another orchid, cause i wanna stick with the whole obsession thing, Thanks for you reply!!!
How much lux is your artificial light？
Hello. Thank you. I don’t remembered exactly how many lux. But its quite bright and i put it quite close to the leaves. Its cold light 6500k. These LED lamps are not expensive
OMG this is just amazing ❤❤❤pls show me how u water them thanks 🙏🏼
I will show in future. Thank you 🙂
We need to know MORE. For example, do you drain the old moisture and put in fresh, will water left in stagnate? Your orchids are very close to the lights, How long do you keep them under light? Does it get warm under them? How much fertilizer do you give them??? My orchids blast their flowers. I am doing something wrong.
Thank you for the questions.
There are many ways how i water them. I rarely soak older plantings, i just add water. I usually soak newly repotted orchids, depending on the media… and if i soak them - yes, i drain all the water. Depemding in weather i can sometimes leave more or less water in stagnet, sometimes not at all.
I dont keep them over moisty like swamp. The amount if water depends mostly on the stage of growth. If its growing fast - i water it more often.
Speaking about the lights - its very normal to put them close to the lamp. Dont put the leaves too far from the lamp. Nope, these lamps dont heat up much. It doesnt cause the air to heat up.
I would recommend 12+ hours a day for lamps. But u can go up to 20, depending on your electricity bills 😉 mine are set up for 14 hours a day.
Speaking about flower blasting in BUDS stage - can be many causes.
Main are :
1) lack of light
2) lack of water
3) poor root system
4) temperature over 26 for phalaenopsis.
If its a newly bought orchid - its normal, they have stress.
Fertilising is overrated. I use cheap all season purpose fertilisers. I add them often, but its not as important as light 😊
@@OrchidsByAlexander Wow! Many many THANKS!!!! You are very kind!!! I think that maybe my room got too hot. So good to know! I have learned so much from you. I am in love with orchids, and live in the far North of Canada. I am trying to create jungle conditions in the frozen landscape! LOL LOL LOL Thank you so much, again.
Absolutely beautiful, Alexander. I've subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more videos from you. You obviously have a gift and understanding for caring for them and their needs. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
Hello. Thank you 🐰🙂
Yes please film more❗️ I have just 3 orchid plants that I’ve had for a few years but they are nothing like yours. I would like to know what your secrets are so mine little plants can be big and proud too‼️
Thank you :) mo secrets honestly. More videos will be coming
Very nice and beautiful orchids. It’s very interesting and new to me that you grow them in containers with no holes. May i know how you fertilize and water, especially the ones in glass containers? Thanks a lot ❤
Hello. Thank you. I usually fertilise every time i water them with a little bit of regular fertiliser NPK 18-18-18 (or 20-20-20) bothing special actually. Sometimes I fertilise with sugar (like ince in 2 months).
watering is different. It very depends. Newly repotted orchids i usually soak in water for 5 minutes and then drain ( if its a vase then i just flip it to drain holding the orchid) i will be showing the process in upcoming videos 😅
Orchid heaven ❤I love this. Why don’t my orchids bloom 😢
They are stunning.
How long to you keep your orchids under the artificial light? That seems to be my main problem, they don’t get enough light. I can grow lots of leaves and roots, but no flowers.
12+ hours. I set it for 16 hrs. If they are healthy with leaves and roots , then maybe the temperature is too high
Hi Alex! Your orchids are amazingly beautiful. I love orchids but I’m not quite successful in growing them. What medium are using in growing your orchids?
I use pine bark. Quite large pieces. Sometimes i add a little bit of sphagnum moss (can be any moss actually) it applies for phalaenopsis. There are many other orchids, they are a bit different in requirements
I can’t believe how many orchids you have that flower simultaneously! They are stunning! Could I ask you how old they are? Non of mine have even remotely that amount of leafs. I had no clue they could even grow that big and old! I was worried mine would die soon as a lot are nearing the ten year mark, and I thought that’s an orchids life expectancy….
If you have any tips on how to manage vermin I’d be interested. I had some fungus gnats this winter for the first time, that lived in the soil I bought and woolly louses through a new orchid. I’ve only got about 30 orchids but making sure they aren’t eaten by insects takes a lot of time when inspecting them one by one. If you have a better idea than yellow stickers, carnivorous plants and neem oil I’d love to know.
Thank you so much for sharing your orchids with us, I’m looking forward to your future videos.
Hello. Thank you for the questions. You have phalaenopsis right? Mine are about 2-3 years old since putrchased (the ones you see in the video) but clementine is about 6-7. Its not old for phalaenopsis. The older they get - the more flowers they tend to have.
I get insects often. The bigger your collection gets - the more often u will find them. Regular flues are not harmful to plants.
@@OrchidsByAlexander thanks so much for your reply! I’ve got seven phalaenopsis, four paphiopedilum, two dendrobium, couple of brassia, a vanda, an epipetalum, couple of cambria, and a mix of a bunch of other types!
But most of them are green leafs! I’m lured in by the nice flowers but they never bloom for as long as the phalaenopsis flowers. Your amazing flower shelf is so inspiring! I’ll be buying more phalaenopsis in the future!
I’d be interested to know if you have recommendation on where to buy (or not buy flowers from), I get mine mostly half price on the verge of dying (because I feel sorry for them) from normal shops, or orchid exhibitions, we have a really nice one here in Vienna, Austria!
Your flowers are testimony of your care and skill, I can’t wait to see more!
Hi Alex, hope you are well and your orchids are thriving. Please Alex, share with us how you set up your lighting system and we want another orchids follow up please.. You are brilliant. Thank you
I haven see the orchids growing susessfull like you are I love it thanks show us
🙏
Absolutely gorgeous orchids! Thank you for sharing.
Really beautiful! Im currently trying different methods with my phals. Trying to find a balance with what works for my warering style. I don't know how I can achieve a lower temperature though as my flat is always warm. Possibly putting them near the balcony door as it gets a cold breeze at night!
beautiful orchids :D
Congrats on your orchids! You are the second person that I know of who can grow orchids with so much success. The other person is also using indoor lightning (14hours/day) and high humidity (70/80%). It seems that these parameters are the most important but are often overlooked due to false/misunderstood information on the internet. Mine are by a window, I am considering getting some indoor lights now, is it expensive to run these lights?
Thank you. The lamps im using are quite cheap. About 15-25€ each depending on size. These are regular LED lamps. I have both cold 6500k light and neautral 4000k. And the rest depends on your electricity rate but these lamps actually dont consume too much power. You van start with just one 😉
Gostaria de saber inglês para te seguir estou apaixonada por sua Orquideas
So beautiful make me happy just looking at them 😍😍
I also want to know how to get multiple SPIKES I prefer Phalaenopsis orchids as they are good for beginners. Thanks Alexander.... Rick
do you water to the top of the glass container? why don't the roots root? how low does the water level go before you water again?
I love glass vase for orchids. They’re so beautiful and your organs look so amazing. I’m trying to grow mine but slowly maybe I’m doing something wrong. They not blooming as large as yours. What did I do wrong?
How many hours of light????? How cold to make them bloom and for how long????? Love your videos. Keep making them. You are such an inspiration.
Çok güzel konuştun ama hiç bi sey anlamadım
Your orchids are gorgeous! Please explain how you water since the pots don't have holes. Do you fill the container with water and then empty it up or
you just water a predetermined amount like a cup or have a cup of water?
Please post more detailed videos of how you care for them. Thank you!
Hello. I will be posting more and thank you. There are different ways i water them. Newly repotted orchids in pots with mo holes i tend to water by soaking them. Filling the vase with water and then flip it to drain. Will show it in some upcoming videos 🙂 but when they grow more roots i rarely soak them, maybe a few times on summer. I just add a little bit of water
@@OrchidsByAlexander Thank you!!
