Rejuvenating stressed Orchids Part 1 - Limp, leathery leaves
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- So here I am sorting out the Phalaenopsis orchids I received for our anniversary. Most of them just need some attention, some require a bit of work, so this video is split in 2 parts. In part 1 I talk about general aspects in dealing with a stressed orchid.
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼
The Phalaenopsis in this video is looking rather sad. The leaves are limp, they have no gloss and developed wrinkles. This is a clear sign of dehydration. But to determine the cause of dehydration we need to take a look at the roots.
A repot is always a good idea with new orchids, as it gives you the chance to take a look at the roots, see if the medium is suited for you or if you have any pests hiding in there. So I discovered this orchid has a decent root system, but the stem was cut in the past. This means the orchid might be older than I thought. I also use hydrogen peroxide 3% to limit fungi or snails, to learn more visit this video • Using hydrogen peroxid... it can be used on fungal spots and roots to prevent snails.
Overall this plant is not sick, she just needs some hydration and proper care. In part 2 we will look at some more stressed and even sick orchids.

Hey guys! Just reminding you that in the description you will find additional links related to today's video and also links to my Orchid Care for Beginners series, Care Tutorials for Phalaenopsis, Cattleyas, Oncidiums, etc., links to products I use & more! I receive so many comments and messages daily on all my platforms, it is impossible for me to get to all, but I try to link videos on the most common questions in the descriptions of my videos. You can also search for answers on almost ALL orchid related topics by typing in the RUclips search bar 'missorchidgirl' followed by the orchid subject you want to learn more about! I have many many videos and I think you'll find a video from me on the subject, just in case I don't get to answer your comment. Thank you! 😘🧡
oooooooooooooh now i know.
Hii
🤴
.....
I am an interior designer and have found your information absolutely easy to follow, correct and clear and as we use many orchids as part of our decor and do leave them with our clients your help is much appreciate it! Will forward to clients! Thank you thank you thank you!
A Grimaldi ,hi my orchid leves are lympy I don't know what to do
watch the video and quit asking an interior designer
Thank you!! One of my moms orchids grew TWO keikies (idk how to spell it) before it died :( she did not take care of her orchids but i thought it was such a sweet story. This mama orchid made two babies to carry on her legacy because she knew she was dying, she did give all her energy to make them and then died. I have since potted the keikies but they both had leathery leaves and one leaf on each was starting to yellow. This helped very much! They are def just lacking water
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you rescue that Orchid. Please stay safe and well too . xxx Mags
Love these videos! I just got two orchids that looked very dehydrated but they where 50% off and with the help of these videos I’m hoping to bring them back around!!
I love orchids but didn't really know a lot about them. I will say what I have done and it's been good because they have gotten bigger and Bloom beautifully. But to be able to watch a professional and learn from you that is so much what I need, because I want to know what would happen if this happens or that happens. So I thank you from the depths of my heart you have been a wonderful teacher and I will still follow you and I will still keep learning from you. Can ever have to much knowledge. Thank you again.
I love your presentations. I have also become obsessed with orchids and have learned so very much from you! Thank you and keep up the wonderful work!
THANK YOU!!! This is just what I needed to know! My orchid is very stressed and hurt too, it has 2 punctures on the stems from being dyed, but now that I've seen this video, I don't think it is doing as badly as I thought. Thanks! :)
I will have to repot an orchid sometime next week, she's in a transparent pot and I can see some roots that needs to be removed, it was just too much of a task to wrestle with an orchid with no less than 5 flowerspikes and a keiki to boot. I bought her mid november from the store and she just finished blooming. She's doing really well so far but I may want to transfer her to a bigger pot. 😇
At the same time I am trying to keep my 2nd year in a row keiki producing mother orchid from getting leathery like she became in 2019 in fall when she still had the first keiki, my suspicion is that we didn't pay enough attention to watering her when she needed it but everyone was watered on the same schedule. Both mother and keiki are looking good though. And big sister keiki is also receiving special attention which was rewarded with a new root after 6 months of waiting. It was a big day, very much a milestone. 😆
I'm so grateful for your videos & love of orchids💕 Found you last night, fell asleep to RUclips on our TV. And woke up to them still playing. I have always had an intense love for orchids! And am now willing to go out & buy & try them again💖💕😜🌸🌺🌻
Thank you for your informative and succinct videos. You always get to the point and provide immense amount of information. You simply rock! If I were an octopus, I'd give you 8 thumbs up. Keep up the good work. 😊
I have three Orchids!! For now is the first attempt !! One will be Purple!! I have one that will be pink, and, one white!! Thank you for mall of your help!! I have had them for several!! I was almost afraid to try!! Fear is not an option One of things that will kill it fast is over watering!! Yes, victims of the watering can
problem that "will" kill!! I think they're good as they need special care, knowledge and too expensive not to care !! So it is critical to find out how to care for them!! Happy planting and care! xxx
I love to watch your videos about how to look after my orchids based on
your information. I am thrilled to follow your advice.
Ty!…. I’ve tried to get them to tribe after I rescue them for cheap …. So many have bit the dust on my over the years :(. I’m confident for my most current rescue on that I’ve watched this your videos! I’m not hopeful…. ✌️💛🤗
Your page gives me sooo much peace and enjoyment and because of your info my orchid from Marcs is now soooo healthy and happy. The plant leaves were sooo stressed so I cute them stem repotted it (with spagnum moss added) and my stems visibly growing by the week and the leaves are strengthening up thank you! Plant care brings sooo much brightness !
Wow, you sure have came a long way in 3 years!!
Received a purple orchid as a gift. Beautiful flower, but it has no lovely order . Glad I found your website on how to take care of this's nice plant. Did subscribe to it to keep in tune with you. Thank you for the information on taking care of it. Kathy
Have you used Super Thrive in the water that you soak your dehydrated Phals in? It can help the leaves plump up some (not always completely). You have to soak if not for a few hours, then overnight. The roots don’t usually get soaked that long. I kind of dunk them in so the leaves are all covered. You can repeat the process a couple of times while letting the leaves have about 12 to 24 hours of rest in between. Also, after reporting you can must the leaves on the top and bottom and then rub the water “into” the leaf. Do this several times a day. My mom would help and do it every time she went past the orchid. This helps also.
Your voice is so pleasant
Thanks for the information
I recently purchased a mini phelaenopsis, at most 8 inches tall. It was in the clearance section at my local grocery, and it was just so cute. I've had it for a couple weeks and it's still in bloom but recent;y the blooms have started to shrivel. After some research, I took immediate action to see what the roots looked like. They were ALL dead, save HALF of one root. I noticed that a lot of the roots were previously cut, and the base was enclosed in some kind of thick sponge, and it was just awful. I mean there was just slime and all the roots were hollow. I snipped off all the roots, save that little half of root, and then I dabbed some peroxide on it.
I'm keeping the poor thing in a plastic container just to dry out now. Do you have a recommendation of how I can ensure the life of my mini?
Thank you for this video. I'm starting to get into orchids but I didnt know what to look for when I look at them in the store.
My flower bark is still green.. New leaves propping up in SOIL.. after your videos I plan to buy orchid mix soon!!
Thanks for this informative video ......... just one thing, I think your scissors need sharpening, makes a better clean cut.😊
I I’m an Electrican I just randomly bought a dying orchid at cvs. The bright blue color just caught my eye but it looks like it’s dying. Thanks for the video
Orchids don’t naturally grow blue so that was an artificially enhanced orchid. Next bloom it will go back to its original white colour.
Woah!!! That breaks my heart I only bought it because of the color !!! Thanks for your videos
Some of the leaves on my Orchid are limp. Not all of them just a few. I only water when all the roots are silverish so I am not over watering. And when I water some of the leaves do get firmer but the few I mentioned are still a little limper than them, so I don't think I am under watering. I just repotted so it is not a problem with old mediam or pests in it. It is almost a year old and this is a resent problem so I don't think it is stress from being mishandled at the store. I cut the spike near the base so it is not draining the energy from the plant. I am using a good 19-8-16 fertilizer to encourage growth. They are not the tiny old leaves that are supposed to fall off I think, they are fairly large and they are not yellow. They are not the top ones, they are two leaves below and one of them is the lowest leaf currently, the tiny ones have already fallen off. I don't know what else it could be. Do you have any advice?
I love these videos! I got some orchids from my mom that had been kind of ignored for 3 years and I'm trying to resurrect them. These videos have been so helpful!
...but can I please send you some Bypass Pruners?!?! Paper scissors don't make clean cuts which can be bad for plants and watching you use them is hurting my soul a little bit.
Many guys are nice, but talking too slow andaking tooany noses. You are the beast! A lot of information and very small amount of nothing, actually nothing of garbage speak. Like you a lot! Thank you a lot! God bless you!
I tried the water culture on my phals.one week and the roots died and leaves went limp.And I had mosquito larva!! in my country you can get fined.I repotted my phals in total moss BUT loosely and not compact like in nursery.the pot has no holes but I drain then by tilting after water.very fast, New leaves and roots are growing and no mosquito.the limp leaves remained limp which I think is normal and can't be salvaged.but new ones are shiny and sturdy.
Hi, glad to hear your orchid is doing well :D wow mosquito larvae? that sounds a bit scary :(
one week and mosquito larvae ?
Excellent video, and love how informative all your videos are without being too slow...highly recommend MissOrchidGirl
Hey, iv taken over the care if my late mother in laws orchids, iv been watching your videos and they have been very helpful. I'm still struggling to get one stressed on to bounce back. I followed your instructions and have just left it but it just seems to be getting worse and now it's starting to flower
Depending on how bad off the orchid is, how long should it take to rehydrate limp, leathery leaves?
I have the same problem. What kind of dirt do you use. I don't like the bark.
Thank you so much for your videos. I know zero about orchids. I received two for mothers day. It's still in bloom. One was just like the one in this video. I didn't repot it cause it is still blooming. I watered it but still it remained floppy. So I soaked it until the roots turned green. They tended to stay silver even when I watered it. I didn't know that was a sign that this plant could be dehydrated. So now she (the orchid) is happy. No more hissy fits😉
I;m confused I’ve done everything I could to help my orchids and for some reason I have green leaves and lots of good roots and yet the leaves aren’t stiff they are droopy.
Oh I've got one or two looking like that. They've only got two small wrinkly leaves left on them each. So I hope it's not too late that they can survive. I have to admit I've had my orchids for many many years and I've never repotted them, not even once.🙈 So I'm going to do that today! I've got the orchid medium already.
Oh boy! I've sure got a lot of questions. I wish I could post my pictures and questions somewhere. 😁🙈 Well, I started on my worst looking Phaleanopsis, and as it turns out it has no live roots in the bottom, everything was dead. The only live roots it's got left are the aerial ones, the ones that were on top. I think this orchid is really old, and my question right now is whether there's any point in trying to revive this, may be all hope is lost for this poor guy. Too late maybe? Anyway, how to describe this? Let me try under it's aerial roots (by now I've cut away all the dead roots) it's just got this black long thing downwards...like an iceberg but black. Like a tree trunk, pointy at the end. What is this? Am I better off just throwing away this orchid?
Listening to this video a 2nd time I hear you talk about "a stem" I just realized that that's what the long black thing is that's on my orchid. You can see where old leaves have broken off and old stems too.
Wonderful video where I am learning how to take care of orchids. Thanks
My orchid gets pretty dehydrated because most of her roots are gone- I was out of town and my mother didn't think to bring the orchid to the living room, despite it being winter and the ac not working in my room. So, it currently has 4 short roots that are near the substrate surface where I replanted it. I try to get it beck in shape, yes, a new leaf and several new roots are now growing, so I know it'll live but now she's having babies?! I am a bit freaking out, since she was on life support until recently and last month she has sprouted 2 babies that already have 2 leaves each. I worry she won't be able to make it
I bought an orchid for $2 from my local supermarket. It had dead flowers and really really floppy leaves. I de potted it, I reported it and added lots of water.
Thank you! for such a wonderful video with tips on to care for Orchids. Can you please advice me on how to rejuvenate my orchid of root loss? How can I help my plant with growing new healthy roots? Is there something I can buy to spray my orchid beside orchid food?
how does she look now?
Thank you for this, I think one of my flowers needs to be repotted
Thank you so much for all the useful information.
Fabulous info and presentation.I am 1 step ahead of looking after orchids.
You are great at explaining all this. Thank you for your help!
My pleasure :D
Thank you so much for your informative videos. I am a new subscriber & thrilled to have found your channel :D
Hi, happy my videos help :D

I bought a new orchid and realized the leaves were droopy and withered. I followed your instructions and checked roots removed dead ones, repotted, cut off flower stalk. I bought a new pot with lots of air holes and potted on bark with some moss. Watered yesterday. How long does it normally take to rehydrate? Should I soak it? Still wrinkled and droopy. Thanks for your help!
You repot this orchid in a ceramic pots, however you say in other videos you like to use clear plastic so you can see the roots. Why did you use the ceramic pot in this one. Also, in previous videos, you say not to water from the top. How will you water this orchid?
Hi, I switched all my collection to clay pots and medium, they are 'designed' to work well together. I did not use clay pots due to the repotting process, but I don't need to repot often anymore :) I have a video explaining how things work here ruclips.net/video/z0y7-wzBRKQ/видео.html watering from the top can be done if one makes sure water doesn't get trapped in the crown and the leaves, I can do that with a pump bottle, you can see here ruclips.net/video/lJ9ftcAEJb8/видео.html
I think my orchid has no hope. I saw the Black mold and used peroxide. Now the leaves are leaning. The roots look good, but I think it's over for my orchid. If only I found your channel months ago.
The orchid I bought from a store looks stressed after I bought it. I've just potted it and watered it. It's gone okay, but quite a few months later the flowers have gone limp and some have fallen. 😢
This is normal. Orchids don’t keep their flowers all year long. They fall off and if you continue to care for it properly, it should flower again around the same time next year ☺️
I'm straight binge-watching........ i think im 5 videos in......
and because ive watched so many i remember you saying you dont use clay anymore.....
Hi, you should watch the more recent videos, I got a better camera this year 😂
Hey, I'm new to orchids. Got one for my birthday. Which was about two weeks ago.
All its leaves fell off, I think the crown's rotting. The flowers seem to be doing just fine, the roots are doing okay, almost all are green. I think a few white spots here and there around the crown are found. Also, I'm contemplating on whether I should use insecticides for gardening on this, since it seems there are some critters.
I feel like it's a lost cause.
Help I have large Kaikie on my orchid When, where and how should I remove it and then give how to give it it's own pot.?
Can i repot the ochids even there's flowers.
My orchd phalaenopsis the flowers fell off slowly but now the flower stem is turning pink on both of them even though you could see that my flower was about to start new flowers could see little buds but now the stems are pink
wow! this is really old! The growth of your vlogs is evident when compared from the newer videos. More power to you Orchidgirl! And thanks for all the information
How did the Orchid turn out? Would be great to see before and after!
Thanks for your sterling work and informative videos
How long before I should see a difference in floppy dehydrated leaves? Does it take a really long time?
1:42 Thanks!
Oh, where did you bought that orchid? The latters on its pot are written in greek language.
Do you have an update on how this plant did ?
Stressed Greek orchid :)
(or, at least, from a Greek Ikea store.)
Thank you for what you do. I have an orchid that was sent to me when my Daddy died. I’m not sure what kind it is and it doesn’t have any tag or instructions. I’ve had it over a year now and I know it probably needs repotting. Is there a way that I can send you a picture to help identify it for me and maybe basic care info?
I dag out this old video because I have similar problem with my orchid. When i bought it it was clearly overwatered (it probably stood in a water or so). That was few months ago, since then it lost some flowers but some are still left. I know I should repot it but I cannot do it now with flower. Leaves look worse and worse.... I don't know what to do :(
Thank you very much for "ALL" your orchid videos Miss Orchid Girl. Is there any way to send you a pic of a Phal , that has perplexed me ? It's had some black spots on it since last year, but certainly isn't dying. Flowering, and happy, but is about to lose a leaf. Better to be safe than sorry.. Thank you.
My orchid has a white fluffy substance growing on the leaves which I keep washing off. They are also sticky. How should I trace this please.
What should I do if my orchid has mushroom grown in the pot?
Sokhom Ing re pot in new medium and clean.
Please help my orchids leaves are very floppy and the blooms petals are flapping back also the flowers that are blooming are turning yellow and falling off
Hi Danni. I Bought A Sogo Big Lip White In Jan 2020 It Flowered For Three Weeks.. In The Intrium I Have Been Watching Your Tutorials..😊 I Mentioned That On 4/27/2020 Or Around That Time . That The Pot Fell Media Fell Out .. I Repotted On 4/30 .I Noticed That The Underside Of The Leaves Are Pale Green .. And I May Have by A Keki😭 I Just Took It Out Of The Pot And Noticed That It Has Very Little Roots Not Enough For The Six Inch Pot I Put It In .. Can I Help My Girl By Putting It In A Container With Water Until More Roots Grow ..Don't Have Small Orchid Pot For My Orchid . I Want To Save. First One ..🤗 I Don't Want To Loose Her . Thank You.
TERIFFICE Web site.,Lots of really good information easily described. Will continue to watch her...Thanks....
I have bought a small dwarf phalaenopsis and it is in a small pot just moss. I have 1 root that is flat brown. Can I cut it off? I ordered a new pot and new soil for orchids. I can't look at the roots in the moss. Is it wise to repot it already. Thanks for the usefull video's.
I’m not sure which pots to buy. I’ve been using the plastic but need larger ones for the many roots. I purchased some Gold Imperial mix from Repot me and can’t figure out how to use all those vine pieces.
Thank you so much for the video. Can I please why you changed to clay pot in this video. I have seen in previous videos you used transparent pot for Phalaenopsis Orchid. Which one do you think is best for these kind of orchid?
Wondering what type of media you using to repot? Home Depot is very limited, but I will visit a few nurseries this weekend and maybe I have better luck there.
Would love followup videos..
Could you please guide me as yesterday I dipped my orchids pots in water for few minutes and hanged them back on wall with netted pot. Today morni g I see I most of leaves are yellow and fall of even with just a touch.
Hope you reply asap
Problem....my plant has not only very floppy leaves, it has no roots at all, they have been either eaten or have just disintegrated. What to do ?
Do you rinse off the hydrogen peroxide or just leave it on the roots?
In one of her other videos (the one on repotting) she says you don't need to rinse because all that's left after the reaction is water.
Thank you for this video. I am going to transplant my orchid because it is stressed and the leaves are limp and wrinkled. Should I remove these leaves or just leave them alone. The plant was given to me in this condition and there are a few good leaves on it but a few are very wrinkled. Thanks for your help!
Great info,thanks
If the spike "was already on its way out", I would leave it so the plant could reuse all the energy and nutrients from it... I don't agree that orchids don't recycle them. Quite the reverse, I've noticed they do!
Thank you.. my orchard has couple of droopy leaves but in between is a new shoot.. so should I cut of the new shoot? Tia
I just repotted my newly purchased phals and changed the medium from sphagnum moss to LECA. Bud blast happened first. Then I lost two bottom leaves that turned yellow and now, their leaves are getting limp and they feel soft when I squeeze them a bit. And now, I’m clueless what I did wrong. 😭
how to rehydrate the orchid that has lost 90% of the roots due to roots rot? the new roots are coming so slowly, and i don't want to re-rot the new roots...
I usually trash my phalaenopsis after they loose the flowers. Nice video.
Not sure if you can still see this comment/question. I followed your very informative video because I adopted a dehydrated orchid. But I’m a beginner and I’m trying to watch the orchid for signs that I helped alleviate the problem. I know I should have more patience and that there is probably variable answers to this question. But , if I’m doing right by her, how long should the leaves on my phalaenopsis start showing signs of improvement / just do I know I’m on the right track? They are still floppy, wrinkled and leathery.
Thank you very much for your videos :) How do you water the Orchid when you repot it in a clay one?
Help ! I received a Phalaenopsis orchid a few weeks ago as a gift and the first time that I watered from the bottom and let it drain well the roots turned back nice and green. The next I watered I put some orchid food in the water and now a couple of the roots look swiveled and did not turn back green like they did the first time. I am thinking that I may have put to much orchid food in the water. Other than the 3 or 4 roots that have swiveled my orchid looks good. It is in full bloom and the leaves and roots on the inside are nice and green and I plan on transplanting my orchid after blooming is over, remove any dead roots and plant it in fresh media soil for orchids. My question is Should I take it out of the tiny container it came in and rince the soil and roots in case I used to much orchid food so it won't burn up the roots, or should I just let it continue to dry out until my next watering ? Any answers or advice from those of you who are exsperienced with orchids would be appreciated. Thank you & God Bless
I have a couple of orchids that I would like to have looked at, or tell me what I am doing wrong and one is wrapped with a moss ball and I don't know how to care for it completely... How could I send information / pictures?
Help, my orchid I s dying, I think!! she still has 2 green leaves , but it looks like it's stem is changing color, and the blooms are drying up 😕😔
How long before I should see a difference in floppy dehydrated leaves? Please reply. Thank you.
Hi Dani.. i have question. Can i mount my stressed orchids? I found drift wood at the back of my house, I cleaned it, scrubbed and sprayed peroxide. Please do reply 🙏🏼
Such an interesting video! So it´s ok to cut the stem of an old Phalaenopsis as long as there are new aerial roots coming above where you cut? My orchid has such a long stem and it´s getting difficult to keep her balanced in the pot:)
Hi Danny, I have one orchids that has a black hole on a bulb, could you please give me some advise on what to do to treat it?
missorchidgirl can you help me I have a Dracula tubeana ( mokey faced Orchid) and a Dendrobium specisum v.hillii orchids can you please tell me the best way to water them they are both in a bark/clay balls/ vermiculite is it best tho stand them in water so the bark can soak up the water or put it under a running tap regards kevin best
Hi can I do this in winter ? The leaves are leathery and slight yellow lines on the edge of the orchid My orchid is not doing well. Roots are mostly Brown . And only one or two are green. I got it from a friend recently so am new to looking after orchids. Perhaps new orchid mix?
What about buying the orchid and finding out that it is almost void of roots???
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and know how on Orchids. I have 3 orchids that I picked up at the grocery store several weeks ago. I followed all of your directions on disinfecting and repotting. Fortunately I saw nothing that looked like it was attacking the orchids but the leaves on all of them are limp and leathery they just flop over the sides of their pots. I water by immersing them for 15- 20 minutes 1x a week and in between watering if the bark gets dry I mist the roots well. They are in plastic pots with holes all around. Is it possible they need watering more often. The roots look green and plump. I’m at a loss any suggestions ? Thanks
Hi! Ive got a weird situation with my phalaenposis which I bought a few months ago from Home Depot. It came in sphagnum moss, and I repotted it in Miracle Grow bark medium. It is in a shaded, east-facing window. The roots were in terrible shape when I repotted; I attempted to cut some of the roots and what happened was that lots of vellum came off leaving the string inside. The strings continue to grow, but the remaining roots w/vellum look horrible. None of the vellum are green. The leaves are leathery and limp, but the flower spikes are still green. I water this particular orchid twice per week. Any advice for me and my poor orchid?
I would really appreciate any advice, and I am happy to provide photos. Thank you so much, I love your channel!
Missorchid.. I recently bought a phaleonopsis Zheng. It came in spghnum moss in plastic pot.so I repot in charcoal & cocopit. But the leaves turned yellow n dropping. What should I do now? One leaf also HV some black rod like structure
I have had an orchid sitting on low light at our office for just over a year. It was left in my bosses car from noon-2 when I rescued it. It has sunspots and split, limp leaves. I didn’t know she was going to move it so I had watered it about 30 mins before. Idk how to save it. The top leaf is just thin and flopping. It’s also split. Any advice?
Why is my orchid leaves starting to turn upward? It is in water culture.
Does anyone know where one can purchase the clear plastic pots for orchids?? I'm not seeing any locally in stores. Thanx
Carla T The website rePotme sells a bunch of different orchid pots! They also have options to buy just a single pot or multiple, which is helpful if you don’t want a ton of empty pots around the house!
