    I appreciate you saying orchids are companions. Many people treat plants like objects or decoration when they are truly sentient. They deserve respect as living beings.

    Thanks, Dani, for another "From the heart" video to help us enjoy our "kids" more each day! Your enthusiasm is contagious and I love the little "side notes" you have that add a little smile to my face. I am going to be a 72 yr old man next month and am so enjoying all of my "kids"! Thanks for a great year, and I'm looking forward to following your channel again this year!

    I have to say ,I started in 2023 I was given an orchid when Mum passed away and the rest is history and I love them. I've lost a few in the way but I've saved a few from all your good advice .I've learned so much and when my flowers grew spikes and bloomed for the second year I was so excited and harvesting my first keiki was another big moment for me its successfuly growing and I'm delighted .Thank you for imparting your knowledge and I always tell people who need advice to check out your channel

    After many years of growing orchids, I finally treated myself to the Repotme fertilizers. Gasp! The difference in just 2 months of using this fertilizer is amazing! My orchid plants already look much healthier; and I'm seeing bloom spikes forming on several that have never bloomed! Great quality stuff! ❤

      Yep! Repotme fertilizers are different. However, I discovered that, unlike most other commercial orchid fertilizers, Repotme has available calcium in their solubles.

    Took me years to find it, but my favorite orchid will be the Dendrobium Phalaenopsis 'Sonia Earsakul'. The run-of-the-mill tropical dendrobium that folks widely use as cut flowers. But for how basic it is, it's the orchid of my childhood. My dad used to grow this specific variety and it hung up our backyard walls. Occasionally, he would snap off one of the flowers and give it to my mom over breakfast

    I totally agree with what you're saying about elitism hurting the hobby. I spent a long time getting my plant loving friend to give orchids a try, only for some snobs at a show to put him off. It makes me so sad because more people getting involved and being enthusuastic can only benefit the hobby, but snobbery hurts the whole community.

    Thank you so much for your videos! I found your channel a few years ago, when I still thought orchids were too challenging for me to keep. Eventually I bought my first Phal, and then two minis… and then the D. Berry Oda, all of which are thriving and blooming thanks to your amazing care guides :). Although all of them were inexpensive (less than 5€) they brought me much joy and I still get exited whenever I notice a new leaf or root 😀.

I have been watching your Orchid Care for Beginners for many years and will keep on doing so as there is always something to learn.
    Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎉🎉🎉

  • @leahnichol6665

    Thank you so much for all your videos, Danni. I have two mini phals, thanks to you. They grew really well last summer and are blooming now. The standard phal I have had for years has its first double bloom spike! I got distracted by amaryllis this winter which are blooming right now also. Such a joy in these wet grey dark days. I find the best practice for me is to look at my plants every day. Many I turn every day which keeps me looking at them all. That way I can notice what is changing and find out if it is a good change or a debilitating one. It helps me find issues quickly and gives me time to find out what to do.
    I hope you get renewed by repotme. I am using some clear pots with the slits in them and the minis love them so much.
    I have encountered the snobbism in the orchid world. It can happen in any area of study though. I find if I stick to doing my best with what I have and discipline myself to only have what I can comfortably care for, I gain the respect of the people I enjoy being around.
    I hope your home is a source of security and joy for you and your husband and all your pets prosper.

    Hello Danni, Thank you for another great year of orchid content. I've watched your videos for several years and you have saved my love for orchids. Moving from Florida to a much colder climate wrecked havoc on the orchids I brought with me (all died). I was going to give up until I watched your beginner videos and the spark hit again. I appreciate you sharing the great, the good and the bad (ants, mealybugs, thrips..) and the phenomenal flower display (simply stunning)
    Since you recommended (not forced) rePotme, I do and LOVE their mixes (can't do just spag in my environment, killed a few), so I hope they sponsor you again, you deserve it. You are a remarkable young lady, Thanks again Danni

    I love Epiphytes, I've had Tillandsia for years, I've had a few bromeliads, but, I'm just now getting into orchids with a small one I got from WalMart.
    I do have a goal of growing my own Vanilla, so I've got functional reasons to grow orchids, but I also just love the flowers, and the roots, and the leaves are pretty cool too.
    Alas, my orchid's flowers were eaten by a rat :/

    I discovered your videos 1 1/2 years ago, when I had trouble with my first orchid (terminal spike and a keiki forming) I recieved when szarting my current job. In March I placed my first Schwerter haul of 3 baby phals and now I have about 20 phals and five paphs.
    I struggle with providing the right amount of water and I believe i keep my phals in moss on the dryer side or way too wet. I need to figure out the right amount of water at the right time.

    I love orchids, but sadly I can't keep them alive for longer than a year or so. In my current apartment we do not get any natural light & even with my plant lights they do not last long. They start out great, putting out all kinds of new growth & flowers during the year & then suddenly they just start dying off.
    I still love your videos & have been watching them for years & you have helped me keep many of my orchids alive over the years, but it might be time for me to take a break for a bit...
