Finally Danny is revealing her beautiful face my gosh she's my idol for the longest time, 9 years ago I was started my orchids. Don't hide your face again Danny your so beautiful like the orchids. I love watching your orchids video all the techniques/ideas with your orchids are applied to my Phals and yes its proven effective. Yeah for Danny's face reveal, she's my idol!
I watched a video on propagation from flower spikes. I clicked on it because I'm the suggestions it said you were subscribed. My daughter and I made three starts and they're growing! I never would've clicked on it had it not been for you being mentioned. Ky anytime I see it hear orchid hacks is suggestions I cross check with Danny. You should get some bracelets saying "WWMOGD" ( what miss orchid girl do) made😅. I'd buy one for sure!
Errr.. I'm not subscribed to any orchid channel and I don't support those videos actually. The keikis will likely not develop without the mother plant... Sorry 🤷🏻♀️ the only methods I believe are sustainable are the ones I present in my videos, can't vouch for anything else you see on the internet. But I do have keiki videos if you type it in the search bar 😊
@@MissOrchidGirl the channel's name was "męo vąt cuôc song." it could've said because I watch mid orchid girl, but I could've sworn it said you were subscribed. Anyways, it's been five days and I see growth on all three cuttings. My heart sank when you said they'd likely not make it, but I still have my fingers crossed!
I'm excited to report back! Out of the three pieces of flower spike we tried all three are showing growth!! We sealed the end of the cuttings with wax to prevent rot and massaged them with the juice from a piece of aloe vera for its root stimulating properties, put it on moss in a prop box and say it in the window. We started April 1. It's mid May and they're still going! I'll send pictures to your fb!
@@MissOrchidGirl I can't send messages to your fb page so I'll tag you in a post with the pictures. Thank you again for making me into an orchid lover!
Miss Danny I have a question that I haven't found an answer to it yet... WHEN should we start to fertilize new orchids from flowershop....cause they are allready filled with hormons and fertilizers, blooming boosters and so on....when can I start to give them fertilizer again...do I wait for a few months maybe a year? So I don't over do it?? 🤔
Danny I didn’t think it was possible for your videos to be any better, but seeing your face just takes your amazing content to a whole other level! We love you so much!
Yes! Why is that? Seeing her beautiful face and smile, which match her voice to perfection, somehow makes these videos even better (if that were at all possible). I have learnt so much from these wonderful videos ❤
This is the first year I have multiple Phals re-blooming on my watch so I know it’s not a fluke! I learned most of what I know about orchids from you & I am so excited that I finally got it right. Thriving & blooming & no longer just surviving! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience.💗
I am currently living in a sea of blooms. It's the first thing I see when I wake up, the last thing I get to enjoy before going to bed and always surrounding me while I work. Being surrounded by all this colour really is a wonderful experience, a little joy that calms my brain. I am so proud of my indoor jungle and when it comes to orchids, I could't have done it withou you - thank you!
I follow you for years and I have always admired your competence and kindness. I am so happy to see your face for the first time; you are exactly how I imagined you would be, lovely.
You are the Orchid Queen Danny!! I've been following your advice for some time now, and I've got 11 phals in bloom!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these amazing plants.
If you break a stem and it is not detached. CAREFULLY tape the break back together. Sometimes the stem will continue to grow and bloom. I’m speaking from experience 🤗
Same here. I bumped my favorite yellow big bloom orchid and the main stem snapped. So I MacGyver it with scotch tape and a small wood splint. It's still alive and blooming.
I was about to comment this myself. I recommend electrical tape (it's strong yet flexible, and not overly sticky). Wood from a toothpick or part of a popsicle stick helps as well to act as a splint. I have done this successfully with the tip of a flower spike. If you keep the stem supported, the plant will eventually heal the damage and the splint can be removed.
Omg I accidentally hit the thumbs down button when I went to hit replies😳. Please forgive me. I have also taped roots if I snap it but does not completely break off and have had good luck.
Yes! So glad she decided to start showing her beautiful face! I love the old videos since she does in fact have such a wealth of valuable information. But I love the connection we can have with her now that we also see her lovely face too!
Dear Danny❤️ Love your video’s! Love seeing your lovely face and love your makeup!! Keep up the good work🎉❤ Can you also maaaaybe remake all of your video’s but this time with the full Danny in them!!! Very pleasant to watch and listen🍀🍀🍀🍀
I received my first orchid (a phalaenopsis) in September last year with a beautiful flower spike with half the buds open. After the blooms ended around January (I’m in the southern hemisphere), I stuck it on my TV cabinet. It seemed happy without water for months on end but gradually one leaf got slightly droopy. I found out later why. The entire core of the potting medium was sphagnum moss! I decided it was time to learn to care for my orchid so I came to RUclips and found you! After watching your videos I searched shops to find the right pot and potting medium. I bought multiple products to get it right. rePotme wasn’t available in my area. Within three days of repotting I had a new leaf! Voila! I will be buying more orchids this winter. I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks for your fabulous videos! 😘
Thank you so much for answering my questions about aerial roots and repotting! I’m now going to watch your other videos on orchids. This is my first orchid, which was blooming when my daughter gave it to me. The blooms became spent, but the two leaves were very beautiful! My daughter thought the plant was dying because all the flowers died and she believed once the flowers were spent, the plant was DONE and she threw it in the kitchen’s garbage pail! Thankfully, I had something to discard and saw the plant. I immediately took it out and no damage had occurred!!!!! I am going to repot it, which lead me to your channel and your wonderful help! Thank you SOOOOOOO much--Debi
Yes! My small flower phal had a terminal spike, finally popped a keiki out about 6-8 months ago, and I am so shocked that it has 3 flower spikes this season already! I was in utter disbelief, but yes the small flowered phals bloom so much more!
About cutting the flower spike, one of my orchids is still producing a new flower spike and a new leaf at the same time. Should I cut the new spike in favor of the new leaf? It ‘s not summer yet, but I’m amazed that a new spike is coming. Thank you for being you.
Amazing! On the topic of light I can safely confirm that the more they get, the more they bloom. If they are put in darker spots they will not know what to do with the water you give them (root rot alert) and it will be just a green salad on a shelf
You mentioned phalaenopsis flowers that are fragrant. I would like to get more information on those and would love to find where I can get them. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Oh I love your channel! I received an philanopsis for my 70th birthday earlier this summer ~ and you have given me hope that I can keep it beautiful and thriving. And who knows, maybe even turn my studio into an orchid house! So excited!!! Thank you:)
You are a wonderful teacher. Your plants are beautiful as well as yourself. What I have learned is orchids are way to fussy for me. I have a lovely back enclosed porch very well lit with morning to late afternoon sun where i can keep them out of the direct light only problem it gets cold at night so I have to take them in,now I learn I am stressing them out when I move them. The list goes on and on. They are beautiful now that they are new and budding out but when they stop and I cut them back I will be done. If they grow fine but no more fussing. Thanks so much for what you do but a beautiful plant is not always a happy owner. Carol
Hey Danny! Ur videos are so inspiring and awesome! Finding ur channel completely changed the way I wanna care for my orchid hobby. At first the IDs of my phals weren't the most important thing for me, but you totally changed it. I'm so happy to find out all the names of my flowershop nameless orchids and I can't wait to find them all out! The orchid at 8:37 is one of my favourite ones, so I've spent a lot of time finding the ID and I got lucky yesterday! It's called Phalaenopsis Younghome Chocolate (big lip), I hope I was able to help here :'3 keep up ur great work!
Root rot. Don't water them as often or change the potting medium. Cut off those roots and spray the plant with dilute hydrogen peroxide then wipe them down after spraying with water OR use neem oil mixed with soap and water and spray it on to kill any remaining fungus/bacteria. They like it moist but they don't like sitting in water either. They need good airflow AND humidity which means not the roots but the leaves should be hydrated. Water the roots only when the potting medium feels dry.
Hi Danny I enjoy your videos so much. Wondering where you get your tin pots they are so colourful and pretty? Thanks for all your helpful information 😊
I'm in sw Florida, zone 10a. My kid bought me a Mystic Blue Phalaenopsis in 2022. It's now 2 years later, mid April. My plant is just now allowing me it's first stems/spikes since I got it. It was flowering when I got it, of course. I assume it will be white, not blue. I'm guessing you were talking about people whose didn't cut their stems all year long. I did cut my stem 2 years ago as it all started dying back. I'm just grateful I didn't kill her during those 2 years, lol. I'm so excited to finally get to see her Bloom again! Thank you for all you do to educate us fledgings. Hugs!
Hi Danny just became a subscriber I absolutely love your videos watch them all would love to see the subscriber only videos I've been growing for 37 years and grow in the far North Woods of Wisconsin USA we hit below zero fahrenheit weather in the winter so I grow under LEDs and a lot of heat
On the subject of fertilizers, I believe that Organic really IS better. When orchids are growing in nature, they receive ONLY Organic fertilizers. I switched to organics in the 1970's and I have never looked back! I have grown plants professionally and have also acted as advisor to gardeners of all types. If you stuydy more in depth, you will find that beneficial bacteria, assist the plant in many ways. Extensive reasearch has been done on this subject.
What a pleasant surprise to see your pretty face! I had you pictured with blonde hair but it's just good to see you. I have learned so much from you and am nursing my first phalaenopsis orchid which we received in Oct of 2021 from a neighbor. It is a giant bloomer and had 10 huge blooms and I cut it back and it produced another 6 blooms. It's April and I am watching the flower spike grow every day. I sit it outside in the winter here in Phoenix and it gets a lot of reflected light on the east side. Thanks for all your education on orchids and I tell everybody that asks to watch your videos.
Danny! Is it normal when i bought my orchids it have a lot flowers but then they fall out and now they having spike again in the old spike is it normal or no? my temperature in my area is at 15-18 C
Thank you! My orchid produces flower spikes and buds but each bud dries up and falls off one by one before getting before getting chance to bloom. This has happened 2 years in a row now. Side note: I love your orchid colored makeup :)
Wow amazing to see all your beautiful colorful flowers in bloom! And your pretty matching sweater! Definitely love finally seeing your face 😍 💕 Thanks for the tips!
I am sooooo jealous of your Mini Mark😱. The first time I saw one was on one of your videos a few years back and it took me over 2 years to find one. Finally, it arrived, quite small but it gave me 2 spikes this year but not many blooms. But, oh, so cute😍
I’ve had the same experience with regard to mini mark. I could not find one in Australia until a couple of months ago and it was very inexpensive although not a very big plant. I’m really nursing it along in the hope that I’ll get some blooms in our next spring. So exciting and can’t wait!
Hey Danny, I thought you might like to know, I found out what kind of Orchid that is at 0:27 (the yellow with magenta veins). In another one of your videos it was shown as a "No ID Phalaenopsis". But I found out it's a Phalaenopsis Dancing Butterfly x Kumquat. Hope this helps.
Good afternoon Danny, such a pleasure to see your pretty face at last. Now we can attach the voice to the face. I love the information and great advice you give from your channel. My orchids are thriving great. Thank you you're such a great teacher.
Awesome video and finally nice to see the person behind those hands we used to. My Phylanapsis orchids are just producing more leaves and no spikes yet. In one plant, the leaf size is nearly 40cm and it is dragging the pot down ( I had to add support). I have 8 plants, oldest one is 10 year old. What should I feed them to flower ?
I live in a tropical desert climate. I have two types of weather here; dry heat long summers that starts around late may to October, and what I considered winter might be autumn for others- 😅
Very helpful video. Sometimes it's nice to have all the basics in one video. I'm saving this one to my Pinterest board, "Orchid Care Information". Thanks Danni. And Happy Easter from Maine, USA 🐣
thanks for the info.i'm just starting to learn how to grow phalaenopsis, and it start for small flowers types. and i'm confuse whether to cut the old flower spikes or let it be, since it keep produce knop.
Thank you for this video! I’m new to orchids and I have done quite a few things wrong but with your guidance as the orchid guru with the best videos on RUclips I hope that I will become a good orchid mama. Seeing you has only increased my enjoyment of your videos. Long life and good health to you 🙏🙏😀
Question about pot size. When repotting and moving up in pot size, does the new pot still need to be a bit snug or is it okay to have a little bit bigger pot?
Your collection of orchids are as beautiful as you are and I admire your presentations. I have some cymbidium outdoor orchids but you’re inspiring me to start a collection of phalaenopsis to care inside the house. Thank you so much!
Hello, I'm new to orchids. I have a large orchid , and 3 miniatures. You mentioned to cut down the old spikes to start a new fresh season. At the beginning of the summer, that be early June. Would May also be okay? Enjoy your channel, thank you.
Videos are so helpful. They are a pleasure to watch. I have been growing orchids for 5 years now. I live in northern Michigan so sunlight is a winter challenge. I have 12 plants, 7 of which are in bloom, minis and maxis. These videos are easy to find on whatever topic I need.
Why did my orchid’s flowers wilt and began to fall off after I watered it. I ve had it almost 2 years and it bloomed more beautiful than when I first got it! The blooms were huge! Please help???
Hi! I just got started getting into orchids, I only have a “starter” phalaenopsis that I got from Trader Joe’s. Can you please share some tips where to get good orchids? I know local May be best as these plants may not ship well. Thank you for any tips
I am new to orchids. For your phals, do you ever worry about the heaviness of the flower spikes and the possibility of breaking? Or should they have some support?
If the weight seems to be too much or if the position of the flower spike is cumbersome or if the pot sits on a spot where damage can happen... some support is advisable.
I have been following you for a couple years and use repotme products. My Phalaenopsis are falling over and hanging over the edge of the pot to the point that they are pulling out of the media. Pots are 4” in diameter and the plants are large, green and appear healthy and growing. I’m getting ready to repot some of them. Should I go to a smaller pot, tuck air roots in to the media, move to a brighter location, don’t worry about it? I’m a little worried about their condition.
Hi! I too have learned a TON from Dani. When this has happened to me (twice now for all 3 of my Phals i've had for 6/5/5 years), i repotted to a deeper/larger pot &/or refreshed the medium. Hope that helps!
I have one that was growing like that, produced a massive, branching spike, and proceeded to yeet itself off the display table. Since I had to repot it anyway - it came out of the pot - I went up a size to the repotme 5”, and staked the now upright spike to help hold it. I find they’re less likely to lean in the larger pots, maybe because the roots are spread out, allowing you to plant the phal deeper in the pot. There is some truth to the wide, shallow pot. Too wide though and they dry out too fast.
Hi, Danny 😃 When cutting the flower spikes in the summer, how long should they be when you do that? 🤔 I am totally new to the game this fall, bought my first 5 Orchids on Friday 🤩 2 Mini and 3 Regular Phaleanopsis ❤️💕 I'm in love!! 🥰 Thank you so much for your help 😊 Hugs from Norway 🇳🇴
I once potted one pink phalaenopsis and one yellow one in the same large pot. The pink one had bloomed twice before when potted on it's own but when I potted it up together with the yellow one, it turned white the next time it bloomed????Is that normal? They had both bloomed before in their original colors purchased several years before after they were potted together the pink one changed to white the next time it bloomed. The yellow one stayed yellow. Any ideas? Esther
I just watched bud blast video and I had a issue with my orchid losing buds. I had a vase of freash flowers that died and I think it caused the issue because of the decomposing gas.😢
I've had mine for close to a year .all I've gotten is a tiny bud at the tip of the stake. That bud has not gotten big or nothing different has happened. I water it every Friday and it is in a well lit area and temperature is always controlled.
Oh my gosh, i'm completely in love with your beautiful phalarnopsis i love them❤🌸💜😘nice tips. Great presentation. I'm agree with i prefer a lot of flowers " not just one o two over there in the orchids

Wonderful I loved your Video
Please never stop making these videos. I haven't found any other channel that talks about orchids in the way you do. Love
Agreed
What is the best fertilizer for orchards?
Found her channel a few years ago, and it's still the best around
No one is more informative and has as much experience. She takes the time to explain. Amazing
Finally Danny is revealing her beautiful face my gosh she's my idol for the longest time, 9 years ago I was started my orchids. Don't hide your face again Danny your so beautiful like the orchids. I love watching your orchids video all the techniques/ideas with your orchids are applied to my Phals and yes its proven effective. Yeah for Danny's face reveal, she's my idol!

What causes black tips on PHAL roots? I had a new flower spike about 2cm long and then just disintegrated
Root rot. Don't water them as often or change the potting medium. Cut off those roots and spray the plant with dilute hydrogen peroxide then wipe them down after spraying with water OR use neem oil mixed with soap and water and spray it on to kill any remaining fungus/bacteria. They like it moist but they don't like sitting in water either. They need good airflow AND humidity which means not the roots but the leaves should be hydrated. Water the roots only when the potting medium feels dry.
Incredibly informative and very well put together. One of the best videos out there.

Danny! Is it normal when i bought my orchids it have a lot flowers but then they fall out and now they having spike again in the old spike is it normal or no? my temperature in my area is at 15-18 C
I've watched your videos for years, and never saw your face.. why did i think you were Asian 😂.. thank you for all your information ❤
Nope, actually Romania is in Europe 😝
Thank you!
My orchid produces flower spikes and buds but each bud dries up and falls off one by one before getting before getting chance to bloom. This has happened 2 years in a row now.
Side note: I love your orchid colored makeup :)
Wow amazing to see all your beautiful colorful flowers in bloom! And your pretty matching sweater! Definitely love finally seeing your face 😍 💕 Thanks for the tips!
I am sooooo jealous of your Mini Mark😱. The first time I saw one was on one of your videos a few years back and it took me over 2 years to find one. Finally, it arrived, quite small but it gave me 2 spikes this year but not many blooms. But, oh, so cute😍
I’ve had the same experience with regard to mini mark. I could not find one in Australia until a couple of months ago and it was very inexpensive although not a very big plant. I’m really nursing it along in the hope that I’ll get some blooms in our next spring. So exciting and can’t wait!
Wow! You are so pretty 😍 It's great to see your face after all this time. Your orchids are just stunning 🥳
Hey Danny, I thought you might like to know, I found out what kind of Orchid that is at 0:27 (the yellow with magenta veins). In another one of your videos it was shown as a "No ID Phalaenopsis". But I found out it's a Phalaenopsis Dancing Butterfly x Kumquat. Hope this helps.
That pullover of yours though 😍🥰 omg is it too weird asking where you bought it? 🙈 it's soooo pretty and you look stunning in it!
1 minute ago let’s gooooo first comment and love your content!!!!!
Good afternoon Danny, such a pleasure to see your pretty face at last. Now we can attach the voice to the face. I love the information and great advice you give from your channel. My orchids are thriving great. Thank you you're such a great teacher.
I have numerous orchids that have been blooming since Christmas. They get afternoon sun. Must like the window I have them in. ❤
Omg! I have the Ice Whisper too and mine puts out many blooms! Thanks for all your info!
Thanks for sharing. The new video format is great. Keep on with the wonderful work.
Hi Danny, Thanks for your tips on how to grow larger flowers orchids.
picked up my first one today and your videos are an endless supply of info. Thanks!
Awesome video and finally nice to see the person behind those hands we used to. My Phylanapsis orchids are just producing more leaves and no spikes yet. In one plant, the leaf size is nearly 40cm and it is dragging the pot down ( I had to add support). I have 8 plants, oldest one is 10 year old. What should I feed them to flower ?
I live in a tropical desert climate. I have two types of weather here; dry heat long summers that starts around late may to October, and what I considered winter might be autumn for others- 😅
Very helpful video. Sometimes it's nice to have all the basics in one video. I'm saving this one to my Pinterest board, "Orchid Care Information". Thanks Danni.
And Happy Easter from Maine, USA 🐣
thanks for the info.i'm just starting to learn how to grow phalaenopsis, and it start for small flowers types. and i'm confuse whether to cut the old flower spikes or let it be, since it keep produce knop.
Thank you for this video! I’m new to orchids and I have done quite a few things wrong but with your guidance as the orchid guru with the best videos on RUclips I hope that I will become a good orchid mama. Seeing you has only increased my enjoyment of your videos. Long life and good health to you 🙏🙏😀
Question about pot size. When repotting and moving up in pot size, does the new pot still need to be a bit snug or is it okay to have a little bit bigger pot?
Your collection of orchids are as beautiful as you are and I admire your presentations. I have some cymbidium outdoor orchids but you’re inspiring me to start a collection of phalaenopsis to care inside the house. Thank you so much!
I learn something new every time. Thanks so much. ❤
Hello, I'm new to orchids. I have a large orchid , and 3 miniatures. You mentioned to cut down the old spikes to start a new fresh season. At the beginning of the summer, that be early June. Would May also be okay? Enjoy your channel, thank you.
Videos are so helpful. They are a pleasure to watch. I have been growing orchids for 5 years now. I live in northern Michigan so sunlight is a winter challenge. I have 12 plants, 7 of which are in bloom, minis and maxis. These videos are easy to find on whatever topic I need.
Why did my orchid’s flowers wilt and began to fall off after I watered it. I ve had it almost 2 years and it bloomed more beautiful than when I first got it! The blooms were huge! Please help???
Finally. Your beautiful. Too funny. Glad to place a face with a voice. 😂😂😂
Hi! I just got started getting into orchids, I only have a “starter” phalaenopsis that I got from Trader Joe’s. Can you please share some tips where to get good orchids? I know local May be best as these plants may not ship well. Thank you for any tips
Help! My orcids are flowering, but the lower leaves are turning yellow and falling off! What am i doing wrong?!?]
Lovely collection🎉
Hello,from Spain!Why the leaves of my orquids become yellow?Sorry for my english.
I am new to orchids. For your phals, do you ever worry about the heaviness of the flower spikes and the possibility of breaking? Or should they have some support?
If the weight seems to be too much or if the position of the flower spike is cumbersome or if the pot sits on a spot where damage can happen... some support is advisable.
I have been following you for a couple years and use repotme products. My Phalaenopsis are falling over and hanging over the edge of the pot to the point that they are pulling out of the media. Pots are 4” in diameter and the plants are large, green and appear healthy and growing. I’m getting ready to repot some of them. Should I go to a smaller pot, tuck air roots in to the media, move to a brighter location, don’t worry about it? I’m a little worried about their condition.
It’s nice to see your pretty face!
All 4 of mine do the same thing! Hope there is an answer.
Hi! I too have learned a TON from Dani. When this has happened to me (twice now for all 3 of my Phals i've had for 6/5/5 years), i repotted to a deeper/larger pot &/or refreshed the medium. Hope that helps!
I have one that was growing like that, produced a massive, branching spike, and proceeded to yeet itself off the display table. Since I had to repot it anyway - it came out of the pot - I went up a size to the repotme 5”, and staked the now upright spike to help hold it. I find they’re less likely to lean in the larger pots, maybe because the roots are spread out, allowing you to plant the phal deeper in the pot. There is some truth to the wide, shallow pot. Too wide though and they dry out too fast.
@@tinngglyone I’ve got a bigger pot so when it’s done blooming I’ll try that. So far out of the pot it lays on the table. Thanks.
Hi, Danny 😃
When cutting the flower spikes in the summer, how long should they be when you do that? 🤔 I am totally new to the game this fall, bought my first 5 Orchids on Friday 🤩 2 Mini and 3 Regular Phaleanopsis ❤️💕 I'm in love!! 🥰 Thank you so much for your help 😊 Hugs from Norway 🇳🇴
Hi Dani! Great to see who is behind that lovely voice. But tell me, why did u decide to film your face? Much love xxx
I once potted one pink phalaenopsis and one yellow one in the same large pot. The pink one had bloomed twice before when potted on it's own but when I potted it up together with the yellow one, it turned white the next time it bloomed????Is that normal? They had both bloomed before in their original colors purchased several years before after they were potted together the pink one changed to white the next time it bloomed. The yellow one stayed yellow. Any ideas?

I just watched bud blast video and I had a issue with my orchid losing buds. I had a vase of freash flowers that died and I think it caused the issue because of the decomposing gas.😢
Great video! Can't wait to apply what I learned!
I have gotten 2nd blooms on the stalk. I don't cut the stalk off. Just my opinion
What is the name of that beautiful yellow and pink orchid you show in the beginning of your video?
On the FEED ME.... Time released vs the MSU.... Is one better than the other?
I've had mine for close to a year .all I've gotten is a tiny bud at the tip of the stake. That bud has not gotten big or nothing different has happened. I water it every Friday and it is in a well lit area and temperature is always controlled.
What breed is the second orchid (step number two)? It's gorgeous!
Where do you get those colorful pots? They make the orchids even more beautiful 😍
Not sure if this questions has been asked already. Do you still fertilize with orchid is still in bloom?
Awesome thank you. How often must I fertilize
What does it mean when I've had a plant with great leaves but hasn't grown a stalk in years
I just bought my first orchid. Is it okay to cut the flower spike if gets too tall?
If I need to cut back a sick orchid, how far to cut the stems to promote regeneration
Thankyou dani, very easy listening and smart tips
why dont you stake your orchid bloom spikes?
Mine isn't putting out any flowersplkes
I have and orchid and it has not bloomed in over a year. What can I do to make it bloom?
I saw where someone added rice soaked water? Is this good for orchids?
Oh my gosh, i'm completely in love with your beautiful phalarnopsis i love them❤🌸💜😘nice tips. Great presentation. I'm agree with i prefer a lot of flowers " not just one o two over there in the orchids
I have my first large blooms, so exciting. Love your tips.
It's always fun to see your very inspiring videos, thank you for always sharing.😊 love from Indonesia
