I've found that they rather want misting over the medium instead of watering. This is South African climate
Hi Danny, I wonder if it's okay to repot orchid when it has flower spike growing? (No buds yet). Because i got my new orchid from nursery and its spaghnum moss is full of algae...
You can repot it but the stress might mean the orchid sacrifices the flowers. But in your case the health of the plant is probably worth it
Danny has videos on this. Search her 2,000+ videos.
Here's what I have discovered about my Sarcochilus - they do not like to be put in large pots, they seem to like to be slightly pot bound. They don't like to sit in water, I drain them well when watering. They often send roots from the middle of the stem down into the growing medium, haven't figured out why yet. I often have to cut off old growth as it turns yellow, and the plant seems to appreciate it. Some bloom, some do not - this orchid is still a mystery to me! But the flowers are so rewarding so I keep trying!
To anyone in Toronto, I get all my orchid supplies at Grow it All. It's a small, independent business over 20 years. Fantastic people! And their Hanging Basket Slow Release fertilizer is identical to Osmocote. ❤
The flowers are gorgeous!💜 I love the contrast.
Please do a Sarcochilus care video!
Hi Dany! Thanks for the video. The sarcochilus are kind of a mystery at the moment... I still havent figure out how to grow them well so any of you video on the subject is great!
I have a water softener for most of the house’s water but also a RO system with a separate tap for our drinking water. I only use the RO water for watering my plants as I found the softened water to cause a lot of leaf crisp/burn on more fragile plants… might be ok for most orchids but my philodendrons and alocasias did not enjoy softened water.
Oh, Danny, I just recently had to compost the mature sarcochilus I got off eBay a few months ago. It arrived a mangled mess, no thanks to the Dept. of Agriculture here in CA. I did my best to save it, but the leaves all yellowed and I found out it had lost just about all of its roots. I’m going to enjoy your repotting video while I figure out where I can find a relatively local seller of these orchids, so it doesn’t get destroyed again.
Our water softener uses salt. I water all my indoor plants, including my entire orchid collection, with softened water and with absolutely no problems. People often think that softened water will taste salty because salt is used in the softening process. In fact, that salt does not enter the water supply. The salt is used to regenerate the resin beads in the ion exchange process that softens the water. An 8 ounce (237 milliliters) glass of softened water generally contains less than 12.5 mgs of sodium which is well within the U. S. Food and Drug Administration's definition of "very low sodium." I wish I could afford to use softened water on all my outdoor plants. Our hard water leaves hard water spots on the leaves of the outdoor plants that are nearly impossible to remove.
Do you still have your Renanthera Monachica in semi hydro? If not, will you do an update? I've been struggling with mine for 2 years now!!
Repotted my grocery store bought orchid, my first ever report, into spagnum moss. However it’s doing very poor now. I had to remove a lot of dead roots during the repot but there were 2 long roots and multiple small roots left. Now some of the leafs are drooping and one other long root start to shrivel. Any tips on what to do next? I have fertilized and watered the plant. The medium is hydrated and not too densely packed.
Using water that had been softened burned the roots of most of my orchids. The phalenopsis were hit especially hard. The cold water in my kitchen sink isn’t hooked up to the softener but the warm water is. When I used slightly warmed water in the winter, it burned the roots.
I have a full purple orchid root on my phalonopsis somone teach me about purple roots bc I’m not sure I’ve beaver seen one and I have like 5 orchids it’s bright purple
Hi! I also had a water softener at my house, but in the kitchen there was an added faucet that had the softened water going through a reverse osmosis filter. That was the water I used for my orchids and they did very well.
Danny - where do you buy the straight sided clear plastic pots that have round holes that you use?
Don't use softened water on plants. They don't like it at all. Keep using the r/o water.
I have a water softener but, do not use it for the orchids. It burned my orchids before I learned how bad it is for them😱😩
I just killed my sarcochillus it got too cold never had the chance to see it bloom , I love those orchids
Are you growing Sarcochillus under lights?
Also your plant at 14:30 seems to have spider mites, at least I can see a few webs on the flowers 😢
You should try to visit Miami for the International Orchid Festival . its under Tamiami international orchid show , January 17-20, 2025 from 11am to 6pm daily January 17-20, 2025 from 11am - 6pm daily, plus it will be cool or at least 70 degrees / 21 Celsius. unless its colder which doesn't go below 50. there's a lot of stuff on RUclips if you want to check it out. I drive down from Orlando all the time plus I have to visit family before they disown me

Hi, I’m not American and don’t live there, so visiting orchid shows in usa is next to impossible, not to mention I cannot bring anything home, not allowed to bring organics from outside the EU 🤭
Please do whatever you want with your hair!! Love your channel!!
Seriously, that one comment was so out of line and rude.
For water softening, if the salt you use is potassium chloride it's fine, but sodium chloride will kill your plants. This is from a lifetime of experience of using softened water. Use hard water or water softened with potassium chloride. It is 6x more expensive here but worth it to me to not contribute to sodium hazard to plants.
Hi, yep will be sodium chloride due to cost :)) ok thanks for the insight! 🧡
In the Toronto area is Crystal Star Nursery. Small growers that are mother, father and daughter owned and run. They also have great orchid supplies.
I actually bought a sarcochilus from them about a month ago!
Hi! We do have a softening system for our well. My orchids "survived," but when i started bypassing the softening system and using just well water, they started thriving. In the summer i use rain water though. I live in the US, where it gets very cold, so i have to let the well water warm up first. 😅
Walmart is like Amazon. They sell their own merchandise nd products but they do provide warehouse service for other sellers too like Amazon does. That is why you see things sold at Walmart online even if they aren’t directly from Walmart
Yeah i have this orchid o water it maybe 1 every 2 weeks if i use spagnum moss i have it outside for sun from sunrise to 11a.m. they do well outside i do use mire spaghnum than wood but you see to have a goid mix. Im in florida so its like 80f right now. I have a clear plastic pot with lots of airation or use one of those black pond planters. But it should do way better in that container.
We have had a water softener for 25 years. I have grown African Violets, rubber trees, ferns, Xmas cactus etc. We use larger salt chunks. We have hard water in Alberta. We don’t replace faucets etc anymore.
I am not an experienced orchid grower, I made every mistake! 😂 I have been growing them off and on for about 8 yrs. Biggest problem was lack of light, old media, lack of fertilizer, etc.
I have not had salt buildup on the orchids, Phals.
I have been drinking the water since I was 40 yrs old, I do not have salt issues in bloodwork.
Try both on a couple of Phals.
Let me know if you see salt buildup. Please take a close up photo, I could be missing something.

PS: I followed all of the links you provided, they all worked!
I’ll see if the Canadian links work. Thanks Carol
We have a soft water system but it does not treat the cold water, only the hot. Also, I don't think it filters to our kitchen sink water. I use our kitchen sink water for all of my plants, including my Calatheas.
Love Love Love the hair color! ✨
Thank you
I agree with you Dani (I hope that's how to spell your name). I have a white and pink big lip phal and it is in bloom right now and I love the roundness and contrast between pink and white! Love your vids and hope your Sarcs do well!
I just bought 2 sarchocilis today! They are not in bloom but one is red/white and the other is yellow! Hoping I can do well with them. Also, I have the same tray from ikea and really like it.
Amazon has lots of great Orchids products for Australian watchers
Your Sarcochilus is so cute! My orchid wish list keeps getting longer :)
The blooms are adorable, I think my climate is not suitable for them, but I may try one to see how it does!! I just got a Zygopetalum and crossing my fingers and toes that I will be able to grow it well!
I have a water softener system and a ro system in my kitchen sink. The salt content in my water is a lot lower than before- despite having a huge tank of salt.
Thanks!
