My husband bought me an orchid yesterday that was potted in what looked like regular potting mix. It was very wet and I could see through the plastic that the roots were dying. I careful removed it and picked all the dirt off it and washed it under the sink. I clipped a few of the dead roots but didn't want to go too crazy. I used orchid soil I got at the hardware store. It's like mulch. I hope I did a good job and nothing happens to it. It looks healthy!

I am very glad you have made so many videos about so many aspects of keeping orchids. I have learned pretty much everything I know from you and your channel is my first port of call when I get a new type. I bought what I think is a no ID Oncidium, from the spike that had lost all its flowers, and a named Zygopetalum Sensation today from the marked down area of a garden centre. Both were very dry and the pseudobulbs were wrinkled but the foliage was green and not floppy so at £1.50 each I took a chance. I’ve given them a good soak and the bulbs look like they are starting to swell. The Zygopetalum had some nasty black areas at the tip of several leaves so, using your advice, I trimmed them to healthy tissue and coated the cut edge with cinnamon. Without your videos I would have walked straight past them. Thank you very, very much.

I just reported an orchid that is near and dear to my heart because of who gave it to me. It is scary that I might have done something wrong but I tried to be very careful and cautious thank you for what you do Danny I have learned so much about Orchids through your videos. 🥰

Dani, thank you for directing me to this video. This really is very educational and has put it on my favorite orchid video.

Thank you for your videos!! I was given an orchid as a gift and all of your videos that I watched gave me the info to care for it properly.

You have saved me and my orchids many times over, thank you so much!!

Thank you for this Danny! I learned a lot especially the bit about 'working with your orchid' when choosing to change the medium completely. A very good mindset to have not just with orchids, but with every kind of plant we choose to take care of :)

My orchids are looking so good thanks to you.

Another wonderful video! I am glad thst I watched this tonight, I have a few orchids to repot into Orchiata! I am excited for my journey, I expect setback but my African violets will be my refuge!

Thanks for these excellent tips, but really wish you had mentioned the soaking part before repotting in your ‘repot’ video 🤷‍♀️

Thank you Danny for so many thoughtful videos to help us understand how to care for our orchids. I currently have one showing a flower spike starting, and another plant growing what may be either a root or flower spike--too soon to tell right now. It's so exciting 😊

I wish she had mentioned the risks of changing soils too abruptly in her other videos about repotting orchids. I just repotted a couple orchids following her other videos and now I'm finding out the roots will not do well because they went from moss to a dry soil 😢

Hi Danny. Love love love this video. So much info shared and many important facts. Wish I had this much info a year ago. But whatcha gonna do, or what to do. Anyways many many thanks.

Great video Danny, so educational. Thanks a lot

Important video to watch. Thank you for making this video.

Experience is something you get just after you need it (just finished a big re-pot of eight ;-)

Great video! Learned so much and cleared up some repotting apdation issues. Kept telling myself "be patient". Going home from Hawaii and haul of 7 seeding orchids instead of 1 from Akatsuka Orchid Gardens. Highly recommend going if you visit the Big Island. Love their staff, helpful, knowledgeable and great interactive orchid maze not to mention their in bloom orchids. Now the wait and care for 1 year for these babies. Will be waiting for oncidiuem repotting. 😄

Hi Dani, Thank you for this incredibly informative video!! So helpful!

Great video. Thanks, Dany!

hey danny ! thats an excellent video i was thinking while watching your video on the next haul if you want to do this it's up to you , but when you get a new orchid you could maybe show us how you adapt it , show the process if roots die what you do to help it adjust etc..or if they don't and they grow really well. To film the progression over a long term might be cool for your viewers to see the hands on visual aspect! i learned a lot of new things by watching your video today , and thank you so much for your effort i really appreciate it! xoxoL.

I repotted a phal that I got on sale at a big box store's garden center after it was done blooming. It was in super packed moss that took forever to remove. I had trouble getting moss at the time, so I used Repotme bark mix. I live in a low desert climate - very dry and low humidity. Bark does not work in my setting. The phal is growing new leaves but is clearly dehydrated - even though I water it by a 10 min soak in a clean cup. Thanks to your tips, I will be repotting it in moss with a bit of bark blend. I have learned so so so much from you! Thanks, Dani!

14:26, "and a month later we see that the roots are dying off and the orchid is declining." ... and wishing that I'd discovered your channel two months ago!

Thank you!!! I have a mini phalaenopsis that I'd gotten from the hardware store on a whim, and need to soon repot it into a container with proper airflow/drainage. I almost ordered a mix with bark chips but, thanks to your videos, got a mix with sphagnum moss instead. That should work a lot better for this case. I knew nothing about orchids going in but your videos have really helped me learn some things so that I can help give my orchid the best chance with this repotting. You make everything so easy to understand, and the level of detail you give is so helpful and informative.

Thank you as always for a great video!

Very interesting Danni could you please do an full update on your Vanda as I'm starting to get into growing them

Thank you so much for all of your videos!!!

Super informative! I just cut back my flower spikes on my phal a week ago after a beautiful bloom cycle. I will be repotting it into leca so I can move into semi-hydroponics! I'm looking forward to it and will make sure to follow are your tips!

I have 2 cattleya plants that are 36 years old, I took over from my mother. Unfortunately potted in ordinary sand years ago. And now watching your video I think it is time to repot one which is struggling. Never flowered in my care and struggling to bring seasonal shoots. I must start now in our spring weather

I love this video. I am getting ready to repot some of my orchids. I got a lot of good information about mediums and roots. You mentioned growing orchids using semi-hydroponic method, Do you have a video discussing semi-hydroponic growing of orchids? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Great info!

Hi Dani, thank you for this video! I tried water culture and my orchids are not liking it. I am wanting to transfer them back to bark but wasn’t sure how I would do that without shocking them to much. I also just got an intergeneric orchid on discount and transferred it to bark and perlite because I don’t have any experience growing in moss. Any tips would be appreciated. Happy growing 🌱

Hi Danni I love your videos,every video is so informative.i have a question..I recently purchased a phalenopsis orchid and repot it on bark chips.the roots were not in good condition and now it's leaves are drooping and not showing any improvement.can I repot it again in other medium? Well I live in North India and temperature is like 23 degrees.so can you suggest me a better medium for my phalenopsis?

Oh geeze oh geeze oh geeze now I'm freaking out. I had to get my first orchid into a new pot cuz it was in it's pot from Walmart. (*I won it in a raffle) but now I'm scared I messed up badly somehow. Ooooooh geeze.

How are they doing?

Hi Danny! I'm new to Phal Orchids and I've been watching a lot of your videos, which are super helpful, thank you for sharing such useful tips! :) I have recently repotted several of my Phals from bark to bark and, while some of them are doing really well and creating new leaves, others seem to be declining. I notices white spots on the bark inside the pot and I'm slightly concerned about it. It is not hard water residues (I filter my water and it's not present on the surface), not mould (fortunately). But it has sort of a mushroomy smell, so could it be a kind of fungus? Maybe I've overwatered after repotting? What would you suggest? Thank you!

Quick question for you on repotting / transferring a phal to S/H --- the one I have an issue with is currently in a clay pot and some of the roots are super attached to the clay pot...do they release on soaking? I have so many roots coming out of the holes etc that I will break the clay pot to get it out and free it but I worry that the healthy roots that are attached to the clay pot will be damanged - do you have any advice on these?

i purchased and repotted my phals from spagnum moss to cocohusk for and they looked sick after 3 days. I repotted them back to spagnum just today after watching this video. I hope they recover.

Hello! I was going to replant several of my plants. The have spikes that are growing. Should I wait until the blooms are exhausted???

Hello, Danny! I just re-potted my phal schilleriana from full moss to mix bark and moss. Now the newest leaf is slightly drooping 😭 there were new root growths and I don't think I destroyed any roots. What should I do? I've been keeping it moist but not too moist like the sphag. Please help 🙏🙏🙏

My orchid bloomed once, changed the medium, trimmed like i was suppose to 3 nodes, put holes all over a plastic pot for air, the leaves are green, just February 2020 it started to get some kind of branch that looked like it was starting to get blooms on it, but they dried up and died, was fertilizing it, weekly , so i cut the middle stem down to another node, now the main stem is getting yellow.....keep it in a western facing window no other place to put it so i have a grow light started putting it in front of it (once), when the water drains out of the pot i then put it in a plate with stones but let the water drain out of the pot so it does not sit directly in the water. I keep it in the window in front of the kitchen curtains at night so hopefully in Pensacola Florida it was no to cold but pull it back during the day, not far, Now that it is getting warmer I'll keep it there. Hopefully it starts to get flowers......2-29-20

sandy girl mine was the same way, my orchid grew 4 new leaves, 4 months later, no new leaves but then two of the older leaves started to turn yellow, my first initial thought was some pest in my post or spider mites, as I was replacing the orchid potting mix with new, I found a new node forming!! The yellow leaves fell off completely. It went a full year before the new node came in.

Thanks a lot for everything you do. Please could you give me an advice. I repotted my orchid yesterday and I am afraid that I stressed her a lot. What can I do now? When to water it or fertilize how to help her to recover? Thanks for instance! ❤️

MissOrchidGirl OK thank you Danni.

My phalaenopsis has deep green patches on multiple leaves after I switched it from overly wet sphagnum moss to bark. I was worried it was getting root rot from the wet moss from the nursery. The roots looked pretty healthy so I thought it would be alright after the repotting but now it's miserable and I don't know what to do. It's in a humid, warm room with bright indirect light now

Why do I have a setback when I repot my phals to the same type of media? I am using sphagnum moss. When I unpotted them there were a few rotting roots, but overall they were healthy. Within a month after repotting I have noticed that some of my phals have lost more than half of their roots!! Please help me understand!

After transplanting, from bark to new bark orchid medium, the roots may die, the roots were rinsed and placed gently after removing dead roots…so when do I water if the orchid isn’t shock?

What do you mean by gradually get it used to the new medium? If moving a moss phal to all bark, how do I slowly get it used to bark? Water more often? Or every repot add a little more bark than moss? Thank you!

I have a question about re-potting. I am new to growing orchids. And when I brought it home it’s roots were rotting the pot did not have drainage so the roots sat in water and was put in a corner to die. (I rescued it from my workplace) so I had to cut rotted roots it’s been 2 months and there is new growth starting. Do I re-pot or just leave as is for now? It has new roots growing and a new leaf

Hi Dani, I have a question I use bark medium for my phals. But i have noticed that the medium dries out from the top half but the bottom half it's still moist and this is in 2-3 days from watering the plants. Is it normal/okay for the plants or how could I fix it? (The medium is fine bark chips) thank you in advance. Love your videos💕

Hahahahaha, i wish i'd watched this a couple months ago...my poor mini phals loool...this explains so much.

One of my Phalaenopsis plants shed all of it's flowers after I repotted it. I bought it from a big box store. My other two plants that repotted showed no signs of transplant shock.

I just repotted a phal that was gifted to me into a bark/charcoal medium; it pretty quickly lost 3 leaves but the others seemed healthy so I thought this was just the shock of a new environment. Then a few days ago the orchid accidentally received some direct sunlight and now the remaining 3 leaves seem to be wilting so I’m worried I damaged the roots or am underwhelming it (1/wk)...Is there anything I should do to help it get back on its feet? Thanks for all the fabulous videos, they are a big help!

Hello! I repotted my phalenopsis and haven’t seen any roots yet. It’s been 4 months, the leaves are going but no roots. Any thoughts?

Where have you been all my orchids life haha

I noticed that your orchids are always in a closed pot I thought I had to use the pot with the holes all in it can I set that pot down inside of a larger pot and do I water through the top or the bottom?

My bf gave me and orchid and I need to repot it because there’s no air flow and the pot is too small for the roots. It is winter her in California, should I wait until next year to repot my plant ?

My friend has over 20 phalaenopsis orchids mostly in a south facing window with no filter from the sun and the media is so hard and dry I wonder how they live never mind bloom, but 4 of them are blooming now. I watch all these orchid videos and baby my orchids, and they die! Also, hers has a lot of aerial roots, and mine has none. What am I doing wrong

Can you transplant orchid when it bluing.

My orchids had some kind of bugs on the roots so I had to spray with hydrogen peroxide and repot . All the beautiful flowers started to fall off on my orchids at the same rate basically. And the roots started shriveling up .. i don't know what I'm doing wrong 😭 I've had this issues in the past where I repot and the roots shrivel up and flowers just all fall off..

I have a no ID orchid that looks a lot like an Oncostele Wildcat 'Rainbow'. When I got it 3 months ago, absolutely every root was black and rotted through. It still has no roots at all (literally, not even a piece of a root), but it's pushing 5 new growths from a total of 4 pseudobulbs. I've noticed that 2 of the 5 new growths have completely stalled, 2 have dramatically slowed, and one is growing very fast. Is this a pretty normal growth pattern? Will the stalled growths resume growth at some point?

When I took it out all the roots were beautiful and healthy but the mix really had to be changed, it didn’t smell very well. So I cleaned it and all but the roots now are all spread and not compacted so it didn’t fit in the pot I had selected. I put in as much mix as I could but it was not much. Can I buy another pot and repot it again? It just does not have much mix right now. I don’t want her to suffer and go into a super bad stress status. Help!

I would repot it, the best rule of thumb is whatever size your pot is, go an inch above it, or for example to day I had to repot two phalaenopsis hybrids, they are pretty big and were in a 12cm pot, they weren't compacted, but had a lot of roots and i knew I needed to report anyway because it was from a shop and they are normally potted with that awful spoil pot thing in the middle, i put them into a 15cn pot and they have enough room to grow, but not so big, otherwise the media won't dry out in enough time and the roots could rot. Phals don't mind being a bit compacted but it sounds like yours is too small, I would go up an inch or 2-3cm if that helps. Make sure you check all the roots by gently squeezing them, also check the entire length of the root , it could look green and amazing lower down but higher up it could be black, the root would rot later and spoil the media. Be gentle and untangle the roots, they might get a little stress but they are really hardy and should be fine, just make sure the roots are wet.

I have a new orchid and it's flowering. Do I need to change my potting medium? It appears root bound and the pot is too small. I'm really nervous.

Your videos are great but I am in need of HELP. I have 5 phals and they've been doing well for a few years, lots of blooms. I decided to repot them all, as I had never done so and bought them without repotting. So I repotted, and that was almost 2 months ago and their leaves are all droopy and soft. I cut back any stems and flowers. I feel that when repotting I did it too loose - so when I water from the top, the water basically pours out the bottom. They all have nice looking air roots. I am not sure what else to do and I regret touching them in the first place :(
