Hey Nancy, You’re very welcome. Be sure to check out the “new orchid” video. Good luck ✌🏾

It can be. I’ve had plants that was down to the crown that came back. It’s a long road though. Skim through some of the videos. There should be one or two that can help you out. Good luck✌🏾

Right! My Bose are 2+ and like new.

Honestly it’s not a bad idea to cut them. It truly is an energy thing. I’ve found I may get a secondary spike but end up not getting a new spike the following year. Whereas if I cut it the foliage will get to growing quick. But some people would rather have a secondary spike Thanks for stopping by and making a comment. Good luck✌🏾

Thanks for the feedback. I love a good experiment. I think I'm turning into a bit of a orchid nerd in my senior years. That's what my daughter said. ​@@RandyMHarris

Something right!!! Nah, I wish I had some super cool secret to reveal in a fancy video that got 1,000,000,000,000 views….. but unfortunately I don’t. It’s getting partially neglected like everything else in my life.😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for stopping by. ✌🏾

It’s just the Better Gro brand from the big box hardware stores. Last forever

Watch a few of the other videos. Like “Know your roots” Once you understand about the root system it’s easier to know what they need as far as care! Good luck✌🏾

Try, the water only method. www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRKsw956/

Thank you…. They can be found at Callaways nursery

Sounds like it’s not getting enough water. How many good roots do you have left?

Not many roots left. Plump roots that grew before I repotted are not dead. I water once a week

Use can use rocks, wood chips or even go without… it is a good to have not must have….. Yes, clip the dead roots. Good luck✌🏾

Linda….. Thank you for visiting the page and even more for the kind words. It really means a lot…✌🏾

Welcome!!!

Fuck you!!! Find another video. Ungrateful fuck!!!! Hope your shit is broke, broke. Was that to the point fast enough for you?????

So 2 blooms in 3 years is not that uncommon. 1 week blooms is odd. Are you still feeding during bloom? If so are you using a bloom formula?

There are few few places in the US you can plant outside. It’s either too hot, too cold or too sunny.

Hello August, What’s going on with it?

That can be tricky. They are ok out of the pot but have to be misted often to stay hydrated. You could repot the plant.

Truth be told, until I remember I put it in there. 10-15 minutes is good. But if you forget and leave it a day or two it will be fine also. Just be sure to let it dry completely before watering again. Good luck✌🏾

Noooooooo……..😂 never put an orchid in soil. It smothers the roots and causes rot. Find either some fir bark or Spag Moss. If all else fails clean it up and put it in a jar of water. BE SURE TO CHANGE THE WATER EVERY FEW DAY! good luck!!✌🏾

@@RandyMHarris Thank you 🙏🏻 I just got the bark .Help appreciated

@@Quindr7247 there’s a few reporting videos on my channel, if you need them.

@@RandyMHarristhank you I will have a look at them. Can I use moss to put it on the top of the pot? Is that of any benefit? I’m struggling in how and when to water the orchid 😢. One has completely lost the leaves I’m trying to revive it 😢. After repotting how do you know the plant is doing ok? I just checked and the roots seems to get more and more damaged. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong 😑

You’re welcome✌🏾

You’re welcome…. Good luck. Good music, good beverage and enjoy the process!!!! ✌🏾

I truly appreciate that!!! ✌🏾 Thanks for stopping by.

Over watering is not a matter of how much water you use at any given time, it’s more about how long the roots are subjected to stale, non oxygenated water. I have some plants growing directly in jars of water. But the water is changed out often. If your plants are in moss or bark water then good and let them dry completely before watering again. Hope this helps!!!

Thank you for explaining! But I'm still confused. They were in what they came in- bark and moss or whatever inside a plastic container with holes. I think they were dry but when I watered them they suddenly started dying. One of them looks like the roots are good. The others roots were all rotten. I wish I understood exactly what was going on. I don't know if what I did was ok but I was desperate. The one with the bad roots, I pulled off all the rot, repotted it in the same medium (I know bad move but I don't have anything else) and then watered it. The other one I just left and hoped for the best. But they definitely look like they could use bigger pots (why do they put them in these tiny cups?) If I'm going to get new pots and moss I need it to be cheap and I need to order it online. Do you have any suggestions? The day I got these three orchids my thoughts were "how absolutely stunning!! In a very short time I will either be running a morgue or a hospital" Prophetic words :(

@@justincase7848 hey Justin, honestly sometimes it’s unexplainable as to why they go downhill. Maybe something was in the water? How long did it take for them to show signs of stress? They need smaller than logical pots cause they like their roots to be compact. Watch the “Know Your Roots” on my channel. It should help things make more sense. Good luck✌🏾

​@RandyMHarris thank you. About two months. Yes it's frustrating because it all seems counter intuitive to what I would do with other plants...

I need details before I can commit😂

​@@RandyMHarrislol!!

Interesting!!!!!

So sorry to hear about your sister. What condition is the plant in? Shoot me a message on Instagram at instagram.com/blkorchidproject?igsh=ZDhraTViYnZrdXhx Maybe I can give you a direct solution.

Thank you!!!!! I do what I can…..

You’re welcome

dr delphinium… be sure to walk the orchid house. May be a little blah right now but in late winter it’s amazing.

Sometimes you win big sometimes it’s a little harder but I’m sure it’s still alive. Just needs a little TLC. Good luck👊🏾

😂 no, if they are not acclimated to direct sun they burn fast, kinda like us. I have had a couple that I left out on the patio from spring and they were able to withstand the sun better. We are talking Texas sun too.

There should be one, just not sure which one🤦🏾‍♂️ In short, keep caring for it as you are, be sure to mist the new roots to keep them moist. Once 2-3 of the roots get 1-2 inches cut it off below the roots and pot it as you would any orchid.

This may be my favorite comment ever!!!!

Thanks for watching

Really just some spaugham moss or orchid (fir) bark. Both can be found at the hardware stores. If it’s out grown its pot, a new pot just a little bigger than the roots. That’s pretty much it.

Indirect sun is best. Grow lights work also.

You want it just a little larger than the roots. Smaller is better than larger. Sometimes they can go back in the same pot, depending on why you are repotting it.

Yes, it can go back in the decor pot. Clear pots are not necessary. They really don’t photosynthesize as much as people think through their roots.

So when we say overwatered, that doesn’t mean overwatered on a single watering. That means the plant is sitting in water that becomes stale and stagnant, which causes the roots to mold and rot. The plant itself can actually live in a jar of water as long as the water is exchanged often, the best thing to do is to soak your plant so you know it gets very hydrated. Let it drain and then don’t water it again until the roots are completely dry.
