I rarely leave comments, but this is hands down one of the best (if not the best) intro to orchids I have seen. Learned everything the hard way when there was not much information available and can confirm each and every care tip given here.

It may sound crazy but here it is. I’m a beginner orchid enthusiast. I’ve always loved them. Wasn’t sure how to grow them. Glad I found your video. The orchid I have it present and I know it’s gonna sound crazy was extremely “silent.” it bugged me so I got down and investigated and found out she has outgrown her pot. So I put her in an orchid pot and believe it or not she is not as quiet. I’m glad I found you with your flower knowledge.

I've been so frustrated that my orchid wouldn't rebloom and it turns out I've been taking care of it too well! That's a first for my plants, lol.

What a contrast, tropical orchids by the window, the background is wintery with snow on the ground, two climates separated by a glass window. A real artist can’t fix everything but they sure can try.

Did he say the number 1 killer of indoor plants is “kindness and too much water”? 😂 I’ve rewatched that a few times and can’t help but think that’s what he’s saying. He wouldn’t be wrong at all haha

I’d much rather have the orchid than a bottle of wine! Thanks so much for the great information!

I have inherited 3 of my mums orchids and I’m feeling the pressure of keeping them alive and this has really helped. Her flowers are dropping off but I think I’ve been overwatering, under feeding and wrong area of the house. Thanks for this intro guide to orchids ❤

Apart from comparing them to wine, I'd also say that the level of maintenance required makes them more cost-effective and more rewarding than maintaining a husband 👍

I’m so happy i looked into really understanding why my orchids weren’t thriving anytime i would buy a plant. I def had a over fertilised/watered orchid so i cut her down, leaves are clean. Moved into my brightest room in indirect light for day then near my humidifier for the night with me in ac as it’s been super hot lately. Fingers crossed :)

I've never been able to keep Orchids alive. I did that ice cube BS and 💀 the one I have now is still alive, I've had her for bout a year now. I think she's not sending up a spike is cuz I've Never fed her, I can't even remember what color her blooms were 😅 I'm gonna order that Orchid food spray you showed and see what happens😊❤

Very helpful. I've had orchids in the past with little success. It's my 28th wedding anniversary and I'm giving orchids. This was super helpful.

Thank you!! My husband got me an orchid for my birthday, and I’m a notorious indoor plant killer. Excited to try to keep this one alive!

And the quarantine comment ☠️ 🤣
