Thank you for describing “indirect light” in a way that FINALLY makes sense to my brain.

“The orchid should see the Sun, the Sun should not see the orchid.” 🤯

Thank you so much, I’m glad that’ll now be able to take care of the orchids correctly cause my moms just been watering it with both pots and it’s honestly a wonder that it’s still alive. Question though, what do I do if one of the leaves is split down the middle?

Thanks for your thoughts on ice cubes, it makes sense. I’m torn. My 80 year old FIL is a Plant Wizard and he uses ice cubes on his orchids and they are always looking fabulous! Lots of flowers and very healthy year after year 🤷‍♀️ this is why I’m torn. I too have a good luck with ice cubes but I’ve only had my orchids for a couple of years. I have a habit of over watering everything. The ice cubes help me control how much I water.

My mom got me a tiny orchid 5 years ago and it’s still alive even though it stayed in my very dark, no sunlight room for like 4 years and I watered it less than 1 time a month. A year ago I put in downstairs by the window and my mom has given it water regularly and it has finally started to bloom😭

I got my friend a Orchid from Trader Joe’s for a housing warming present, and the blooms stayed on for literal months. That was 3 years ago and it still flowers for at least 3 months at a time with only about 2 months of no blooms. We call him Frankenorchid because he’s a monster!

I'm a new orchid parent and I need all the help I can get. Thank you for this

The blooms can actually last months (up to 6 months in my apartment). I think it depends on climate and I try not to have any fruit or in the open close to the plants because that accelerates blooms fading.

THANK YOU!!!! I was freaking out I just bought my first (ever) orchid. She’s looking super dry and a little cramped, I was thinking about repotting her lol. I won’t now! I’ll just water her. Thanks for the guidance I’ll be watching your videos from now on !! 💜

My orchid being like "I WANT TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW" - proceeds to get sunburn on the flowers....

I so enjoy your shorts you get right to the point, thank you.

Couldn’t have seen this at a better time 😆🙏🏼 I just got an orchid as a gift today and I have no idea how to take care of it, so thank you!

[steph]

I don't even like plants or have plants, but I love ur videos and am taking mental notes for some reason😆😆😆🙌💖

[Ohemaa]

It’s crazzzyyy I’ve killed everything even a cactus 🌵 but by some miracle, I have had a thriving orchid for three years. My mind is

[Prince.MNBEAM]

Finally a sensible way of explaining how and what❤ Thanks ❤

...omg you made it finally make sense when you said "the orchid should see the sun, but the sun shouldn't see the orchid"

Thankyou! My mom has gone through at least 3 orchids by now, all were gifts. They are so hard to care for, and we always used ice cubes until a friend told us otherwise. I’ll definitely be sharing this video with her, someone just gave us another orchid. Wish us luck!😂

[eggasmonster]

My grandmother has been doing the icecube thing for years and has so many gorgeous orchids. She's like an orchid queen lol 😂
I just can't keep them alive 😂

Thank you! I wish I’d seen this 12 orchids ago!

100% spot on. All ice does is freezes the roots. The water never gets to the center and roots just die.
