Orchid Care for Beginners - How to repot Phalaenopsis Orchids

▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼

Today I will show you how to repot Phalaenopsis Orchids! This will be an easy, step by step, detailed tutorial which will help you repot your Phalaenopsis Orchid the right way!

1. Unpot the orchid from its pot and gently remove as much of the old medium, or soil, as you can. Don't reuse it, it isn't good anymore!

2. Rinse the Orchid roots at the sink with lukewarm water and further remove the old medium as much as you can, without breaking the roots.

3. Cut away any mushy roots, they are not good for the Orchid anymore.

5. Use a good fresh Orchid medium, which suits your home, or environment. I use:

My husband gave me an orchid for Valentine’s Day and I’m determined to keep it alive and well. Thank you!

About 3 months ago, I bought the recommended potting mix and plastic cups. I followed her instructions for repotting completely. My two orchid plants now have new leaves and the plants look very healthy. Thank you so much.

This was one of the best YouTube's I've seen. I have a small phalenopsis I have had for 3 years with only 1 set of blooms. It now has 6 perfect blooms and 14 buds on healthy green stems. I was about to repot it and you saved me from bad timing. Thank you for an awesome tutorial! You have created an orchid lover! Being shut in, due to the virus, made this discovery possible! Stay Safe everyone and share in the joys of orchids. "In every crisis there is opportunity" :)

Miss Orchid Girl, you saved my orchid! I knew nothing about orchids when I was given three of them as gifts. Two of them died not too long afterwards, despite my best (maladministered) efforts. Then, I searched for help and found your videos. OMIGOSH—you made orchid care incredibly straightforward and simple for me! My third orchid now has buds that are just about to open! And it looks so healthy. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

I’m repotting my distressed orchid tonight and I’ll probably have this video playing while I do. So glad I came across Miss Orchid Girl’s channel so I could actually tell my girl is in trouble.

You saved my mini phal. I was killing it by following the “instructions” on the store card. Reported it in a solo cup I cut slits into until I could get to that website once things left up after COVID just a bit. Now I have three orchids and repotme has my money lol.

[lesliegg]

I just impulse bought my first orchid and ALMOST put it in regular soil!! I’m so glad I found this video lol now I want to go buy more orchids I’m obsessed 🤩🤩

Such a very intelligent presentation, a clear well modulated voice and in-depth knowledge. These are exceptional videos.

Its been a long long time since I have seen such a beautiful orchids. My mother used to grow flowers in general. Daffodils to roses Roses Sunflowers, to Touch Me Nots. and all sorts of other flora. When it came to it, she had such a green thumb, and it also gave her something to do other than sit there and look pretty, and yes, she was pretty even at Seventy years old. Inside she had an array also, African Violets, climbing Irish Lattice, table mums, mini tea roses, flowering spagnius (a kind of moss ) Angels tears, and others. Oh yes.. one more flower called an elephants ear. It only bloomed once, and that was the year she became very ill with Rheumatoid and Osteo arthritis Yes, she had both of the crippling forms of the disease, and had been suffering with it for many years prior.The flowers were her hobby, and it kept her moving till she couldn't care for them any longer. All the inside flowers she gave away to other happy people who took them away, and then, she would cry after them. but she knew she couldn't care for them anymore. I have suddenly took a liking to Orchids. but they are ultra hard to grow. Love your channel here. Take care and God Bless you and yours. May your green thumb never turn gray !!

I love how gentle you are with the plants. I’m learning so much!

I’m so glad I found you! A coworker recently gave me my first orchid after my dad died. Well, she overwatered it and… you can figure out the rest. She gave me another one and didn’t water it at all for almost two weeks when I was sick. I came back to work and all the flowers were dried up. I’m determined to bring it back to life, the leaves are beautiful and I’d say 1/2 of the root system is healthy. I’m just waiting on my shipments from rePotme to get started. I have learned so much. Thank you for helping those of us who would otherwise ruin these lovely plants.

Missorchidgirl thank you, you have the best voice for teaching, the content is also very clear. I love listening to you :)

[peterchristensen]

The instructions on how to determine which roots should be trimmed are amazing!

[spacebug]

Thanks to your videos I'm finally able to keep happy orchids! All those times when I got orchids, they'd die because I followed the instructions on the tag. The store I work at sells phalaenopsis orchids sometimes and when the flowers drop, they're thrown out. I brought some of them home and it was such a surprise when I repotted it how it had the most horrible potting mix and most of the roots were already rotten. It took some time for them to recover, but they soon started to make new leaves and flower spikes. I now have three beautiful orchids flowering and another one that's growing its flower buds after recovering from the fungus infection it had when I got it. These flowers bring me so much joy! I look at them every day and they always make my day better.

I repotted 3 phalaenopsis today. It is my first experience with this type of orchid. I'm glad that I watched this video and several related ones. I used the "Phalaenopsis AAA Gold Imperial" from rePotme, and I love it. I also used 2 "slot pots" and 1 "carousel pot" from the same company and I like those also. I will see how the plants do. One of the plants was injected with a dye to cause the flowers to turn blue in color. Attempting to wipe the leaves clean of dust also got dried dye on my hands. I hope to save that plant. My wife asked me to take over the care of these plants, all of which are potbound and in some cases dehydrated. I feel I am on the right track. Thank you for this excellent video and also for the many other videos you have posted. I see that if I have a question, I can check your catalog of orchid videos and very likely find a video that will answer my question.

Thankx for all of your helpful videos. I have found my "One Stop Orchid Shop"!

[jadeliu]

I bought the soil and pots that she recommended and it saved my dying orchids! Amazing ❤ thank you so much. They are both growing new leaves and roots like crazy! 😊

[Lucidity__]

THANK YOU! I’ve been researching orchid care for several years and your videos are THE MOST helpful by far that I’ve found. Me and my orchid thank you 🌸💛

[italivireboreda]

This is a great video, glad I watched it before destroying my orchid thinking I could just pot it in soil 🤦🏻‍♀️
What did we do before YouTube??

[sarahwilliams]

This video has been so helpful! I’ve transformed 5 very sad orchids and three are now producing flower stalks and blooms!
