I’m a simple guy, I see a new MissOrchidGirl video, I hit click

[baltschoolofdance]

Hi Danny! Thanks for the great info! I love these myth buster episodes. I also love your sweater! It looks so soft and warm and cozy as well as quite flattering. Hope you had a great day.

5:35 this is probably true. I've had new flowers wither away as soon as the pollinia was removed (phalaenopsis orchid as well so it's not supposed to wither thar fast)

I just bought a Phalenopsis White in a dish garden with a Chocolate Aglonemia sorry for my spelling lol . They put moss over everything but underneath they are in separate containers. It’s very pretty !
After it’s done blooming I’ll check the orchid I can almost guarantee it’s packed tight with spag moss as usual .

Myth or truth:
If orchid leaves accumulate too much dust ...they can't photosynthesize? And it will affect its growth

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth:
Older bottom leaves of vanda orchids must be removed to facilitate new roots to emerge out ?

[akshayandarmara]

oh thank you for thsi amazing useful video. it's really needed this time, thanks again.

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth : High light (eg:vandas) orchids cannot be kept indoors "when they are in bloom" (in order to display them), as the flowers will wilt sooner ?

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth:
Bare rooted/ almost rootless orchids can be hung upside down to trigger more root formation?

[wandashaw]

Hi Danny, those were some great questions!! Maybe on your next video you can tell us if using Epsom salts really benefits orchid growth? Thanks.

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth:
If the thick outer velamen of the root breaks partially or cracks such that it still holds together...it can still survive and need not be cut/ removed?

[kathymahaney]

Just bought some ODLA, guessing it's a potting medium I'm not familiar with, ok to use, not crazy about potting/repotting

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth:
We have to manually open the petals in the buds of some orchid hybrids as the petals are often stuck to each other

[carolynstucky]

Which roots should I cut off? Soggy ones, black ones, only dried ones? This sad orchid has all of these.

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth: Leafless pseudobulbs (especially backbulbs) of sympodials can still devlop into newer plants after dividing them ? (given their roots are intact)

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth :
Always Deeper tall pots must be used for catasetum and cymbidium orchids as they have longer roots ?

[rakshith.s.aradhya]

Myth or truth:
Vanda orchids can be divided into seperate cuttings if the upper half produces sufficient aerial roots ?

[Claudio_Widianto]

Hey Danny, is it myth or truth? It is okay to only use slow release fertilizer on orchids?

[marysambrosio]
