How to properly care for recovering Orchids - Signs that say you're doing good!

Today we tackle a subject that was suggested by one of my viewers recently, how to know we are doing well with recovering orchids!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼

The new roots need to be protected and encouraged to grow, by offering proper moisture, care with handling and prevention of pests!

Fertilization needs to be stopped white the new roots are forming and cannot absorb water. When they are formed and absorbing water, feeding should be done lightly and increased as the orchid grows and establishes.

With a bit of care any sick orchid, or rootless orchid, has a proper chance at being saved!

I would never be able to continue in my orchid growing journey without your amazing knowledge of all things orchid. I am so very grateful for your videos. When I have a problem now, I don't even bother googling it. I go straight to Miss Orchid Girl bc I know I'll find what I need including the motivation to keep trying! A million thanks to you, Dani. ❤️❤️❤️

Dani I've been nursing my orchid for 2 months now with no roots the leaves are wrinkly but I have a new leaf coming thank you for your help I think she'll be ok....will continue to follow you💖

I lost several buds (not all) after I moved a cymbidium orchid to the kitchen counter, which was about 3 feet away from large fruit bowl. Thanks for the informative videos. They have been so helpful!

You’re instincts are dead on, Dani, I have a mini phal. that I’ve been nursing for months now and she shows some signs of recovery (starts a new leaf, a new root) but then she seems to stall for a month... then growth begins slowly again. Your hints and tips keep me trying! She not dead yet and though slow, growth is happening.

I have been struggling with a Vanda for almost a year. The leaves are almost closed it's got one good root, it's got one new leaf that is barely growing. I have babied it, I have changed it from bare root to a little bit of moss to bark and now it's back to lightly covered with moss and in a Vanda basket and is loosing 3 leaves, luckily from the bottom. It's going to just sit in this until it either starts to thrive or dies not doing anything else and I also have another orchid that has absolutely no roots sitting in spagh, that one looks even worse. Again not doing anything else for it. I'm done. Feeling a little defeated at this time. Life goes on as an orchid grower, I Love your video!

Speaking about crown rot...
I just lost 2 of my phaleanopsis...
😭
It is sad... but just like danny said, we learn as we experience things. 😊

Thank you Danny, I was very tensed about my dendrobiums seedling, as they were loosing leaves. Point taken, patience and less fertilization. I think I will bring back the plants inside and would like to use with sphagnum moss, fluffy and less water. My weather is too dry to use leca I think, leca would work better in either semi hydro or self-watering, but it is too cold to leave water at night. Thank you.

This video was great! Very educational 😊

When I cut pretty flower spikes, I place them in a vase to enjoy.

I have recently started taking care of some orchids and I have noticed how delicate and fragile new root tips are. Are they safe growing in an all bark setup?

[francisduarte]

3:47 I have an orchcid with brown leaves like the one in the back. It didn’t used to be like that, I think it changed right after I changed its soil.

HI Dani Happy New Year!! Excellent video!! I have recently been combing through your videos and particularly your ICU videos because I am dealing with a dehydrated Cattleya orchid I purchased back in October. This is a type of orchid that is sold in a home improvement store and that is in a little bag. When I purchased her I can tell she was a little dehydrated however, she has not produced any new roots and her leaves continue to shrivel up and seem to be trying to squeeze out all of her nutrients fro the leaves. The roots are beige but not plump and vigorous they seem to be dried.
The leaves are so dehydrated and it is forming bubbles on the leaves. I have taken the orchid out recently and sprayed with peroxide and I am trying to give it more water and keep it hydrated. I am really not exactly sure if she has any other issues like insects or some kind of a virus. However, I am trying to do a process of elimination to target the problems she is having.
I love all of your videos and advise. I am happy to be learning so much from your channel and thank you so very much!! ;-)

Hey Danni. Could you make a new vid concerning the zygopedilum? Also the same for the psychopsis. Do you have it in leca? And what kind of light she needs? What temps and humidity. The zygopetilum is my birthday gift to myself. Also I recently got the psychopsis (about 2wks ago). I've always wanted these orchids and I don't want to lose them. Another reason is they were expensive for me to get them. Between the 2 of them I spent $90.

[scatalina]

Thank you! This is a great video to watch when you need that little added kick of encouragement! Dani, do you use Patreon, or any other patron service that your viewers can subscribe to, to support your orchid investments/adventures?

[diagnostics]

I have a phal spiking potted in bark but the media is pretty decomposed. I'd like to change it to SH like my other phals. I don't know if I should do something now or wait until it stops blooming. The plant looks good and healthy but the media smells really bad and the roots within the pot could look so much better. Any thoughts?

[KAMJKJ]

Hi Danny good evening all 1st😁😊😎😀 1st view 1st like😁😁

[gisellaprieto]

Dear Miss Orchid Girl, my Dendrobium Phalaenopsis has a beige~light yellowish spots in the leaves (both sides). How do I correct that?

[rukiyaferguson]

New leave and new root are growing but the original leaave are dehydrated like it is in stress, why is it doing this?

[DanaF]

Hi! I need HELP! I have 3 phal orchids, and one is growing roots (it was really sick, almost no roots last eyar) and I think I now have fungus gnats!

I don't want to kill the orchid by treating it with a insecticide, should I just repot them? They are all orchids that had problems last year and are now recovering and 2 of them even have keikis growing that I don't want to damage.

Please help, What should I do?

[akashagnivamshi]

Name the orchid specie that has bulbs in this video?
