Love your channel and your clear and concise teachings on how to revitalize moribund orchids. Thank you for helping those of us who have orchids in a state of decline showing how in a few simple steps these beautiful and exotic plants can be brought back to life. Once again, thank you for your great videos !

My orchid was a rescue I found at the dumpster in bad shape so I brought it home and nursed it I’ve had it for a few years and blooms twice a year!!

Thank you Randy for this video, I clean houses for a living & see so many orchids dying, all as you said in a fancy pot, with no air or holes in the bottom for drainage causing water log. One of my customers asked me to put an dying orchid in the bin & i asked whether i could take it home to try & revive it. Some of the roots are still healthy but it has no leaves, i have been watering it, has drainage, cleared all the dead from top & put in a sunny position. After watching this video i will take out of pot & clear any dead roots inside & do everything you have shown here, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge

I feel love for you for saving my orchids. Best class on orchids!!! It is too heartbreaking and traumatic to let them starve to death in a trash can. Now I don’t have to. Thank you!!

Always breaks my heart when I see people throw plants in the trash ( some people even throw orchids out, after they bloom, as of they’re a cut bouquet! ) Thanks for helping the public learn about these awesome plants!

[heatherschinwald]

Great work! I always thought the white strings were dead roots. Appreciate your technique.

Thanks for this video, Randy. I knew what orchids were, but still didn't know how to take care of them properly. And it seems like the folks working at nursery's don't know much about them either. Most of my orchids look great for a long while but the blooming is rare and sporadic. I've told my hubby I'm not good at taking care of orchids but I think HE is the one who loves them...hahaha! Thanks again, ...I'll be redoing my 6 pots of orchids immediately.

My poor neglected orchid sprouted a new leaf (to my surprise) and it's encouraged me to try and save it. The leaves haven't yellowed, but are very droopy, and the steams are quite dead, but this video has encouraged me and given me enough knowledge to try and save it! I've always loved orchids and felt really bad about the neglect, but it's still fighting so I'm gonna do what's best for it and look after it

Thank you so much for this informative and loving plant video. I'm trying to bring my sister's orchid back bc she was in hospital and it did not get tended to. She passed...trying to hang onto this plant that she cherished. God bless you.

Until four years ago I had a collection of 34 different types of orchids. The fall of 2017 I had the first arthroscopic shoulder surgery and I had a brace on for months where I wasn’t to move my arm. I relied on others to take care of my solarium full of plants. My orchids were first to die...The following fall, I had the other shoulder done. By the time I was able to somewhat move more freely, I was down to 6 orchids and now 4. I had done what you showed to save them, including using glue and cinnamon powder, after a wiping of weak alcohol, to seal any shaving of mold. So very disappointing to lose so many. Thank you for the tip on recycling the moss. That one I never tried...makes absolute sense.

Thank you Randy, as a serial orchid murderer your step-by-step video was very helpful! I am hopeful of resuscitating future orchids more successfully after watching your video. I am now alerted to the danger of the lure of the decorative pot!

[estherroberts]

I have a Orchid that I am going to try to save thanks for sharing. Thank you so much.

[wendybedford]

At last, someone who uses a sensible technique instead of black tea, onion or cinnamon!!! Thank you so much, I'll do exactly as you demonstrated.

[itsjiraheta]

Thank you so much. No wonder mine never bloom. They have not bloomed like in a year. I use potting soil. Thank you so much for sharing all this info. I will try to come back and post an update after I try this. Once again, thank you for sharing your craft.

I am trying to save 3 dying plants my wife found discarded by her church……….This will be my first time with orchids

[allycatadventures]

So interesting! You seem like such a sweet person. You are like the "Orchid Whisperer". Thanks for sharing.

[patriciajohnston]

Great video. I'm off to rescue my phalaenopsis!

[hayleymcgee]

This video is such a lifesaver! My $10 rescue orchid looks so much happier after repotting this way

[barbbowen]

Ty Randy!...I have been looking for a way to care for my friends Orchid!...I don't really care for Orchids as I find they are too "fussy", but this little one needed some TLC!...I was watering this one from the top but will not do that anymore!...This little one is in a mixture of dirt & organic soil with good drainage...xx
