My dog passed away in December and I planned to get a plant, because for 17 years I took care of my dog. My mom got me an orchid for my birthday today so I'm excited to learn and get more into plants :) thank you for this video

I thought she was gonna be like... “here’s how you can take care of them indoors.... you can’t”. End video 🤣

Molly - you are a natural as a presenter. Many others on YT could borrow a page from your book: a normal pace of speaking; your voice carries well; clear elocution; a varied vocabulary; good posture and excellent eye contact - not looking all over the place; only the most essential of hand movements; natural and logical progression from point to point in your presentation (no pauses and looking at notes) and last but not least - an obvious passion for the plant world. You would be a shoo-in in television.

thank you for this! It was very helpful. My mom got me an Orchid yesterday and now im spending the day researching them so I can properly take care of it.

PS: My jade plant has been growing like crazy (10inch/25cm in 2 weeks, on several branches!) since I put the phalaenopsis orchid next to it. They just love each other.

Fantastic information for a bachelor that is clueless but loves when they flower.

Very well presented. Very informative. To the point. Thank you for the information :)

Choose an orchid with most of the flowers open and a few blooms. The change in conditions when moving from the grower to the store to your home may cause "bud blast" where all the buds fall off. It's not really common for this to happen, but if it does, you will be happy that you didn't loose all the buds, and if it doesn't, you will still get a pretty good bloom time.

My Son bought me one for my birthday I am beyond grateful ❤❤❤

Thank you for this. My father bought me one of these instead of cut flowers without realizing how much care goes into it, and I've never grown one before

You are a natural for tv of teaching, one of the top ten I every saw on you tube. Nice going.

I have recently received as gift a beautiful orchid the instructions said to give it 5 ice cubes weekly. So I put 5 ice cubes on the soil so they melt slowly with out over watering. I hope that this info helps new owner. So far so good😊😊😊😊

Thank you so much for this. I received a beautiful orchid for Mother’s Day today 💕

Thank you so much for this video. I received a lovely orchid plant for Mother’s Day and the buds continue to open. I’m so excited to know how to properly place it and care for it!

Your voice is very clear and your video is informative. Just some rectification watering with soaking method is really effective, but you should not be immersing the orchid for more than 15 mins and don't do the watering very often. Soaking method works well for those who are lazy about watering.

Definitely one of the more illustrious houseplants to have around.

Thank you for this! I've had orchids for years, but not having a "green thumb" I don't buy them, people just give them to me. I keep them inside until they start to fade, then I go hang them in a tree--where they thrive! But only now, after watching you, do I know how to prune them. I have been letting everything just hang on until it is for sure way a dead branch. I'll try your advice right away. Oh, I live in the tropics (Suriname) so they are fine outside, for them it is natural. I do water them in the dry season, otherwise just let nature do that.
