Wow, Danny, she has grown so fast in just 10 (maybe) moths and she's so happy! You truly are a magician when it comes to cattleya type orchids! Next year you even might have blooms! 🌺

[dianesalisbury]

I've been following you for about a year. Your videos encouraged me to expand my collection from a couple of Phalinopsis to catlia, dendrovium, coconut and ocidiums. I love them all! Everything is doing great... it's my new obsession for sure, and I love it! Thank you so much I love my Otchids and knowing that I'm growing them the right way thanks to you ❤

[AngelaGStark]

Really appreciate your videos. Thank You

[RC-nodr]

Just want to thank you for all the helpful videos. All my orchids are doing so much better since finding you!

[marjieestivill]

Thank you! This is exactly the info I needed to repot a very similar Rhyncattleya later today.

[angelofmyheart]

Danny, I am always impressed by your endless knowledge of orchid care. You need to think about going on the road and do seminars in every city, in every country in the world. The money you could make....oh, boy! ...lol. Love your videos. Love your channel. Keep it coming. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Perfect video for me today! I had decided to repot my three new 2” pot Better-Gro Cattleyas in bark or clay LECA. Now I will reconsider Sphagnum moss or even plant each one in a different medium since I have three medium choices. Alas, decisions, decisions! Thanks for all the great videos. I watch you every day, sometimes just about all day!

Thank you so much for another video filled with great information.

Hoping to see its blooms soon. The two new growths look promissing.

5:15 Most mini-Cattleyas hybrids grow roots and new pseudo-bulbs constantly as long as the minimal conditions are there anyway.

Might stop in the warm season without air conditioning, or during Winter at northern latitudes without extra artificial light.

Otherwise they grow and bloom without a ''season'' and can give flowers 3, 4, 5+ times during the year. Mini-Catts are wonderful and the more recent hybrids are usually very vigorous. A mature one on the more ''wild grower'' side might need to be cut in 3 pieces every year to keep it manageable.

P.S. : I don't have a ventilator in my grow room and my mini-Catt roots love a few extra holes in the lower-half of the pot side to have some fresh air circulating in their humid mix. Improved root health alot in my environment. Sadly they sulk a bit most of the Summer when temeratures rise above 27C.

Hi Danny, love the video today! You inspire me to repot my small cattleya collection. I’ve got two big ones I’m scared to divide. They just keep going. Can’t wait for your next video.

Hello. I have learned so much from your videos that now I have a small collection and I am getting orchids as gifts. Recently I was given a beautiful orchid for my birthday from a florist shop. I think it is an Aphrodite’s phalaenopsis. It was placed in the green foam!!! Not all it’s buds are opened yet. I suppose I need to replant it to remove it from the foam. Do I water this? Do I need to wait til all the flowers have fallen? How should I deal with this plant. Thank you. Appreciate your help and comments.

Hi Dany, thanks for all the videos and info you share with us it's really helpful.i allways wanted to grow orchid's i looove them but was afraid they seemed to delicate, with your chanel i got confidence and bought 5 orchid's. For the moment im having lots of black mold in the room due to the humidity where i have the most light and keep the orchids, and im starting to see that the bark inside the pot has stardet to form white stuf like mold ar mushrooms, is this a problem for the orchids? Can i keep them in this room regadles of the black mold on the walls?the rest of the house has allmost no light at all, is the only room with enough light. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this.have a nice week.

[marygorchidsmore]

Hi Danny, lovely repotting video, thanks for sharing. Do you have a bulbophylum care video? I got a bulbo recently and trying not to kill it. Do you recommend moss for it to grow?

[blancadiaz]

Forgot to ask. When repotting do we leave arial roots out of the pot or do we plant them inside? How do we water orchids that have arial roots?

[debraseals]

Hello Denny, Thank you soooo much for your detailed information. Please tell me if I can use the fertilizer 13-3-15 for my Mini cattleya orchid ? If not what do you recommend?

[scottthomas]

Where do you get the green wire cages I have seen on your Cattleya orchids? I have searched online and can't seem to find them?

[ms.understood]

Hello, how are you? I have a question, my lovely orchid (she's a Phalaenopsis) has given me a grandchild 😃 I'm a little nervous because she's a lot larger then I've seen in your videos. She already has four beautiful leaves but I can't find any roots so I can't put her in her own pot. Mom seems to be holding on but I have noticed I'm watering her more often than I ever have before. I was thinking maybe I should also be fertilizing as well. I was wondering what you think because I don't usually fertilize my other plants during the winter and this is my first orchid (that I've been able to keep alive, with your help of course. I hope you see this. TIA

Which slow release do you use? I recently heard there are two types - one which releases based on temperature and the other based on time… which brand do you use?

[Running_Putter]

Mixture of bark and clay pebbles okay to use? If too much roots can I cut it?

[lyonnw]

Hi, Danny! I hope you have a good day!

I have just acquired 2 catasetum orchids, and it’s their growing season right now here in Malaysia. I just want to know if I should hold off watering and wait til the roots start to grow longer or I can give some water just enough to make the medium somewhat moist? Because as you’ve said in this video, roots tend to just stop growing when the environment is dry. That’s why I am confused if I should hold off watering and let the medium to be bone dry or it’s better for me to provide a little bit of moisture them just to encourage root growth for the catasetums.

Cheers from 🇲🇾🙆🏻‍♂️
