I love all your videos and have learned so much. I inherited about 8 from my daughter (she loved orchids) when she recently passed. I am eager to learn so I can take good care of her babies. I did follow your advice and repotted many with RePotme products that you recommended. It was fun actually. Thanks for all your help.

I used to watch your videos years ago, Then I moved and left all my 50 orchids😢 just starting again and its nice to see your face.

Hi! You probably won’t see this but I had to share: I bought an orchid online because it reminded me of you. It’s in its first blooming ever and it’s a beauty. It’s an Oncidium Cholita Cuencana from Ecuagenera. It’s my only red orchid and now I think I’ll have to get more. It’s all your fault! Thank you for teaching and inspiring me!

Hi Danny I just watched your video on repotting mini orchards I just repotting mine today. I love all your videos I learn so much I live in Florida my orchards are outside and I pray my mini orchards will do good thank you so much blessings 🙌

[RC-pfqi]

I live in Minnesota in the U.S. and just got a mini for my bday. I repotted it in a moss mixture from repot, cut off alot of bad roots, cut off the flower stem and it's doing fantastic. It's growing new roots and new top leaves. I have it in my north facing kitchen window. So glad I found your YT channel!

[JillSmith-cj]

I'm glad you thought me to look out for the roots when they are soft when I repotting the mini orchards I had to gut alot of the roots off I pray they do good I live in Florida and I have to keep my eyes on the orchards I have them outside blessings 🙌 thank you 😊

U have a beautiful collection of healthy pretty and happy orchids. God bless your garden.

[firebug_shevmac]

The content in your videos is invaluable! Thank you so much for sharing. I was given a sad and tired orchid, I've never had one before and because of your videos, she has a new leaf growing and despite having a couple of broken leaves😢 they hare now stronger and shiny and healthy looking. I've watched so many of your videos now and I'm loving being an orchid mom! My hubby bought me a mini too and she's doing great!

Hi Dani, I have one mini, and she is ready for a pot on. My very large Phalenopsis, has taken on the "lean" large leaves very long flower spikes, thank you for great tips. Take care

[ZenCoryCat]

Thank you so much for all the information in your videos. I'm hooked. I received 2 phals as a gift just over a year ago and this is when I found your channel. They have since bloomed, and I now I also have a happy little tolumnia, a struggling catleya, another catleya, a struggling miltoniopsis that just bloomed- I don't expect it to survive ( I moved it 1800 miles with me), a new milt, and I just ordered 2 more tolumnias, my first oncidium, and a catleya. 😬 Hooked. Anyway, thank you. I love my orchids.

[maryvellmure]

I just recently came across your videos. I’m so glad I did. For Mother’s Day my granddaughter gave me what I thought was a mini orchid but I think it is a micro mini. The leaves are very healthy and the flowers have just recently fallen off. My question is do micro minis stay small or do I need to repot and when will I know. Thanks for your time. Your videos are wonderful. 21:42

Wonderful tips for taking care of phals

[myobacctsgirl]

Thank you for your videos. I have 2 big phalaenopsis that insist on growing sideways. I'm having to weigh one side of the pot down with rocks now 😂 Have repotted twice to try and straighten, change light direction etc, she has a mind of her own lol!

[Amasonstar]

One of my phals flowered from Jan to mid-April. As soon as the flowers were spent, I cut the spike completely, wanting to give it a chance to grow vegetatively now as Danny recomme ded. But, in early May, it started putting out a brand new spike!🤣😆 It's growing the buds by now.
I left this one on... If it wants to flower this bad, then it must feel like it has enough energy. And I'd feel bad abt cutting it😅

[RedSmellsLikeOrange]

that lavender orchid at the end, my oh gosh!

[daxxydog]

I cut them down to a couple of nodes, and then peel back the vellum from the node and put some keiki paste on it. Sometimes I get a keiki (I have two that do this nearly every time). The others either produce a spike or just nothing. It’s always a crapshoot.

[techprojm]

I prefer to cut my flower spikes as well. Saving up energy for a fancier show. I recently started buying some novelty and species orchids but now I don't know what to cut and what not to because some are sequential blooming and I don't know which.

Hi Danni, I absolutely love your channel! I’ve been watching your videos for a while (since last year when I started my collection) and I’ve been taking care of my orchids all summer (I’m in Australia). It’s now winter and I’m getting my very first flower spikes! I’m so excited!

I wanted to ask- is there such thing as TOO many basal keikis? I’ve got a mini phal I bought from a nursery last year, it had a double spike. I cut the spikes off, and it was going so well it decided to sprout FIVE basal keikis. From what I can see, all the mother plant’s leaves have fallen off. They all are going very well, I just wanted to know if you had seen this before.

[sarieputh]

I Danni, please can you make a video on how you shower your orchids for dust accumulation?
Thanks for all your videos!

[JV-dxuv]

Awesome series. Exactly what I needed I got two of them. Do I need to do some things because they are not in the normal cycle? They are in full bloom right now early Autumn.
