Your phalaenopsis orchid may go into shock after the transition. Here’s more info: I recommend using a healthy orchid vs a rescue orchid because that transition may cause it to go into shock. It is used to growing in organic material and so that root loss will then cause new roots to grow. Those new roots will then become adapted to this water culture method. Since they are epiphytes (plants that absorb moisture from the humid air, rain, versus from other plants) they will do fine with the wet to dry method. That means allowing the water in the vessel to dry out and then refilling after a few days. Orchid fertilizer can be incorporated during the time in the water that your orchid has no blooms. If you asked me which method is easier: growing in water or the more conventional way like in orchid bark, I’d say orchid bark. Only because of that transition period and I find that I forgot to refill my vessel 🫣 Have you grown orchids in water? What’s the experience been like?

Love the new face framing. You look so pretty!

Wow Krystal, your eyes look fabulous.

You look so ridiculously gorgeous in this video!!! You always are but you are stunning

Girrrl slay 😘 You look so pretty 🫶🏾❤️

There are many ways to grow orchids. But I think the easiest one is bark. The kind of soil they come to us in at the stores and the pots they are sold in are good for growing them. I have been growing orchids for about 7 years, there have been many losses and in that time I have gained a lot of experience, so now all my orchids are healthy, growing and blooming. I can give some care tips if anyone needs them: 1. If you bought the plant in the bark and it has no problems with the roots, it is better not to transplant it immediately. The orchid can grow in a shipping pot for a year or more until it becomes too crowded and the roots braid the entire pot. 2. To know when to water your orchid, look at the roots. If they are silvery, you should water them. If they are green, you should wait. I usually put the pot in a container, pour water on 2-3 cm and leave it so for an hour, and then drain the water. 3 It is not recommended to wash and spray the plant. If water gets between the leaves, the trunk of the plant may begin to rot. 4. For the orchid to bloom, it should be given a lot of diffused light and night temperature difference. And I would also like to write that it is plants for us, not us for the plants. So if you have something that doesn't work out or your plants get sick, don't despair. Just find the ones that will grow well for you. For example, my orchids and aroids grow, but my cacti and succulents die. So I just grow what wants to grow at my place. Good luck everyone🌸

I finally got an orchid to rebloom after years and years! And it's been blooming since March 6th! That's almost two months!

Krystal! This color your wearing looks really nice on you 😊 Also gonna have to show my mom this video. She loves plants!

Looking hella cute Krystal! 💕

When I got my first orchid I thought it died but it just hadn’t flowered 😂

Need update on that cactus you were growing in water. What happened to it ? Did it make it?

Thank you for all of your videos! Plants definitely help me with my mental health but as much as I love them they haven’t done well in my home in the past. Watching your videos has helped me immensely! My plants aren’t dying anymore, they’re growing! I’ve even gotten rescue plants! It’s amazing having a home full of happy and healthy plants ❤

You are glowing✨🥰

I bought a clearance one from Wal-Mart. I put it in leca. So far so good

Putting my orchids in water is the only way I've gotten them to bloom. They have done really well in the water surprisingly.

You are sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!!! 😍😍😍

I’ve had an orchid for 5 years that I just recently put in water. In the last 2 months, it’s grown a new leaf, new flour spear, and new roots. It is meant to be in water. She is doing so well! She was fading after being repotted in bark. Now, she’s thriving.

You can go vase culture with thick rooted orchids. Take the glas, no water on the bottom, put the cleaned plant in. Once or twice a week, you fill the glas with fertilized water and drain it after about 10-30 minutes.

You look so pretty girlie! Thank you for all the plant tips ❤ 🪴 🌿

I love your makeup, you look amazing 🤩

You're so pretty!! I love those hoops on you!

I bought my orchid from Walmart and it started to decline pretty quickly due to root rot, I read that putting them in diluted black tea signals the rainy season in the jungles they are found in, the tea has tannins in it replicating the tannins in the bark they grow on. This tells the orchid it's raining and it's time to grow! It's been about a year and mine has since regrown it's roots plus 4 new leaves! It's a slow process but it works 💪 trust me it takes a while but a lil aquarium water in a cup and a few dunks of a tea bag till the water turns light brown, trim off all the dead roots and balance it SO JUST THE ROOT END IS IN THE TEA WATER, with time heat and love you'll start to see new growth from both ends usually it starts with new roots then it moves on to replacing it's leaves! Give this a try and let me know your results!

You are getting younger!!! Wow, you go girl.

I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Thanks Krystal! I always love your content! Btw, Dang Lady! You look So Amazing!

She is so fiiineee

You're glowing in this video! But also lately

Krystal you look so beautiful in this video 🤩 your eyes are so bright and that color top really compliments that pre-summer glow you have started!

I put my orchid in water and was so stressed when the roots all rotted but I have new one coming in and even new leaves! I didn’t give up hope and it paid off!

You are so pretty and i love that you have so many plants

You look so pretty! 😊

You look so pretty. The hoops look great on you!

Oh I can't wait for the rehabilitation video. My orchids are struggling

I'll have to agree with the comments you're GLOWING girl, you're always gourgeous but here you really radiate joy💕💕

Would love to see that future video soon I have an orchid in a condition similar to that and would love know what to do!

I just got my very first orchid from a student for teacher appreciation week. It’s pretty and unique, but I have no experience with how to take care of it!

I've seen people grow them out of their fish tanks and I would love to try this one day.

Nice your voice ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 give knowledge 👍😊😊😊

You look beautiful! 💖💖💖 I need this video, my orchid has been struggling lately, thx!

I feel it's repetitive but you are GLOWINGGGGG !!! You always look so pretty, but GIRL. 😅❤

I love using Leca with them. Mostly because I’m lazy. 😭😂

Imma need that other video because I think mine is not so healthily 😅

i thinkk denim blue is your colorr🥹🥹 you look soo prettyyyyy🤧

I’m trying with my fish tank filter in my classroom. Fingers crossed 🤞

I have one that's been living I a pretty wine glass for years blooms in July when it's 31deg with humidex, and inside on kitchen table when it's winter and -30 with windchill I'm in Nova Scotia Canada but ya, she lives in that cup, happily for years was a rescue I only leave an inch of water in the cup as well

I have a tiny orchid that's been with me for a year 😊❤ she rebloomed! It took her a year but she's adorable 🥰 btw, you look more beautiful today 🥰🥰 I'm happy for you😊

Hi Krystal, Google says you can use kitty litter instead of perlite. Is that true? Could you show yourself growing a plant in kitty litter to see how things turn out? If not that's alright 😁

They like it muggy, hot, shady and humid. so if you got a windowed bathroom keep it there ❤

Not once have I succeeded with them. Might have to try the water

I’ve killed so many orchids, now I can give it a next go, thank you :)

hi Krystal, do you know if i can do this when the orchid is flowering? thanks!

I've got 3 and since the blooms died off over a year ago, all I have to show for it is either a few extra leaves or wilted roots! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I've kept them alive (ish) I guess?!

Can you show how to care for a snake plant, mine grew root rot but I never knew , how to grow it from cutting it.

You can even make an orchid chandelier!

It’s if they are sick and dying very little roots or no roots at all being removed dead roots It isn’t a water plant.

Krystal looking amazing as freaking always..... But listen my grocery store rescue from idk how long bas been thriving in water for years... I will never put my orchids back in soil eva! *TO WHOMEVER IS THINKING ABOUT GROWING THEM IN WATER LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN. THE MOST IMPORTANT IMPORTANT THING WHILE DOING THIS IS NEVER NEVER NEVER GET THE LEAVES WET OR LET IT POOL IN THE CREVICES... IT WILL ROT AND YOU'LL BE SAD**

You should do (more) ASMR 😊

Hey Krystal! I have a quick question…I know that if all the leaves are drooping, it might have a hydration issue, but my orchid only has one leaf drooping. It’s a large one but on the bottom of 2 other large ones. Everything else looks fine. Should I be worried about it and if so, what should I do? It’s my first ever personal orchid and it has a mix of beautiful blue colors so I’m tryna keep it forever if I can lol

Please do a video about calla Lillie’s(?)😭

Can you grow spider plants in water? And will they still get big and healthy that way?

Personaly i don't recomand using this méthode on orchids because their growth principe is to alternate between dry and moist roots, almost all species really need this alternance. Many of the orchidees91 member have tryed to grow them in hydropony and we had very pour result

how do you prevent rot when growing in water? I can’t seem to successfully grow orchids in water

I love all your videos. You're an inspiration. However, as an owner of over 200 asst orchids, I definitely don't advocate for growing in water. It's like the old ice cube marketing. Sure, it'll work for a while. Sometimes, a long while. But, eventually, it will kill them. They just weren't designed for these unusual practices. However, I freely admit that I have learned SO much about my other houseplants from you. You're awesome! 💕🌺

Do I need repot a new orchid once it's finished blooming?

I bought a blue orchid 3 years back. It grows healthy dark leaves but refuses to bloom. I even stuck those liquid orchid food pouches you stick into the soil but nothing happened. What should i do?

What do you think about growing in clay or lava stone pebbles? I have killed like x5 orchids that I have bad luck with root rot every time.

My orchid died, I have 2 leaves of the plant left. Should I put in water ? It's in dirt right now.

Question. My orchid has like 25 (maybe not actually 25 but there is sooo much) air roots?. What can I do with all them crazy things?. 😅

Do you leave the flower stems as is? I always cut them. Am I doing it wrong?😮

mine doesnt bloom since 2 years any tips ? xd she has light get her water when the moss is dry and is standing in a west facing window ^^

How many orchids do you have?

Of course you can grow orchids in water. However this isnt a permanent way of growing. There are a lot of youtubers who were advocates of FWC ( full water culture) for years. They are all now transitioned their orchids back either to moss or bark. And thats because orchid will eventually start to decline and die

I want to grow an orchid in a tree now

I can't grow an orchid. I tried so many times but every time it dies.... And yet it's my favorite plant ever so I'm sooo sad

I grow mine in Lava Rock

Tap water???

You sure can. That's what I do.

I know right it’s so frustrating

Shouldn’t grow in water only if you wanna grow roots on a dying orchid.

Please no. Please don't advice on growing Phal in water , that is NOT their place. :(
