"Shimmy that sho- ORCHID BARK"😂

I just got my mother's day orchid. First time since I started actually keeping plants alive 😂 wish me luck y'all

I feel like your video will help me have better success with orchids. I have always discarded them after blooming because I could never get them to rebloom. BTW I totally had your voice in my head telling me to "drown that hoe" when I was outside watering my containers. Thank you for such great and informative videos.

My orchid is currently experiencing its second bloom. I'm so happy that I managed to get it to bloom for a second time :)

I needed this at this very moment! Thank you so much! There is so much disinformation on Orchids out there! I trust you so much! 🌱🧡✌️

I love that you are equally hilarious, intelligent and beautiful ❤️

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I have over 200 orchids, and you got everything right! There are 2 things that drive me crazy about phalaenopsis dealers. Ice cubes and dye. Ice cubes will eventually burn the roots, and those fake colors always come back white IF the poor orchid survives to grow another spike, but they don't tell you that.

Thanks to your videos I managed to help my mother care for her orchids for once, before that they would always rot and die after about a month but now she's had the same orchid plants for over a year and she's leafy and green and healthy! Currently working on getting some new spikes and hopefully blooms as well 🤞🤞 so thank you so much!!

You have nooo idea how much I have needed this, thank you so much xD

girl i love you so much! you gave me the confidence i needed to finally start buying/caring for houseplants and i love it! i used to think they were scary and i’d kill everything but i’ve learned SO much from you. i’ve even “rescued” a few plants now including some orchids! i catch myself saying shimmy that soil as i repot 😹 love your content you beautiful soul 🩷

Woah you look stunning in orange

I’m so glad I found your channel❤

My mom has 2 orchids that belonged to her mother. They are in a perfect spot and keep blooming year after year

I've been avoiding orchids cause I thought they were so high maintenance. This video makes me want to give them a try 🤔

I needed this video bc I think I purchased the exact same yellow ones 🤣 I have mine in water at the moment bc I saw someone else growing theirs like that at the dentist office my daughters go to. It's starting to grow another new leaf on it and new healthy roots that way. Eventually I will switch to orchid bark, just not sure when to do that though. This is the first orchid I've ever cared for, I'm just rolling with it though. Your video was very informative, they always are though. You are so pretty in them too! 😍

Thanks, I just received one for mothers day from my co workers😊

I've always wanted an orchid but I've been too scared lol wish me luck 😅

Love this!!

I love your little cacti tatoo, thank you for the info!

I just threw away an orchid that never rebloomed. I did so many things wrong 🤦🏾‍♀️. I think I will try again. Thanks for the video!

I totally love your videos I have learned so much about all kinds of plants especially my orchids 😊👍thank you 🥰now I’m a plant mom as well 😊

Definitely a video my mother and I needed ❤❤. Mine are in Leca too 😊

This is so helpful! I just bought 2 more because...I couldn't help myself! ❤️❤️

Thank you! All these advices are really helpfull ❤

Ty queen!!!!

Ha ha!!! Found u from fb. Yassss love u dude

dude this helps me out so much...they just came into our greenhouse and i feel bad how little i understand them

Ok...doesnt sound too complicated like some people make it. ❤😂

Sincere question: orchids in the wild often grow on trees; is getting water in the crown really so bad for the plant? I’m honestly considering putting all of mine in my avocado and guava trees. They seem to do much better without my clumsy care.

Every time I watch your videos I just wanna give you the biggest, juiciest, warmest huuuuug 🤗. I refuse to get any more orchids. I've killed about 6/7. My neglect is too strong 😭😭

Right. On. Time. Video ❤

I always found it odd that we avoid watering the crown because naturally wouldn't it collect rainwater? But makes sense that moisture collection would cause rit

We need more videos 😢

Great video- love the tank top-link ? 😃

Also, do you have any pink tradescantia nanouk plants? Do you recommend them maintenance wise? I think they're so pretty 🩷💜💚

Pls tell how to takecare of the monstera swiss cheese plant pls tell me mines not growing love ur content

does orchid bark have to come from a specific type of tree? or does any old bark do the job?

Nice video very informative. I do have a question What can you use if there’s a pest infestation? Any recommendations for orchids? Thanks

Hey quick question, someone gifted me and orchid . The pot the orchid came in has no drainage ,should I repot it in a a drainage pot ? Thank you first time having an orchid

What window do you recommend? Is a North window bright enough?

HELP!! I keep killing my orchids!! I hope you read this Krystal cuz you are one of the very few plant gurus I enjoy watching (and trust implicitly). I LOVE your videos and your vibe in general. So, I think I might be overthinking it (I used to use stupid effing ice cubes but don’t do that anymore). I have 3 orchids with virtually no roots…I’ve tried perlite, leca, water (treated), orchid mix (which I found to contain too much soil) but afraid to try only orchid bark without any roots. Again, HELP!! Thanks so much. 🪴❤ Oh yeah, and I only have N & S facing windows (I’ve been using grow lights) and live on the east coast of Canada. The temperature is around 65-70°F most days (some days 75°ish) and 55-65° overnight this time of year. Peak temp will hit 90s with some days over 100°. Humidity ranges from maybe 60% on “good” days to 90-95% when it feels like the devil is breathing down your neck. 🥵

I have a question I want to get a orchid for my room that can handle a lot of sun light but can also survive more colder winters as I live in the uk any suggestions

How much do i need to fertilize the orchid and how often?

GIRL...........its been 2.5 years and i almost lost mine twice! Its only got like 2 good leaves and 3 tiny new ones......its NEVER bloomed for me obviously lol but im dying to figure this girl out n get her happy so she finally blooms!! Ugh but she hates me so much lol

I have a question. What fertilizer do you use when you grow plants in just water? I notice you in the one short where you changed the water and freshened it up you didn’t have to worry about ph or anything and it didn’t change the color of the water.

Hey umm I had an orchid that was my grandmothers and after having it do a couple of years it gave up on me after it bloomed again is it normal

I would repot this particular phal as the roots are slowly rotting ( the silvery roots were not that silver....). You can repot phal thats in flower. It wont make a difference

What do you do when you see what looks like mold on your orchid?

Krystal, what is happening to my snake plant ? She has stopped growing long and now I have all short and stubby growth 😢

Ive had to completely chop the spikes of several orchids before and they just never grew back, eventually i lose interest caring for a pot with 3 leaves in it and they die 😭 does anyone have any grow light recommendations? None of my plants seem happy with the light they’re getting from my south facing window but I’m worried ill just end up ordering a regular LED that doesnt actually have any UV for the plants

On average, if we trim everything as you instructed, how long does growing another spike and the next flowering take?

I'm moving soon and planning to take my house plants with me, my orchid is still blooming, should I cut the spikes to help transport the plant or leave them? The alternative is leave the plant with my mom who has no green thumb

What about if in leca?

I put my orchid in 2 coco skin and inside i put some moss is it gonna be okay or what i did is a mistake?

For some reason all my orchid stems dry out even after cutting them😓

Can you leave your orchid water?

$3?! Where did you score that find Krystal?!

orchids like to be left alone all this moving around taking out the pot is suboptimal, use a spraybottle and mist the roots from the top everyother day. will love it

Oops! I held up 3 fingers instead of 2! Hehe silly little me 🤭🙄

Also i havevan orchid ive kept alive 8 years, but its never bloomed again 😂😂😂😂 😬

My orchid won't bloom and it's been over 3 years 😢 She looks fine and happy in her home under a fruit tree but she just won't flower. 😂

That one orchid from the start either has a virus or a bacterial infection. Those leaf spots take the plant down. Sad experiences.

It's like you were watching when I secretly threw away the two dead orchids I gave crown rot to last week 🥲
