Hello to all my viewers! Just a note about changing light intensity: if you need to change the intensity of light for your minis, do it gradually and let them adjust. A sudden drastic change in light can shock the plant. I hope your minis thrive! Amy 😇🌺😊🌻

Thank you for this wonderful video! I was so surprised and happy when my August calendar page featured a hummingbird photo with that scripture blessing that you speak at the end of your videos! It's beautiful to hear you say that. God bless you and all our orchid friends on here.

Hi Amy, just wanted to let you know that you did a great job explaining how you care for your mini Phalaenopsis. They look beautiful. May the Lord bless you and keep you in His loving 🥰 care. Peace and grace be yours abundantly. 🙏🏻❤️🌹

Thank you for sharing, the Lord is Blessing you also!!

It's great to hear you talk about this subject Amy. I learned the hard way about minis too, until I realized they needed more watering than the bigger Phals. I now have one that I've had to re-pot twice already this year, as it's growing roots like crazy. I also was pleased to hear you say, on the last video, about the African Violets; that they did not flower as much in the Summer. I had been wondering what I was doing wrong. As always, love your videos and I've leaned so much from you, thank you 🙏🌹

Blessings to you, Amy! Always a joy to hear your voice while gazing at your beautiful plants! Thanks for this information about minis. I have several, and yes! they do need more frequent waterings, especially right now. I do every few days, but I haven’t been adding nutrients - so thank you, I will now! Hugs and love to you and yours! 🧡🧡🧡

Thank you so much for another excellent video! You have just opened my eyes to the struggling I have with my miniature Phalaenopsis! I will need to change my care to more light, heat same as Cattleya! Enjoy your guidance as always🌸 May you always be blessed 🕊

Thank you so much for this video. I have struggled to get my minis to bloom. This was very helpful. 🙏🏼

Thank you Amy for solving the mystery! My Minis are moving next to the Dens !

I have no mini Phals, but several mini Catts. Do the same treatments apply to them as well? BTW - Enjoy your vids! It makes me happy to see that you have posted a new one. Thanks for the blessing. We all need it during these difficult times. May Yahweh bless you too!

Hi, I have a question. Have you ever taken care of minis under artificial lighting? If so, could you make a video or send some tips? Any help is appreciated. Many blessings for you and your family, thank you for letting the Lord use you through these wonderful videos.

Hi Amy, what a wonderful video and thank you for the blessing at the end. I have been watching Ricky L videos and am intrigued with growing in gravel. I wanted to see if you have attempted. I'm fairly new to orchids, but have 4 rescue phals now. A couple are minis. I live in upper Piedmont of sc so my climate is very similar to yours.

💚 WOW 😯 💚 Now, I know what to do. I've just placed my two (yes, the only 2 mini's I have left) with my thriving Cattleyas under my extreme bright grow light. I will monitor them daily as well. Thank you Amy for possibly saving my only two mini babies I have. They're healthy now for the time being. 🤞 Blessings 😇

Thank you for the video today very interesting to know that the minis do take a little bit more looking after and the other ones thanks for sharing I have three and they’re all on my kitchen window where they are surviving good at the moment fingers crossed

Thanka you Amy. Very informative!!My mini phals are kept in a little shady space. I'll shift them soon. God bless you!!!

Looking ahead to fall, can you tell us guidelines for WHEN we should expose our phals to the drop in day and night Temps for reblooming.. and when you adjust your fert . Thanks

I was having the opposite problem. I couldn't grow standard phalaenopsis .But my mini are repoted in small orchiata bark. 2 of my mini are growing new leaves. They are loving the heat and afternoon sun with a sheer curtain over the window. In the winter I will move it to a different place away from window.

I lost a few mini phals last winter. One is still hanging in there and I have a new one from this spring. I've been meaning to order the small Orchiada bark for them. Thank you for all of the great information! I'm glad to know that you don't let the roots become silver. When I watered mine yesterday the roots were green, but I felt they needed a drink. Is that your Sharry Baby near the window? It's looking really good. 🙋‍♀️😊

🤗🤗Hi Amy, Thank you Ladies for this question and the answers. I am struggling with my minis for all the reasons you state, now I know what to do to make things better for them. I have an Equestris cross that is in a bright location, potted in a bigger pot which flowers profusely so why didn’t I connect dots myself?😀. Sending you lots of 💕and 😇🌸 too.

After flowering do I cut the stems down to root or do I Just wait till the stems die on their own? Thank you for our special blessing ♥ Judy

I see your note on light on minis. I watch the light on my 9 minis. Thank you. Question, one of my minis the underside of the leaves are sticky. I clean the leaves with your recipe. It seems they have a purplish color. After cleaning the leaves do ok then the stickiness is back. I just notice a flower is coming. Yay. Now I have 3 so far out of 9. What about rubbering alcohol. All other minis leaves are good. Hope you can help. ♥ Judy

Hi Amy how can you tell minis from standards is it flower size?

Hi Amy, I am using your fertilizer recipe with great results. I have lots of new roots and leaves, but no flower spikes. I do have 2 white Phal's with basal keiki's. Is this a good thing?

My minis are not doing as good as my reg Phals. They are in smaller orchiada bark as reg ones, but the regular ones are in Besgrow orchiada,and minis in Dalton brand orchiada bark. I have one of the larger mini with some NZ moss and orchiada. But they are not growing new leaves and no vigorous roots. The regular are. My espresso did not grow roots . It only has one for over a year. I have given up on this one😏 any succgestions

I just counted my minis tonight. In less then 1 year I’ve managed to get myself 32 yikes. I’m slowly starting to repot in Orchiata 9/12 picking smaller pieces for them. They are vigorous once the roots start growing that’s for sure. I’ve been waiting for them to start growing new roots since they are all either in moss or peat plugs from the store. Question? I use your old recipe for fertilizer along with calmag and seaweed extract. I usually water 3 weeks with all and 1 with nothing. I’m assuming it’s safe to use on my newly repotted minis every time I water even if that is like you said 4 days or so. Thank you Amy,I so enjoy your videos.
