Good luck. We love our frenchie.

Good to hear! Where did you buy that pot ?

@@jujubee7351 just over at Lowe's!

So do your other tropical plants use orchid soil-bark and moss instead of soil to grow? My tropical plants are in Potting soil and they are lacking something.

I’ve seen people make holes with a soldering iron! Give it a try

Happy I could help!

@@PlantswithKrystal by the way, when do we need to use hydrogen peroxide for the roots?

Mine Orchid flowers started drooping...then I noticed, blooming stem got bent. I wrapped that bent with Aloe vera & taped it. Do you think the Orchid plant will rejuvenate?

Did you know human saliva ( just like our out breath is for them what they breath out ( oxygen) for us.) is the bèst anti virus anti fungal antibacteria etc protection youcan give the cut roots and branches?

Hydrogen peroxide will rust even stainless steel. Isoproyl alcohol is safer to use on tools.

Thanks for the helpful tip

Yep, I repurposed a plastic container and will be putting holes in it pretty soon. But my mini orchid is liking it so far.

That's what I did as well 👍🏼

Solder tool*

I did the same with old juice bottles, plastic containers and etc.

Gonna be way to dry fam, she didn’t even add any sphag moss

I have that pot, pain to water. Water runs out before reaching the bottom.

@@Iliketurtles318 Hi, You don't just dunk it in a bucket of water for a few minutes? I didn't think you could water it from the top. But that is the wildest plant pot I've ever seen. Sitting on a shelf, I would never have known what to do with it. Unless you lined it with window screen. So other than watering, how does your plant like it? Thank you for your comment. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵✌️🖖 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️

@@YouDontGetToSeeMyEmail Hi, Would that hold enough moisture in the roots without keeping them too wet? Thank you for your comment. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵✌️🖖 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️

She’s recently posted a video saying that it dried out too quick for her. It’s the second to last post currently on her shorts if you haven’t seen it already

Thank you so so much!!!! Cactass is pretty damn great 💚

@@PlantswithKrystal youre enthusiasm and love for plants makes me giggle. Girl, youre hilarious.. and you've now saved my orchids and my Aunts. Thank you!

Thank you so much for being here 🥹🫶🏽

Yes!! Soil kills and suffocates Orchid roots and turns them to mush. Orchids grow in tropical climates on trees- not in dirt/soil… you can buy little bags of orchid potting medium at Home Depot or ace hardwares for under $10. Bag.

Aerial roots can be a sign of too low humidity, although some orchids make them regardless.

Actually remember that this plants are air plants. So their atrial roots are just great.

What is the purpose of these pots? Or can you give me the name of them so I can look it up?

@@jamie_marie_most are literally just called “orchid pots”. They’re designed to give maximum airflow as orchids are epiphytes and need more oxygen (and less water) than your typical soil-growing plants.

Oh please don't do that. It will rot....

If it's a mini phalaenopsis (a small version of the one in the video) by all means if it's bare root give it a daily soak for 20 minutes, but then drain it off. You can leave a bit of water in the bottom as long as the roots aren't touching it, or put some damp grit or clay balls in the bottom. If you leave the roots in water it might look fine for a while but @promesselilla is right, it will rot sooner or later. They are not aquatic plants. Most need to get at least just dry before being watered again.

I put my phalaenopsis in water for about 3 months, because the roots were slowly rotting in the soil it came in. She was struggling for months and starting to lose her first leaves on the bottom. So I washed all the media off I could, peeled off the rotting sheeth off of roots and left the inside vain of the root. I soaked the roots in peroxide then put the bottom 1/3 of her roots in water. Don't let the middle root (the big one) soak, just the roots on the side. Every week or two, I put her in orchid fertilizer and let her soak for 1/2 and hour, give her a rinse and put her back in the old water she was in, just topped it off with distilled water, so she could keep her rooting hormones. Her leaves stopped rotting and I got 2 gorgeous baby aerial roots. I mounted her two days ago to some cork bark with Sphagnum moss and she seems to be loving life. We have a bright future ahead. She's been in my care for 1 year now. ALL this to say that they can live hydroponically, if you're willing to do the work. There are KZfaqrs who do this often and they do well.

As Krystal says, "Shimmy that pot!" 😀

Got mine at Lowe’s

It’s from Lowe’s 💚

I found mine at lowes

Eventually any potted plant will either outgrow its pot or the mixture in the pot will break down and not allow any air to the roots. Then you need to repot.

No, they are aerial roots not soil roots.
