I killed orchids too. My step-mom says they are easy... I still killed them. I would buy the prettiest at Trader Joes and once the blossoms died, it would whither away... I bought a Orchida pot from Lechuza... (German company) and my orchid is going on 3 years old! I want to buy more, now that I see your method. Found your channel tonight... I used to kill everything... but my garden is my sanctuary... 3rd year of trial and error. I already have tomatoes this year (San Diego). I have a bricked in patio, so it's all containers outside (and fruit trees in Lechuza pots) and hydroponics indoor (Aerogardens)... This is the first year I am having a ton of success... NEED MORE ORCHIDS! So pretty... Oh, and I haven't killed my gardenias ... Thanks for all the tips!!

I have orchid fertilizer, but not sure how often to use it. Right now mine are not blooming. I hope you see this question and will quickly make a short video on it. I love orchids. Thanks so much for all of your informative, gardening videos, which I love!

I received an orchid plant on my birthday, March 6, 2014. Not knowing about this particular plant or watching your video.. I replanted it from its very small pot into a much larger one so as to allow its roots system to fan out, they appeared very bunched up. I also placed it the container having a soil formulated specifically for orchids. I’m wondering here.. I was watering it once a week by saturating the soil with water until it was running out of the plug hole at the bottom of the container, allowing all the water to exit before placing it back in the window. After watching your video.. I’m assuming the wet soil will provide the proper amount of water retention so the roots can absorb this. And since I’m doing this on a weekly basis rather than two weeks, that I should be ok here?? The plant looks very healthy. Any suggestions as to what I should change here? I’d really appreciate it because it means so much to me. Thanks. Great video 👍

Thanks for this! Short, clear, informative. I shall try this method! I have a question: do orchids really dislike being alone? That's what I have read. After having killed all my orchids, I have just received a new one, and only after 2 weeks, the flowers have started withering. It obviously doesn't feel well. Should I buy a pal so it is not alone?
