Hello viewers! If you'd like more information on growing miniature phalenopsis orchids, I have done an updated video on this topic...here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y-B1bNRyuLrPaX0.html Thanks so much for watching and happy growing!

I'm new to orchid growing and I enjoy your videos so, so much! And I'm going to take it from you to start naming them. I'm naming my first one Buddy, in your honor! I fell into this new hobby when we first quarantined in March 2020. I'm totally hooked! I just spent A LOT of money on new solar shades to turn an unused room in my house into the light source I need. My husband says I better stick to this hobby for the amount of money I've been throwing at it! 🌸

I could listen to your southern accent for hours. Also great advice! Thank you!

I am supposed to be writing an opinion editorial for college but I cannot stop watching your videos! I am just so excited about my orchid journey!

Dear Orchid Whisperer, I thank you for the detailed advise. My mother recently passed under terrible extreme health problems, just so complicated. What I want to say is I purchased my mini orchid 6 mo later. Now being a year, and now is 6 mo. Later from purchase. I had many plants from my mother's slips and such, and I thought I had a green thumb for 15 years . Now this orchid I realized needed much different help than I was used to , so Thank you with so much love. Mary

I'd love to spend the day reading in your grow space. It's lovely

Love this thank you. I think my mini phals are going to be very thankful as well hehe. You're just lovely.

Love them! Mine are in the South window and they get tons of water and fed all the time and they do wonderful! ! :)

Thanks so much for making this video. I only have one miniature and I struggle. I will take your advice (now I'm going to name it too!)

Thank you so much for this video! Two of my sons have mini Phals and I am struggling with their success. I will do as you say and increase the watering. I had already upped the fertilizer, but these guys are a completely different ball of wax from full sized Phals.

Thank you orchid whisper for another infomative video, I have 2 minis one in water Coulter the other in hydraton the one in water Coulter the roots keep getting longer and longer but no new leafes I've hade it about 4 month I'm hoping it will do something other then prudence long roots mabe it's not getting enough nutrients so I'll have to Change that rutine, the one in hydraton is doing wonderful, and becouse it drys out more quickly it gets more nutrition couse I fertilize every time I water, so your observation is correct ,thank you for sharing your wonderful knowlege with us. Can't wait to see your vandals in bloom😊

I water orchids with used aquarium tank water. The nitrates are absorbed by the planting medium and then transferred to the plant.

That was excellent.

Thanks for the info God bless you fantastic idea bye

Hi yes Thankyou that really does help

just beautiful arrangement , I didnt know you could grow them in water thank you/

I won't be concerned just because you said it's nothing to be concerned about. It's just that I have a few phals and this was a first for me. Thanx for getting back to me! I will watch the video.

I killed my 2 in my first month of growing by overwatering...so i do need to check the roots going silver and i wont spray them any more so no water van be inbetween leaves. I have no luck with them. And yeah they are hungry thirsty beasts. Im so amazed by your success. Next spring i wil try again. Ty for these beginners tips. I love them. Kind regards rose🌹

Thank you for this. I only started buying phals last year February mini's. Bought my second one a week ago. They're both a bit bigger than your smaller mini's. What is your experience with them reblooming? The one I've had for 15 months has not rebloomed.

Perfect 👍

So nice. .☺

Thank you for this video! The mini phals are so cute, yet I never seem to have much luck. Right now I have 2 in bark (with moss on top) planted in pots that *look* too big and I'm hoping that this time they live. I grow under lights, I'll move them and give them an extra squirt of food..

Hi could you please tell me what size pot the one is inside the white pot. 3"??? And what size bark do you use? Thank you for your video it was the most informative I have found.

My mom hasn’t repot her orchids like 2-3 years.. one of the older ones is already close to dying, would guess that it doesn’t have roots any more.. surprisingly it flowered shortly after my mom fertilizer.

How do you water them? Do you leave them to sit in the water before draining the water?

Have your Phil’s had babies and if so how did you pot them? Many thanks!

How can you tell if it's actually a mini or just a small regular phal? Mine get morning sun, in a window facing kind of east-southeast plus a grow light. For some reason I lose all the minis in winter. :(

Thank you for sharing 😊

I will review those videos....thank So much

This was a very interesting video! Thank you! How do you know when to repot a mini orchid? what signs do you look for? I just got a mini one.

Nice video! Felt like the shrooms kicked in at about 2:38...trippy

When do you expect these to bloom? I bought a mini for a friend who has a green thumb. Liking hers, I bought one for myself. Hers died - and mine has been getting roots, no flowers, however. Two weeks ago I repotted the little dear into an orchid mix - and into a pretty ceramic orchid pot/tray. I then watered it - and sprayed a bit of fertilizer. So far, all looks/seems well. Oh, and southern window - here in southern CA - but the sun doesn't stay long in that window.

Orquid Whisper, thank you so much for the tutorials, a quick question I noticed the orquids in moss looks very moist, how often do you water them?

You are so articulate in your explanations// I agree with the frequency of fertilising.. In nature orchids are probably fertilised every time it rains!!!

I would love to know, how do you get such an attractive growth habit from your phals? I love the way your phal leaves kind of spread out and grow in different directions. Do you turn them somehow to get them to grow that way? I especially love Buddy's growth habit.

I have 2 type of orchids one is miniature phalaenopsis the other one is a big one. What kind of median can I use for both of them? moss or bark, and what brand do you recommend me to use? thank you so much

Hello, i'm from South California and I would like to know how you keep your Phal Orchids so shiny? All your Orchids are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! And my you have a blessed week :-)

how often do you water your mini orchids?

My Phal's have gnats. It started a week ago. I have three minis and one old large one. I have them in bark. I have been watering minis 2x a week lg one once a week. I have been following your schedule. Since getting gnats I have been spraying with peroxide solution ,and watered with peroxide water.mi have cider vinegar solution in little bowl nxt to them. Also have a fan going. But still have them. I am going to repot them with fresh bark mix. My main concern is the mini phal that seem to have the most infestation has spikes. If I repot will it make buds fall,or dry up?

Could you show how and where to cut stem after blooming?

I have a question, do vandas need a lot of humidity? I used humidifiers but I became worried about my house.

My phal has what looks like a bruised root. Do you know what this could be or what I should do? I'm very concerned!

Wow, I thought those small orchids in the store were just baby plants. I was wondering why the store was charging so much for them. :-) After I get the hang of the larger orchid, I will definitely try growing a miniature. Thank you for the info!

The little miniature that I bought that I did show on one of my latest videos I think it's called potting and repotting that one has seven leaves and it's starting to rebloom at the end of the old flower Spike and I love that little thing I love its flowers so if it gives me more I'm going to be just tickled to death because I keep him on my kitchen windowsill. It's so funny my dog Finney is all into our conversation so she's putting her nose all up in the phone so that I pay attention to her instead of you. Have a blessed day Amy!👉👵👈

The newest leaf on Buddy certainly is healthy looking! Do you think it has reached its full size yet? 😊 The double margjns certainly are unusual! Your mini phals seem to love growing in moss!

Have my miniatures in water culture but glad I’m picking up some NZ premier spaghnum moss from the US next month! Have you any idea Amy why the miniatures are fine for a year and then stall. I don’t have any idea except maybe they need more fertiliser in water culture than normal phals. There’s obviously something missing for them.🤔🤔🤔🤔

Thanks again for another video that I needed, I also took my minis out of water culture, I don't have any smaller pots I have them in regular pots because I didn't have any smaller pots, do you think they will be ok? Or should I place place them in small yogurt containers and will drill holes in them, thanks again and God bless

Can u tell me where to purchase those plastic cup u use and what size they are

Hi, I love your videos. What kind of moss you use if you don't mind sharing?

I purchased two mini Phals and a regular size Phal last summer. I already owned a full size Phal for over a year. I had promised myself that if I could get that orchid to bloom again that I would buy another one. So I ended up buying three more. Anyway, I am now searching to find out how to get those minis to bloom! After they were done flowering I repotted them. They were in those tiny two inch pots that they sell minis in. I put them into four inch plastic orchid pots. They have grown new leaves and lots of roots. They seem extremely happy but no flower spikes! My full size Phals go through regular cycles of blooming and growing leaves. They are both in bloom right now but not the minis. What am I doing something wrong? They get the same fertilizer that the full size Phals do, of course, they are watered at different times due to the difference in drying times. I hate to water them more often in order to fertilize them. I was thinking about getting some time release fertilizer to add to their pots but am unsure. I don’t want to over do the fertilizer. I just moved them to grow lights that are a bit more powerful than the one that they had been under. I really don’t know what else to do. My plants have a southern exposure but we live in a forest and have trees blocking a great deal of light much of the year. Grow lights are the only way that I can successfully grow plants indoors.

Why does my phalenopsis not have any aerial roots. Is it because it because it is too young? Help please.

hello hope you doing great . i like to ask u aQ not telated to this video . Hopevhoi repply Do you give foliar feed sperately ? whats nutration at what ppm you are using in summer ? Dl you use calcium nitrait ? How do you add with which other nutraits ? Do you soray NPK fot your foliage spray ?? hooe gou can reDmy W

Hi I have a minerture never had a flower ....why

What do you do when you go out of town ?...for a week?

Why did my long healthy happy phalaenopsis leaf spit up the middle?

Question.. can I use fish tank water for nitrogen? Also, how many times a week do you water and fertilize the mini's?

Its growing in bark or orchid media.

I bought a mini orchid and it's pot is 2.5 inches

말은못알아들어도 잘보고있읍니다.싱.싱하네요성공하곘어요

I’d take it

O so that's a different type of plant I bought not a young orchid....o

I don’t understand 20-14-14 or any #-#-#. It doesn’t make sense to me.
