Hi Amy. First want to say I appreciate your videos from both you and your husband. You always provide plenty of specific information on various media with varying methodology. I saw from previous vid when you did repotting in moss, wanted to comment when you remove moss. I use a shallow square-ish (18”x12”) container covered with a tall kitchen garbage bag. When I’m finished removing the moss, simply remove the bag and invert the bag to contain the spent moss. Makes cleanup much easier and less messy. Love when we started to use ppm meters. Makes fertilizing more specific and no more burnt roots. Love seeing your collections and please if you can show closeups of roots and new leaf developments as well as buds to show vegetative growth in healthy specimens. Again terrific job from and terrific wife husband team.

Who knew watching someone water their plants could be so relaxing . . . Your orchids are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!

I love when pups act like that it’s the cutest thing !

Your diligence and dedication to your orchids is very admirable. And little buddy is so cute!

I wanted to thank you for your advice while I was away for 2 weeks (which as one week shorter) than I had planned. When I got home, I found a new leaf and new root had started on each my 3 phals in bark! They seemed to have decided to surprise me in a good way, while I was gone. I ordered the Orchiata bark and will repot them since they are still in original bark since last year.

I've adopted my wifes orchid, she has a brown thumb, my question is why don't you pour the water back through the bark instead of using new water? Can't you let it drain and then pour it back through a couple of times, why waist your fertilizer? I heard you say you put it on your garden but why not cycle it a couple of times?

Pretty hand writing. Nice video great info thank you. 🧡love love your apricot coloured orchid. It’s gorgeous

Thank you so much! So helpful and clear.

Love and Blessings to you and your family. ♥️🌹♥️ Thank You for sharing your knowledge and Blessings with us.

"Hello, Lil Buddy!" Ami, this video is incredibly clear and helpful. Specifically, your written cards and measured fertilizer (Epsom salt) provide visuals and crucial notes that support the ongoing learning of orchid novices, like me. Compliments to Lil Buddy, your daughter, and you for this video lesson. Thank you so much for this helpful lesson. Date: June 8, 2018

Thank you so much for this! I had posted a question about how you water, on a more recent video, then found this one. Your orchids are wonderful.

Thanks for this, I love the Better Gro special orchid mix. I’ve bought it as well the Phalaenopsis orchid mix and I actually prefer the special orchid mix.

I look forward to every one of your videos !

So happy for you help

Hi Amy! I love your instructive videos and calming voice. I’m a new grower and have found that your channel is the most helpful. Do you ever use the water that drains from the orchids during your watering again for orchids? What are your thoughts on submerging the bottom from the bottom in water?

nice dog ! we started putting our dog's breakfast in little pots so he hunts..

Great tutorial! How often do you change the medium on your orchids?

Hi my name is melverta. I got my first orchid for valentine day . I hope that I can grow it as beautiful ❤️ as yours. Wish me luck 🤞

Good morning!How you fertilize orchids with osmocote?Thank you so much🙏

First I have to say doggy son is too adorable. Second, I am new to growing orchids and have 3. One is in rest right now, one is in bloom and one I think I actually killed! The one I think died, got black at the base and roots were thin and mushy. Also, leaves all broke of in one piece from base which was black. It has one good stem with bloom on it. The other 2 stems I cut back as they were also getting black. I sprayed with hydrogen peroxide, put new bark watered and put back in window. I soaked bark in water but did not realize I should fertilize in both stages. Do you think it will survive? It was a gift bought from market and I don’t think it was taken care of. I now will start your routine with the other 2 and any future ones. Thank you 😊

Happy New Year to you and your buddy!

WOW, beautiful!

I bought Schultz orchid fertilizer for my P. Orchid who my daughter rescued. They came to me totally dried out. One of the leaf cracked in the middle, and the rest of the leaves are all drooped down . They were blooming but I think were ignored. So do you think the fertilizer will work?

Hi Ami. Thank you for the descriptive video. I use coconut water diluted as my fertilizer and the plant has been growing with new leaves sprouting up. Can I repot this now as the pots do not have holes in them. Also can I alternate watering with just plain water as the weather is warmer in Texas.

Hi why was your orchid self very shine

Not many people explain how are you water how are you look after your plants

My husband and I also have a Salt & Pepper Schnauzer. His name is Newton!

Being new to water culture for orchids could you tell me how you decide how much water you put in each container.Thank you for a great channel I love seeing all your orchids😊💕

Can you grow dendrobium orchids in water culture too?I loved your videos and learnt so much. Bless you.

DEAR AMY , THIS VIDEO IS VERY GOOD INFORMATION . WHERE DID YOU BUY YOUR WHITE PLASTIC POT

Why are some plants in moss and some in bark?

Omg. Also, an orchid grower here said to soak in water for 30 minutes. I may have killed my orchid this way.

Do you fertilize while they are in bloom? Some experts say not to fertilize when they are in bloom

Merry Christmas i have been watching your channel for one year and i would like to ask you where do you get your orchid supplies from. I have ordered thr orchiada bark cant remember where I got it but it was just so expensive about 30.00 for medium bark i would appreciate this also the clear pots thanks and many blessings to you and your family

Very nice video on watering and fertilizing phals... First to comment today :-)

I am new with orchids, where do you buy cal-mag? Thank you

Hi..emi ..please suggest what time of the day should be appropriate to fertilize orchids..thank you. ..

I have a mini phal that Im trying to rescue. It had root rot , I-cleaned her up and started on full water culture, she had a few arial roots and one new root growth, I put two of the arial roots tips to soak , this for a couple of weeks, the roots are doing fine but the leaves turned yellow, so I put her back in bark again and she now has only 2 leaves left that have hydrated, but Im afraid she will loose those Any hope?

I’m fairly new to orchids and your channel. just soaking up your knowledge! Why did you not fertilize the first 2 orchids? Thx so much?

Hi Amy i hope you are doing fine. 2 things .... the first one i noticed that you don t pre soak in bark the rots so only do that in water culture wright ? And .. you add epsom salt at every feeding i used to give with the cal only but like you i started to give with better grow. At the point no active growth 1 feeding with cal mag and one with better grow mag is it ok (i used only to give cal mag but i think they need the other nutriments )because they need to eat ... Can you tell me if i am good lol.. Today i presoak my phal in WC but it seems i little burned the rots on the top may be i should let more the water soak very well. Ok Amy talk to you soon and have a nice day.

Great video!! Thank you!!

I have a small orqid i bought her on friday. The person said she is called simple Elegance orqid. How many tea spoons do i put on to it for Emor salt??

Do you think Buddy would get upset if you watered your orchids before feeding him? 😆 All of your orchids look so green and healthy...your fertilizing routine is definitely paying off! It makes it easier to have a large saucer or bowl underneath each plant for drainage, as you do. I have to wonder, though - do you have any dishes left for eating, LOL.

Hi. I'm really enjoying your videos and I'm learning a lot. I haven't attempted the water culture yet but hope to do so this weekend. Is the CaliMagic available at Lowes or some other store? Will I have to order it online? How many orchids do you have? And how do you remember the names of each of them and what each type needs as far as media and watering?

can the water collected in the white bucket be re-used on a different orchid?
