What people dont know is when you buy orchids from stores they are packed with moss to keep them moist when shipping and when they arrive too the store the moss is still wet and they continue to water them without giving them time to dry out before the next watering causing root rot. Personally i dont use moss .

I started getting orchids two years ago and I just couldn’t quit buying them but I realize what I was doing wrong was way overwatering. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us how to do it right.

Hi Alex. Your orchids are so beautiful! I am working on learning how to grow orchids and it’s not going great. Anyway wanted to tell you how I transplant a plants when it is tight in the pot. I take a large plastic bag and put it down on table, then I slowly gently pull it out with container on its side. It helps to have someone hold container and tilt it. I would try that before breaking the glass. Thanks for your helpful tips. Had no idea you could grow them in a glass container. Good luck!

Your orchids are so beautiful. Thankyou for the watering tips. I am waiting for 2 orchids I ordered from Roeampton Orchids, that will make 15 orchids I have. I have 2 tall glass vases without hole and thought I couldn’t use them because I understood that the pots needed drainage holes. I may have to give it a go. I use bark without moss. I use bark, charcoal and clay balls but only a few and my orchids seem happy.

I took the plunge and took my orchids out of water culture they were noticeably suffering put them in Leca then large bark and a little moss like you show in glass vases. In two months greener leaves 1 plant flower buds on old spikes and 4 plants have new spikes❣️so excited for healthy plants❗️❗️ although like you said how will I ever get them out to repot? I hope that’s a looong way off. And now I know how to water them💕. Thank you thank you Alexander❤️

May I know what’s the ambient temperature of the room where you keep your orchids? In New Zealand summer is really hot and there are days where we have all the four seasons…. Maybe a constant temperature keeps your orchids very happy. Please advise thanks

Do you have a warm environment and growing lights? Where do you live? I'm in upstate NY and the roots take forever to dry in the winter and are suseptible to mold. We keep out heat at 70 F in the winter and i have to take them out of the window because of how cold it gets.

Thanks you. As for fungicide- i dont really use any. If the orchid stem rots then nothing can really save it unless you cut and wait for a new keiki. As for mushrooms in pots that can usually appear- they are not dangerous
