Amenda I see that the banana fertilizer work faster for my orchid than the chemical fertilizer, I use the chemical fertilizer so many years, my orchid went big but Wil not rebloom, sinds I see your program, I try it and I see progress, Amenda keep on going with your good work I love it.

Too cute at the end. Thanks for the advice. -J.

The teabag method has worked for me really well, however I have not used it as fertilizer... ive soaked rescues in diluted brewed tea with a little lemon, just to help them along... 80% of the time with success

I love your videos because you give the science behind your method. Thanks!

Just found you…so excited You explain content so well, a beginner gets what your saying 🙏🏻

Your information is great, but most of all you have a great sense of humor which is great to see its funny and enjoy your videos. Thank you for you great humor and information.

Thanks a lot for clarifying the "Tea" method. I do have a couple which are in ICU, (those I "rescued" from a Nursery) and the tea soak is what they need (I think). Thanks a mill!!

Amanda, I really appreciate your scientific approach to orchid care. The more I research, the more confused I get. I will come to your site for questions from now on. Before reading your information on using banana skins for fertilizer, I baked then powdered banana skins and sprinkled the powder on my plants. Within weeks everyone had a bloom spike. In two years I had never had a re-bloom so I was thrilled. Now I fear I have hastened the death of my "girls." What should I do? Also, I have bacterial black spot on two leaves of a Dancing Lady Dendrobium that has just finished flowering. I have her isolated and in low light. Should I just remove the two leaves rather than treat with Physan 20? Thanks, Frances

I started watching your videos recently after I got interested in Orchid plants, I really like the simplicity you have in all your videos,,,

This year I used an orchid plant feed from the garden centre. My orchids have just about flowered once this year compared to up to three times a year using tea bags as a fertiliser in previous years. I went back to feeding with a teabag and low and behold my orchids are beginning to flower.

Sue from NZ. My Orchid has just finished flowering, so I will definitely give the tea bags a go. I have the white variety and always looks so nice. Thank you for your guidance. I will let you know how it grows.

I am going to start using this for my orchids.♥️ thank you !

just add a few banana peels to the tea over night, and you ll get all the stuff the orchids need.

Due to inexperience I am still learning what to do with orchids. I have killed a number of them due to this fact. I have been watching several of your various videos on how to care for orchids and am going to try some of your methods that you have provided in this video and others. Thank you very much for your insight.

Lol..your bloopers are so cute. Today i am going to try the cal mag/epsom salt fertilizer ive heard so much about. My orchids are doing so well im kind of afraid to...well...if it aint broke, dont fix it scenario but instead of my reg store orchid fertilizer will kick it up a notch. .i do have a vanda thats been trying to commit suicide for like 6-7 monthes now ( long story) but i think i will try the tea bag for it. I wont let her die!! Thank you for a great video..i like that your not so serious about stuff lol. Have a great saturday!!

Thanks for sharing this info, will be trying this hint to fertilize mine. God bless and stay safe!

Hello, my question has nothing to do with tea. What is the name of that beautiful paphiopedilum? It so pretty. Thank you for the information on how to use tea. Our well water is quite acidic, is tea a good option for me? It’s been a while since I’ve checked, but it’s in the 5.5 range.

Thanks for your tips.. what is a good fertilizer?

Which tea is best? Black? I'm a little confused on soaking or sprinkling. Help

Never knew tea could be used as a fertilizer

A lot of information, All we need to know about orchids thank you very much.

I appreciate the information

I have a couple of orchids that are in dire need of some TLC. I have researched but, unfortunately everything I have come across that could probably help is in another language lol, which even after watching it I wasn’t able to understand and gave up, so imagine how excited I was to come across your channel!!! Thanks for sharing

Hi Amanda, all of your Orchids are GORGEOUS but your Pink Lady Slipper Orchid is BREATHTAKING!! Based on your "water culture" video, I finally have about three of my Orchids in full water culture. Once has already grown 5 roots which was shocking. One is a rescue Orchid that's finally grown two roots, and one is a large one with a green spike that already flowered so it's cut back and I'm hoping it reblooms. I want to start fertilizing them with more natural fertilizers like tea, Epsom salts etc., so thank you for this video.💕🥰🙏🏼

Hello, thanks for your videos, can I use the third method together with orchid fertilizer?

I will try the black tea...lightly.

Well explained thanks a lot.

Thank you for the very informative video.

Hi dear sis! I'm orchid lover❤️ It's good to hear what you are sharing because it's very informative. Can we use chamomile tea for the orchids? Thanks and hope to have your reply 🙏🙏

Great information as always! Thank you.

Lol, your videos make me laugh, you're so cute and sweet. Yes, keep these vids coming, they're very helpful. Even though I've been growing plants for years, I just recently started growing orchids and really appreciate the time you take to share what works for you and you're pleasant on top of that. God bless you!😇

Drink lots of tea so this is going to be excellent for me Thanks dear,Amanda

Excellent instructions! thank you so much

Thank You for sharing. Did not know this. Thank You! Have a fantastic day

Oh, my how beautiful what type is that orchid, the first one? It's beautiful!!!

Thank you.

will try thank you

Thank you for sharing Amanda!❤️🥰❤️🥰

Love your videos!!! Could you please show a video on how to use molasses. Thanks😍😍😍

Hi Amanda, my orchid is in good health but would like to give them some tea. Is unflavoured black tea good for them? And how often can I do this?

Thanks for the interesting video.

I got so much out of this video. You covered everything I wanted to know about using tea with orchids. Will all orchid varieties benefit from tea?

thank you so much for sharing very informative

I use used tea bag.my Orchids are grow so well.ii apply to my Orchids for years.

i just transferred my orchids to water your new and I think I did it right I hope I need to get some kind of food for the orchid. What do you recommend?

Greetings! Do you know what form the Ca and Mg are in the tea? I am asking to confirm that these elements are soluble in water and available for the roots to absorb and the orchid to use. Thanks!

....... Your comment about calcium is very valuable to me. My fertilizer DOES have all micronutrients, but NOT calcium, so, tomorrow, I shall be preparing egg shells, thank you!

Thank you Amanda 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you Amanda 😘for midnight

HI Amenda I have good news, that banana peel fertilizer work good for my vanda orchid and my phal, I have a lot of vanda orchid and phal. that never rebloom sind I bought them, al

Amenda if I use banana fertilizer on my orchid, after how many time I will see result on my orchid?

Hi I am just starting out I just wanted to know if decaffeinated tea will also work?

Amazing collection 😍

Does this apply to terrestrial orchids as well? Like a Jewel orchid?

Thank You so much.🌅🤔🇩🇰🇺🇸💙

I'm going to try it with black tea. Do I use one cup of warm water and then add the water to my orchid. Awesome video 😇🙏

I have a question: Does bark media needs to be fertilized even if the plant has been recently repotted with fresh bark media? Another question: As the media breaks down does it produce NPK? And thank you so much for all your very informative videos!!!😀

Thank you very much ❤️

Thank you for the info! Loved the bloopers. What a fun!

What do you think of putting ground egg shells in the growing medium? I grind egg shells and pour them on my other flowers

Very informative

Hi dear, can you show banana peel water….how and when I can use in my orchid in water culture….plsss

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing all the facts that you did! Your video was the most helpful I've watched, out of what felt like hundreds, So I thought you Deserved a Special THANK YOU!¡!¡! °☆•Much Appreciated!!•☆°

I own one orchid. What are your feelings about watering the orchid from water from a fish tank (I keep several freshwater tanks) as a means of fertilization?

Calicium nitrate give very good result.

If all you're after is calcium and magnesium--which are usually supplied separately to NPK--then just use CalMag. Get the farm grade CalMag instead of the hippie horticulture one, as it will have the correct calcium to magnesium ratio and is much more concentrated. A five litre bottle will last for a long time and you can do all your plants and garden with it. That analysis quoted in the video is actually quite variable and not to be relied upon. Some imported teas contain amounts of heavy metals that will accumulate in potting media over time. Not too worried about those but, this kind of "hack" approach to fertilizing is likely to produce all sorts of results. What is the effect on the orchids on the long term use of tea as fertilizer, considering the large amounts of polyphenols and tannins in tea? You're still missing the macro nutrient sulfur and supplying unknown (if any) trace elements. The point of fertilizing plants is to use the right amounts of specific nutrients as per plant needs. This video is right along the lines of using various "things" instead of using complete and balanced nutrients of known composition in known form. Many a plant suffer from this kind of approach. I dont see camelia sinensis or derivative human products (tea) as a fertilizer for orchids in nature, so using tea makes less sense than using real fertilizer made for plants to grow.

Is it OK to use consumed tea leaves.How beneficial it for ORCHIDS.

nice

Black tea

How about use used teabags n make some more tea? Shd b very dilute!

I have tried everything to get my lady slipper orchids to bloom.. In our old house they were in a south facing window and bloomed a couple of times a year, now in our new house we don't have south facing windows and they haven't bloomed in the past 4 years. what should I do.

I usually water my orchids every 10 days for 10-15 minutes and fertilize once a month. Can I soak them in tea instead of water?

Ised tea bags right?

I' got deodumins for three years It's healthy but not flowering Wat do I use

I use banana skins to fertilize ..

Can you use tea from bags that hasn't been used.

I read it was the tannins in tea. ? And it had to be black tea. Who knows.

I sprinkled a bit of a (black)tea bag content on the bark: all it did to me is the soil got moldy!! :S

What is the best use for "used" tea left in bag? 🌿

If you make too much then don't worry as I believe you can drink it. ☕😀

You are so gorgeous. 👍👏👏👏👏👏

Can I repot an orchid that's in bloom

Used tea bags or unused tea bags

Are you using used tea or fresh tea?

💐😊 A little bit complicated so I prefer not to use this method, thanks.

It us pronounced Polly- pro-puh- lean.

It would help if only she would get to the point!

This is a old remedy with the tea for the orchids.

Thanks for sharing this info, will be trying this hint to fertilize mine. God bless and stay safe!
