.......great tips and guidlines to follow......I told everyone on my video...to come hangout during your Live feed tomorrow night......hope to see you then......Rick

Hi Nina, great video and yes helpful. Received my 20 additional compac Catts. I always treat them with your welcome home seaweed and cal/ mag. The orchids love it. Treating all orchids with anti fungal/ bacteria spray as spring brings higher temps and humidity, watch your orchids closely. Added more fans to grow areas. I will be there for your live show tomorrow, everyone should be there. I just saw a video from Rick L. Orchids, he had much well deserved praise for you. You are the Orchid Master, much ❤️ 😍 🎉

🦒🙋🌹Great content, such useful information is never too many times pointed out❤❤❤

Thanks Nina. I use a small very thin bakers decorating spatula around the pot edge. A good soak is best.

Thank you, Nina! I haven't done pre repot care before, just a cal/mag seaweed soak at repot time. I'll have to incorporate this in future. 🙏😘🤗❤️

I usually line up different size plastic containers with matching decorative containers.

You never know how many roots the orchid will have until it's out of the pot and cleaned up. ☺️

Hey Orchid Ninja 👋🏻 Finally getting to some of my YT vids. Great tips and info!! On to the next vid...

Great video, Nina!

in my case, I use Hormex by the brand "Ramgo". It's like superthrive equivalent here in our countey but I think it's much more better. I water the new orchids or the old ones that I need to repot with water mixed with this product around 2-3 times just a week before I repot! and they don't even show stress! just less than a week after doing so, new root tips are already appearing and available eyes are plumping up on the divisions I made.

This product is also great for cut flowers, just for example a spike was already blooming and has still some buds to open, but accidentally the spike was broken, you can also use this product as an additive to the water and put the cut spike in there and it'll supply nutrients to the spike for some time and it'll make the buds grow and still open even though it's not even on the plant anymore~

I've only started using it this month and it's already working nicely. Will surely make a video in the future once I get the hang of it and I really see constant and amazing results! 💚

Shared this one to Facebook. People need your help

In my case, I have already done a damage to my cattleya division I bought one year ago and repotting the plant when our day temperature was soaring at above 36 degree celsius Nina.Very useful video.

Great video!

Thanks for the tips! ❤

Hi Nina, I'm having trouble with the 2 rescue orchids, had to remove them from pots, back into semi hydro as they were not stable enough for the leica.
New roots and leaves growing, then likely not enough air flow near a grow light, combined with not enough energy for myself to deal with orchids while I'm mending from injury.
Anyhoo, roots rotted and lost an older leaf on each plant, roots growing again. Wondering how long they need to be before attempting another potting in leica. They have good air flow now on a northwest shaded and screened window sill. Am running out of enthusiasm for orchids needing extra care knowing once they have flower spikes they'll be returned to owner. Currently i have no other orchids.
I am so very impressed with the prolific plants you have, and information you readily share. Thank you so much for your support. ❤🦋

I like to get a clean feathery brush and brush all of the nooks and krannies and then wipe down all of the leaves with lemon juice and water using a cotton pad or tiny brush for the little orchids..


Something I’ve been wondering though.. cal mag seaweed stuff..

I have well water, and I use it and alternate every couple watering with rain water. Though my tap water is filtered, and is mostly suitable for orchids (though probably and definitely not ideal to best) but it is naturally pretty high in calcium and magnesium I believe. I began flushing pretty often about once a month and with all of this practice, I have no issues with salt burn and such on my roots.
But if there’s already a high amount of calcium and magnesium…can I just try seaweed fertilizer because I do have some and I do have a couple new orchids that came nearly rootless and have new eyes swelling.

Is it dangerous or is there a downside to possibly using this seaweed or any fertilizer for that matter when it’s just two or 3 little roots on the orchid?
I’m afraid I’m going to pause the progress of these new eyes as I have two coming in and I am already lucky because it came with a new baby growth that didn’t survive the stress of transport and had rotted off by the third day in my home. (Was shipped in wet compacted spag moss and a bunch of buried pseudobulbs rotting in the medium ) >_<

Long story short

Should i skip the added hormonal stuff and the cal mag or fertilizer? Or any one of these and not the others?
I have been fertilizing very very weakly to the brassavola with two new beginning eyes. But I also am dreading a potting up of this orchid.

Could use some advice if you have the time.
Thank you and I’m sorry for the novel and for all the questions and uncertainty haha

So nervous about these little guys. Can’t believe I have two eyes beginning after losing the lead growth of my brassavola hybrid.

Hi Nina very interesting video as per usual love your videos lovely day today sunny and warm but my plants aren’t drying out properly as quick as I would like them so I have taken them out of the decorative pot and left the ones with the hose in on the windowsill to see if the air will dry them out a little bit quickerso that I can fertilise all my plants again I have got one stubborn one will not flower done everything don’t know what else to do❤❤

Great video to watch for my coffee time this morning! You might have said it, but do you equate new growths with new root growth? And are there any recommendations for those moments when you feel that an "emergency" repot is necessary? Enjoying a great Memorial Day weekend thanks to those who have given their service (and sometimes life) for us to be able to live in our great countries. In a bit I'll get outdoors and spend some time working on my orchids. Hope that you are having a nice Monday. Keep producing your videos. They are helpful to orchid growers everywhere.

Can you do a how to sterilize video? Iheardyou say once that the alcoholneeds to evaporate to sterilize.something I did not do

What do you do if you were too lazy to do a series of repots and a bunch of plants all grew roots into each others pots and they are impossible to separate? Asking for a friend.
I got a new plant today, Lycaste Phoebe x Zygonisia Cynosure. It arrived with exactly zero live roots. Repotting it was therefore easy.
