Thank you SO much for this video! I have been trying to regrow my orchids but any website (even though helpful) don’t have pictures or video showing the steps in cutting or where to cut exactly… so thanks!

Thank you for the video

i love the way you talk about the orchids like it has feelings.. perfect plant person!!
this video is very helpful, I have an Oncidium which has finished flowering what should I do now? Should I just prune back the spike
how do u pop the flowers off when they are done blooming? do u pop them off at the base of the flower stem right next to the main plant stem? mine just fell off, is that ok? will they grow back? my boyfriend and i r worried that we may have hurt it:( its very special and we dont want it to die and just get another one…
i’m pretty comfused about my orchid.i cut it down from the root because it was totaly dried out but now the new branch seems to be growing not vertically and upwards but horizontally and sideways.does anybody know if people who are growing them use a trick to make them go upwards and what that is?thank you!

Don’t listen to this ‘expert’.
She barely knows how to care for orchids, and she admits killing them
There are many different genera of orchids, Phalaeopsis, the one she talks about is a monopodial orchid, meaning one foot. It will not multiply, rather growing on one foot or one growth.
I think you have a sympodial orchid, which means many footed. These guys ‘crawl’ across the orchid dirt, and grow like that. The have a rhizome, where all the growths come from,
@lapandador
You don’t pop the flowers off…
They should fall off on their own. That is the natural way for them. In nature, there is no one that will randomly come to the forest and ‘pop the flowers off’
Let them fall on their own. As long as the spike is green and fresh, the spike has time to produce more buds. Think of it as “what would nature do?”
@sunshinerythym
Oncidiums are very different that the Phalaenopsis orchids that this ‘expert’ is talking about.
These guys take more sun light, and like to stay more moist. Cut the spike close to the psuedobulbs, and wait until the produce more spikes. They can’t be reflowered from an old flower spike.

We don’t want to rot the plant.
Oh my, dousing the center of the plant like that, won’t it cause crown rot? and do humidity trays work well?
