#orchidcare #orchids #repotting This video offers a 5-step approach to preparing orchids for repotting, minimizing stress and promoting successful recovery. The video outlines a crucial pre-repotting routine for orchids, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing stress. Here are the key steps: Step 1: Promote New Growth (Optional): Apply light doses of calmag and seaweed extract if new growth is anticipated. (Note: Skip this step if no new growth is visible.) This provides essential nutrients for new roots or shoots and supports natural growth hormones within the orchid. Step 2: Ensure Optimal Conditions: Do not repot orchids without new roots. Maintain ideal temperature ranges specific to the orchid variety. By meeting these conditions, the orchid is better equipped to handle the repotting process. Step 3: Prepare for Repotting Day: Sterilize all tools like tweezers, clippers, and scissors to prevent infections. Prepare a revitalizing soak with calmag and seaweed extract (100-300 ppm, 30% seaweed). Soak the orchid, especially if roots are stuck to the pot. (Tip: Use a thin tool to check if roots detach easily.) Ensure the soaking solution has a pH of 6.7-7.0. Prepare the new pot and potting media beforehand. Following these orchid care for beginners pre-repotting steps helps orchids adapt to new environments with minimal stress. Watch the rest of this 3-part series for additional tips and tricks on stress-free orchid repotting! This video also links to a video on when to repot orchids in old media.

#repotting #orchids #orchidcare This video is a part of a 3-part series on repotting orchids. Repotting can be stressful for orchids, but there are ways to minimize this stress. Even though some root damage is inevitable, the orchid can recover. Here are some key takeaways: Repotting is a transition for the orchid, even if you are using the same media. When removing the orchid from the pot, squeezing it can damage the roots. It is gentler to soak the orchid first. If the orchid is root-bound, you may need to cut the pot to remove it. When repotting, keep the roots damp. You can clean up the root ball by removing some of the older roots in the back. When potting the orchid, center it in the pot and position it as low as possible. You can use a support to secure the orchid in the pot. If you are using organic media, soak it in water before potting, but don't use calmag or seaweed solution. If you are using inorganic media, fill the pot with water before adding the media. Depending on your climate, you may want to position the orchid higher or lower in the pot. #orchideen #orchideenpflege #orquideas #tips #tricks #tipsandtricks #viral #tutorial #care PRE REPOTTING ORCHID CARE TIPS RECOMMENDATIONS PART 1:https://youtu.be/CaaEL6kEKX0 POST REPOTTING ORCHID CARE TIPS: STAY TUNED 🌸

Here's a breakdown for optimal SEO: Keywords: Guarechea Black Comet, orchid care, orchid repotting, Leca media, high-light vs. low-light orchids, sequential bloomer. Price & Value: While the Guarechea Black Comet can be expensive, the video emphasizes its vigorous growth and long-lasting blooms, making it potentially worth the investment. Media & Repotting: The video showcases successful repotting from Coco Coir to Leca, a self-watering media.

Blooming: This orchid is a sequential bloomer, producing multiple flower spikes with long-lasting blooms. Fertilizing: The video recommends a conservative fertilizing regimen during winter with increased fertilization as temperatures rise.

#repotting #tips #tricks This video tackles the unique challenges of repotting a large Coelogyne Pandurata orchid. Unusual Growth Habit: Unlike typical sympodial orchids, Coelogyne Pandurata's new growths emerge from the left side of the previous bulb, creating a circling effect. Repotting Needs: The video showcases repotting due to size constraints and lack of winter light for blooming. Root Care: Coelogyne Pandurata has fuzzy, terrestrial-like roots. While some dead root removal is necessary, established roots should be preserved for healthy growth. Leca Media: The video demonstrates repotting in Leca, a lightweight, inorganic media alternative. Light Requirements: Coelogyne Pandurata thrives in bright, indirect light and struggles to bloom in low winter light. Blooming: Ideally, flower spikes should appear during new growth. This orchid's lack of blooms indicates insufficient winter light. Video Takeaways: Repotting a Coelogyne Pandurata with circling growth requires careful planning for pot size and root placement. Leca can be a suitable media for this orchid, requiring adjustments for watering frequency compared to traditional potting mixes. Proper light levels, especially during winter, are crucial for blooming success. Bonus Tip: The video mentions the Coelogyne Pandurata's unique fragrance, described as resembling dust. #orchideen #orchids #orchidcare #orquideas #orchideenpflege #beginners #leca #coelogyne #tutorial

#orchids #catasetum #care This video challenges traditional Catasetinae orchid care, specifically focusing on repotting frequency and dormancy periods. Here's a breakdown of the key takeaways: Repotting: You don't necessarily need to repot your Catasetinae annually. Maintaining healthy roots throughout dormancy is possible, allowing them to thrive next season. Root Care: Contrary to popular belief, dormancy doesn't require desiccation (drying out completely). Keeping the media slightly damp prevents root death. New Root Growth: When new roots appear, hold off on watering until they mature to avoid burning. Misting aerial roots helps determine maturity. Watering Techniques: The speaker recommends using a self-watering system or bottom watering for organic media. Slow-Release Fertilizer: Avoid using slow-release fertilizer, especially for beginners. Its high concentration can burn new, immature roots. Dormancy: Not all Catasetinae go dormant. Climate, temperature, and light levels can influence dormancy cycles. Don't force dormancy by removing leaves or withholding water. Do Catasetinae benefit from slow-release fertilizer? Are there any negative impacts on Catasetinae when using slow-release fertilizer. Overall, this video provides an alternative approach to Catasetinae care, emphasizing maintaining healthy roots and avoiding unnecessary repotting. #tips #tricks #tipsandtricks #debunked #orchideen #orquideas #orchidcare #beginners

#repotting #vanda #orchids Preempting another High Humidity Season to avoid LOOSING miniature orchids the way I did during the Summer of 2023. My average humidity is 30%, up until the summer of 2023 when my humidity was a stead 85% for 3 straight months. It was amazing for me, I loved it, but my set up is geared toward a very dry climate, so I have all my orchids in semi hydroponic set ups in different variations, but always with highly water retentive media to counteract the dry climate that I live in, which gets exponentially more challenging because of hot dry winds. Hoping that I have learned a lesson because of the loss of the miniatures in 2023, I am working with Vanda falcata ahead of time to attempt to keep her in the collection. How to get a drier semi hydroponic set up is what I am showing in this video. #orchideen #orquideas #orchideenpflege #tips #tricks #tipsandtricks #tutorial

#orchids #orchidcare #beginners MUST WATCH! How is it possible to say 'Orchids like to be in SMALL POTS? Orchids Love being POT BOUND' when in actual fact epiphytic orchids grow on trees and their roots grow all over the place, no tightly confined spaces! There is a reason it is suggested to pot up some orchids in small pots, resulting in some orchids being pot bound, and I will break the reason behind down in this video. However, to narrow it down to these statements, limits any orchid grower who had different conditions from the next grower, and if they follow along those principles they may actually have a harder time keeping their orchids happy. Watch this video to get an understanding behind why these two statements are put out there, and how you can adapt every concept of orchid culture based on what your environment has to offer. #orchideen #orquideas #orchideenpflege #tips #tricks #culture #tipsandtricks
