10 Hassle-free Steps & Tips You Didn't Know About Cattleya Orchids
Repotting Cattleya orchids are a little different than Phalaenopsis orchids. If you haven't ever done a repot before, then I hope this video helps. I don't have a written article about repotting Cattleya orchids, but if you're interested in learning how to promote blooms, then this article might help: orchideria.com/cattleya-sheaths/
On Orchideria.com, you can find more in-depth guides and all the access to our information, tutorials, guides, and much more... all for free!
Happy Cultivating!

With the production of new Phalaenopsis hybrids in nurseries, at least one species of Phalaenopsis orchids will be in bloom during any specific time of the year, usually during spring or late fall.

    I moved to SW Florida because my orchid addiction was seated in my mind, and I needed it to blossom into physical reality. I'm a fan of bare root method for vandas. I have a huge pot that I use for root soaking, and it's so easy. I use a mister to fertilize. So far, so good! The roots are thriving, growing quickly, and becoming thick and hearty. When they decide to bloom again, I will be the happiest orchid mom alive!

Never had this issue. I am going to start watering more because the high temps. I have never re- potted it. Do I cut this spike? Where do I cut its yellow seems all the way to the stem. Thank you.

    I have killed so many Orchids. Friends tell me I kill them with Love, or overwatering them in tight containers. When i saw this video, I had to watch it and learn. Thanks so much for your Calcium video. Your amount of crushed eggshells really has no calculated amount when making your own. Especially if your eggs are fresh or not too. I can only imagine that the lesser fresh eggs are lower in calcium. you most likely will never know just how fresh your eggs really are. Also, the orchid or likely any plant, only takes up what it needs. The rest is just idle and will only use the shells as it needs them. Hence the long period between applying it. Nitrogen and phosphorous is a different story. I also like the idea of boiling the eggshells to extract some of the calcium and other nutrients of the eggshell and using it to "water" my garden plants. I never would have thought of that. So in conclusion for Marky below, do you feel better after belittling the presenter of a video that makes sense to other viewers and not you? Marky, please know that any amount of eggshells is okay, because the orchid is only going to use what it needs and you can't "harm" the plant with eggshell dust. And you won't make too much because you"'ll be tired of crushing them with that mortar and pestle. Chill out !!

    What if I didn't know better and replanted all of my Orchids only to find out the media that I repotted them in has gnats? I watched your video on getting rid of the gnats but I just repotted. I didn't use the full repotting that you suggest anyway. My plants are less than a year old and roots are very healthy. I want to restart and do it right, am I going to hurt them more?

Ive had a hard time with my orchids and mold in media and mold in full water culture. I know i over watered them when they were in media. Ive learned a lot since then. In your opinion/experience, for colder environments like mine, do you think i should keep my orchirs in full water culture and switch to semi wc, have dry days, or go back to medium?

    I have had very good experience with nicotine on other plants. Currently trying it on an orchid. Buy a bag of cheap and strong tobacco and put it into hot water for an hour or cold water for 12 hours. Filter the liquid and you can use it 30:1 for spraying and 10:1 for watering the plants. It works systemic and is not harmful to plants. It also will disolve quickly so its fine to use on food plants too if you are not about to harvest them. It is organic but extremely potent! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH! Nicotine is highly harmful to any living animal including humans so be aware and use proper safety gear!

    Thank you! I’m so tired of ignorant people posting using H2O2 on an orchid plant. Very bad for plant. It kills all very important healthy bacteria needed for plant survival. You can’t go wrong using garlic water. 2 to 3 cloves in 1 Qt of purified, boiled water. Let garlic soak in water for 20-30 minutes. After water is cooled, strain. Then soak roots in the garlic water for 10 minutes. Then, dry the roots for a few hours. Repot in sterilized pot. Garlic is an anti fungal and anti biotic. Wipe leaves with garlic water as well.
