Thanks so much for those easy yet effective tips on addressing yellow leaves and over fertilized orchids.

are you selling your other orchids????how much???do you have facebook accnt???pls send me a friend request..

Hi Brad, Lynn from Western Australia. Lately I have been using worm juice for feeding all my plants. Have you heard any one else doing this, and do you have any comments?

Why my orchid has no flower?

Thanks for the info Brad. I've got a Wilsonara hybrid, that has a lot of Odontoglossum in its genetic makeup. It got a lot of leaf burn in my east-facing window, which doesn't bother most of my other orchids. I recentlly found out that this is due to the fact that Odontoglossums prefer cooler temps than most Oncidium alliance orchids. Now I make sure to have a fan going during warm weather and when my windowsill is getting direct sun light.

Thanks from Brazil.

New to orchids, but appreciate your help. I have my orchids repotted in a clay-stone medium and pot system to promote air circulation. Had transplanted them about three weeks ago from packed spaghnum and bark medium. Hoping to save. I have them outside on a covered deck (I live in Georgia; good light, high humidity) that is in a western-facing direction. What are their odds?

Hi Brad,

your videos truly are the best! I have been able to save a few of my orchids thanks to your videos but now I am not sure the damage I have on one of my phaelanopsis leaves is due to too strong fertilizer. One of the leaves tip edge has turned black as in truly black and wrinkly almost overnight, as I handle my orchids daily and there is yellow line between the black edge and the green of the rest of the leaf. I have always used the same strength fertiliser and usually give it once a week if not less so I find it weird that out of the blue it could be too much fertiliser. Any ideas?

I will apreciate you speak a little slow for spanish people, I love your videos but my english is not very good

Very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Very helpful, Thanks Brad :)

hi brad , do you have any idea what spiece is my 2oncidium

So Dracula orchids are a lot more tolerant of water than say phal?
