Repotting Paphiopedilum Orchids 🌸

- This years summer was especially hot & dry so I struggled to keep up with my Paph watering. They really needed a new potting medium that would be more water retentive & a desiccated root clear out. So I repotted them & here we are 4 months later with healthy & blooming orchids ☺️ The ones that aren’t blooming will probably need much more time to recover, but so far the results are looking goood

CZcams recommended your videos for a rewatch! Hope you’re doing well and come back soon. No rush though! I remember watching your videos when I first got into houseplants and you inspired me to get a wider variety of genuses 😊❤
An expert grower told me to put them in the smallest container that their roots just fit into and that tip turned my culture around, now I have to cut mine out of pots as the root systems are so healthy and big.
what a success story! thumbs up to having the patient to film the before and after of repotting - it's rare to see videos like this with 4-month time span and this is so helpful to see. thank you, Erika!
This gave me hope
Nice to see another video Erika, I still want to get a paph but I haven’t seen any for the past year. The 2 that are blooming are my favorite colors of paphs.
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful
you inspire me to get into orchids! these are so beautiful, great work! 💗
Yes please you will love them!
This makes me want to get on the paphi bus!! 😁
They rewarded you with the blooms!!
I used to b a cutter. I must say plants give me so much peace
Erica: always good to see a new video.👍 I gave my orchids a deep soak (and drain of course) since I've always been a superficial waterer. You have some beautiful orchids there! Take care 🙂 🪴
Wow beautiful plants
Impressive!
Thank you Erica. Just when I thought of repotting my orchids, I saw your video. I too neglected my poor orchids and did not water them regularly. I lost a few as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
Heck ya get those babies happily growing again 💚
@@ErikaLodes hi Erica. Got some fertiliser and new pots today to report! Must definitely get them on the road again!
Hi Erika! I noticed that after repotting, the media looks real dry. Do you often left them get that dry before watering? Despite that, the roots are amazing!
What are the names of the two green paphs at the end?
The last orchids I got were planted in straight spagnum, is that right...?
I have some orchids planted in all sphagnum, you just have to water differently depending on their medium. I have bulbophyllums & Phal dendrobiums in all sphagnum. If it’s not your cup of tea tho you can add in some bark or switch it out completely w bark.
I switched to either only mineral substrate or sometimes even just water several years ago, never look back^^ no more fungus gnats, no more overwatering, no more old substrate waste^^ I can definately recommend^^
Where did you buy your paphiopedilum orchids from?
Hmm a few different places. One from the LA Flower Market, one from Lowes, one from Armstrong Garden Center, two from Orchid Fever, & the rest from Norman’s Orchids. I haven’t bought any online
Those plants are suffering they will all most likely die unfortunately.
What makes u say that
Why do you throw your old medium away?
I threw away the organic part & kept whatever kind of stone was in there. Maybe it was perlite?
