Orchid Care on YouTube

June 7, 2010

If you haven’t already discovered it, you might be surprised at the amount of information on orchid care that’s available on YouTube. The Just Add Ice Orchid YouTube channel has great information on watering, lighting and temperature for orchid to keep them healthy and blooming. 


The American Orchids Society has a channel called Orchid TV. They’ve got 18 videos on their channel, including 2 different ones on cutting Phalaenopsis spikes. It can’t hurt to see it done once before trying this out on your own plant.

Just Add Ice’s favorite decorator P. Allen Smith has his own channel too but one video in particular dedicated to Phalaenopsis Orchids. The description says, “They're known the world over and grow in some pretty strange places. But, as Allen Smith shows us, orchids don't have to be foreign to you.”

A channel called My orchid care has a couple on our favorite Phals. One on Phalaenopsis Repotting one on Cutting Spikes on a Phalaenopsis.

The Expert Village channel has tips on how to do just about anything, but they’ve got several on orchid care that seems to begin with Orchid Care: Plant Structures and Development : Understand the Various Stages of a Growing Orchid. Once you’re there, you’ll see a slew of additional orchid care videos listed. We counted 15 more listed on the right.

And someone going by the name of Orchid Expert has, among other things, a video called Phalaenopsis Orchid Care Made Easy “Phalaenopsis Orchids can be easy to care for if you know the steps. This tutorial on Phalaenopsis Orchids should help you care for this Orchid variety.”

And these are a few of the videos we found when we did a search for “orchid care”! If you’ve watched them all, you can also do a search for “orchid plants” or just plain “orchids” and you may find a few you haven’t seen before.
