I’m trying it
Comment from : Cynthia Cisneros

I am in the process of transferring my collection to semi-hydro I ordered 25 liters of hydroton through Amazon, and am only rinsing it thoroughly, but is there a need to do more? And I’m also using self-watering pots, but I’m confused about fertilizers and tap water I only have tap water at my disposal is that going to be a deal breaker in a S/H setup? Thanks for any suggestions! Renee in Pennsylvania

i will be testing leca shortly, thx to these vids, thx!
Comment from : Norman Torok

Is that white pot a regular pot or a self watering pot?

DENNY I TRIED THE LECA LIKE YOURS , I FIND IT A LOT EASIER AD CLEANER
Comment from : Ethel Rizarri

Did you try to grow maxillaria in self watering pot? I reported it couple weeks ago and not sure if I need to leave for longer time or go back in organic medium And I am very afraid to experimenting with my orchids
Comment from : Tanya Abaimova

Hi Dani, I moved all my orchids from organic medium to semi hydro a month ago I live in Bangalore and we are at the height of our summer now Except for one phal which is dehydrated and not doing too well all the rest have shown exceptional growth and have adapted well and have sprouted new roots and leaves Thank you very much, your videos were really very helpful My orchids are happy and so am I :-)brI have moved my dehydrated phal into sphagnum moss and it seems to be improving

I'm in - I love this method!!
Comment from : Aprille Thomas

Hi Danni, I just recently started using it I have a number of my orchids mixed with some spag moss and leca
Comment from : Veranda Orchids

I want to switch to it because I have a few orchids that need more water than I can provide each week I hope you make your preparation video soon of the medium because that would be so helpful to me when switching!

Hi Danny, I just purchased TODAY some SERAMIS clay granules from GERMAN DELI store in Grapevine Texas 75 L for about $20 They Do ship out of state with shipping fee, and still have some in stock Can't wait to try it on my orchids

My orchid would never bloom
Comment from : Rose Ellis

I am testing it with 2 sick phalaenopsis and for the moments the roots are struggling to adapt, they got full of moulds, I still have to learn because I am really interested in this method
Comment from : Julia Torrubia

How are your phrags doing in S/H? I have one and I am trying to decide what to do with it Love your videos Dany! Thanks again
Comment from : Patrick Urbanski

Just starting to transfer over to S/H Some of my orchids have spikes/sheaths on them, so don't want to mess with them until they're done brWhat do you use to put the holes in the pots?
Comment from : Renee Jolley

I ve got all the stuffs needed for a semi hydroponic experiment and I also have a slipper orchid "angle hair" for it but I am scared shitless now I love this orchid, it is not a big specimen but this is the only way that it can get hydration if I am going away( I like to grow orchid on tree otherwise) Any tips?
Comment from : k lee

I've been doing semihydro for 6 months now and am thrilled with the results
Comment from : Sheryl Maiorano

I have 90 of my orchids in S/H Phals, paph, oncidiums, miltoniopsis, cattleyas all loving it Den nobiles look a bit sad but I should have waited to repot until spring I have a lot of algae in my LED light orchids but it's the only negative and I can live with it I have some large cattleyas that have good root systems so I'm leaving them out of S/H for now until they are ready for division I find most orchids don't lose that many roots unless they're very old but cattleyas do lose them - but the new roots are totally fine
Comment from : Alan M

I have about 60 Orchids and now have some 35 in semi-hydro This suits my climate and the setup I have created to look after all of them Easy if I travel too I have to have all but mounted ones in semi-hydro by the end of the year My other reason for changing over was the lack of reasonably priced and avaiablility of Bark chip
Comment from : Wilairat26a Toady

I'm doing semi hydro, not only with orchids but experimenting with houseplants in s/h using growstones mix this small stones Most seem to love the switch over I was a bit concerned about my Epidendrum nocturnum, but the roots are looking great and it is putting out a new shoot so it's adapted I used the s/h principle in growing out many seedlings using 3 oz plastic bath cups with 3 holes above the bottom, and using perlite as a medium, and it worked very well with all but 1 species orchid flask
Comment from : john mason

I have several in semi-hydro cattleyas, phals, & oncidiums At first I didn't like the algae but since learning that algae can be beneficial to the plants I leave it I do flush the pots once a month with clear water I love being able to see when the orchids need to be watered no guessing In the winter some people use heating pads but so far mine have been ok
Comment from : Barb Townsend

is this the same as using small pebbles/ gravel/rocks?? and can you show how to move a new plant from bark media to this inert media please as i did put some of my fwc phals in leca and the roots did start to die and wondering if the middle was too wet as you indicated
Comment from : Christina Bickley

I use it for some of my babies--I also use red volcanic rocks which I like as well seems to hole moisture longer and more evenly Have you tried it? I found I had to break it up into fairly small pieces
Comment from : ned flinn

Hi, Danny! Wanted to respond to your poll, but any option corresponded :) I have put some orchids resently to Leca and for the moment am observing and waiting for the results Love this idea because of your videos, but cannot tell yet if it is working :)
Comment from : Tricotons dans les Landes

Lol, you talk kinda fast, but eventually I adapted and understood! Leca beads are great, I don't need to water as much anymore!!!
Comment from : Y Liberal

Hey Danny! I used Seramis for a while and realized it's not working well for my home environment Recently I moved back to organic (good old orchiata bark) my orchids seems to like it I have one precious orchid seedling (Vanda Coerulea Supra f5) that is very sad looking and it is my first orchid that I test for semi-hydroponic I have nothing to loose and it seems like your orchids love it Also I found spidermites on my Catasetums I mostly use Persimillis mites that work GREAT but they are out of stock 😱 I guess I'll follow your paraffin oil method Thank you for your great video!
Comment from : Mor H

I have only just started getting a few orchids Two of my first three died Of course, I didn't know what was wrong at the time Thanks to you, now I do Glass, non-draining containers, yeah, who thought that up? I'll see if I can find some of your leca locally and repot this weekend Otherwise, I'll have to order from Amazon Oh, well Thanks for all your wonderful information I've only just started following you and your videos are great Very informative :)
Comment from : Teresa

I'd like to see how you water them Surely you don't take them all to the sink once or twice a week Please demonstrate XOXO
Comment from : Raylene Evans

I'm trying it my dendrobium lost a few roots but I'm gonna water more and see if I can keep it going
Comment from : Cassy Rhodes

I tried it on a phal and it didn't go well All of my orchids are currently in moss or bark chips I may try SH one day again, you have been amazing about explaining the benefits of it Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them
Comment from : Banana

I use semi-hydro, but with clay pots and just let water stand in a dish for 2-3 days In another 2-3 days, depending on the type of orchid, I water again Thanks for your videos I learn a lot Ps Lerning what not to do is also very helpful 😬
Comment from : Elaine Trostinsky

In process of repotting my cymbidiums Need to find large black pots without holes otherwise I have to have an external reservoir
Comment from : John Mcneill

how about your coelogyne usitana bloom?
Comment from : Manuels Plants

I'm just beginning my journey in orchids Your channel is full of information I'm in Canada my climate is more like yours from Romania I am still wondering if semi-hydro is good here I'm thinking I may try it with one orchid, the next one I buy Thanks for all of your ideas
Comment from : Yvonne Wilkes

Can you share any information of gnats in semi hydro?
Comment from : Kyra Aycart

I'm using a mixture of growstones and hydroton pellets So far so good, I'm just not liking the algae in the pots
Comment from : deanna czernon

Hey danny! I am thinking of transferring two of my phals into SH Any advise; They are in bark now

I tried semi hydro with a phal and she didn't care for it so I switched her back!
