We need a heart. A heart. A heart. A heart. A heart. Welcome back to Orkets 4 dummies. This is your foul pal Dorrell speaking. And in this video, I am going to share with you some of my characters on how to get rid of black mode on your phallanopsis orchid. So stay tuned, foul pal. Or some of the things that you would need when it comes to getting that black mode off of your phallanopsis orchid. Well, first of all, just to clarify, just to make sure that we are talking about the same thing, look foul pal. You see all of this black deadness that was from another leaf? All of that has to come off because those fungus nets will live for it. You see how the stem of it is black? It should not be black foul pals. The natural color should be like a tannish color. It's okay if it's a little dark, but when you see all of this blackness, that's the indication that you have a mode outbreak. And a mode outbreak is going to prohibit this phallanopsis and the production of any new root grow. As you know, the springtime is shortly to come and that's when most phallanopsis orchids begin to get into their vegetative state. So some of the things that we need, I have a toothbrush right here. I have 3% hydrogen peroxide. I have a couple of pair of tweezers to get all the way in there and get all of that dead matter off. First of all, some of the care tips that I want to share with you is going to be first washing your hands with some antibacterial soap because the phallanopsis orchids are very sensitive when it comes to any kind of perfumes, lotions, hand sanitizers. That's something that is going to disturb them or disturb their pH level. So that's something that you don't want to do, okay, phallanopsis. That changing the media, you might have some of the old media residue that's left on. That is why we need the toothbrush phallanopsis, okay. But before I use the toothbrush, I am going to spray her with some hydrogen peroxide. I placed her in the water before this video as a precaution to help loosen up all of this old media. So as you can see phallanopsis is fizzing, okay. So I am going to use my toothbrush. I am going to dip it in this water and I am going to gently start to try to wash away or brush away all of the old media phallanopsis. You want to take your time to do that, okay. Now phallanopsis, I am not going to sit in here and be with you out for no 23rd and minute video, okay. This is not a repotting video, honey. This is not a repotting video. I am showing you how to clean this mold and I am trying to be very careful, okay, phallanopsis. You don't want to damage the roots like my phallanopsis. Also, I am able to see this dead root right here. This is going to be one of the roots that I want to cut off all the way phallanopsis. And these shears have been cleaned with alcohol. This part is still hard, so I am going to just cut that little part. So sorry blue, sorry blue. And so those are the only roots that I really saw that was kind of bad. Can you see it, phallanopsis? Are you able to see what I am seeing, phallanopsis? Stay with me, baby. Stay with me. So yes, you just going to have to get in here, honey. Get in here and go to work. Go to work. And I got the tweezers because you can see all of this dead matter phallanopsis. This is what those fungus knits are. They feed off of all of this right here, baby. So I am going to use these tweezers that I use specifically for this and pull all of that dead matter off, okay, phallanopsis. So these are just some of the carotips that I think some people are skipping over when we do our repotting because what's going to happen is those knits are going to come and start attacking all of this mess and then you're going to have an infestation. And like I said before, honey, orc is for dummies and we do not do the bugs. So you want to just get your phallanopsis as clean as she can because I'm putting her in something that I want her to successfully grow in at least for a year. So I just want to make sure she's on a good start. Another care tip is moving your orc is around. You want to make sure that you have the perfect place to place them before you start doing your repotting and buy a new orc is. Make sure you have a place to place them before because I lost a few orc is from moving them around just way too much phallanopsis, just way too much, okay. And as you can see, all of that old media has started to fias. I have some viewers that's trying to do water culture and they are finding that once they place their, I'm sorry, they're finding that once they place their roots in the water for two days, they come back and the water has all kinds of fuzzy material in it. That's because you didn't do this step right here baby, okay. And that's why we are doing it before you place it in the new media because just as how it does in water, it will do also when you're changing your media. Now I don't know if you can see or not, but phallanopsis is already starting to, oh lord they don't look better on the camera any, they don't look better on the camera any, but in real life it is starting to line up a little bit phallanopsis, okay. So I'm not going to give you a 10 minute video, you can see what you have to do. This is a process that has to be repeated. Once I get finished getting all of this stuff off of the orchid or as much as I can, I'm going to leave her in some new fresh water, okay, for an hour and then I'm going to let her dry out overnight before I place her into the new media phallanops. Also you want to let the bark soak for 24 hours or however long that you can do because that's what my Auntie Carolyn says on Jacqueline orchids. But alright phallanopsis, I thank you so much for tuning in. I hope I was able to solve your guys problems. I want you to like, comment and subscribe honey.
