(As far as Miss Orchid Girl knowing the folks at rePotme... she had an arrangement with them to put her videos on their website... for a price certainly. I haven't seen those links lately, so likely the deal is off. It's all about $$$, not any particular expertise. )

Oh absolutely! I had seen so much good advice on this thread that I did not mention what I do for cultivation advice that Zoren had asked about. I went straight to talking about videos.
I agree with some of the other commenters here that some of the U tube videos seem to be more entertaining and for fun (rather than expert advice). I love to watch bonsai repotting videos. They’re fun to watch and I do see those guys using some pretty cool tools and techniques that I’ve never heard of before.
I love your photos of your orchids on your website Roberta, and I have found many of your answers here very clear and helpful.
I actually still go to my AOS “Orchid Pests and Diseases” books first whenever I come across a problem. Lol. Then I come here when I need more specific advice from experienced growers.
