Just be sure to evaluate any advice from YouTube videos or other single-source information on the 'net with regard to your own conditions. And verify based on the experience of other growers before you cut anything or apply any treatment... there's lots of good information here on the Orchid Board, and you gain the benefit of a wide range of experience from multiple people.
(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.
