Helping an orchid with few roots | Hobby Bobby
On February 20, 2020, I purchased a Zygonisia (Zns) Snow Bird 'Kaila' HCC/AOS at Longwood Gardens' orchid sale. It was an absolute zoo at the sale as the orchids were picked over in minutes. After digging through the remains on the carts, I saw this little one hidden amongst a few Phalaenopsis that remained. It was laying on its side in the pot, and the root system was very limited...so sad. However, I did a quick search to see what the flowers looked like, and I was hooked!!! So, I parted with $20 to bring her home and give her special treatment to try to nurse her back to health. In this video, I show the potting mix technique that I used, and how I made pot clips (aka rhyzome clips) to keep the orchid stable while she (hopefully) reestablishes a solid root system.

Phalaenopsis Yin's Black Eagle | Hobby Bobby
มุมมอง 7845 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the first bloom from my Phal Yin's Black Eagle. The initial bud blasted after purchase, but it's been in my orchid tent for the last few months. In that controlled environment, the temperatures have been 75-79F during the days and 68-69F at night. The humidity is maintained in the 75-82% range, and it gets 13 hours of full spectrum LED light each day. As is often the case with orchids, ...
Controlling humidity in an orchid tent | Hobby Bobby
มุมมอง 3335 ปีที่แล้ว
Using an Inkbird controller and a single disc fogger, I'm now able to keep the humidity levels above 80% in my orchid grow tent. Without the fogger, it would drop into the 60-65% range by the end of the day...which isn't bad, but I wanted higher, more constant levels. This video shows the controller and fogger at work in my orchid tent.

It has been about two months since I started growing orchids in my Gorilla Grow Tent with Advanced LED's ARC Series 2.0 lighting.

I've added many more orchids and a couple pieces of equipment since the last video. Feel free to post any questions that you have, and I hope you enj...

Fixing remote control issue with Casablanca fan | Hobby Bobby

Here is a diversion from my normal videos. I was able to fix something, today, so I decided to make a video in case others had the same issue. :) My Casablanca Aris fan would not respond to the wall mounted remote control unit. I was afraid that I needed a new receiver, but I was able to easily fix the issue. This quick video outlines the steps taken to get the fan working in about five minutes.

What I've learned after 2 weeks of operating an orchid tent | Hobby Bobby
มุมมอง 5875 ปีที่แล้ว
I've had my orchids growing in their tent under LED lighting for about two weeks, now, and I've learned some lessons. First of all, things are going wonderfully! All orchids that have been in there for a week are showing LOTS of new growth, but I want to make conditions even better. I recently added a new piece of equipment (Inkbird ITC-608T) which can monitor and control both temperature & hum...

My LED tent for growing orchids is up and running.

Brassavola Jimminey Cricket 'Super Bug' HCC/AOS | Hobby Bobby
มุมมอง 5425 ปีที่แล้ว
This Brassavola orchid was HUGE, so I divided it, and two of the division's were mounted onto cork bark on May 6, 2019. They'll be in my orchid grow tent to get settled, and they look awesome. I also retained a potted division which is as large as my original plant. NOTE: The copper wire was removed and replaced with plastic within 24 hours since I was told that it could harm the plant.
When do you cut that Phalaenopsis spike?? | Hobby Bobby
มุมมอง 205 ปีที่แล้ว
Many people automatically cut the flower spike off once the flowers drop, but that isn't, necessarily, required. In this video, I show a Phalaenopsis orchid which is on its second set of flowers from the same spike...and more are to come.
