Greetings from Kentucky in the US Howard. I actually purchased a Pleurothallis dressleri that arrived in the post today. I ordered it from an orchid grower in Florida. I think I got a good deal on the price as it was $65.00 US dollars. Others I looked at were around $119.00 US dollars. Mine looks slightly smaller than yours. Like yours mine is mounted on cork bark with moss on it. I re-watched this video and I'm excited to try to get this mico-mini orchid to flower. Thanks for the inspiration. James

i ve begun recently watching your videos mr Howard and i really enjoy them. i am learning a lot and i am inspired too

Awesome Howard. I really like your presentations. I enjoy it alot

I wish I have such a nice private green house.

Thank you so much for this video. I’m late to the party only finding out about box caterpillars this week when a relative showed me what was happening to my 8 box balls and picked out caterpillars to show me. I was horrified. I’ve immediately started picking them out by hand while I wait for delivery of the product you mention. It should be delivered today. If you don’t mind, I have two questions (1) am I too late in the year to spray? It’s September (2024) now but I can see the caterpillars wriggling around inside the plants and (2) should I take a dustpan and brush and gently sweep off the dead brown box leaves before spraying. Thank you so much, and for your brilliantly enlightening video.

I love pleione! My climate is far too hot for me to try growing any though. I image they would bake in my 105f+ summers.

Every video on this channel is a treasure. I own only two smaller orchids from a supermarket among my ither plants, but it doesn't matter one bit

My DJ keeps producing hand-sized maple-like leaves coming from brown fuzzey protuberances. Never any flowers tho :(

Fascinating videos. How do you come about your orchids? Asking out of mild curiosity.

The introduction was fun! I am learning a lot from your videos. Do you use a fan in your conservatory?

They are not selling the biological control anymore.

I have recently acquired this orchid, about a week ago, it is a very young plant, thank goodness it is a very healthy specimen so I have hope in growing it successfully. Your orchid is truly magnificent!! Hopefully I can achieve the same results, alas, patience and perseverance will be the order of the day!! I am going to try to repot the plant today and then hopefully it will grow successfully and become a beautiful plant like yours. Thank you for sharing, I love the greenhouse, small, compact and it does the job for what is needed. Have a super day.

Love the greenhouse

Nice one Howard. I placed my Bifrenaria harisonii in a wood basket hope it takes of like yours. We did not see you at the NEC but we will look forward to next time . David

Starting to watch from scratch. I do believe that you need a TV show!! I am so impressed with your videos!

So happy to have found your channel!

Howard any tricks or ideas to encourage the Pleurothallis cypripedioides to bloom? I imported mine over two years ago and it’s grown into nice size plant. About twice as big as the specimen you have. It had flower spikes and still does they’re brown and I think dead but no flowers! 😭 I’ve tried cooler temps more light/less light because I thought maybe it was just too warm. My conditions aren’t very warm to begin with except in summer. I’m stumped. Thank youuuu!

You should also get Jewel Orchids. They have beautiful leaves that look like laced with golden thunderbolts.

Thanks Howard, I found this most interesting. I have just one pot of this outside Orchid. Now I know how to look after them. Your Orchid house is just wonderful. Very interesting.

Hi Howard, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is no UK certification for Xentari, so you are prohibited to purchase or apply it in this country. I'm surprised you filmed yourself applying it.

I’m very interested in Aroids such as anthurium and monsteras, but your videos are inspiring me too look into orchids! Just found your channel and I love the quality, beautiful specimens. Thank you Howard!

That is a beautiful colour on your P. honghenensis!

I ❤ your videos, and your way of going about explaining things and variety you manage to grow in rainy olde England! I can only dream!

Howard, this is David (and John) who moved from the Cambridge orchid soc in 2022. I’ve just come across your channel. Love it! I’m sitting here in Cornwall looking at my piece of cattleya canhamiana flowering now. It’s a lovely hybrid and I agree about the scent, stunning.

Hi, love your channel. Very informative. Today i wanted to ask you about your hangers. I am looking at them and wondering if you make them yourself or maybe purchase them. If you make them yourself, it would be interesting if you could share this information. I'm from Venezuela, have a gian dendrobium and need to hang it from the ceiling. I have a wire basket but want to transplant it like you do -- in a separate pot and then place it in the hanging wire basket. But i need to make the wire hanger!

I enjoyed this video very much. You present orchids very well, describe well also. Thank you for explaining everything about miniature orchids. New Subscriber .

I discovered your channel last night. What a wonderful thing! Admire your knowledge, how you care for your plants and how you share your experiences. Wonderful camera work and facilitating abilities. The absolute best on orchid care in UTube! Thank you.

I want a division of that prosthechea radiata please

Hi Howard - Ilove your video - thank you for taking the time to share your orchids with us. I am the webmaster for the Austin, TX orchid society and I was wondering if you would have any objections to linking to your videos on our website? I would love to share them with others in the society

When you say it is a calm day, I find it always calming whenever I watch your videos - I love how I learn from you, I enjoy your orchids and at same time, I feel calm and always feel awesome. Thank you.

Wonderful video, as usual!

I live down south. NC any tips on phalenopsis moth orchids

Thank you once again Mr Howard. Love your videos and orchids. Very beautifully grown and so well taken care of. It's always a joy to watch your videos, so much inspiration! And always waiting for the next one. But i do re-visit your past videos again and again.

Thanks so much for sharing, Howard! I always look forward to your videos. Full of knowledge and beautiful orchids. Best!

Howard, your orchids are exquisite! Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Austin, Texas 😊

💚🫶💚

I love Dendrobiums and phals- but you are right the phals are a struggle in the UK. Fabulous plants!

Thank you for your videos, Howard. They are such a treat 😊!

Your phalaenopsis corningiana is absolutely stunning! I’ve always thought it was beautiful in pictures but I had no idea just how beautiful it was. Also love the honghenensis. I recently got a stobartiana hybrid and the flowers are very similar I see. Mine smells something like sweet tart candies. Wonderful. It also blooms sort of in a pendant clump. Quite different and pretty. And really a vigorous cross. stobartiana x Venus

I always look forward to your videos, Howard. Your orchids are just stunning. Thanks so much for sharing them and your knowledge with us.

Thank you Howard ! just an amazing orchid collection. As always thank you for sharing your knowledge, very much appreciated.

Your orchid collection is fabulous Howard as always.

Thanks Howard, as good as ever !

Beautiful plants, wow! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for showing us your marvellous orchids ❤

Good luck with your cross ❤

Dear Howard may you give me advices on pleurothallis pterophora she's my most loved miniature and possibly my preferred orchid ever I've just recently been gifted by a keiki from Kopf nursery which has been the only place where I found the species in Europe after Englad quit the continent. I would love to ask you if the collector which gave you the divisions actually was growing the species in pot cause the little keiki i have now is in spagh in a very small pot but my question is which may be best cultured to a specimen size if you knows how your donor was growing it tonthe size to give you those huge divisions and if you lately mounted them cause u are blessed by your conservatory cool perfect weather for her ❤ 🌹 last year I lost 5 mounts I did bought from the same nursery cause the heat was possibly too warm for them in the summer and now I'm keeping my little baby in a refrigerated room where I am too cause outside it's soooo hot in central Italy we cannot cope with it 😂❤

Another great watch Howard! You are a serious inspiration for myself!

Hi Howard I have been able to smell the p.corningiana time ago when I had in my collection and have been amazed by the kind of perfume it emitted difficult to describe fruity but powerful instead phalaenopsis sumatrana that has a similar flower actually smells musky I do believe you have stobartiana and honghenesis on the same mount the green one being stobartiana, your violacea coerulea is so beautiful right now it's becoming much more poular the indigo form but I actually prefer the natural form that you have but I find difficult to find the natural form lately and I had to buy the Norton cross indigo despite I really prefer the delicacy of the natural violacea coerulea btw do you have any schillerianas they are gorgeous and rose fragrant if you like that scent ❤

What is hanging from your plant in that packet?
