😍HI Andrea 💐 she really is! Better in the sun, but then most orchids look better when the sun shines 😬 thank you so much for taking a moment to also watch this video! You are so appreciated 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Meine Mona 💐 🤭😅🤣 I had to laugh in between takes for this audio... cracking myself up over here 😂 I think the neighbors were probably looking at each other and wondering, what is going on over there? 😆 thank YOU for being here, and for your support throughout the serious AND the silly! Hope you are having a wonderful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Did my reply not reach you? I don't want to bombard you with repeat responses, but if YT deleted my reply, please let me know and I will try to repeat what I said 🫣🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍HI!! 💐 it is so good to see you! I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 thank you so much for being here 🙏🏼 🦈👍🏼🤭❤️🌸

😍Hello, lovely lady 💐 hope you are doing well, and that you woke up to a wonderful day 🫶🏼 thank you so much for taking a moment out of your morning to see 'Sharky' come unto his / her own. This orchid is going gaga, for the first time since being sawed off the aphyllum mount! Happy!! 🥳🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️ have a beautiful rest of your day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Denise 😍💐 hope you are already having a wonderful day, lovely lady 🫶🏼 been swimming with guppies on the patio, not the sharks, but dang.... I had a waterfall feature overnight, the leaf debris shows the flow of water 😵‍💫🏊🏼‍♀️🦈🏊🏼‍♀️🦈 on my phone, so please forgive any typos! 🫣 thank you so much for being here! Have a fabYOUlous rest of your day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😂🤣 Hi Debbiiieeeeee!!! 😆 mea culpa!! Happened to me as well... its one heck of a song that makes me go delulu, I thought I would share the experience 😂 sorrreeeee 😘😉 hope you are already having a great day and well.... 🦈🦈 you're welcome! 😂😂🫶🏼❤️🌸

HI Andrea 😍💐 please know that, lava rock is not the reason for black mould. High humidity is and mould of any kind can manifest itself no matter the media. Now, it does not happen as often when using lava rock compared to using bark, but if there is any form of decay in combination with high humidity, mould can happen. Older Phalaenopsis leaves will drop, especially when the orchid has been in active growth and absorbed the lower leaves. That is normal, so what I am guessing from what you are describing, is, your lower older leaves were in the process of being absorbed, this causes the cell structures to either dry out, or as they decline, the humidity was high and the moisture was absorbed by the drying off of the older leaves, like a sponge. Reduce your watering, or reduce your humidity. Your orchids should be watered when the lava rock dries out ... depending on your conditions, as the season changes, keep an eye out on how the lava rock dries out. For the coming weeks, you may need to just give your orchids a drizzle of water at the surface of the pot only, or if you prefer, then set them in a saucer to absorb the water and leave them to dry out. Please use Hydrogen Peroxide 3% with a cotton swab and dab the stem of that orchid with it to avoid more of the spores starting a bigger problem. After you have done that, wait 5 minutes and go in with a dry tissue to wipe the remaining Hydrogen Peroxide off ensuring that the area dries out faster. And, please keep me posted if you have any further concerns. I hope that, otherwise you are having a beautiful day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids thank you so much for being so prompt. I will do what you say and let you know.

You are welcome!! And, my dad always said, no news is good news! So, no pressure if you are busy and all is going well 😘

😍Meine Mona 💐 guten Tag schöne Frau! I have the same happen with zygos.. the grow just sticks out like a sore thumb and definitely needs training. If the growth is already advanced, the corrective efforts may be too late, but it is definitely worth doing because at least there could be some correction in the way it will end up maturing with the new light influence 👍🏼 thank YOU so much for being here, and for your kind comment / feedback! I so appreciate you! I say it! I MEAN it! Wishing you the most wonderful rest of your day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍HI! 💐 thank you so much for adding your perception in the comments. I appreciate another point of view... now I feel bad for dissing the orchids that have a 2 week bloom duration 😅😆🤭 and thank you so much for watching! I hope you are doing well and already having a great day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids Im very busy with filming and editing content along side a busy summer yarding season ahead all the way to Christmas

🤪 always something to do! When I had a garden, this was a very busy time of year for me as well... I hope that you are enjoying the process though 🫶🏼

🦤🦅😍 Wingman! Hi!! Responding from my phone, so if there are any typos, please forgive me 😵‍💫 I love the miniature orchids. Just their growths and then the chubby roots and pseudobulbs, when they pull through or just grow well, there is such a sense of tenacity with these little ones which I thoroughly enjoy experiencing! My weekend through to this morning was ⛈️⛈️🌊🌊🚣🏼‍♂️🚣🏼‍♂️ 🏊🏼‍♀️🏊🏼‍♀️there is some sun on the patio atm, but its a small tease before the next onslaught! Have some shorts to post from someone, once I get my power back. I don't want to waste data while not being able to use wifi 😣 the past 4 days have also had the dogs go delulu and getting into things they should NOT be doing.. the only one that has had a great time is Xyliano, because he was out more than he was in. Might as well... while all things were shut down to avoid major flooding indoors, he was out of his cage. Mop and bucket were my main tools.... damp bed because of the humidity... its been horrendous. BUT!!!! My daughter came home safe every single day and THAT, to me, was the blessing of all blessings throughout these past days 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼 going back to do some cleaning... footprints and mud... not a good thing to be spreading around 🫣 wishing you a much much better day than your weekend... no more so so ... more of woohoo!! YAY!! Much love to you, my friend!! Thank you so much for watching 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Welcome home, beautiful 💐 thank you for your feedback and for always being so supportive! I hope you had a wonderful day and are now in a position of reclining and relaxing 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@NinjaOrchids Thanks Nina! Finally signing off for the day 😁! Take care 🙂

Hi Donna 😍💐 I appreciate you watching and am glad that this reminder will serve it's purpose 🫶🏼 now more hurricanes! Rebuking anymore storms so that everyone affected has time to recover and rebuild 🙏🏼 I hope you are doing well and able to recover from your experience 🥹😘 wishing you a relaxing evening, after a hopefully lovely day befitting a lovely lady 🥰🌸

@@NinjaOrchids Thank you! This poor Marylander was holding her breath when the house started vibrating with Milton. I haven't been in Florida long. The worst thing Maryland ever threw at me was loud thunderstorms! 😜

🦤🦅😍 heeeyyyy, Wingman! 🫶🏼 thank you! Mucho! I hope that you and Fluff are having a great start to the new week ❤️🌸

Hi Linda 😍💐 it is always so nice to see you! I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 appreciate you taking a moment to let me know that this was helpful... just a reminder from what we already know, but can easily slip our minds 'in the moment'! I hope your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸

🌸🥷🏼 Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐 good evening from a rainy blustery Spain... my orchids are getting the flush of the year 😅 you are right about turning the orchids, eve under lights! Not all get light directly from above, unless the lights are full panel lights. I appreciate you taking me up on the attached link, thank YOU so much for that double support and the feedback 🫶🏼 I hope you are having a great start to the new week 🌸🥷🏼Cariño San 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍HI!! 🌤️💐 thank you so much for your kind comment and the encouraging support! I hope you are having a wonderful day 🫶🏼❤️

🌸🥷🏼 Samurai Nina San, Hi 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐 coming to an AI App near you 'soon'! I am certain that some developer is already working on a device with that feature and it is just a matter of time when they bring out the first generation. I am glad that I am mentioning as many notes of a fragrance, that I can detect, in my videos, because it might just be possible one day to tap the different smells on a screen to get the experience. Maybe not 100% but close enough. Imagine that? If it ever does become reality... you heard it here first 😅 highly recommend that you opt out if watching bulbophyllum videos and there is a decent fragrance description 😂 thank you so much for watching 🌸🥷🏼 Lovely Lady, San! Finally, this orchid is in the process of growing 2nd growth after the first one for this season is almost fully grown. I wonder if there will be enough time for it to grow to a decent size 🤞🏼 I hope that your week is already off to a great start! 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Joe 😍💐 the short lived bloom duration of the aphyllum, definitely makes me stop and sit right by the orchid to look at them. That is where I take my breaks during the days that it is bearable outside. As during that time, it is usually super windy on the patio because the winter and spring temps make the weather super volatile, as one wrestles with the other... one not wanting to let go, and the other is saying... 'my turn!' Pretty much what is happening on the patio right now. It is blowing an absolute gale out there with a wall of water, so... the power may go out at any minute 😵‍💫 keep me updated on your japonicus and your vanilla orchids' bloom duration. Especially when the japonicus blooms again because then we need to see if it doesn't last longer. It should, but time will tell and I would love to know! 😊 thank YOU so much for commenting on the short lived bloom topic... it put a smile on my face when I read your comment, because BINGO! 😃 stay tuned for part 2, which if all goes well, I will be able to post at the end of this week! I so appreciate you and the support you so kindly provide here! Thank you, Joe! 🙏🏼 wishing you a great start to the new week 🫶🏼❤️🌸

BeBe 😍, HI! 💐 I am so happy that this simple solution is also working out for you 🙌🏼 that is awesome!! Thank you for letting me know 🫶🏼 and thank you for all your kindness, everything you do for me and the orchids! I am so so grateful, lovely lady 🙏🏼🥹 wishing you the most beautiful day to start out your new week 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Cheryl 😍💐 unfortunately I cannot link the video directly here. YT does not make links available in shorts. The title of the video is 'How to Repot Orchids with Creeping Rhizomes | Valuable Tips & Considerations Tutorial ' and if you go to 'Videos' on the homepage of my channel, and scroll to August 17th, that is when the full tutorial was posted. Should you have any problems finding the video, let me know in a comment under any long form video, and I will post the direct link in my reply. Thank you so much for being here 🫶🏼 wishing you a wonderful start to the new week, Cheryl ❤️🌸

🌸🥷🏼Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐 😘 such a treat to have 2 comments from you to start off my week 🙏🏼🥰 definitely nothing wrong with what you are doing! Unless of course a pot is so bone dry that you can see the orchid is having a tough time, but I am sure you would take care of that situation straight away 😃 thank you so much for watching 🌸🥷🏼 Cariño San! I hope the digesting was as much a treat as the steaks were 🫶🏼❤️🌸

🌸🥷🏼 Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐 good morning, Sunshine❤️ from Spain where the patio is getting hammered with rain! I am happy that our area is getting drenched like this... however, my power may go off at any time, that is the downside. Most of the orchids are outside, out of their masks, and getting nailed / flushed. I had flooded pots this morning and if anyone was looking at a figure in the wee hours of the morning, fussing around with plants while also getting soaking wet, then .... I am ready for that straight jacket 😂 a stark contrast to your grilling, which I bet turned out delicious!! BBQ for one, that is what I call treating yourself for yourself. It doesn't always have to be for others. 😘 I have one night of 53ºF this week, and that is when the angraecoids will have a blanky. Its too soon to bring them inside 🥹 wishing you the most wonderful start to your new week 🌸🥷🏼Cariño San! Thank you 🙏🏼 thank you so so much for the love, which I receive ❤️ and send your way as well, and thank YOU so much for your immeasurable support 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Guten Morgen, meine Mona! 💐 I am going to take your comment to stay inspired about some of the ones that I was not too 'keen' on in this video! 😅 I hope that you wake up to a wonderful Mona Tag! It is absolutely pouring down with rain here, so I may be without power soon. I apologize for the shorter reply... I need to make sure that I get other things done should I loose power 🙏🏼 thank YOU so much for watching and for all your uplifting support 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Liz, hi! 😍💐 hope you had a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼 sometimes, putting repotting an orchid off, helps 😅 While I do not like to have to split an orchid to make it work, needs must because pot sizes can only crease by so much before it gets ridiculous AND, then they are too deep. So far, she is doing well. The winter will be the test... as per 😅 thank you so much for being here 🫶🏼 I am grateful for your support ❤️🌸

😍Denise!! Hey girl, hey 🥰 💐 speaking of space, the winter configuration is going to be super challenging... I hope that I can make it work to be able to carry it outside and not make a watery mess when I do, (slips are hard to avoid even without water, for me🤪) OR, if I keep it indoors with the best light that I can provide, that it does not end up in a cold draft situation 🫣 vamos a ver! I hope you had a fabYOUlous day, lovely lady 🫶🏼 thank you so so much for your incredible support ❤️🌸

Winter is definitely going to be tricky. I also have issues with slips and falls, so I feel that on a deep level! Here's hoping both us and the orchids get through winter unscathed! Have a lovely evening ❤

😍Good morning, beautiful!💐 wishing you a wonderful, stress free start to your new week 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids 💖

HI 😍💐 ideally, you would want a tree branch... but, we are not all in the fortunate position of being able to grow these beauties outdoors all year round. Love the fact that the light training is doing it's thing 👍🏼the fun will be over soon, and how I configure this for indoors is yet something I have to come to terms with! I hope that you are now having a wonderful spring 🥰 thank you so much for watching and for your kind, much needed support🫶🏼❤️🌸

@NinjaOrchids hey, I have a Walkeryana type orchid that grows like that. I was wandering what I was going to do about a repott cos she us claiming out the pot. I did not even consider a planter... I went ahead and got sleeper wood....I just need a pot large enough to put that slab upright and mount the orchid at the bottom with its growing side going upwards... but I love your idea. Weldone 😊💡I would've never thought of it. Yes, it's summer mow. But weather is still upside down. I'm not complaining..we saving water 😊 I love your videos. I don't always comment, but I do Always give you a thumbs up 👍 Tomorrow is back to work. Enjoy your week. Looking forward to your next video 😁

ooohhh, that is innovative! Getting the orchid to grow up the mount while still in the pot! good thinking 👍🏼 wishing you a great start to the new week 🫶🏼 it is absolutely chucking it down outside, so I was outside in the wee hours of the morning, removing masks from pots that were completely flooded. Glad there was no accident because it was still pitch black while I was doing that 😵‍💫😅 no need for a shower after that. I was totally drenched.... well, maybe a hot one 🤣 have a great day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

🦤🦅😍 Heeeluuurrrr, Wingman! I trust that you are having a cozy and relaxing Sunday 🫶🏼 Creepers need a tree branch, no doubt! 😅 I am referring to orchids that have a creeping rhizome and not the other kind of creeper that hangs out on a tree branch 🫣 😂 wishing you a wonderful rest of your day, my friend 🫶🏼 thank you so much for being here 🥹❤️🌸

​@@NinjaOrchids That's what I was referring to as well, like my Dinema polybulbon, it wants to ramble over the whole back of the case!! And Bulbophyllum lasciochilum, Epidendrum porpax.... 😅

Vigorous little creepers 😂

HI, lovely lady! 😍 💐I can fully understand that flooring, and anything that would accumulate water droplets, ... it just wont do in the long term. And while we want aesthetics to reign supreme with our orchids, sometimes for a temporary solution we have to forfeit the aesthetics so as to cover the needs of the orchids AND protect our indoors. I have 2 suggestions, without knowing anything about your indoor distribution... bear with me if what I propose is not going to cut it for you, but perhaps it can brainstorm an intermediate solution: How about some of the plastic storage totes positioned under your vandas, to catch the drip? They could also have the soaking water in them and you just raise the vandas up above them to let them drip dry? or, a garbage bag around the roots and you mist into the garbage bag. Leaving a little knick in the corner at the bottom to allow the water to drain slowly. This would also raise the humidity for the roots, if indoor heating causes the humidity to drop. Or, a combination of both... the totes at the bottom to catch the drip and half a garbage bag to catch the dripping roots between the orchid and the windowsill, with the end of the garbage bag directed toward a tote that will catch the run off so as not to let it land on the floor. 🤔 if garbage bags are too tacky, how about a long stretch of clear plastic sheet that painters use? Which can be tacked on to the glass panes and easily cleaned / removed next year. I don't know if this essay gave you anything to work with. I hope there is a nugget that you can use and make work for the coming months 🙏🏼 thank you so much for being here! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids you are so brilliant and I thank you so much! I was just talking to my husband about the issue when I saw the notification and read this to him. He totally agreed with your suggestions! So we are going to go with the plastic totes ideas. Thank you as usual for sharing your brilliance!

👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼woohoo!! Happy to be of help 😃🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️👍🏼

Hi! 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank you so much for watching and your kind comment / feedback! I appreciate you letting me know and the support that comes with your time 🫶🏼 I loved orchid shopping! Sourcing the ones I wanted, researching what they need, the disappointment if I felt that I could not make it happen for the ones that I was looking at and then the thrill of seeing that my conditions might just be good enough with others. Its like a treasure hunt... and then, you wait! Until the day of arrival 😅 and that cycle... continues, until... 'we need an annex'!! 🤪 so much fun and I hope that you get excellent quality plants! Happy growing 👍🏼 wishing you a fabYOUlous day and once again, welcome! 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids I have recently reconnected with my love of orchids again… after going through some traumatic events in my life 😕 The beauty and resilience of orchids made me realise we can learn a lot of them 😃 I love how we can connect across the globe and meet other orchid enthusiasts 🌏 I’m located in Victoria, Australia 👋

Good afternoon!! 😍I hope your Monday is treating your well 🫶🏼 I got back into orchids again because of personal trauma that, if I did not have the orchids, would have driven me to very dark places, so I hear you! Know that, while I do not know what your traumatic events entail, I am so so sorry that you had to experience them, and have to deal with the after effects, to this day. At least, mentally, I have never fully recovered and it is the orchids that keep me somewhat 'sane'. They do help... so, I am glad that you 'found' the drive to get back to a hobby that combines beauty with resilience. 😘 know that, if you ever need to 'talk' not just orchids, I am here for you 🙏🏼🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Cheryl 😍💐 I mist them, yes, but there is a little more to it as to the timing and how much they can handle without rotting any of the new growths that keikis have going on. If you would like to watch the keiki growth / care video with a Q&A from viewers answered, here is the link th-cam.com/video/O2HBhPrtmWg/w-d-xo.html I hope that in suggesting this video, your question will be answered more comprehensively than I can type out 🤗 let me know if there is anything that the suggested video does not cover 🫶🏼 really appreciate you watching this evergreen video. Have yourself a wonderful Sunday 🫶🏼❤️🌸

🫠🥰 so much fun!! Thank you ❤️

Hi Lyn 😍💐 hey girl, hey!! Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed this video, I appreciate your feedback 🫶🏼 when I was editing the exile part, I was thinking of you and your crumenatum, thinking 'I hope I hope she comments and adds another orchid to the short lived blooms list' and here you are! Thank YOU so so much for that 🥰 also, thank you for watching 🫶🏼 have yourself a fabYOUlous Sunday ❤️🌸

😍HI Edward 💐 thank you so so much! I appreciate you taking time out of your weekend to watch and leave a comment. Your support here is so appreciated. I am ever so grateful! Hope your Sunday is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! Thank you for adding these 2 additional orchids into the comments! I love the moschatum.... but as I have a 3 day in the exile, I think that is enough short lived! And at leat the exile will now give me 2 flushes within 12 months, so 😅 the moschatum blooms are bigger though 🥹 I hope you wake up to a peaceful blue sky Sunday, my friend! Thank you so much for watching 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Denise, hi 😍💐 good morning, beautiful! I hope your Sunday is already treating you right 🫶🏼 the Christa Erdmann is really something else, for sure and yes, she does create an appetite because of her sunny side up fried egg 😅 thank you so so much for watching, Denise! Have the most beautiful rest of your day.... key word being REST! 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@NinjaOrchids Thank you Nina! Hope you're having a great day 😀

⛈️⛈️🌬️🌬️😵‍💫 working against 'when will the fuse fail' 😅 as long as I have power, I will be trying to get things done until the weekend... it is a nightmare outside, so any minute now! BUT, many orchids are getting one heck of a flush, so there is that! 🤪 Plan B? Clean the winter holding space 🫣🤭

@NinjaOrchids Oh dear. Hopefully your power will hold up!

😍Laura, hi 💐 sooooo.... what is the name of that orchid? She sounds very interesting and elusive to be here today and gone tomorrow! I am really curious 😃 she sounds like quite the over achiever with that spike as well. 1meter with over 100 blooms? You have tapped into my curiosity. I tried to google based on the characteristics, but I only came up with oncidiums, which I doubt very much is what you are describing. 😬 I wanna know, I wanna know 😅 thank you for the feedback on this video and thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I hope you are already having a great weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids Haha good name for it. Can't believe I forgot to add the name so I made an edit. Pteroceras longicalcareum- Hope you're well!

@@NinjaOrchids love the enthusiasm haha! Yes that's how I got when I saw it and it looks like it's got tiny little matchsticks for a lip. So cute and was so obscure. It's somehow alive but barely. Came with it's roots rotted in wet moss and the person had buried the flower spikes in the medium thinking they were roots. But it's got one little nub and quit dropping leaves so maybe one day I can show you its blooms! I keep it in a cork topped tall vase and a bed of wet live moss living at the bottom with it hanging from the under inside side of the cork at the top. :P

😵‍💫😍🫣 I immediately went to check it out! Say WHAT??? That is crazy! Why so shy for such darling blooms? Goodness me! There is hope in the fact that it is a sequential bloomer, extending the bloom period a little longer, but dang! So so interesting! Thank you, for coming back to provide the name 😃 I am doing ok. Hanging in there... at any time I can loose power, so it is a bit stressful, but doing the best I can 🫠 thank you for your kindness! The set up you describe, sounds perfect and YES!! I look forward to see your blooms some day 👍🏼 the name cracks me up because it has the name LONG in it. I suppose they are referring to the spike, as opposed to the bloom duration 😆 actually, it translates to Long - legged 👍🏼 little fun fact about your orchid! 😘

😂😂

😍FFF💐 awwwhhh!!! Thank you, meine liebe Freundin, for also watching this video 🙏🏼 so appreciate your time on your Saturday! Having the new growths, the ones that were tiny at the time, on the nobile almost mature now, they cover a lot of damage and add to the visual of green instead of brown. Phew! 😬the wind?? I was shocked! That was really something and yes, when I took the footage for the video, I pretty much had a similar strength wind, which showed exactly what happened on 'that' day while it was getting hotter and hotter and drier and drier. Live and learn... the mantra of growing orchids 🙄 those 5 new growths were little at that time, thankfully, but the whole orchid did not look so bad, until...! It would be nice if she were to bloom for us again someday 🤪 enjoy a relaxing evening, vecina favorita! 🫶🏼🐾🐾❤️🌸

😍FFF 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐. good evening, meine liebe Freundin! From a dark and gloomy Spain 🥲 meh! Here we go! I cannot believe how dark it is when the sun isn't out. Even Xyliano wanted his cover on by 6pm. We have not even changed the clocks yet. 😵‍💫 some orchids with short lived blooms are worth growing, simply because they do interesting things throughout the season, it never gets boring 😃 I am sorry that I forgot to add your name under the bletillas! I was a bit stressed when editing, because of the weather conditions... I was trying not to rush and make mistakes because the power could have gone at any moment, but, in the end, I made the mistake of not adding your name. I am so sorry 😔 hope you had a beautiful day, amiga mia! Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback on the idea 🫶🏼❤️🫶🏼🌸

Very!

😍Debbiiieeee 💐 hi! it came with the tag stating that it will do well next to a pond, that the roots will find their way into water if they want to. Pretty amazing 😃 I hope that Spring 2025 will give me the opportunity to correct my statement here, when it comes to the cupped blooms, as well as, perhaps get them to last longer. 🤞🏼 also, I am interested to see where the new tubers are going to pop up, because what is happening now, its growing outwards. Will it have the 'intelligence' to know that going back into the centre is the smartest thing to do because there is plenty of space there? So many questions... waiting is the hardest part 😆 thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I hope you are having a great day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Hi Rufiat 💐 thank you ever so much for watching! I appreciate your support 🙏🏼 hope you are having a great weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Hi Andrea 💐long lasting blooms feels as though we at least, get a little something out of our months and months of care, for sure! Sometimes, having an orchid with interesting growth habit can compensate for the lack of bloom duration. Things really are very expensive now, indeed! It is good to be selective 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I hope your day was beautiful and wish you a relaxing evening 🫶🏼❤️🌸
