Very interesting. Thanks 😊

Keep an outer pot with moistened moss around it, for root cooling effects, and don’t overwater it. (Which is how I lost mine.😢). The roots like to be damp and cool.

that new plant u thought was a keiki isnt a keiki, its same type of growth as oncidiums and such. technically you can make them into sperate plants as long as u have roots on it

That bowl looks perfect Ina. I'm sure your plants will do well in such a set up. I guess a little slow release fertiliser in your pot can't do any harm. I look forward to an update to see how it's growing.

Very cute setup

Eu também moro em Londres e estou cultivando essas plantas mas as quatro que eu comprei de homebase, elas chegaram cheias de caramujos, então eu decidi replanta-lâs.. tanto as keikeizinhas quanto as orchideas mesmas perderam as raízes que foram comidas pelos caramujos. Todas estão totalmente desidratadas e enrugadas... sem raízes... é ano difícil pra minhas den nobiles 😢

Well explained Ina. I've tried growing from a seed pod of a cattleya. Total failure of course, but fun to try it. I have a lot of crucifix orchids in the garden that constantly get pollinated and produce pods but I've never seen any new plants sprouting up nearby.

Very nice Hoya collection. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video! I started cross pollinating late last year and flasked some orchids this year. Definitely a lot of trial and error. I finally got protocorm formation with the last batch, but sadly yesterday I found contamination in the flasks. Back to square one ha

Congratulations on the good results!

I struggled so much with my Dendrobium Phalaenopsis orchids in the past as a new grower, but this year, I've managed to keep them happy with some more growing experience under my belt. No matter how much I've shifted towards species orchids, I will always adore their blooms.

Thank you this is really helpful!!! 😊

So do you submeger the soil?or just the cup?how does the water get inthe soil??

Hello! Will this kind of high moisture method also work with a full water culture or do I need sphagnum moss?

I have this dendrobium - it’s just pushing out a new spike. When I got it it had thrip damage but I sprayed it and it’s been ok since🤞

I'm happy to have found your videoes and are really enjoying them. I noticed that the phals that you are referring to as complex hybrids are called Primary hybrids. That is when two species are crossed. I want to say hello from British Columbia,Canada. PS Your grocery store noid phals are called complex phalaenopsis.

Anymore information on this white mould or fungus you mentioned? I’ve been having some of the same issues as you with Cattleyas and that white stuff can you show us more about it and in detail with treatment please.

Hi Ina. It's certainly been a tough journey with your cattleyas but I'm happy that you've finally nailed it. In my past orchid growing life I was able to grow catts well in my greenhouse but now I'm growing some orchids indoors and some outdoors, the best light is outdoors and of course there's not enough space for all the bright light loving plants. As with you I suspect that the grow lights I bought are not bright enough because I'm just not getting blooms ndoors and it's very frustrating. I'm glad you're getting all those lovely cattleya blooms for us to enjoy, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this interesting video.

Yay to your sheath! I feel your pain! I’m in the Midwest US (Zone 6) and have the same issues! Luckily I put my cattleyas outside in the summer, but they try to give up on life in winter! The do like my Milsbo with grow lights.

Your orchid is really root bound. I’m pretty sure that you need a bigger pot for that.

Hi Ina, I'm still learning more about phals every time I watch a video, even though I grow mine in leca, the same thing applies with roots rotting down in the pot. Sometimes the smallest bit of information can help a lot. Thanks for sharing this report, it's been worth learning about your experience.

Jesus loves you❤

I will try this thank u! Did it work for u?

It's not supposed to go into a bright window sill. That's too much light.

Hi Ina, what a beautiful orchid! Even white flowers can be stunning and the yellow lip just makes it look so much more eye catching. You’ve done well to conquer your Cattleyas and I congratulate you. Thanks for sharing this beauty, it truly is gorgeous.

It is so rewarding to see your orchid bloom. Especially when you've been waiting for a few years! My Catt should bloom for the first time next year. Today, my Yushon Snow Pearl bloomed. 🤗

Wow!!

H8 Ina. The question of fertiliser is often difficult to answer. I’m finding now that because I have most of my orchids in leca using the semi hydro, self watering system, that maybe the fertiliser for those orchids is not really suitable for the orchids I have in bark and hanging under the patio roof. I’ve taken the easy way out and use slow release fertiliser for the outdoor plants. As these pots don’t have saucers or outer pots, whatever I pour on them just runs through anyway, so I’ll stick with the pellets. Thanks for sharing an interesting session of Q&A.

How often?

I can’t seem to keep these alive when it comes to winter.

Hi Ina. Here’s another orchid that was on my Wishlist for such a long time and I procrastinated about it for a few years until I felt it was too late to buy one and possibly get it blooming some time soon. Thanks so much for sharing the beginning of what I hope will be a successful growing on of this wonderful orchid.

I love Neofinetias! So sad you lost some after all the hard work. Have you considered self watering with leca for NEOs? For the longest time I was afraid to get one because I hear they were hard to flower. I have 4 now and I just had one in spike a few weeks ago! Love Neo hybrids too… I may have 6 hybrids 🙈they’re sooo tiny and addicting!

Hi Ina. I’m so happy to have watched this video although I don’t personally own any of the orchids mentioned. You’re doing so well to grow them indoors or maybe that’s where they are happiest. Even in my days of owning a very large collection they were pretty much just the common types. I’ve often been tempted to try an Elizabeth Ann Buckleberry but am not buying any more plants….can’t even squeeze in a seedling at present. Thanks for showing some very interesting orchids, enjoy the journey with them.

For your bulbophylums: Do you keep them moister and in shallower pots? When I did both, my Daisy Chain finally flowered.

Hi Ina, I was wondering if you will repot the 2 Phals you bought now? If not when will you repot them? Thanks! 🩷

Porque orquídea sapatinho fica com folhas marrom e cai?

@One orchid a day, wow, I am in Love with Novelty Phalaenopsis! Yours are so beautiful!!! Enjoy your day.

Thanks for showing off your lovely collection. Could you do a video showing how to repot &/ care of Tolumias please?

Beautiful blooms, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful blooms. I love the way the spikes on the Phal no id, at 17:10, cascade down. And the Tolumnia so pretty!🤩

Need to be report it

That is a beautiful orchid! What kind of fertilizer do you use and how often are you using it? Do you find it needs less watering during the winter? Thank you!!

you did well, the purple martin is a great phal, very vigorous and constantly in bloom once it gets going. I got myself a paph purpuratum from them half a year ago which is doing really well. In fact it was 2 in one pot and they are both doing really well. Then I got myself a Cattleya Tainan Gold beginning of the year which cost me £18 incuding the delivery! That was a bargain. If you look at spiceotics they have it in stock at the moment too but its £28 without delivery. Every plant from spiceotics has had bugs that I have ordered from them but every single plant I have ordered from the dark orchid has had bugs too. Just something we have to put up with I guess. Just don't ignore that fact... Hope they do well for you.

Hi Ina, I’m a bit selective about watching unboxing videos but glad I watched this one because the plants look so healthy and the spike on one is a bonus. Receiving quality plants gives you confidence to go back for more. I’ve found a small nursery not too far from me that I keep going back to for my Phals. Prices are excellent and plants are a good size for the price. Thanks for sharing your unboxing with us. Enjoy your new babies!

They look really good plants - I’ll take a look as I’m also in the UK. I have a very small Phalaenopsis Stuartiana which came from spicesotic plants. It had three leaves but the bottom one fell off. The roots are healthy though not many but now it is throwing out a flower spike. Do you think I should remove it and hope it grows a bit now it’s ( a bit) warmer?

Great advice. Thank you!!😊

Just beautiful! Every time I think about picking one up, they just seem too expensive to me, so I don’t have any right now.
