I have a ludisia dragon fire I bought, and it arrived with a broken stem! It was already so so tiny with only 3 dime sized leaves, so I propped it up with a toothpick hoping it would repair itself. The bottom rotted, so took a cutting above the rot and put it in water, which also rotted. I had one leaf and a tiny nub of a node left, put it in moss, and hoped for the best. It's been like 4-5 months now and it's grown me a tiny new leaf! Anyone reading this, don't give up on your plants!! They are pretty strong little things.
Love the combination of the bright jewel orchid and the different green and pink fitonia. I will try to make such a planter because this combination just seems so joyful. Thanks Hannah for your ideas and style sense.
I love this video it was so insightful. I received the Biorb Air 60 and will be planting my rare and unique Jewel orchids. Also some different variations of fittonia. Frankie Fittonia has been a little finicky so will be interesting to see how it turns out. Using Dragon stone and my own mix like yourself. I mix reptibark that retains moisture to keep the substrate at the right moisture. Your suggestion about also spot watering was also helpful. I''d like to see how to propogate the pups from the mother plant jewel orchid. I have never tried propogating them in water and would like to give it a try. Ill be adding miniature orchids to some dragonstone and see how it goes.
I was looking and was sure that I had watched this and then I remembered the mention of the little snails but what the heck im watching it again 😆. Love your biorb and its colourful array of plants and all of the updates from the initial set up to present have been awesome. Its great to see the work that goes into keeping it as beautiful as you do and being that you are definitely a perfectionist its not surprising to see you fussing over it and giving it a haircut. This video inspired me to give my bottle garden a trim back when I first watched it as it was wanting to burst out of the top and yep its grown back quite a lot since 😅. Almost time for another trim, I'll give it a month in the weather we are having before it needs another chop. Great video as per usual and thank you for the great update. 🙂
I had 3 lighting bolt jewel orchids last month. This month I have 11 stems, for 11 jewel orchids. (each base stem grew multiple new stems after I cut off the top half)
Love the jewel orchids, I really wanna get them and try growing them, but not in a terrarium setup. Have you tried that Hannah? How do they do with a little less humidity outside the terrarium? if you have tried Thanks :)
Sophie I was growing one in moss in a little jar for a while and he was fine... Eventually I put him into the biOrb AIR though as it’s less work for me ha. You Have to make sure you keep the moss slightly moist and don’t let it dry out 🌿
@@carpediem.9 If you're not picky about the species, get Ludisia discolor, it's really resistant for mistakes. I've got one from almost ten years and it grows like a weed and blooms every winter. It grows in normal potting medium mixed up with the orchid bark chips. Really simple to grow.
Terrapon of Lechuza Pon its great! I have many in this substrat, ONLY used condicionants from soil( micorrizas and húmicos ácids) um Portugal. And turfa ou cocoflakes in soul.
Great it’s the first video I see of jewel orchid prop other than ludisia! Do you know if it’s the same thing for anoectochilus formosanus? Thank you for your video!
No I don’t think so as the soil has been in there for ages… They must’ve come in on a plant as teeny tiny babies. I haven’t seen any for a while now luckily
I love Fittonias but they die on me... I even buy them to replace the dead ones as they come in different shades and colors...i put them in an open terrarium environment, keep them moist but i just use regular potting mix , probably not enough drainage...they seem to live for a few months then suddenly withered away, maybe i over water too...
What a lovely set up, your orb is 👌🏼💖💖💖 I'm curious to know how you fertilise in there? Do the plants have the same need for fertiliser and is it different from when plants grow in soil compared to sphagnum?
Really great video. Will Fittonia and the Jewel Orchide grow in the same substrate? I.e. to cater for both, a very aerated mix of orchid bark, perlite, and some potting medium?
m88au Thank you! Yes they would grow happily in the same potting medium although the Fittonia prefers a bit more moisture than the jewel orchids. If you are keeping them in a terrarium for example you could just spot water the individual plants in regards to their water requirements
Are You sure You aren’t related to Mother Nature? I haven’t seen anything that Amazing yet on TH-cam.👏🏾 I haven’t seen any big pots of Fittonias yet but all the ones I’ve attempted to grow seem to die. They need much moisture and I can’t get it right. BUT My question is the Mecodes Petola in glass. I heard they like high humidity? I plan on putting some in a Bonboniere with moss, stones, and charcoal soil mix. Should I use the lid to enclose them or leave it open for air? It’s always 60% humidity in My Apt. Is that enough? Also do Mecodes like their leaves wet? I paused the video so that I could write this and not miss any of the video. Thanks for so much info, and Your Videos are so Professional and Straight with no Chaser. Oh, and Happy New Year.✌🏿
Thanks very much! I’ll have to reply quickly as I’m on my lunch break… the macodes will be fine with open top if you have 60 percent humidity. It’s only around 50% humidity in my house and mine are doing ok :) As far as I know they aren’t too keen on getting their leaves wet 🌿
I said “WOW so pretty” in real life as soon as I saw! :) Beautiful!! I’m so sad my jewel orchid leaves keep turning red and falling off as if they are wilting?
I've seen these terrariums in pictures, but I've been wondering how this works? How to water? I had a Macodes Petola, just in a pot. But it died, it started rotting. Maybe I watered it too much. So I'm wondering how to keep these plants in the terrarium without it forming fungus? After all there is no airflow it seems to me.
Forget about it. I just saw a video on how to decorate one of these from the beginning. These things are super expensive. 😂 What about the cheaper terrariums? I guess they don't have the "air flow"

Stunning terrarium! I've never seen that little begonia before, what a cutie
how soothing it is to watch your videos enjoying the beautiful plants, thank you
Yolanda Rates you’re welcome 😊🌿💚🌴🌱

Wow your plants have grown so big and those plants propagating means you'll have more new plants soon 💚🌿
That bioORB is a very nice addition to the decor, so pretty.
Lindas tus plantas !!!
Top view is gorgeous!!!
What's that full pink plants ? So pretty
looks really beautiful 🧡💜

what a nice collection of plants. I was wondering what that pink leaves plant on the left? tia
thank you! such a great, educational video. Easy to follow for us newbies. Just the info I was looking for!
Beautiful colors
Reminds me of my terrarium full of aquarium plants nice 🌱❤
I grow amphioxus now as a houseplants but still its nice to see Macodes propagation, my dream plants but i have 1 with different genes
That terrarium is sweet 👍🏻
So beautiful 😍🧿❣️
I had 3 lighting bolt jewel orchids last month. This month I have 11 stems, for 11 jewel orchids. (each base stem grew multiple new stems after I cut off the top half)
WRO that’s awesome! 💚🌿

I don't know if it's the light or their actual color, but the pink on these fittonias is gorgeous
This is super amazingg!!! I love it so much :)

hello hanna i love love your videos i look them evry time . i love the orchids jewel and the fittonia but i have nt in my country.
mimosa mediteraneene I ordered mine from the Netherlands 🌿💚
so beautiful
Wow, that is a nice set up! Do your mama macodes petola start growing back from where you took the cutting?
What are the slender leaves with red spots?
what is the very small leafed fittonia that is bright hot pink?
so much growth, so beautiful. Totally weird that you have snails in there, did they come in through the soil?
No I don’t think so as the soil has been in there for ages… They must’ve come in on a plant as teeny tiny babies. I haven’t seen any for a while now luckily

When can we expect another garden video? I find your garden especially inspiring.
TERESA PULLAN thanks I’ll be doing another one very soon 🌴🌺💚☀️

how often do you spray them water in the big clear bowl? and do you completely close off the top or you leave it open. Im a newbie, thank you so much!

Nice video! I have a anoectochilus chapaensis that broke, do you know if this method works? Thanks and subbed😁
Hope all your biorb plants recover soon!
What planting medium do you use? Can you show me the tutorial from the beginning? thank.s
I have a video dedicated to my soil mix. If you search ‘soil mix’ on my channel it should pop up
Hello, do you have a set up video for this biorb?
I think the snail comes with the moss
Why did you cut off the flower of the jewel orchid?
I just bought one and it has a flower stem and I’m debating if I should cut it or not
After cutting the plant then puts more energy into the beautiful ornamental leaves than the flower
Where can I purchase a bioOrb?
I said “WOW so pretty” in real life as soon as I saw! :) Beautiful!! I’m so sad my jewel orchid leaves keep turning red and falling off as if they are wilting?
That might because they get too much light!
Thanks 🙏
