DANGEROUS OVERGROWN MONSTER REPOT - Grammatophyllum Leopard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มี.ค. 2019
- This was one of the most dangerous repots I had ever done. Luckily no one was injured in the process...including me! This orchid came to me overgrown and I was afraid to tackle the repot mission...so I avoided it for as long as I could and it really made the matter even worse. Don't wait so late, this is something that you have to be diligent about and take appropriate actions immediately.

You want to contain the Grammatophyllum? YOU CAN'T CONTAIN THE BAD GRAMMA JAMMA!!!
I bought a Grammatophyllum Scriptum and it's beastly! I dread repotting it!
CONGRATULATIONS on your beast of a Grammatophyllum! Enjoy and wishing you the best on its next repot! 😝😝😝
That was quite a workout ! Glad that all went well. I like to watch these challenging re-pots. Good luck with it. Happy growing 👍🏼
Thanks so much...and it was quite a workout even more than I let on...my hands and arms are still cramping from the ordeal! LOL! I am glad to be able to do it though because now she looks so much better and happier too! I am wishing you great successes in all of your orchid adventures and wishing you a happy blooming year!!! :)
Wow, she’s an absolute beauty and I’m sure she’ll reward you with lots of beautiful leopard blooms in her new home. As always, thank you for sharing and showing us new creative ways to display our beloved chids. Happy orchiding 😊
Thank you so much for such kind and positive feedback. I really do appreciate it! And I am highly anticipating more growth and beauty from this orchid than ever before...at least I hope! I am keeping my fingers crossed that she loves her new home and does extremely well! Thank you for joining me on my orchid adventures and please stay tuned for more! It's going to be an exciting blooming year! :)
Great video Maria! That orchid looks like it was made for that birdcage....May you be rewarded with lots of growth and blooms from her! Betsy
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ...and it does seem like she was meant to be in the birdcage..she really looks like she belongs. I don't think I could've chosen a better container for her....and thank you for the kind wishes I do appreciate it! Big hugs and much love to you my dear and I am wishing you the best blooming season ever! HAPPY GROWING!
Wow what a root system. You had me worried there for a few lol. That is just crazy roots. Beautiful
Really looks awsome, great job Maria 👏🌱
Thanks so much!!! She seems so much happier and I am hoping that she loves her new home! :)
Well you got her in the bird cage BUT she is never coming out . LMAO.. I love it..
A way to loosen the roots is by soaking the roots in a bucket of water for a couple of days the roots will relax and expand allowing you to pull them apart.
Clive Davies Great suggestion and although I don't believe they would've came loose because the root ball was so tightly grown together, I wish I would've gave it a shot. I would've preferred to have the roots more separated if possible. This is something I definately will keep in mind if I run across this issue again. Thanks for the suggestion.
They can be a beasty of an orchid and it looks fab in the birdcage. Happy growing.
SHARON SHORT' Orchids and Garden YES INDEED THEY CAN BE QUITE BEASTLY MONSTERS!!! I too am happy with the repotting and bird caging results. I do hope she does better and loves her new home. 😊
Love it! Just got one and I have to repot.
Every time I watch your videos I just feel crushed in memories of Israel because there was this orchid park and you were allowed to take any orchid home.. now that I'm in Antarctica I can't find any orchids... ;(
Maxim Yanovski I'm glad that my videos can give you memories of the past...but let the memories be happy ones full of joy and beauty. These are magnificent and life transforming plants...so regardless to if they are just memories let them continue to amaze you with thier wondrous love of life and tremendous power of beautifying our world inside and out. I hope you will visit often to create new memories together! HAPPY GROWING! 🤗
@@PictureMaria1 Happy growing for you too!!! .:-D
Maria you are the best great job
Awwwwww, thanks so much! I think you are the best!!! HAPPY GROWING and hoping you will visit again soon! :)
Great Job Maria
She will be very happy and will give you espectacular blooms
Thanks so much and I appreciate your vote of confidence! Last year she retaliated and refused to bloom for me. So I am hoping that this year she shows some appreciation for the hard work and effort I put in and pays me back with some awesome blooming love!!! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING DEAR FRIEND! :)
wow! that was a big job, a few years down the road it's going to be crazy to get it out of there! excellent video
Denise's Orchid Paradise It was one of the most intense repotting job that's for darn sure!!! LOL!!! ...and yes indeed I do see yet another prison break for this gal in the future...but this time it will consist of using a wire cutter and a certain hubby dear to aid in the process...I'm sure it will be far more easier and way less dangerous for the orchid and for myself. LOL! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!!! :)
Woww..u did it as always, thought i was kidding when i said u da orchid doc? Nope!! U da doc chile.nuff luv 👧.
LOL!!! Too funny!!! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
Very nice video. I liked the idea.
This video was quite suspenseful!!! Even I broke out a sweat while gripping my mug. Hahahaha. Well done. Cheers and love from Palawan Philippines. 😍💖
LOL! RIGHT!!! I was just too impatient for my hubby to come home to help me! It was such a risky job and in the back of my mind I kept thinking "I hope I don't injury the orchid...and even more so, I hope I don't injury myself!". LOL! I was so relieved that everything turned out well and no one was harmed in the process! WHEEEEEEEEEEW! Thanks so much for watching dear friend...I am so glad that you were there for me! :) I am hoping all is well and I am wishing you the absolute best and hoping that you have a fabulous blooming year! :) Cheers and love to you as well from me...all the way to you in the PI! Mabuhay!
Uy Philippines
Definitely perfect new home 🏡 for her 🌺
Made me nervous with your knife 😲
Thanks so much! I really love her new home too and I am hoping that she loves it as well...and yes it was a bit scary for me to do this repotting...that's why it had taken me so long. I didn't really know how I was going to attack the problem...and yes I know I should've waited for the hubby to help...but I was just to impatient. I am so relieved everything turned out well and that no one was harmed in the process. Thanks for watching dear friend and I am wishing you the absolute best! PS Didn't you get a King George Splendiferous? If so...curious to know how it is doing and if has bloomed for you yet?
You are so cute!! I feel it. Cutting away pots.🤣🤣
Linda Nehls HA HA HA!!! I'm glad you can feel my cuteness and thank you so much for joining me on my orchid adventures! Wishing you blooming success in your orchid adventures! HAPPY GROWING MY DEAR! :)

Awesome job beautiful orchid
Thanks so much...and I am so relieved to finally have done it! I finally faced another fear! LOL! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)
Pretty scary for min or two! Lol Maria you need too invest into a good set of hand pruners, great for cutting thick pots. What a Monster Orchid, the roots are amazing!! 😍
Good choice for a pot for this orchid. It should look Fantastic hanging. Well done.
Pat Sfreund Thank you so much and I am pleased with the decision and the outcome. Now I am hoping that the gram will be pleased as well. :)
Of course, its you who else can dare to do that job.excellent video.thanks for sharing.
Orchid and Kitties RIGHT!!! HA HA HA!!! I'm just happy I didn't get injured in my excitement or it would've been a video on how not to do a repot to avoid being rushed to the E.R.!!! LOL! 😁😋😁
How would water this plant in a that new container?
I got a plant like that and a container similar to that but not sure how to water it and how often.
Not much videos on caring for this plant
Very pretty..I was holding my breath hoping you didn't break any part of the orchid
Hai, i just bought this plant too bad the leaves has turn yellow but the bulb is green, its flowering, do u think it still can live, plz help
Can u just imagine the fight on ur hands when u need to repot in the future?
How do water this plant and how often? Help
Fantástic girl love ❤️ it

What a monster very pretty love the bird cage
Tammy Swauger Thank you. She is my sweet monster! LOL! I am hoping that she loves her new home so much that she thanks me with some blooming love!!! NOW THAT WOULD BE SWEEEEEEEET! 😁😁😁
Por que “ aprisionou” uma planta tão linda e de crescimento tão exuberante e espetacular dentro de um arranjo de gaiola? Pra tirar de um vaso de plástico já foi tão complicado. Amei a planta, mas essa planta merecia um espaço livre para suas belas hastes florais.
10:26 that pour orchid I think it was better in the old pot plus how are you going to get it out when it starts to grow its new growth
It's health was beginning to fade in that old pot and it was no longer giving me blooms because of it. I do believe that I did what was best for it and do not have any regrets. I will not wait for this orchid to become overgrown before I repot and the way that I will be doing the repot is by cutting the wires of the cage to be able to remove her again. It will be a simple and easier process. P.S. even though I had to bend her leaves to get them through...it looked more painful than what it was. She didn't have any injuries or permanent scars from it and as you seen at the end the leaves were just fine and looking as they did before.
I'm guessing you never plan on repotting again? She's going to eat that birdcage and keep on going. There is a specimen sized on at a local orchid nursery and all you can see is plant and the chain that suspends it, I was told there is a wire basket encased in the mass that the chain is attached to.
Michael McCarthy Yes, I am aware that the grams are considered one of the largest growing orchids, weighing tons and capable of bringing entire trees down, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to keep it in an empty swimming pool! LOL! Eventually it will have to be cut out of this cage...but next time my hubby will be doing the breaking out...less dangerous for me and the orchid that way. LOL!
wisu i had a part of it they are not to get here in the Netherlands very restricted in plant imports commercially
Hi. Grammatophyllums need to be that tight up and have that many aerial roots to bloom. Those "new growths" probably are new spikes.
Aleibis Diaz Hello and thanks for watching...and yes they can survive tightly bound but I wouldn't necessarily say they need to. Keep in mind in thier natural habitat they are epiphytes and naturally found growing in trees with the freedom to grow as they will. In this particular case it was way over grown with no room at all left to grow and it was so severely pot bound that there was no air circulation which posed as a threat to it developing root rot and other infections. It did not give me any spikes at all last year and the bulbs were shriveling pretty badly so I did also notice a great decline in its health as well. I do believe that what I did here was for the best interest of this orchid and I do not have any regrets. Thanks for watching and sharing your input. Wishing you the absolute best in your growing adventures! :)
@@PictureMaria1 Thanks for your beautiful answer Maria. I do believe you did the best as well since It was growing out of the pot. Just letting now why that many roots. Hopping for an update of your oldest plants and experiments, including Catasetums. Blessings :D
Thank you for understanding and for your information as well. I will be giving an update soon on some of my orchid collection and some new methods I have put in place...and also I have done an updated catasetum video already. I will look for it and post.
Nice prisoner! I wish you will do not need repot it never ever anymore😄👏😃😃
THANK YOU! ...and I wish that I would not have to repot her ever again...but unfortunately that will not be the case as this orchid is known to get unbelievably massive!! But I am hoping that it will take some time before I'll have to do it again. Thanks for watching and I am hoping that you will visit again soon! HAPPY GROWING! :)
Thanks for the video Maria. You almost poked me in the eye there but all is well! Your garden and energy are both so inspiring 😊
Wait why did you say the orchid was not as healthy as it was I think the plant looked healthy
I stated that there was a decline in its health and condition which I was referring to the state of the severely wrinkled bulbs lack of bulb growth and blooms last year of which I forgot to mention. Remember when it comes to orchids that looks can also be deceiving...just because an orchid looks healthy does not always mean that it is. There are many other signs that we must when it comes to determining if the orchid is growing properly and is at its fullest potential.
@@PictureMaria1 ok then but how many vandas do you have and is your Vanda tree still heathy after that storm but really what will you do when it out grows the cage
And yes I am nosey ^_^ oh and the wrinkles in the bulbs I just thought that it was watering day or something
@@checkplease7735 I am not sure how many vandas I have I do believe it is less than a hundred now ...probably about 60 or more. I did sadly lose some over the years from the cold winters...and the tree has permanent scars where the trunk was bending and twisting so much that it started cracking the bark. So you do see the bark coming loose in some areas. She also creaks whenever the wind blows. Recently she was severely cut back and I was worried about her but she has continued to grow and bloom for me.
Шикарная посадка 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 я бы ещё кору поверх мхом обложила , идеально не сфагнум , а зелёный лесной
Спасибо ... и у меня очень мало орхидей с живым мхом ... но я могу попробовать вырастить больше с ними Это дает прекрасный и естественный эффект средам для выращивания орхидей. Спасибо за предложение и счастливого роста!
MY Orchid Adventures у меня лесной мох очень недолговечен, портится даже от слабых удобрений, дождевой воды обеспечить ему не могу, живу в квартире, но у Вас я думаю он может хорошо прижиться, особенно на садовых статуях, на которые Вы недавно орхидеи высаживали , они выглядят довольно влажными и достаточно пористыми + дождей у Вас достаточно для его хорошего роста, у нас в Украине очень много такого лесного красивого мха , я живу в городе Запорожье, он есть у нас на острове Хортица, но пересылка очень дорогая и собирать его запрещено, в Бразилии корни папоротника собирать запрещено, но мой друг Эльбертон там живет и собирает 🤷🏼♀️а я иногда собираю у себя лесной мох 😉 но я иногда вижу такой живой мох в свободной продаже в интернете , я уверена что он прекрасно дополнит Ваши орхидейные композиции 👌🏻 хорошего Вам настроения и прекрасного роста Вашим орхидеям)
Okay, now I know why I haven't gotten one yet... Lol
Want some Coelogyne pandurata?
Todd's Tropicals LOL!!! I actually got this already overgrown and kept overlooking the issue because I was dreading this hideous repot. Last year it retaliated and refused to bloom for me...so this year I gave in to its demand. I believe it will do so much better now that it has been set free. You should get at least one the bloom potential on these are tremendous...and yes the pandurata has been on my list for a while ever since I sadly lost the one that I had. That would be so awesome! My husband and I are planning on coming to Tampa and perhaps we can set up a play date/gift exchange... perhaps even film an episode...who knows...just a thought.
