What's Left of Derek's Orchids

The numbers have dropped but are now reasonably 'steady' so those that remain should grow on ok. Let's take a look as I water them.
As always, thanks for watching.

[@annadaccione332]

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Thanks - and you're welcome.

On a humid, wet day, if I hold off on watering my plants which aren’t exposed to the rain, I see a spurt in growth especially the roots. It’s visible growth. I guess it is true what u said about holding the feed.

[@wilairat26atoady]

Considering the state they where in when you got them you should be proud of having to be able to get these to the condition they are now.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Thanks.

Only 107f/42c for a high here in sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵 USA. Be careful of what you wish. Sending lots of love 💖. Take care of yourself and each other 😷

Hi Roger thanks for dropping by........when will the rains stop, I'm so very very sick of it 😁(really)

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

We're heading for 30C by the end of the week but it won't last into the weekend.

It seems there might be some confusion regarding the name "Oncidiums Emeris Jones." The search results do not provide specific information about a hybrid or species by this exact name. However, there is a possibility of a mix-up with the name "Oncidium jonesianum," which is a known species.

I haven't heard of withholding fertilizer to promote root growth, but I have heard of reducing water in general (which would reduce fertilizer as well). For the same reason: stressing the plant to grow more roots to find necessary resources to thrive instead of survive. 💖🌞🌵😷

As a newbie in orchids , I believe i save my oncidium (unwilling)in that way , now that you mention that . Got an Shrry Baby , all nice , beautiful . After 1 week start to have white bugs on it ( mites I think ) and I decide to have a closer look . My big surprise was not a single root in the pot , all rotted or eaten . I stake it to a bed of random moss with few bits of bark from Amazon , and spray the media almost daily with plain water . In couples of weeks I had many roots starting to emerge . Now I’ve got 2 beautiful orchids from 1 ,each with 2-3 new growths

Thanks.

Please give us a link to previous videos on these plants. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Searching my vids for the word Derek should find them.

[@suzisaintjames]

@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger too bad there's not a playlist. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@naomimittell4961]

What a difference from when you first got them!

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

They have taken a very long time to recover and there were a lot of losses on the way.

[@mamabear9389]

Interesting idea about not feeding to try and get roots to grow. I do have one with few roots but a little afraid to try this! Maybe I should try just feeding less often.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

As I said, I have no evidence that this works.
