My dear, you have a very beautiful house/orchid garden. It is such an inspiration, to watch all your beautiful and interesting videos. Many blessings to you and your lovely home, from Puerto Rico
Hello Pamella, I have been extremely busy, trying to balance all that I do. I will try to be a bit more regular. It ain't easy though. Thanks for the love. 🥂💖👌
Hello there Sandra, awww!! I missed you too. There are so many competing priorities and off course you know we have to prioritize. I'm hoping to be a bit more consistent. It ain't easy... but I will try. Thank you so much for the love. Blessings!!
I think your favourite orchids are Vandas😊🙏💞You do a great job to look after them. I have only a few orchids, and mainly dendrobiums and cattleya because of the hot summers here. They grow best. I enjoyed watching and your Vandas are so beautiful and make me happy🥰
Hello friend. I am not even sure what my favorite orchids are, as I love them all. 😄. I really try my best to take care of them. It's not always easy though, but I try. This summer was really hot and a lot of persons lost quite a bit of their orchids. We are now approaching the cooler months and so let's hope we can revive our orchids. Thank you for stopping by. I really appreciate the interaction. One love from Jamaica.🥂🌞💖
The blooms are still awesome even though you have a few damaged. The new sections are coming in great. Faithful bed has grown in size. Just awesome.. Glad to see u again.
Hello there Sharon, yes I am grateful that I still have blooms. Yes that new section is shaping up nicely. I am really glad you love what you see. It's good to be back and I hope I will be able to keep it up. One love friend. Thanks as always for cheering me on. Blessings!!
Oh i love that garden u have mam so many orchids u have different kinds of orchids have a brigth colors fabolous garden like the ammon tree great idea Thank u so much
Hello Fay, thank you so much. It's good to be back. I've been around the world and back. 😀.. Yes I totally agree with you, we must work together to promote our beautiful Island Jamaica. I'm happy you stopped by. One love 🥂💖🌴
Hello Lorraine, I have been around the world and back 🤣🤣. It's good to be back. I'm hoping that I will be able to share with you more frequently. One love friend. 🥂
Hello Jode, It is so nice to hear from you. Thank you so much, it means a lot hearing that from you. I am very grateful that you continue to falla backa mi 😀🥂💖🌴. Blessings
Lovely od,the sun is mighty 🔥, it wreacked havoc on my orchids and 🪴, lost 2vanda😢..and they were sun vanda😮.your garden is always beautiful and blooming.
Hello Patricia, It's so lovely hearing from you. Yes the sun during this summer was doing a lot of damage to the outdoor orchids. We have to be watering them a lot. I am so happy it is cooling down now. I'm glad my garden is still appealing to you. I still have a lot of work to do in it. I'm getting there slowly. I NEED HELP!! It's so hard to find persons to work. One love my friend. 🙏
Always a pleasure to see your garden. You have put some ideas in my mind. So glad to see you touched on the natives. I have some too😊. Can you tell me what you use for the slugs and snails. They are awful.
Hello Rosemarie, it is even a greater pleasure sharing my garden with you. I appreciate you stopping by and sharing you thoughts. Yes I do love to have the native orchids in my garden as they are so easy to care for and they add some Jamaican touch to the garden. For the snails and slugs I use plant guard. I actually do have a video that I did some time ago where I share a method that is really effective in eliminating them.👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/VaL-sZ2FYxY/w-d-xo.html . Happy growing friend and see you in the next video.
Hello Margaret, don't give up, just keep trying until you find that sweet spot . I had that problem once, but I kept reading and trying various stuff. Mind you I've lost a lot along the way. Now I believe it's worth it. I believe you can get there too.
Hello Andrea, I'm glad you like it. I will try to put in a tour pretty soon, but sometimes persons do not want to featured. I will try for the interview during my garden tour, but can't promise. Thanks for watching and for the comment and suggestion Andrea. One Love. 💖👌
Beautiful vandas!! I can quite understand and relate to your rainfall episodes, as we in SLU are going thru ours as well. My "virgin" garden is sending out keikis at an alarming rate. No blooms yet, but a lot of roots and new plants are sprouting out like crazy: long dry spells, and prolific rains!! (Sahara dust rains.) I can't wait for December - as I suspect I should be blessed with quite a few blooms, especially from orchids I've had since 2020. Like you, ALL my orchids are outdoors, some in shade, some in full sun. My Vanda Miss Joaquim did very well for its1st time bloomers; but my Vanda Mokara Thanida went dormant on me 😪
Hello Elbeem, It's so good to hear from you my SLU friend. The weather just seem to be so erotic, but we have to try and adjust to the different conditions. When your orchids keikis a lot is it is an indication that the plant is not happy. You may need to check the rooting system. I am hoping that pretty soon you will get the kind of blooms that you desire, I find that I get more blooms during the summer. It is so great that your V. Miss Joaquim did very well this time. Mine didn't do very well at all. I need to cut it back and replant it 😢. So sorry you Mok. Thainida went dormant on you. Hopefully it will wake up when 2nd spring gets here, and bloom for you. Happy growing my friend and see you in the next video. One love from Jamaica. 🥂💖👌🤗
Hello Annmarie, I use plantguard for the snails and slugs. I also have a video which shows how you may also use it to get rid of them. 👉🏼th-cam.com/video/VaL-sZ2FYxY/w-d-xo.html. They are really terrible to our plants.
Hi Rosemarie, no the spray doesn't affect the bromeliads as a matter of fact, the bromeliads will breed mosquitoes and so it is even more important to let some of that insecticide get into the water that settles in the bromeliads to prevent breeding. Thanks for stopping by and one love. 🥂
Hello Lena, it is difficult to say without understanding what you will be spraying for. You will have to provide me with more information before I can share with you some of what I uses. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hello Lena, yes orchids can survive in the open sunlight however you will have to gradually acclimate them. I usually place mine out in the full sun during winter season as the sunlight is not as harsh and the days are much shorter. Maybe you could start there.
Hello Claudia, I would have to get more information on your growing conditions, the fertilizers you use etc. to understand why your Vanda orchids are refusing to bloom. I have realized that this summer they really bloomed a lot for a lot of persons. Please do not loose hope email me at charmkp@gmail.com giving me more information and I will see if I can share some tips with you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Blessings!
My dear, you have a very beautiful house/orchid garden. It is such an inspiration, to watch all your beautiful and interesting videos. Many blessings to you and your lovely home, from Puerto Rico
Thank you so much friend. Lots of blessings to you as well and it's great having you visiting from Puerto Rico.
