I love watching how you just take a piece of wire and make virtually ANYTHING for your orchid’s security. I’m going to buy a roll of it tonight after work and every newly-potted orchid will be hung and/or staked using this.
I got the wire this weekend, and I'm looking forward to making the clips,etc. I am learning so much here, and applying it. Love the videos . Thank you so much!
So glad I found your channel! I am jealous of what you can do... I wish I can... my husband is not handy either.. maybe I can start to learn how to cut wire... was looking for lava rocks in pet stores, lowes.. never found... internet pbbly only Thank you Rick! Lana
This is great video! I saw you use this in another video glad I found this one! I have several plants that will sure benefit from this I will use this when I repot every orchid thanks much ❤️🌞
....I use wicks, but in trays....and I water in the trays.....I also water from above every so often to flush salts out......the catch is.....they tell you to re-pot every 3 months....so the logic is you ...never build anything up.....peat perlite, and vermiculite....which is a basic violet mix.....has almost zero nutrients..and is a hydro mix....so you supply everything......and in hydro we flush accumulated salts........the media is fine....only re-pot if root bound.....not for nutrients.........if that makes sense....in hydro.....when you flush media....your starting over, like it was just repotted....root bound is different.......Hope I didnt confuse you Margret.......great question
I am so with you the stakes! I do not like them. Can't wait to how this is done. Thanks so very much and very appreciative of you sharing your knowledge
I want that mystic maze soooo bad..its on my wish list and sooooo not available in my country Ps talking about the gravel just filled a small pot with gravel from a drive way😁🙈 I'll rince it and i'm gonna put a sharry baby devision in it. (Once it make a bit more roots. They are nkt water roits yet theyr nit kn the water so once ill devide it il harden them of before i put them in rocks ) Love that little ricky still has all it roots under that weight. First phal that i repottes and still has all the roots. And That pot is heavy!! Am amazed that the roots get treu that heavy rock. Ooooo please tel me your wife is going to say hi... that would totaly make my day... Kind regards rose 🌹
......my Sherry baby loves the gravel.......3 new growths this summer...., your will too......little Ricky....lol.........and yes she will pop in and say something...
i noticed that you dont use clear plastic pots which i was advised to use so that light and air gets to the roots etc.. so i soldered holes all around the pots...and your use of ordinary gravel Rick do you find that its too heavy or no air etc around the roots ??? wow.. your thoughts please..
........issues no,.... clay pots have been used long before plastic was even invented..and orchids have been growing on and in stone for eons........the stone adds some weight, but nothing crazy......they don't blow over, they drain well......there's big gaps in between the stones for air...the flush like a dream, they dont rot, never have to re pot again..etc etc......but, there is nothing wrong with clear plastic pots.......use what works for your grow set up.
O dear yes its a nut cracker tool 🙈well it just looked like the thing we use to crack walnuts and what not. And sometimes my english translation software in my head refuses. 😂 But amazing show. They do soo much better secured. Can i make that on plastic orchid pots ? Kind regards rose 🌹
Rick L need the basics first then ill tinker to make it for plastic. Ps if i get it right ill film rhe proces with ma tripod 👊 pinky promise Kind regards rose 🌹
Nice I don't mind if my plants sprawling all over the place. If they are healthy they shouldn't brake. However it's easer to accidentally brake a plant that is untidy.
Rick, I need to make those clips, I do make my baskets and mounts from cedarwood, but I found your channel and I love it. Check My orchids creation by Norma on Fb.
Lots of good information but you are panning too fast which makes it hard to watch...It's a common fault with TH-cam presenters..slowing it down would make a much better video IMO.

Yayy..at last..I found it. :) the video showing the wire you use. Thanks for all your knowledge and the right way to teach us.
I love watching how you just take a piece of wire and make virtually ANYTHING for your orchid’s security. I’m going to buy a roll of it tonight after work and every newly-potted orchid will be hung and/or staked using this.
You are very handy....thanks for showing us your holders.

Lana, you too kind, ....I use the lava rock from the garden center, used for landscaping, ground cover.

Thank you for your helpful videos...was wondering about your clips and hangers 👍☺️
Not orchids Ric, but AVs. There is talk about flushing, so prevent build-up of salts, does this apply to African violets.?

.....thanks Stacy........not kidding these will change the way you grow....
Rick L yes and also saves space as well. But I am not sure how to do the core or stem clamp.

Thanks for all the tips. Have you done a video on how you hollow out your wood pots/ mounts? Happy growing.
thank you.....no, I havent shown that.........I will keep it mind for another video.
Can't wait to do those orchid clips.

thanks Rick ... are they just plain river rocks ... sick of bark and problems associated with it...
You should sell them. I would buy them! What kind of wire do you use?
O dear yes its a nut cracker tool 🙈well it just looked like the thing we use to crack walnuts and what not. And sometimes my english translation software in my head refuses. 😂
But amazing show. They do soo much better secured.
Can i make that on plastic orchid pots ?
Kind regards rose 🌹
.....glad you caught that....lol.....I use them on any pot if its needed........get creative....very easy.
Rick L need the basics first then ill tinker to make it for plastic. Ps if i get it right ill film rhe proces with ma tripod 👊 pinky promise
Kind regards rose 🌹
I make my own wire plant hangers but I haven't tried making my own stakes. I will give your designs a try. Thanks
.......your 1/2 way there already........Thanks Patricia
So creative!👍
Nice I don't mind if my plants sprawling all over the place. If they are healthy they shouldn't brake. However it's easer to accidentally brake a plant that is untidy.
.....Victor your correct, .....untidy.....
i have the Banfieldara Gilded Tower ‘Mystic Maze as well just coming into flower now.. 61cm long...
........very nice, love those big spider flowers.......incredible...
I'm already with my wire and eager to watch your tutorial.
.....get them fingers limbered up....thanks Margaret
