😍Denise, hi!! 💐 thank YOU lovely lady!! For taking a moment to be here, to watch and comment. I hope that you are recovery like greased lightning⚡️ 🤗 AND that you are being pampered! 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@NinjaOrchids Hi Nina. Recovery is slow, and I'm currently facing some setbacks. It feels like one step forward, two steps backwards. I am reminding myself that it's a marathon and not a sprint. It's immensely difficult and painful, but all I can do is try. On a more positive note, it feels like I've figured out how to prevent this particular setback from recurring. Thank you so much for your concern. 🫶
😍Hi Ann 💐it is so good to see you! I hope that you are doing well and that your festive season is everything that you were hoping for and then some! 🤗 they do seriously teach us a lesson in patience, and well, I have it is spades for the orchids, but they drain my patience, there is none left for anything else 😆 thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your time during this busy time of year. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸
😍Hi!💐 I appreciate your kind comment and feedback, thank you so so much! Wishing you a very Happy New Year as well, P C! Thank you for all the support in these past years 🫶🏼 much much needed and so very much appreciated ❤️🌸
🌸🥷🏼BeBe San, hi 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 can't always believe what you see on the label, and definitely not what the seller guesses as far as the stage of growth the orchid is at, for sure. I have a few that I am still trying to figure out, get to recover and hopefully they will bloom for us in the years ahed 😅 thank you so very much for your feedback and for taking time to watch! Truly appreciate the support 🌸🥷🏼BeBe San! Hope you are having a wonderful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
This video could be used as a warning for which orchids take longer to adjust. I've heard that repotting can delay blooming by one year for cattleyas. I'm not sure how that works when most orchids have to repotted every 2-3 years. 🤔 9:29 I have two cattleya hybrids that have bicolor in their ancestry including the Rlc. Amazing Thailand which is 15% bicolor. 10:39 The Atrowaller is my favorite because of the shape and color pattern. 12:49 Oh, this is the one from the Christmas livestream. ☺️
HI Joe 😍💐 some take a lot longer than others, that is for sure. Even some species are faster and easier to adapt than others. It takes time to understand who does what, and when, and possibly consistently, or not... 🤔😆 and, within the same genus, do the different species coincide with the same growth habit, i.e. vigor 😂 all fun! I was blown away that the bicolor came into bloom this year. Totally was only going to start to be on the lookout in 2025, so that was amazing ⚡️ this video was during the stream, yes! Just a few little tweaks to try and polish it up a little bit, next day, but for the most part, the video was done while streaming. It was fun for me, so... thank you for sticking around for that part 🤗 thank you, also, for watching this video despite having seen it before 🫶🏼 hope you are having a wonderful day ❤️🌸
Thanks Nina, great video. I do grow about 160 youngsters mostly Cattleyas. They all need repotting within a few months of receiving them and some will sulk and will not be happy for up to a year. I keep moving them around the grow area that's under lights until they find their happy place. The Catts will bloom the 2nd season, some will take 3 years. Such fun to watch them take off and develop like their on steroids when you get their culture just right. Way to go Orchid Master, we'll done. ❤🎉😅😊❤
🌸🥷🏼Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good evening from a BRRRR S'ern Spain 🫶🏼 like our human littles, the orchid youngsters do need that extra attention. Especially, when they are your charges because you are so diligent with everything you do. Also, your fertilizing and flushing routine is so excellent that they boom in their growths, hence needing a repot 😃 it is fun to watch them develop, yes, I 100% agree... then, when they do come into bloom for the first time, I always think back to 'how time flies' 😆 thank you so very much for taking time out of your day to watch and leave an encouraging comment 🌸🥷🏼Cariño San!! I appreciate you so much 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Shirley, hi 😍💐 wishing you a Very Happy New Year, as well, lovely lady! I so appreciate you 🥲🤗 thank YOU so much for watching, for the support and the constant uplifting comments! Have a wonderful rest of your day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
😍Hi!!💐 I love the bicolor... I am wondering if the color is a little too light for what I am supposed to have, the variety brasiliensis, which I did not mention in this video, because I do not want to make that mistake, in case she is the standard from. Vamos a ver, I love the rose gold though. My tenebrosa is supposed to be a variety aurea, so, we shall see what she does next year and if the color is off because of the first time bloom, or because she bloomed so late... many variables going on 😆 still, very pleased to see that the tenebrosa, at least, is able to bloom despite my conditions. Looking forward to hearing when your's bloom, because you can provide them the right conditions all year round. 👍🏼 thank you so very much for watching, lovely lady! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@ I think we might have to wait a little longer (read 5-7 years). 😄 all are either seedlings or young plants. I have both aurea and the norm form for the tenebrosa. C. bicolor should be the regular form as well. That came from Wichmann
I’ve come to believe that many orchids sold as blooming size and may have blooms on them when purchased have been forced to bloom early, whether it’s hormones and/or light. Once they are home and go back to ‘natural’ conditions it takes quite awhile to get them to actual bloom size. Wonderful and informative video. 💕🌺
Debbiiieee!! Hi 😍💐 I hope this reply finds you well 🫶🏼 you are absolutely right that many orchids, because they come from perfect conditions, have a 'forced' blooming possibility. Yes! However, in purchasing such orchids, at least one buys time because the orchid is blooming size, and then the years of acclimating and continuing getting the culture right depend on the new owner. I actually prefer orchids that have bloomed or come with buds / blooms! At least I know that I am paying for the size that I want and not have to think if the orchid I received truly is blooming size or a seedling 😬 (*cough trust issues) 😅 thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I hope your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸
I have A LOT of repotting / mounting to do when my seemingly overly enthusiastic Dendrobiums are thru blooming! Nearly everyday I see a new spike, or as in one case - a double spike! - peeking thru. This has been happening from mid-October, and they haven't stopped - yet! I'm now getting used to the various orchid's blooming seasons. Next up are VMJ's (Mar/Apr) and I'm hoping for the E.Radicans (Apr ?). As usual thanks for sharing your experiences and expertise. Thru your tutorials I managed to save a Vanda Mokara Thanida which is doing excellent. A huge THANK YOU!)
😍Lyn, hi 💐 greetings from a BRRRR Spain, to paradise 🤗 isn't it wonderful that you are now going to be busy with all the orchid activities that, 2 years ago, you were not faced with!! Methinks, you are doing it right 🥳🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️ woohoo!! I love your comment! So much! It is packed with everything that you were hoping for, back in the day and here you are!! So so excited and happy that this is now happening and your time, love, effort, are rewarding you with constant blooms 🙌🏼🙏🏼 thank YOU for sharing! Thank YOU for your support! Thank YOU for always keeping me updated with what you have going on 🥲🤗 I grow in paradise, vicariously through you because of your comments. All I can say, not that I need to because I can read between the lines, but I will say it anyway.... ENJOY!! 🙏🏼 thank you so much for watching. I hope you are having a sensational day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
I feel like tenebrosa and its hybrids are just unnecessarily slow to bloom. Other than BC Bessho, all of the other hybrids I have just drag and drag. Luminosa, for example, I can't believe isn't large enough to bloom and isn't getting the proper temperatures and light, yet that plant just put up another growth and no sign it wants to bloom yet.
