How much sunlight does dove orchid need? Can I place it in full sun
@stefpix4 күн бұрын
I had a Trichocentrum Ollie Palmer, one of these Better Gro packages from Lowes home improvement store. Grew it in NYC, it flowered easily. Got big, I would put it outside in full sun in the warm seasons. Just clay pellets in a terracotta pot. One of the easiest growing orchids. I got tired of it when I lost some interest in growing plants/ orchids. But now I regret selling it (in 2018). I may get a T. lanceanum, as Ollie Palmer is not as easy to come by. I worry that the lanceanum may have much bigger leaves than the Ollie Palmer, and harder to flower, But anyway looking back it was a keeper. it did not care of low humidity etc,

I purchased some New Zealand tree fern fiber to use, but most of it seemed to be more on the finely-grated side. May i ask where you buy yours? What name brand do you buy? Thanks!!
@orchidhouse8 күн бұрын
It should be as fine as can be. If you are an AOS memebr (American Orchid Society), read the magazine from October 2020 on page 774. It explains how to use tree fern fiber properly. I buy mine at Green Barn Orchid Supply in Delray Beach, Florida. The brand is Fern Wood and the fiber comes from New Zealand where is it harvested with "reason"

My mariae only blooms once a year also, usually in May. I’ve read there are slightly different colors, perhaps they bloom more often. I’ve read in several places mariae should bloom freely.
@orchidhouse9 күн бұрын
So far mine blooms also around April-May once a year. The flowers last approx. 45 days. It is supposed to be free flowering but I assume it comes with age :)? I am not aware of strong variation in color for mariae though?

I'm sorry for asking something outside of the discussion but I remember you caring and blooming Peristeria elata. I've had it for few months. It looks to only grow roots by the active root tips I see on the plant. Would this be the time I almost stop watering it for 3 months? (trickle water on edges?) Or should I continue watering as usual? Is the bloom bud the thin upper triangle like protruding bud in the lower edge of pseudobulb? Can it dry out? I'm sorry for bothering you but there isn't that much info about this orchid even if I watched the videos in Spanish with auto English subtitles.. Thank you for your time.
@orchidhouse11 күн бұрын
You can go back to my peristeria video and ask the question there but no problem: Peristeria elata is mostly dormant over the winter and you should limit watering. If the bulbs start shriveling, then you can water more. You should not stop watering entirely for 3 months, just reduce the watering. New bulbs only start growing in the spring (which is when you should repot if needed) and the flower spike develops almost at the same time but the spike grows MUCH faster than the bulb. If you live in the northern hemisphere, don't expect a new bulb or flowers this time of year.

@orchidhouseАй бұрын
First of all: be patient! these are slow growers I would mount it and water it every day thoroughly. I water mine twice a day over the summer. If you don't like watering, then it needs to be in a pot but not sure what medium works best. This plant grows in Borneo which is extremely wet, humid and hot. You should also fertilize it more than other orchids. I fertilize mine 3 times per week (always "weakly") over the summer. It needs good light but I don't grow mine in direct sunlight

@ - Thank you very much for the advice. I have a lot of Vandas that just hang around without pots and I also water them daily, sometimes twice a day. So I will have to water them together.

Your cattleyas are so beautiful! I can only grow my cattleyas indoors and not having much success. I use grow lights and humidifiers and bottled distilled water but have never been able to get a cattleya to flower for me. I'm now trying to grow cattleyas mounted to see if I have better luck. I use MSU fertilizer, Cal-Mag, and seaweed extract but that does not seem to get them to flower. If I can get a cover built over my patio, I think maybe if I could get them outside in the summer, I might have a better success rate. Happy orchid growing from Kentucky, James
@orchidhouseАй бұрын
Hi James! Greetings to Kentucky! Typically, orchids that do not bloom need more light. I have no experience with grow lights but I would recommend you put them outside during the "good season" (not sure of your weather pattern in KY). You can use shade cloth if they are too exposed to direct sunlight

As Always, another great video Olivier so many thanks. Are you or any of your subscribers using Fern Tree Fibre for Cattleyas in pots? I am about to repot a (gifted) Cattley Bowringiana Var. Coerulea which is currently in a kind of Terrestial mix. Currently the plant is doing well and is rather large. Clearly the mix it is in currently is agreeable to the orchid, however, I want to grow this into a specimen plant and as I have Fern Tree Fibre already, I would like to get your thoughts on using that for this incredible Orchid. Many thanks in advance, Helen, Sydney Australia
@orchidhouseАй бұрын
Hi Helen! Thank you for your kind words and warm greetings to my Australian friends :)) Even if a terrestrial mix sounds a bit "off", my advice would be to keep it as is. When you repot a plant, it is like a person moving to a new home: it is stressful, you need to adjust to changes etc... For an orchid, when you change the type of medium it grows in, you add an extra layer of stress as the roots need to adjust to a new environment, especially when it comes to moisture retention. So if your orchid currently grows well and is happy, just keep the same medium as repotting in itself is stressful enough. Please remember that bifoliate Cattleyas (bowringiana is now called Guarianthe rather than Cattleya but that is semantics: it is a Central American Cattleya basically) are very sensitive to repot timing. You should only repot if you currently have active new root growth... and don't damage the new roots. Best of luck with your beautiful plant. Olivier

Hi Olivier, Tom here. I have a Stanhopea tricornis in a wooden vanda basket. I’m having problems growing it in that I get new growth but as leaves emerge and lengthen the tips get brown as with anthracnose and get stunted. I’ve treated with Thiomyl and Dithane but plant looks terrible. Any ideas? Then I watch your video and you have a plant mounted. You and I have talked about liking mounted orchids. Interested in how yours turns out.
@orchidhouse2 ай бұрын
Hi Tom, Frankly I do not advocate the mounting of Stanhopeas. I am giving it a try but they are hard to keep hydrated like that. As to your Stan tricornis, if it is anthracnose, I would try Pageant on them. It may also be that you should adjust the watering. I recommend a really good soaking but then let them dry out out barely (if new growth) and just approach dryness if advanced growths. Monitor the base of the new bulbs. they should get hard and gradually plump up. If they remain soft, it might be that they don't get enough water. I believe it may explain some of those behaviors where new growths systematically abort. Keep me posted

Thanks Olivier. I will try both the Pageant on the anthracnose and your new watering regime. I’ll be in touch.
