I'm so happy you are doing an orchid video!! I love my 5 orchids that I've had for many many years now and I love seeing what others have and the new ones they get! Thank you Jeff!🤗🌸🏵🌸🏵

My Mom has orchids...over 20 of them! She fell ill, (brain aneurysm) when COVID started. I went to stay with my Mom & Dad for 3 months to help them out, drive to all appts, make foods to help her to recover. I took detailed notes on her care of her orchids, like a kid in school before the math exam.....Hahahahahaha! I managed to keep every orchid alive & I added to her collection! Whew! Have an awesome day!!! ✌🏻

Can I put my new orchid in a northwest window ? I think if I’m looking at it all of the time I will remember to take care of it. 🌺💚🙃

Thank you Jeff, be safe, stay healthy and we’ll see you next time. I have family coming in this weekend from Va. son-in-law is going to repair our leaking roof 👏🏻 Hubby is MUCH too old to be up there considering he has a hard time standing up without tipping over. 🥺🌺💚🙃

I just ordered a Sharry Baby😊 I hope I don’t kill it. 🥺🌺💚🙃 I know I’m a pest but I hope you can walk me through it, potting it up and the substrate you use ? And can I keep it outside until fall ? 🌺💚🙃 I’m nervous, while the plant was reasonable with shipping included I CANT KILL IT. 🌺💚🙃

Would you consider making a detailed video on what kind of medium you use and how you repot them and what type of pots that you use ? 🌺💚🙃

I like orchids but I can’t grow them. I’m not attentive enough for them to want to live for me, plus my house is way too dry in the winter months. 🌺💚🙃

I HATE packing peanuts they get EVERYWHERE! 🌺💚🙃

❤this video made me so happy!!

❤kindred heart... Regenerating the population ❤…I loved my orchids, beautiful for years….🐛Then mealy bugs 🐛 yup in the soil. Repotted. They are struggling, I love them, makes me sad to see the roots drying up. 🌸So much more to learn.❤️ I'm happy I found your channel a few years ago…

Yes, yes, yes....I love orchids too....I filled my small sun room with over 40 different colors and kinds...and...enjoyed my tropical treat area...surrounded by so much beauty....until....I too got mealy bugs.they were a contstant battle. Having so many plants touching each other it was impossible to get rid of the bugs..even when quarantined cleaned weekly...put in plastic bag.....so one at a time they got tossed...so sad.... I have 2 now.... thanks for the video Jeff❤

my Ivy plant placed indoor near the window but I don't know why it's started being withered. do you have any idea to survive it ?

How do you pot these up? So often I see every person make their own mix but like what's all in it? Do you keep these in a cabinet indoors for humidity or do they adjust to the household? I avoid a aroids to be honest because it just seems people spend so much time on pest contol and it being a constant battle. Is it just me or is there a lot of pest heartbreak in aroid ownership. Honestly I'd like to see how you display these.

I had a catastrophic orchid event too. Last summer. I always put them on my screened porch for the summer. But one day I was cleaning the porch or something. I put the orchids outside on the deck. They got too much sun and they all died. Most of mine were rescues from the clearance rack so I did not cry too much.

Yes I do why cactus/succulent plants I buy cheaper cause I kill them a lot inside over winter

Crowded. Plant in the middle of the grass. It will surprise you.

My dad marveled at how I was able to get his Orange flower Bird to get 20 feet tall from a non-rooted cutting in Southern California.. My strategy is to let the plant focus on the main stalk and prune the outer. You'll get it to bloom much easier by not allowing it to compete with itself.

Nitpicky taxonomist here-----Huernia is a genus, not a family. The family that the genera Stapelia, Huernia, and Hoya belong to is Asclepiadaceae, and it's pronounced hwernia------think of Stewie Griffin! But it is a super cool plant

Hi ! I have one, bul it lost all it's leaves. I still having it green and the raisins looks fine . In my country was a very hot summer all the beginning 35-40. Can you help me 😮please

Hey I have a question do you have any Yucca Rostrata?

Can I use coconut oil instead of neem or peppermint oil? I think I have the spider mites in my outdoor garden.

I’m so sorry Jeff, you just got everything cleaned up and now you have to do it all over again. Love the hanging baskets, beautiful. You are always so calm and patience, that flooding was horrible. Plant shopping always cheers you up. ❤

You are growing this in zone 6a???

Omg I can’t believe you had to drain the whole entire pool oh dang, I wish I was there to help you!

Car ride with Jeff! Yay!!! ❤🌲🪴🌿❤

Hi Jeff! That is a really pretty plant~ I love variegated plants. That will be nice in you collection. Thank you so much for sharing!

I love watching your videos of your tropical oasis! I would love to know where you got the giant blue pots?

I am so sorry that this happened. I want to thank you for taking us on tour as you navigated the flood. Your ability to to stay cool and look for a solution is a gift. A good lesson for anyone who watches your video. The car ride was a nice break through the winding road and always love shopping with you and planting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and coolness.… I believe the contactors knew that water was going to move in your direction, thus the rock hedge by the fence. But it was a lot of rain. I love your comment “ Champagne problems “ “Keep growing “ Thank You again Oh!!! I love evergreens, my mom always told me you need winter interest in a garden. After watching I went to Lowes and bought an Emerald Green to place by the sidewalk.

Hi Jeff, congrats on your new beauties. I have a question please, I've been ordering lots of starter (house plants) recently. Everything I hear suggests leaving the plants in the pots they shipped in for as long as possible. These starters are in small pots which are driving me crazy having to water so often. My question is what is the minimum amount of time one can leave starters (with roots) before repotting into more permanent pots? Thanks for your help. I loved it when Turbo brought his toy to you and politely placed it at the base of the plant. He waited patiently, then wandered off. Of course he left his toy in case you decided you wanted to play with it. Bless his precious heart. 💖

Oh, man, what a mess. This happens occasionally to my next-door neighbor's pool if we have a significant rain. He just runs the pump and shocks and repeats it for days.

That was a real mess and a lot of strain on your system but looks like you handled it well. You have an impressive pool filtration system. My wife & I operated our own pool cleaning, service & repair for 10 years. Hope you can get the source & problem with stuff overflowing into your pool cause that could be a real pain

Yikes!! Jeff, I wonder if your back neighbors have drainage in their back deck since everything is seeping into your yard. If worst comes to worst, see if you can put in a French drain. I know you mentioned that there was a drain in that area, but it looks like you might have to widen it so it can take in more water. I recently had to get a French drain installed in my side yard because my neighbor’s lot is higher than mine and my side yard flooded. I hope you can get everything figured out and that it doesn’t get too costly since French drains can be extremely expensive.

Those dichondra baskets were only $19.98? Wow! I would have guessed they were $29.98. Do the siding clips you were talking about get permanently mounted or do they just clip on? I have a condo and can't drill into the siding, but if they just clip on, I would love to mount some trellises for my climbers. This year I have hyacinth vine wrapped around the wrought iron railing to my entrance steps, and it is growing about a foot a day and I think it's going to take over my entrance! I can't believe how calm you are regarding the flood. I think I would have been in tears, but you're right...Champagne problems😊

There's no way in the world I could have handled this the way you did. I would have been so upset I wouldn't be able to speak. How can this be YOUR responsibility? The Association should be responsible. You're much too kind, Jeff, much too kind. This should have been disclosed to you when you bought/built the house. I don't know if it was, but some kind of compensation was certainly in order. Not my business, but you're too kind! What a guy! xxo

Love your attitude! I scaled down drastically in my orchids as well, had over 70. Wayyyyy tooooo much work! I became a subscriber years ago from your orchids, been here ever since

Our salt generator said way too low....turms out generator bad. Salt exepense gone....and start over.....

❤ beautiful ❤️!!

Wow! Your viewership goes down when you talk about orchids? That's crazy. I'm an orchid fanatic. My palms are only second to them. And OMG, what a flood. And that is such a gorgeous orchid! And I hate the shredded newspaper as well.

Oh no! Will the salt from your pool kill your plants? 😕 I LOVE LOVE seeing the night view with all the color 😍 So much added work for you 😕 I love the hanging baskets 😍 And the Orchids are beautiful, I have 8 Phil's. I did not catch it if you said what company you ordered them from?🤔😊 You got soo much accomplished. 👍👏 Thank you for sharing this. You take good care and get some rest. We'll see you soon. 😊

It looks like what you have in the drill is a nut driver, not a bit holder. The 2nd one you have is an actual bit holder.

Did you get the Santa Barbara from Yoshi (orchidsbythelake)? I feel like the leaves on some of the Colocasia are extremely dependent on weather. I have a Pigtail Princess that is now a nearly white leaf with a green edge. White Lava holds its color very well, Pink Ribbon goes nearly black in cool and the pink veining becomes more prominent when it gets hot.

Looks A - mazing Jeff 🤩Congrats! You have excellent taste ✨. Are you able to tell me where the gorgeous turquoise and black lanterns came from? Your backyard needs to be in Architectural Digest or a home decor magazine.

I love your patience, you are a breath of fresh air that I look forward on Saturdays to relax . I am so sick of the negativity , toxicity and lack of patience of the people in my life. Your videos never fail to bring smiles and joy to my heart.

Atleast the bananas will be happy😭

Cool you now have orchids😍🌱🌱🌱

Great video! My pond overflow pipe got clogged in the storm, and just enough water overflowed the edge to turn the water brown. I caught it just in time before it really overflowed though, and the filtration had the water mostly cleared up in a few hours. Standing plants back up after the storm though, man that's a whole big task of its own.

Jeez, i can't imagine any french drain, dry creek, etc., preventing that. Your pool is much lower than all your neighbors. They all drain to your lawn. Plants got good rain water, and you had a moment of free time from watering? 😊.

Sorry one more question ? Can I plant my colocasia redemption in water ? I’m not a heavy handed waterer . 🥺🌺💚🙃 I just got it and I need to plant it somewhere soon. 🌺💚🙃

I am really very sorry about your pool. 🥺🌺💚🙃

Thank you Jeff, we will see you next time. I do like where the hanging baskets are placed ! 🌺💚🙃
