The best information out there is found at Garden State Tortoise. Specifically, Basic Setup for Starting Baby Tortoises! Crucial Information for Best Care. Their work is outstanding, and not just KZbin, but hands on experience with these precious tortoises.

Bless you - I have been desperate for information regarding the Farmeri. My first orchid - I had no idea of its normal growth pattern of few leaves! ( that first year of orchid growing was rough). 😉 Thanks !

Can we gaet an update😢?

To remove keikis that are ready for repotting is to gently twist it around until it comes off. Then put cinnamon on the area/wound where the keikis were to avoid infection.

Que linda!

I am so thrilled to bump into this post. I have just received mine. Your care instructions are fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing

Is the leca a good choice for a moisture loving orchid?

Hi, I just got a small maxillaria and I hope to grow it more and bloom hopefully this coming spring. I will try your tips!! Thank you.

Hi Do you mist the keikis while on the mother plant????

I’m in Los Angeles and I’ve never seen the Better-gro bagged seedlings.

No dont ever cut a healthy root. They need those resh tips to drunk....after you cut it won't drink until it grows side ones....they are not overgrown in fact most of us love the long vanda roots as much as flowers especially a nice fat main root not side off shoot roots....a short bushy root systemcwith dead stub ends is not nicer than long healthy roots. Tie them if you don't want long. Moss competes humidity and water and fertilizer ...but personally moss looks messy stringy half dead brown makes roots look awful half dead and destroys gorgeous look of vanda roots.

Hi! My baby box turtle only wants worms from my patio. I have tried fruits and vegetables and she does not want them, also tried canned food for turtles and she does no like that either. What can I do? Thanks

They’re such great plants. That fragrance is astounding!

I just purchased mine today - a small one. I hope it grows fast if I follow your growing tips - Thanks, am now a follower too. :-)

Hi, I live in Frankfort, Kentucky and my Lowe's "rarely" ever has any orchids for sale other than the typical phalaenopsis like you find at Kroger's. The one time I did see the bag babies I didn't think they looked very healthy, so I did not buy any.

No "Bag Babies" here in Memphis Only local Orchids are the occasional Dyed Blue Phal at Krogers.

How strong do you fertilize? I do fertilize mine with 400µS every 2 weeks. Until now, it didn´t bloom, I have it since years. Half teaspoon of wchich strenght? 15 - 15 - 15 + 2 or what?

Mo. Yes but thrones we get ate smaller plants same price though, can I ask where didyou get the pot holders at it looks like it hold 6 plants....? Thanksim looking for spotted clown an thatwedding flower one .to bad we can't order direct from them...😊

Try try Superthrive VITAMIN FOOD !.it is S00 amazing on plants an ORHIDS.....!

Hi, is this Chia Lin New City or Chia Lin Black Flower? She is absolutely gorgeous! ❤

The gecko appears to be a Mediterranean gecko which has been introduced seemingly everywhere. They eat moths and roaches and I doubt they are eating your blooms. I have them here in Florida and we have never had any issues with them. Iguanas on the other hand are a menace. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_house_gecko

I have had better luck with bag babies from Home Depot than plants from a nursery. I think the nursery ones come from a growing environment better than mine. The bag babies are getting a better environment in my space having lived in a bag with minimal care. they appreciate the improvement. That's my take on it.

I just found your channel and I’ll try this! someone gave me a cutting of the yellow M. tenuifolia in February, and here it is June and it still has not rooted in sphagnum. I’m in Seattle and it’s a bit cool, so I will put it up into the south window where my other plant grows quite well, in water. Wish me luck!

I have an order coming to me tomorrow..I ordered four plants and they charged me 270.00 for the plants and shipping. That is what we pay in Canada for orchids.

Good info on your growing conditions. 👍 Subscribed You should upload again if possible.

Great video!

How long do you boil the leca for to sterilise?

Some of these flowers, I have never seen before. Thanks for a wonderful video. That’s what’s nice about watching different peoples gardening videos. You never know what you’re gonna see and even if I can grow them where I live.

Oh my gosh, thanks for sharing another great garden tour today so many beautiful flowers blooming. Oh my gosh just love love loved it watch from the beginning to the end. You do a beautiful job on your videos and thanks for sharing.

Thank you

Hey! Found what I believe to be a newborn box turtle and haven’t been able to get it to eat since I found him yesterday. Can you correct me if I’m wrong but you said the turtles won’t eat for a while after being born. If my understanding is correct, how long will it take for him to eat? I have worms, Rollie pollies, cut up carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce. Thank you so much

I just found one thats probably not even a month old. Its about the size of a leaf. Its not moving at all so im thinking it died

I have 3. One blooms profusely, one grows beautiful thick long leaves, and the other just sits here. They are grown side by side so same conditions. They really are like an oldest, middle, and youngest child!

Bonjour Madame, Merci pour votre vidéo, j'ai une orchidée comme la votre, je viens de la rempoter dans de la sphaigne car ça faisait presque 4 ans qu'elle était dans de la vieille sphaigne. Par contre, j'ai jeté les vieux pseudobules car j'ignorais qu'ils pouvaient faire des racines dans de l'eau 😢 Dommage que votre vidéo n'ait pas de sous titres en français car je ne comprends pas tout ! Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéos et j'espère avoir des fleurs cette année ou la prochaine. Salutations de France. 😊

I love you videos.and your plants as well.thaks. so much.

Thank you very much. I love your collection!! Question, When do you report your orchids?. I bought some and I already repotted them, Did I do wrong? I am a very beginner.

The top young leaves are also delicious to steam and add your favorite sauce.

Bellissima 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

Beautiful and free blooming.

So you can’t report these ones? I brought mines from a flower show and i was wondering how do i put it in on a pot.? Thanks

Aclandiae is on my wishlist. Hoping soon.

As a fan of SVO, I really enjoyed this tour. Thanks!

My only comment regarding Hausermann orchids is they don’t offer PayPal or any other way to pay besides sending them your credit card information. Therefore, I have never ordered from them. I would be disgusted with your dead roots plant for all the money you had to pay for it.

We have 2 Lowes stores nearby and they never have Better Gro bagged orchids. I did order some from Home Depot online. Very little selection. The potted ones like yours are over $25.00 each.

Lowe's for some reason the prices are not bad I was surprised smaller ones $7.50 and large $10 really healthy looking in pretty ceramic pots .

Hi Kim, I hope you are doing well. I miss your videos. Take care ❤❤❤

I’m in Texas and the two closest to me Carrie’s bag babies or in bloom which are $18.98

Thanks for letting us know your culture in growing the Maxillaria tenuifolias, amazing! Hope mines bloom one day. @WeLuvOrchids 😊

Aloha from Hawaii! Thank you for posting such an informative video! I was gifted my coconut orchid a year ago and it bloomed but there weren't as many buds as yours! Learned so much on your video! My orchid is very dark green with lots of growth, but it sounds like I'll need to expose it to more sunlight to get more buds! Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you!
