Was thinking you could use tissue on top of the substrate and measure moisture wicked through the tissues weight

Are you saling baby orchid online ? My Dear

Try filling bath tub...just take 1 at a time each time you go in that direction instead of special trips all at once...I find 4 fit in tub at a time then I just soak half a day but in jot summer all night...then unplug drain..after drip dry put them back as you are going in that direction and carry 1 at a time for the rest as you go back for the rest the next day...instead of 2000 steps back and forth bringing all to bathroom at once just fill bath tub and bring 1 each time you go around the house doing other things

Dividing is not propagation

I noticed you are not using the typical orchid potting soil (mostly bark) that they recommend in the US. Do you find that those beads work better than the bark soil? Also, I was confused about how to handle the aerial roots, looks like yours are healthy even when you stick them inside the pot. I am very new to orchids and am trying to revive one I brought home from the office. It was overwatered and its leaves dried and died out. Aside from aerial roots (which seem to be OK for the most part), it does not have any other roots so I was wondering if I needed to let it stay in water bath for a while but looks like that may not be the best idea. I just cleaned the roots and trimmed the dead ones and I am going to repot it in bark again. On average, how often do you need to water them?

What a beautiful plant. I've been considering adding a few "American Hybrids" to my collection. This reminds me that it is necessary to investigate the size of a mature plant before slapping down my Mastercard and placing an order since the plant has to fit under an LED grow light without covering up the smaller paphs and phals I already have.

Hi Annabel, we are missing you much. rgds., Steffen

Looks beautiful

You didn't show how you water them 😂

That seedling is extremely along way from flowering you are not going for at least 5 years

Hello Annabel. I was curious if you have ever done a video of you repotting one of these beauties into this media and set up. I would love to see how you go about it.

sorry, late to the party 😄would love to know how you achieve a level of self-watering with your orchids

I just have one Zygo. It is just in medium bark. As soon as its dry, I run water through or soak depending on the heat. Im in S. Africa. Dry and hot in Summer and cold in winter. Bright light. No sun. Doing ok and cant wait for a bloom.

hello all! this is a strange question but could anyone in the scientific community point me to a paper that references this specific method of Ph determination? I have looked and looked but all articles are either paywalled or lead me round in circles :( Thanks!!

❤❤❤

Thank-you so much this is wonderful!

Great plants :)

gorgeous vid, I'll use this data for my aquarium stuff. btw the difference in ph/ size of bark is most likely due to significantly higher surface area the finer the bark is. over a short period like 24h that should do the observed effect, it would balance out the more time passes.

It makes sense that these orchids would do well in a self watering pot . Some varieties like a lot of water. As a newbie to orchids , I must say it gets a little confusing because I’ve watched successful grower to the complete opposite growing conditions for E. Cordigera … dry wooden hanging basket , or in a clay pot with coco bark and charcoal .. outside with direct morning sun till noon. And hers grow and bloom profusely! So I’m quite amazed at the 2 Very different growing methods/:

I got my Sharri baby last September and it has never bloomed yet and the leaves are a lighter green than yours are. Your leaves look so healthy. My leaves have brown spots as well. Mine is planted in bark, I have 15 orchids in total. Should Sharri baby be in a sunny window or in shade?

Thank you..I was just looking to ID the pink-flowering Dendrobium and noticed a couple of keikis (I've always just called them pups..) Anyway, thank you, as I wanted to share it with a friend, and now I know how to.. Excellent images and clear instructions! 🌺

Do you have an update on the progress of how you found the Pumice?

Love these variegated orchid’s

You should not repot it.

Anggrek yg bagus, kebetulan saya memiliki banyak plant...❤❤❤

How did you prepare the p723 agar?

Styrafoam cup??

Some orchids like dendrobium kingianum need a winter temperature drop below 14*C or 57.2*F to set flower spikes. Your Encyclia may need something similar to flower.

I just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching your videos. You’re a wonderful teacher and you’re really in tune with your plants. I’ve learned so much from you. I’m a new orchid grower and I’m so fascinated by their growth. I’m guilty of babying them. The way you handle your plants with care is comforting to see. I wish youde come back 😢.

I just bought a Wildcat/Bobcat Cattalaya..help me any tips would take for me...

Mine smells like milk chocolate to me and my daughter. I love her!

Yes, the hole in the top has to let the air out so the water can get in, so the straw will move. Otherwise the water will be held back by the air pressure inside the tube. Great build and clear video thanks!

Superthrive vitamin solution is sooo Great...

Loved this video

Simtec

can u just stick a spaghetti into the ball? or would that be too heavy?

Neo.falcata. × Rhyncostylis coelestis = Neostylis Lou Sneary.,probably most well- known Neofinetia hybrid. Meristems of cv.'Bluebird' is widely available. Grex is very fragrant

It's an involved regiment you have. but really the process is something I wouldn't do myself. I don't have anything negative to say at all, it's just too much. I'm not lazy I find it just intimidating. Maybe if I could attend a class and learn bit by bit but in this condensed form of video learning I will continue to find information that I can reasonably absorb. Seems like all people here though have found it really useful though. Lighting, getting the right media, potting size, watering schedule are all things that are elements I've found to help my orchids growing well. Some orchids just will not grow in my environment so it's ridiculous to fight it unless I want to get into a more professional grow room.

the water filter manufacturers recommend you change filter as soon as you can hand over more money. my tapwater is about 60ppm TDS according to their figures, so i just use that. when i can remember, which is less often than desired, i use aquarium water conditioner to neutralize the chloramines etc. in tapwater. dont bother supplementing with silica, there's more than enough of it in water etc. for plants that want lots of it, which is bog growing plants like horsetail. extensive testing shows there's no difference in growth whatsoever for plants supplemented with silica. but since it's completely inert and doesnt harm plants, they'll take your money for it if you believe their hype. everyone will tell you not to mix all sorts of nutrient solutions together, unless you really know your chemistry, as it's actually quite easy to make nutrients fall out of solution (precipitate) by mixing ones that are incompatible, and then they become non dissolving solids.

So beautiful color

Jesus salamat

Hiya, OMG i love the concept!. So my straw is sticking to the test tube and not going down any tip please

오! 멋진 영상입니다.^^ 보는 것 만으로 힐링됩니다.~

Great update -,thanks - great info. May I ask how far up the pot did you put the wick in the pot you've used pumice in?

Great video - thank you. When you referred to ? Ceramis - can you explain what that is and do you add any water to the seedling pots at all & if so - how often?

Nice to hear😊: Just got two slightly different lovelys❤👋🏼🍀💨
