Such a beautiful species! Very gorgeous!

Wow! Absolutely stunning!!

Gorgeous!I missed the fall open house

Glad to hear such detailed information.because so many people get this wrong. Thanks. Plenty of stuff I learned as well as I have not had it and I appreciate seeing the examples.

Wow!!!

lol not the easiest species for me. But I did get a replacement that is giving me hope. It might flower for me in about 10 years time if I'm lucky. ps: I vote cattleya schilleriana the easiest species I have tried to grow

So different looking between them, and so beautiful! Are they fragrant?? I love the ceroulea

Thanks for sharing, mine is in sheath

Nice! Thank you

I love those. Mine are in sheath.

What about top temperatures? What eould you say it can tolerate??

Gosh... Jaw dropping beautiful.

Hi Tristan, do you disinfect the lava rock?

Do you ship to Texas ?

You can try using a biological approach. Bacillus Subtilis should be able to fight and kill Phytophthora. (and other infections, such as powdery mildew, anthracnose?), not sure about Pythium, though. Several other "Lactic Acid Bacterias" should be similarly beneficial "probiotics". You can consider doing a Lactic Acid Bacteria culture (LAB) which should give you dozens of varieties of beneficial bacterias that might be effective at fighting the diseases, and will be effective at just boosting the overall health of the plants. No guarantees tho... A very good resource for researching these "biofungicides" is the website "indogulfbioag". They seem to have information that I can't even find in scientific journals. This confuses me, but it does seem that they very much did their research...

Thanks for a great lesson on fertilizer. I have a small collection potted in bark do you recommend pouring through the pot or soaking the pot for 10 or 15 minutes? Also, do you reapply the slow release every spring?

Just go home from palmers fall open house was a great time. Enjoyed meeting you today. Really appreciated all your help

You guys are awesome, thank you for sharing. 🌸

I just went came home with a lot of orchids hard to resist wonderful price even with very nice pottery as well loved this event, highly recommended ! Thank you! You guys are awesome!

I am on my way. See you soon😍

Can’t wait! You got me totally pumped up. I’m going to do stretches ahead of time so as to not injure myself as I sprint to my desired blooms.

Wish you guys were closer to visit Palmer Nursery this weekend. I'm Yudier A another crazy Orchids Collector from Miami FL.

AND we get to see you two!!! See you soon 😊

I wish I could be there!

Everything is beautiful, but I am in Connecticut

So awesome!! Can't wait! Everything does look beautiful!

Another great video. Great camera job, Sandy.

it feels colder here because of the humidity , it allows for the cold to creep into our "bones "faster because of the moisture on our skin as well as the plants. 30f in Colorado is night and day vs 30f here with the humidity. when i moved from Miami to Orlando in 2010 it got down to 17f one day and the 20s for about 5 days it was wild. the 1980s was also a very cold time for the south. hasn't been that consistently cold in ages. im going on about 8 months of collecting orchids this will be my first winter so im taking in as much info as far as fall preperation.

We’re in Central Florida.We were lucky we lost a shade cloth.Some of our neighbors lost carports and sunrooms.Happy you and the family are safe.Luv Palmer Orchids!Everyone is so nice there.Take Care!Serendipity was my favorite,just beautiful!

Do you use speader sticker with heritage?

You might want to add some long fibered sphagnum moss to the soil mix to help maintain water.

Hi Tristan, Thanks for another great video. I was recently given a large division of Guarianthe Bowringiana Var. Coerulea. It came potted in what I would call a terrestrial mix. Whilst the orchid is looking healthy enough and has recently flowered, I would like to change the potting media. I have both course bark and also Tree Fern Media at hand. How do you think in your extensive experience this would go? Would either media set the plant back? Thanks in advance. Helen from Sydney Australia

Glad to hear that people and families are safe. So many people came to the aid of others for the preparation/post clean up. are You are so correct but saying natural disasters such as Hurricane Milton and the many tornadoes that affected Florida and beyond prioritize things. I live in Lake Worth, FL; just west of our neighborhood roughly 17 miles lies the City of Wellington, Acerage, and Loxahatchee area. As reported by news stations multiple tornadoes touched down destroying property, uprooted trees, flipped vehicles, and left several home inhabitable with so many displaced families. Our communities are so fortunate that there were no fatalities. We owe our gratitude to firefighters who transported trauma and injured people. Emergency crews were deployed where downed power lines were moved to get technical crews to remove people from crushed vehicles. A huge shout out the the clean up crews and FPL linemen who worked long shifts to restore power to those who lost electricity. While many families and businesses are ramping up for a busy holiday season, let's hope for a quiet remainder of 2024. Respectfully,

Missed you guys, glad you are all doing well! this too shall pass. 🌸💖

So glad you all are doing better now! And so sorry to hear about your magnolia trees and the orchids on them. Hopefully this is it for the season!! And hopefully your orchids didn't suffer too much either.

You guys are my favorite orchid nursery! I don’t have any nurseries around me, so online shopping is my only option. I am happy to say that I never ever got a bad plants from you, and most of the times it actually exceeds all my expectations! In the matter of fact, I ordered again last week from Palmer and waiting to get it any day! You guys are awesome!!!! P, S. I lived in Madeira Beach 10 years ago so I understand what you guys went through. Unfortunately many of My friends lost their homes;(….

Thank you for the informative demonstration, i really appreciate it! Also, where can i buy thise mounts? I love them, and really need one.

Tarpon Springs, shingles missing, my flooring where I am, other areas really bad underwater, very scary. I’m glad you guys made it OK you know what I mean by OK

So glad to hear that your home & family are ok, and while I can see how tired you are, your efforts getting the orchids under cover really looks like it paid off - most all of your collection looks in good shape. I’m so glad to hear this, and hear that Palmers is pulling together so well. I’m lucky we don’t get hurricanes in my part of Virginia, and I really feel bad for you and everyone in Florida. Instead, we’ve got cold winters to deal with and I’ve become well-practiced in doing a yearly shuffle to move my whole collection outside for summer and then back inside before winter ice, snows and power outages hit our part of the country…I’ve gotten the shuffle down to a fairly organized routine in order to enjoy my orchid passion in a place outside the tropics. Usually I’m jealous of the great orchid growing environment you have in Florida, but not during hurricane season and especially this year. I hope the rest of the year is much easier for you. ❤️

👍👍🌞😻

I'm glad to know y'all are safe and sound. My family and I are safe too, with no property damage. These storms are incredibly exhausting and strangely traumatic even when you come out ok. Hang in there, the nice part of the year is finally here!

I’m glad you and Family are ok I know how you are feeling but everything will be ok soon, and of course we will go back to beautiful Palmer orchids to buy more and more plants love the orchids and the employees 😊

Totally understandable how you’re feeling, sometimes you just have to give them the bare minimum care until you’re back in the zone! A win I have is some seeds I flasked are 7 weeks old and no contaminants with nice size growing protocorms

Nice to see you and hear that you fared well and that Palmers is up and going. You will rebuild your collection!!! I know what it feels like. I lost most of my orchids several years ago in a freeze. We in South TX have cold dips and I have experienced two episodes of freezing in 23 years. I have rebuilt my collection but still miss the rare ones that are hard to find and/ or gotten too expensive for my pocket.

Hi So glad to hear you are safe. I have been worried about you! I live in San Diego have never dealt with weather like yours.You have amazing plants and hopefully everything can get back to normal soon. Stay positive. Best of luck to you

Hey guys! I misspoke in the video. BRAIN FOG. Palmer Orchids DOES ship to NM. They do not ship to CA, HA, or AZ. My bad y’all-Going to take a nap now. 🤦🏻‍♀️

thank you! you're nearly the only one on YT who is using chemicals for treatment, unlike the rest, who is using just water, or, best case scenario - hydrogen peroxide or cinnamon 😂😂 have you tried using physan 20 for this purpose? I have several phalaenopsis orchids suspected to have rhizoctonia root rot, and it turns out the fungisides you suggested are not shipped to California where I am located :( I do have physan 20 on the shelf though, I used it previously to treat fusariosis, but didn't seem to help much

Bellezza straordinaria ❤

A close-up of the flowers would have been nice.

Nice video! I appear in the beginning... ;)
