@@michaelmccarthy4077 Hey Michael 👋 must not! I'm not good enough 😂 Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚

@chantalvillemure2595 Hey hon, yes! So terrible! I am so torn up! He was a really really good friend! I will miss him terribly! 😭 it's a big blow to the orchid community! He was way too young to die! He gave me so much encouragement to start my own channel! He walked me through how to do it! He had such a sweet kind soul! I talked a little about him yesterday in my video. His friend Tina also made a nice tribute to him and posted it on his Facebook and Instagram. I told her she should post it on his channel. I am so glad we still have his channel to have him still around. Although he's all over my grow space! He's sent me many plants over the years! ❤️ I miss him terribly 💔😭 Thanks so much for your kind regards.

Dear Paula, I can feel how hard it is for you to have lost him and I hope someone is there for you to give you a big hug. If I may, I give you a virtual hug and will be thinking of you and Justin’s family. Take care Paula.

aww thanks so much! Thats so kind of you! I appreciate your support! It means the world to me! Thank you! ❤

@tess.campbell Hey Tess 👋 it really was. He's all over my growspace. Hopefully in time the pain of loosing him will lessen and a smile will replace the tears when I look at a plant he got me for one reason or another. He was a great friend and I am thankful we had what time we did have with him. But thanks so much for your support sweetie I really appreciate you! So much! 🤗🌹🩷💚

@@tropicalplantsfinland Hey hon, thanks so much for your kind regards. He will be missed! 💔😭

@tropicalplantsfinland Hey hon, I was watching your video and you have it set for kids and you can't leave a comment. I wanted to say I'm glad your doing better and hope you don't have to go back to ER. Definitely will be thinking about you! 🤗🌹🩷💚

@ ❤️ oh need to check the settings!

Yea it said the comments were turned off too! Hopefully you can get it fixed.

@LizE2654 Thanks hon, I appreciate your kind regards. 🩷 It's not what you see that indicates they need more calcium, it's just a fact they are calcium hogs and always need to uptake as much as they can. Sometimes the leaves on cattleya can feel flimsy. Once fed calcium they harden up. Makes it harder for bugs to attack. They always need a lot of calcium. It's not something you can over do. They take in calcium constantly. It's good to use either brand even in inorganic medium. It work in either mediums. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions please ask. 🤗🌹🩷💚

@ thanks!

Hey hon, I was actually thinking more about your question. I should have explained it better. Even though orchids are calcium hogs, there are signs to look for or what you'll see that says you need to up you calcium. Black rot is top thing you'll notice. Especially on new growths! Or the tip of a Cattleya turning black. That's all indicators of not enough calcium. Sadly those marks will stay even if you up the calcium. Cattleya will twist instead of growing straight. That's sometimes and indication. I hope that helps a little more. I should have elaborated more on that for you. 😊

@ no worries. You have alot on your mind. Thanks for the added info.

@LizE2654 Thanks hon, I sure do! But glad I thought about it a bit more. 😊

@Orchids365 Hey sweetie thanks. I appreciate your support! He will be missed! 😭💔

@Stwinky Hey hon, so super kind of you! I appreciate your support so much! Such kind words. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know! Its hard because when I fist got sick I lost many friends. So it taught me to hide what I'm going through. Probably not a healthy way to deal with it, but you move on. I know even if I try to hide it many can still hear it in my voice. I had high hopes over the summer they changed my meds and my summer was fantastic! Soon as my cold weather hit, it's like I'm right back in pain where I started. I'm trying to get my Dr to understand that. We shall see. But knowing that you are all here for me helps alot! This is an amazing community of growers! Even though we lost a great one! 💔😭 I sure hope you have a fantastic weekend dear friend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚

@SitiJackson Thanks so much hon, I appreciate you so much! Your so kind! 🩷🤗🌹

Hey sweetie Miss Shirley 👋 Thanks hon. I appreciate your kind regards! I think in my grief I messed up my scheduling. This was supposed to air Monday. The 2nd part WEWA should have been today! I think that's what I did. So I stopped WEWA and scheduled it for tomorrow. 🤦‍♀️ my brain is mush! Seriously 😂 I hope you have a wonderful weekend sis. Love ya! Big hugs! 🫂❤️🤗🌹🩷💚

@naomimittell4961 Thanks so much for your kind regards. It is a process. It's hard when they are all around you. It's not like I'll ever get rid of the orchids he got me. I'm still in disbelief. I know it will lessen in time. Just to get to that point. So it hurts alot less would be nice! But I do appreciate you so much. 🫂🩷

@tess.campbell Hey hon, many hoyas are expensive! I paid $20 bucks for that hairy cute culdata sumatra! It's so adorable! But that's the great part of sharing! I'd be happy to send you some starts of some of my hoyas! 😁 Have a wonderful weekend dear friend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚

@@hillbillyorchids I truly appreciate your offer Paula but as a windowsill grower I just don't have the space. My precious space is reserved for orchids.

@tess.campbell Hey hon, ok just ask any time if you do! 😁 but I understand having limited space. 😂 may not look like it, but I do! 😂
