14 Growths - Propagation & Grow Method

In this video we show you the propagation of this orchid freak of nature and we talk about what made me decide to choose this method. Special thanks to those that helped me to make my decision. I couldn't have done it without you! :)

[@lilyli2460]

I didn't hear one word of your presentation. I couldn't remove my eyes from your hair and your background orchid roots. You just right blended with your orchids. what a beautifull scene! Is this called harmony between man and nature?! Garden of Eden!

[@PictureMaria1]

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

I think it was an expert decision. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you...and I will do the update on this very soon...oh so much to talk about! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING MY DEAR! :)

[@francesdumaliang6132]

[@patriciasholarfreund4964]

Well done! I can't wait to see what actually happens with these plants. Keep us posted.

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you very much! ...and I am at the edge of my seat too! I can't wait to see the results! ...and indeed I will keep you posted! :)

[@furymarine4893]

OMG!!! I held my breath and my heart skipped a few beats. Oooh that knife.... Thank you for putting the baby to bed. Lol!!! Yeeessssss!!!! I can breathe now. Hahahahaha!!!! PS... Admiral (my dog) had to come up to me and check what the heck was going on as I shouted “Yay!!!” and raised my arms up in the air. Lol! Another PS. Love your getup on this video. Cheers from the Philippines.

[@PictureMaria1]

HA HA HA!!! THEN MY WORK HERE IS DONE! LOL!!! TOO FUNNY!!! So you thought I was going to do the extreme propagation!!! I was actually very relieved that I didn't do the extreme propagation on the one with all the growths. I would've been heartbroken if the propagation went bad. I do believe this has a better chance of growing the new growths more normally without depleting the energy supply to the new growths! I am so glad you all talked some sense into me! LOL! ...and thanks for noticing my outfit...it made me feel wild and carefree...you know sometimes you have to dress young...to feel young...one day someone is going to come up to me and say..."The only thing young about you is your last name!" LOL! Ha ha ha! Thanks for watching and much love you in the beautiful Island of the Philippines! MABUHAY!!!! :)

[@furymarine4893]

Oh Maria! I want to hug you on this video. You take care and I can’t wait to see how the baby in bed goes. For sure, it will be great in your care.

[@PictureMaria1]

LOL!!! ...and yes so far so good! :)

[@katherinegeorgiou8811]

Very very good job. Pretty sure they’ll be just fine. Keep updates coming 👍

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you for watching...and they aren't doing as well as I'd hope...I keep prolonging the update and hoping I get more action. It was stated that it could take several months before anything happens so let's just hope that's the case. LOL!

[@svetlanajustniceorchids6442]

Hello, Maria! Good luck with those plants!) I would not cut it too))). Happy growing!

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you dear! ...and yes...I don't believe it would've been to her best interest...some of the growths were already at a pretty nice size and to cut may have caused them to abort them. I just wasn't willing to take that chance. So in this case we lay her flat and let nature take its course. Thanks for watching and hoping all is well with you dear friend! HAPPY GROWING! :)

[@ondrastolarik8331]

Hey, i think that you done right choise with the new grows. Really you doing great.

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you...and the feeling of relief afterwards confirmed that I do believe I made the right decision! Thank you for your feedback and your kind words! HAPPY GROWING! :)

[@kirsten5723]

Somehow my thumbs down is lit... I just wanted to let you know I would never give you a thumbs down! Love you and all your videos. 💚

[@PictureMaria1]

GASP!!!! YOU GAVE ME A THUMBS DOWN!!! ...I would've never expected that from you...sniff...sniff...tear drop... ;) LOL! It's quite alright. :)

[@thegreenthumbspet9963]

Any update on the propagation process??

[@junefiorito3691]

Why is it necessary to cut off all the roots from your Catasetum before planting it?

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

glad you took the safe way! hope she does well, and I hope the extreme piece with rot grows well too! good luck,

[@PictureMaria1]

...yea I am so relieved as well...I was really on the fence with this one...but many of you were on the same page with my views and although I can be bold at times, I really believed in this case the more subtle approach would be the most beneficial for this orchid. I am hoping that both propagations work as well..it would be exciting to see them survive and grow!

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Perfect! I would think this method should work amazingly!

[@PictureMaria1]

I REALLY DO HOPE SO! I am still keeping my fingers crossed just in case! LOL! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)

[@lillybee7168]

One wise orchid Lady...:)

[@PictureMaria1]

...either that...or perhaps a big ole scaredy cat!!! LOL! I just could not take the risk of losing out on a rarity...I would much rather enjoy the once in a blue moon opportunity of watching it grow! :)

[@Susan-mo9mr]

Hi Maria, how are they doing so far?

[@PictureMaria1]

I am anxiously waiting...but not much action at all! :(

[@ironwolf1402]

[@PictureMaria1]

awwwwww you are so sweet... and I know I've just been SUPER BUSY...BUT I WILL GET ON IT RIGHT AWAY! :) :) :) STAY AWESOME!

[@johnjhill3]

My gosh! If you had put that knife to your own finger I doubt I would have cringed much more than when you held it above that big psuedobulb! What a relief when you simply laid it in the moss box instead.

[@PictureMaria1]

LOL!!!! I KNOW RIGHT...IT WAS SCARY TASK TO HAVE TO DO...and that is why I couldn't do it!!! She was already growing some of her growths so beautifully so why bother a good thing....and I have to tell you it was such a sigh of relief for me as well...I'm glad and very happy I decided to to do it this way. :) P.S. I am such a little prankster wouldn't you say! LOL!!! HA HA HA! :)

[@eugene1038]

Yaaay, I made into the video))

[@PictureMaria1]

LOL!!! You brought about good information that made me really rethink my strategy. One of the reasons why I couldn't go through with the extreme propagation!!! I just couldn't risk it! Thanks for your input and your help! :)

[@eugene1038]

MY Orchid Adventures, you're welcome. Was happy to help :)))

[@janedoe8570]

Great job

[@PictureMaria1]

[@debbiesmith6344]

Hi i hope they all grow for you good luck .Let me know how many plants you get .

[@PictureMaria1]

THANK YOU AND ME TOO! I definitely will keep you posted ! :)

[@rhiannonhart3036]

is the moss wet or dry !!

[@PictureMaria1]

Wet.

[@janedoe8570]

You might want to make some holes for air

[@PictureMaria1]

No holes for now...I am actually sealing this with a lid to allow the moisture and humidity to further promote the growths. I will eventually transport into a container with holes.

[@TeaTimePopin]

You can slowly cut the catesum every 3 days 'so it slowly calsis

[@PictureMaria1]

Hmmmmmmmm...that is an idea...I would've never thought of that one....thanks for sharing, perhaps one day I shall give it a go on another experiment! HAPPY GROWING AND THANKS FOR WATCHING ! :)

[@marieloslarios2761]

Hurray nice end for a moment you scared me. Keep post of this case please. Maybe it woud help someone else

[@PictureMaria1]

YES I SCARED MYSELF TOO!!! Because I was seriously tempted to do the extreme propagation on it...but I just wasn't bold enough to take that risk. So I am so relieved I didn't let my adventurous side take over this time! LOL!!! ...and yes I will keep you posted! Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well! :)

[@TeaTimePopin]

So less water loss

[@PictureMaria1]

Hmmmmmmmm...that is an idea...I would've never thought of that one....thanks for sharing, perhaps one day I shall give it a go on another experiment! HAPPY GROWING AND THANKS FOR WATCHING ! :)
