My Twinkles are always in a state if constant growth. Even when they are pushing up spikes they are also pushing out new bulbs. Mine are heavy feeders because of this. They’re heavy drinkers but that’s because they’re on my windowsill, taking my high Texas heat and nearly full sun.

Mine seems to be doing the same 😃

In the home, there wouldn't be any low temps to slow them down and, depending what part of the world, no short day lengths? If they want to grow, let them and help them along.

Know that it is,so very much appreciated 🌸 hope all is goung according to plan 🙏

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks. Most of the 'move' and rubbish removal is now done. Planning on moving across with the cats on Sunday - internet is getting switched ready for sometime on Monday. Orchids will have to wait for a while.

Thank you, very useful video as it addressed some growing conditions I have been wondering about 😊

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Nice set of twinkles Roger great care video and loads of information 👍

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

Hi Roger, do you find the different colours have different fragrances? My white gx has an edible sweet vanilla scent, where as my red/pink has a more vanilla soapy type smell, same for the yellow. Is that the case for you? Also what does your cinnamon smell like please.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

The Twinkle 'cinnamon' has more of a vanilla chocolate fragrance.

[@conrads_corner]

My Tiny Twinkle Gold Miner is in spike! I can't believe it has two spikes on a small seedling!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Most bulbs produce two spikes when growing well.

[@PetalsSepalsandSpines]

Around here they seem to always be doing something, even though they do slow down in winter.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I think the 'annual cycle' is imposed on them here due mainly to short day-lengths.

[@TrishsOrchidLife]

Always enjoy your collab videos. How would you recommend caring for twinkle if new growths are coming along with trying to bloom if grown in the home? Your usual adage? When in growth, feed and water well? 🌸❤️

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

If an orchid wants to grow, then it should be encouraged.

Can’t keep those sort of plants I always die on me
