Day 2 of orchid nursery hopping at Krull-Smith Orchids. An educational tour with Julien Baruch.

[@BBQNBLUES]

Nelson; Jan 4th I fell (in my home) resulting in a 6 month hospitalization including rehab. Upon returning home, discovered 70+ dead Orchids So Many were from Krull-Smith. Thank you for sharing this Tour as I can only dream of what "was" my collection.

[@naturenel]

Awe man! That’s so sad to hear. I hope you’re recovering well since last time we spoke. I knew about your surgery but not the loss of your orchids. I’m sending you lots of love and blessing. 🙏🏼🫶🏼💪🏼

[@BBQNBLUES]

Looking on the positive side. Only have 12 Orchids now, so watering isn't a chore. @@naturenel

[@growingorchidsinjamaica]

Phew!!! that was awesome. 💃💃 I had such a great time visiting with you and now watching the videos brought me even more joy. It was a truly wonderful experience which will always be etched in the forefront of my mind. Thank you so much Nelson, Luiz and not mention Julien and the Krull-Smith's family. Our viewers are the best and we certainly are feeling the love. I really hope we can do this again. Same time, another place, next year. One love mi newest Jamaicanized friend. 💖💖🥂

[@naturenel]

I had such a wonderful time with you! I felt it was way too short. Next time I must plan for more days than just 2. These experiences are never forgotten. Moments like this are the reason to continue my channel and engage even more in the orchid community. We are so blessed to have had such great hosting by both nurseries. A real treat!🤗It shall be repeated. One love always!☝🏼❤️🌎

So Sebastien, tell me how you really feel about Phalaenopsis. Lol! I get what you mean. I love them too. I know allot of people whom been collecting orchids, they will stop buying them but for me they will always be my first love. I’m glad this episode filled your joy for Phalaenopsis. Being there in person with them all is a wonderful experience. Usually that Phal section is bursting in a sea of blooms. Hopefully I’ll be able to capture it when I go back in April. Thanks for you very enthusiastic comment. It out a smile on my face🤗

Hi Nelson 😊💕This video was awesome 🤩🙌 I started laughing when you said "we need a doctor for the doctor," 🤣 She was really in awe. I'm so impressed with Krull Smith. They really seem to be ahead of the game with the science behind the orchids, the different crosses, the awards, Julien is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I learned so much, I saw crosses with vandas and rhynchostylis and I saw phals with spotted leaves. I saw rhynchostylis gigantea in buckets. Does it really get that big? 😳 I bought a few seedlings here at home, I didn't realize they got so big, now I'm not sure where I'm going to put them 😶 Loved that sea of cattleyas, especially the Tigrina with the bright pink lip🤩 Appreciated this, thanks so much for taking us along with you. Warm greetings from TnT 😎🌴☀️💕

[@naturenel]

Hi Nicole! The doctor almost had a heart attack with so much beauty. She was so excited through and through. Krull-Smith facilities are very exciting to visit. They have an amazing system in growing and cultivating orchids. I believe they are the #1 hybridization center for orchid crossing. They have earned more FCC/AOS awards than anyone in this planet. Pretty impressive if you ask me. They cross the impossible and surprise us with amazing new flowers. Don’t worry about the seedling. They do take a while to reach full growth. As you heard in the video it takes 4 to 5 years for full growth. And yes, the Rhynchostylis gigantes get “gigantea”. Lol! They get huge. All in all this trip was a very big success. I can’t wait to go back. 🤩

[@bibicheknauf4163]

😱what an amazing tour and Julien is the best. I emailed him and I am going to be able to purchase ALL the orchids on my list from your video and they will bring them at the Sarasota Orchid Show which will save me the shipping cost. They really are great. Thanks to you, I am going to start 2023 in a hole😜. Happy New Year to you and Luiz🍾

Nel you need to let Julìan know he needs to set up a business like this in Jamaica(small scale)we need variety like those shown.when you think you have seen it all.very beautiful.

[@naturenel]

Well that would really be up to Mr. Frank Smith. Frank is the owner of Krull-Smith. He has been running this facility for almost 40 years in Apopka, Florida. I don’t think he has any intentions to invest in other locations. But one never knows. Perhaps the future of Krull-Smith will expand to other locations. That would be great. 🤩

Hello!! I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you. Could you tell me why some buds of my cymbidiums die before opening the little flowers. I opened a bud pocket because I saw it with some spots from the inside and when I opened it all the little flowers that were growing fell and inside there was something sticky and brown, also that in some areas of the floral stem when I removed the cover that they have. 😢😢 so I don't know if it's a bacteria or a plague. I hope you help me. Thank you 🎉❤

[@naturenel]

It seems you have a bad case of thrips. Best thing to do is start spraying your buds with Sevin insecticide every other day for at least a week. I do make a 3 in 1 of Sevin, Orthene, and Permatrol at a ratio of 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Spot spray the buds with it. You can also use it all over the orchid plant if it has mites or any other pests. It’s very toxic so wear gloves and don’t inhale any of the fumes. Spray outdoors. Never indoors. If you use Sevin alone you don’t need to protect yourself. It’s very safe on its own.
