Hi Nelson. Medium is very expensive here so when you have a lot of orchids to repot it can be overwhelming. I try to use fresh medium as much as possible. But sometimes I can't so what I do is desinfect medium of plants that are healthy by putting it in a bucket and spraying a good amount of Physan 20 or SA20 in it. Then I pour boiling water to cover it completely. I let it stand until it cools down. Then I pour the water out and reuse the medium. My orchids hardly ever have died after this method, but I sure saved some money 😂😂😂
@naturenel6 ай бұрын
That sounds like you have had success with what you’re doing. 👍🏼 I totally get it. I’ve put my pots in peroxide for a good 30 minutes and then dry out in sun. All that to save a pot I really liked. When I discover any viral infection, I through the entire thing out. Pot and all. But if you go the extra mile, you greatly reduce any possibility of cross contamination.

Thank you for this great video Nelson. It’s a lovely change for us not in the USA. The shows you go to are wonderful and inspiring but a lot of the orchids aren’t available to us in Australia. Maybe other countries but not here. I love the tours of your own collection too but repotting videos will add a lot more interest to your channel as well for us overseas. Love your channel. Love your outlook on life ❤️. Where’s Morris these days? And I miss Laz too ☺️. Many blessings to you Nelson 🙏. Carole.
@naturenel6 ай бұрын
Thank you. I always have so may things lined up for my episodes. It’s hard to get to everything. Plus the demand for me to be at shows has grown greatly so time is of an issue. Reporting for me I usually do in between work so I never get a chance to record it. I’ll try to squeeze more potting in the future. Morris stays at my neighbors. Every time a male cat decides to stay here, he goes back home. Morris does not like other cats. So he leaves when new ones show up. Ever since Bruce showed up, Morris only comes to visit me at night when Bruce is away hunting.
@iBme-uBu6 ай бұрын
Morris likes ALL your attention obviously. He’s a little sweetheart. Reminds me of my cat Max I had for 17 years. He had to be around telling me his stories whenever I was busy doing something. Never any pressure to produce specific content Nelson. I love everything you do anyway. Just remember to always try to make time to smell the orchid flowers (smell the roses ☺️) Although us your viewers are important to you, you take care of yourself and those you love first.

I gave up on all plastic pots. Here in my area it’s way to wet and humid. I use to kill all my Carrleyas and could figure out why. Always root rot. Terracotta is the best for potting. Also any pots with lots of openings. Charcoal and lava pretty much works with most orchids. Most master growers I’ve been visiting all use lava and charcoal.

Hi, Nelson great video but please keep an eye on it. My orchid society never recommends glazed pots for orchids because the roots won’t breathe. You need an unglazed pot for orchids. Years ago before I joined an orchid society I lost a few since I kept them in the glazed pots I got them in at HD and Lowe’s. I eventually learned that Better Grow puts them on those pots to make them look pretty to sell but it’s not advised not to keep them permanently. Good luck with this beauty.
@naturenel6 ай бұрын
Hello. Glazed pots with multiple holes are fine for orchids. You should not use regular glaze pots for orchids. These types of pots are sold at all orchid suppliers. I truly doubt the industry would allow sales of these pots at orchid supply stores knowing it’s not good for orchids. The pot I got has plenty of drainage holes everywhere. Plus I use only lava rock and charcoal. It should be fine.

Hi Grisel. Yes that’s the cause of allot of death when repotting. It’s always good to leave about a finger from cane and root above the medium. That’s why lava rock and charcoal is good cause it won’t hold all that moisture. I really like that pot from OFE.

Just repot them in New Zealand Spag Moss. I only use that for all my phals. I always place styrofoam bits on the bottom for extra drainage. It’s a good balance between good drainage and moisture retention. Just don’t water as often. I let my phals dry inbetween waterings.
