Thank you I got a massive mother plant for free and didn't know how to plant it

[@thenaturecompany]

That's amazing , I am glad we could help you make the most out of this amazing gift 💕

[@petrichor7121]

Loved this, thanks! Just started collecting epidendrum s and some failed and some are doing well. Now I know why! 😊 (I kept getting Trevor Noah vibes the whole video! Hahaha!!)

[@LoriSavingWild]

I just bougth some potted in 1 gallons and was hoping you were going to show how to repot a plant not a keiki. Do the purple ones do as well as the orange ones?

[@thenaturecompany]

You can replant the grown plant in exactly the same way . Just be sure to plant to the same depth as it was originally . I often find the purple are slightly slower and now quite as tall as the yellow . 👍

hahaha you are luck you got back out 😁but it is a beautiful country lol

[@damiettes7140]

So what if you are in Southern California where it doesn’t rain for 4-5 months at a time? How often do you water then?

[@thenaturecompany]

it will depend on your temperatures and humidity , the higher the temps and the lower the humidity the more frequently you will need to water . If you are 30 deg C and 40% Humidity you may have to water everyday

[@angieward7481]

Can an Epidendruum secundum be groen as an air plant...like a Vanda?

[@thenaturecompany]

yes it can just be sure you are spraying it often enough

[@AvitalvanPutten]

Is the media you added regular potting soil?

[@thenaturecompany]

that was one of the ingredients yes 👍

[@Ziggy-r6f]

Been growing them for years - soooooo easy and always flowering as described. Question: do you really fertilize it weekly thru out the year?

[@thenaturecompany]

yes I do .. i am in a subtropical and they are in active growth all year round here .

[@cherylpenn4509]

Awww, your lovely dog. RIP. Great video. Thanks. Battling to get min to bloom?

[@thenaturecompany]

are you giving it enough sun ? this is the major factor

[@cherylpenn4509]

@@thenaturecompany about half the day is sun>>??

@@thenaturecompany I have buds now... thanks :)

[@angie_richardson]

I am moving, can I take my epidendrum out of its pot and transport unpotted? I long will it last unpotted?l

[@thenaturecompany]

yes you can 💯just give it a good spray down and give it a good watering everyday until you repot , but they transport very easily . if it is cooler where you are you will not have to water so frequently .

[@OrderUpASeven12]

I don't know whether it's "the poor man's orchid" or rather one of the easiest orchids to grow either out of doors or indoors if you don't live in warm climates.

[@thenaturecompany]

😘 I think that's why they call it the poor man's orchid here because it grows so easily there is a lot around so they are relatively inexpensive and we don't need to spend a lot of money on fancy environmental control systems to keep them growing .. 😍

[@cherylpenn4509]

What medium do you actually use???

You're in KZN???

[@thenaturecompany]

yes we are in Kloof check The Nature Company on google

[@lettyrodrz9940]

How many times do you water those big epidendrums?? And, how many times do you fertilise them? I have one in a ceramic pot at full sun and i do not water it, but it is not doing good, can you help me? Thank you

[@thenaturecompany]

If your humidity levels are low then you will have to be sure to water regularly ... feeding once a week with an organic liquid fertilizer seems to work very well for me for foliar feeding . If you have a little more detail like temperatures etc I might be able to help you more specifically 👍

[@lettyrodrz9940]

@@thenaturecompany yes, I live on central florida in the United States, and what the white powder that you put on them? Can I buy any compost?
