LED Light Experiment Results on 2 of the Same Cattleyas! (Gct. Lawless Gloriana)

[@OrchidWhisperer]

To view my video on how I use LED lighting with my orchids, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6vSaKF4g56MrpY There is info in the description box to this video about the specific LED lights I use, with product links. Have a great day! :)

This is also why all year outdoor orchid growers have more blooms and more often. Good experiment. Blessings from where the grass never grows and the water never flows. 🌵 😇

Hi 👋 Sharon! This was a fun experiment to do. I have 2 different Glorianas now! 😊 Many blessings from your friend who experiences 12 different seasons in 1 year. Lol! 😇🌵🌺🌸

Thank you ,Amy

Hi Amy. Thanks for sharing this video. It’s amazing the difference light makes. Blessings to you. 🙏🏻🥰❤️💐

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi 👋 Shirley! Blessings to you 🙏 my friend! I was wondering if your Tolumnias arrived safe and sound. Have a great day! 😇🐶

[@shirleyholt898]

@@OrchidWhisperer yes my Tolumnia and other three orchids arrived perfect. Thanks for asking. They hadn’t been shipped yet, but when they shipped they came in 2 days. 🥰

@@shirleyholt898 that's great news, so happy for you! Have a great Sunday, 😇 dear friend! 🌸🌺🐶

Fascinating, Amy! Now I have to try some LED lights! I always tell friends who don’t garden that gardening is part art, part science. Your experiment is both, the science in the implementation, the art in the beauty of color and shape and how to use them 💕🙏🌸🥳🙌

[@OrchidWhisperer]

What a great comment...thank you!! 😇 There's a lot of science and a lot of art 🎨 that goes into any type of gardening. You'll love LED lights. Takes growing to a whole new level. Have a great day, 😇 my friend! 🌺🌸😊

Love your experiment Amy, they’re both beautiful but all of the colors with the LED is amazing. Another good point for LED lighting! Thank you for sharing, that’s so interesting. Many blessings to you friend 🙏🏻🌼 Chrissy 🤠

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Chrissy 👋 I'm still shocked at the difference in the color. LEDs are amazing! Thanks 😊 so much for watching, my friend...many blessings! 😇🌺🌸🤠

......Amy,...such beautiful blooms on those healthy looking cattleya's .....I wish more growers would do experiments like this. .....and Paula is a wealth of good information......It shows that when we give orchids what they need, and the closer we mimic mother nature.....they grow so much better.......have a very blessed week.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thank you so much, Rick! I enjoy doing these experiments...you never know til you try! Paula's is even deeper gold than mine, I find that fascinating. I'm so glad she shared her video with me. I know where I use leds, the plants act like they're on steroids. Lol! And that's with quite a bit of natural light in my sunroom. Have a great day...always so good to hear from you! 😇

I am so excited to hear this video because it confirms what has happened to me with both my true CC (not my 100 year old CC) and my orchids. My orchids have bloomed. Three years no blooms, then I took your suggestion and bought two LED lights and now I have blooms. My CC has bloomed again and my two orchids have also. As I previously mentioned no blooms on my Tolumnia yet but I’m hopeful.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

I'm so glad to hear that your orchids and Christmas cacti bloomed under the LEDS!! 🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS 🎊Lenore!! Thank you for letting me know...that makes me 😊 Happy! Your Tolumnias will bloom...it might not be time for them to bloom yet. Mine have a set time of the year they bloom, and it differs from plant to plant. Blessings, my friend! 😇🌸

[@SS11660]

I find the same thing with my violets under led. The led often changes my red blooms to maroon or mauve. You never know!! Blessings to you also. !

[@hillbillyorchids]

Oh wow, your african violets change also? That's interesting 🤔 I may have to see what mine will do. 😁

[@SS11660]

@hillbillyorchids it seems to be red ones... the full spectrum grow lights have a lot of red in them so it kinda depends on the light make up t but mine do. I use full spectrum cool.

[@hillbillyorchids]

@SS11660 Ah ok I have cool and warm lights so wonder what the differences would be. Thanks for sharing 👍 I appreciate it. 😁

[@OrchidWhisperer]

I use leds with my violets as well. It completely changes the color intensity of the leaves and blooms. I have a purple one with pink spots called Star Trick...under led it has lots more pink spots. Thanks for sharing and have a great day! 😇

[@SS11660]

@@hillbillyorchids that would be really interesting to compare cool and warm.

[@hillbillyorchids]

Hey Amy 👋 yea it's wild how different LED lighting can make on a bloom! It's really interesting! 😊mine is so golden. The growstar light is strong led lighting. Thanks again for sharing Gloriana with me. 😊

[@OrchidWhisperer]

👋 Hey Paula! Yours is beautiful...I can't believe how gold she is! Thanks for sharing the type of light you use with yours...that's so helpful. Have a great 😇 day! 🌸🌺💐

[@tammyinnalabama]

Amy that was a great experiment! Such beautiful blooms with so much detail.🥰 I still have my cattleya in a western facing window and under an LED light. I sure hope to get a flower spike some day soon. 😊

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Thanks 😊 Tammy! This was really a fun experiment. You should be getting blooms with your Cattleya...I'm hoping soon! How far is the light from the plant...just curious? Catts need a LOT of light. Have a great day! 😇🌸🌺

[@tammyinnalabama]

@@OrchidWhisperer The light is in the same pot. About 10" above the plant. I'm not sure which light setting it should be on? It's on 12 hours a day.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

@@tammyinnalabama they need 12 hours a day. Do you have the small or large halo light?

[@tammyinnalabama]

@@OrchidWhisperer probably the small ones.

[@LizE2654]

That’s very interesting. What will you do in the future? Lights, sun/lights? Do you like having both shades?

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi! Yes, I love having both shades, so I will grow them the way I did last year. It's like having 2 different plants!😇🌸🌺
