I acquired a variety of bare root orchids at the H&L Agro Orchid sale recently. But, what started out originally as a reel for Instagram, has turned into a mini tutorial for my KZbin channel, which I'm happy to share with you guys.
Today's video is perfect for the new orchid grower, as I'll be sharing a tutorial on how I mount and pot some of my new bare root orchids. I'll also be trying out something new.

Hi Precious ...bought some vandas years ago; they grew nice and tall, but never bloomed. They are now blooming thanks to you.....love watching your videos...Of course now I've started buying other types of orchids🥰

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Pat, you have no idea how happy💃I am to hear you say that watching my channel has helped your vandas to bloom. I can imagine how inspired you are that you are increasing your orchid collection. Thank you so much for watching, cheers and God bless you my friend🙌🙏🥰

Hello Precious ... Yes I missed your usual monthly video!! Then I felt reassured when I saw your new video come out - quite a few days ago!! Thank you so much for the tip on securing the orchid *ON TOP* of the media with a zip tie (I use these things to secure just about everything, but my panties!!). Ingenius!! Suddenly I find my "little orchid garden" chock full of keikis!!! And a few of them with buds to bloom soon. Most of my orchids are hanging in pots, with only a few potted in soil, or mounted .... but keikis and buds galore!! 💃 I'M IN HEAVEN!! 🎶🎵 I'm allowing some of the keikis' roots to flourish, before potting/mounting them. I'm making space now like crazy!! I only started growing orchids from late 2019 to date, and my collection is growing.

[@preciousbloomsja]

What a blessing my precious friend to know that your collection is multiplying🙏. I always look forward to hearing from you, yor comments mean the world to me Lyn.

Hi Precious 😊💕So nice to see you. Haven't seen you in a while. Great video. Thanks so much for the tips. I'm still trying to see what conditions work for different orchids. My phals seem to like hanging in coconut husk, my dendrobiums and oncidiums like clay pots, my vandas seem to like being hung bare root. My grammatophyllums seem to be suffering. I'm still learning how to care for them, My brassavola likes being hung on a mount getting morning sun but the cattleyas give me the most difficulty. I'm still trying to find the right conditions and watering routine for them. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Learned so much from you. Warm greetings from TnT 😎🌴☀️🤗💕

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Nicole, nice as always to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed my video. Sorry to hear you are having a challenge with growing your cattleyas. I used to kill them too but i have now found the secret to growing them. Keep watching my channel as i will definitely share the secret to growing cattleya orchids with my precious family, as i am sure others are havjng difficulty growing catts as well.

Hi precious I am glad for your info, I bought Catalyia 2time and this last one the roots turn brown now I dont know what to do , I put it in my garage but I am not going to stop I have four others dont rem their names they are doing well but they dont bloom as yet, I saw something coming up in the trunk of the leaves only hope it is ready for bloom, I will not stop buying small Catalyia, if they don't serve me well, I buy the large one, I am an editor to orchids but I love them.

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Sandra, I am assuming that your cattleya was being grown inside a pot and perhaps you overwatered it. I would not recommend you placing the cattleya inside your garage and especially if you reside in Jamaica. I find that mine do well as they are exposed to 70% sunlight. The one i placed inside the plastic basket in this tutorial is doing quite well and has given me new growth and even bloomed once. Once you get a new growth from your cattleya, as soon as it matures, it will produce blooms. Thank you so much for watching, cheers and happy growing🙌🏽☺️.

[@debbie8783]

Precious Blooms I would like someone to share his r her Jamaican experiences growing vanda bare rooted. I think I'm more interested in this method as it is reputed to lessen fungal infections as well as root issues among a few things. On the other hand, potting is said to lessen the need to water - a plus for the busy grower. Incidentally Ms P I met a successful grower who uses soil as his medium. I got 3 keikeis from him recently (God be praised).

[@preciousbloomsja]

Hi Diana, i do believe i shared 2 vandas that i have growing bareroot/ mounted together in one of my earlier videos. I did not really do a tutorial on them tho. I would love to meet this grower, is there any way you could assist me with making contact with him, perhaps through Instagram or facebook. This sounds very interesting, as whenever my vanda roots come in contact with soil they lose their firm green tip n those roots die after a while. Thank you so much my friend for watching, cheers and happy growing with your gifted keikis.

[@debbie8783]

@@preciousbloomsja Tomorrow I will ask him and if he is willing, I will be happy to assist u with the necessary info. If it does not come thru however I will share photos and maybe, plant one of the keikeis in a similar manner. I spent a lot of time researching the matter but all the experts recommend orchid barks, coal and pebbles. No soil.

[@preciousbloomsja]
