I also have several..I do wipe down with Burt bees baby wipes and I haven’t had any issues with that…I do sometimes use a homemade insecticidal soap with distilled water and peppermint Castile soap..I have had one die back but it is regrowing well..I am an overwater person and I can’t do self watering pots I do check the soil regularly and water when my meter is just at the beginning of reading dry

Hi Kristina! I haven't done the baby wipes, but that's good to know. The homemade insecticidal soap is my go to as a preventative, that seems to work well. I have a couple not doing so hot, that rattlesnake is giving me a hard time. When it looks like it's going to be fine, she looks at me and say fooled ya! 😂 I've tried using the moisture meter and it works well for my big pots. I do love the self-watering though for these plants. It seems to be going well but you know how plants are...only time will tell. 🙂˚˖𓍢ִ⁠໋🍃✧˚.💚⋆

At first I thought you were going to talk about Leontyne Price or Jessye Norman or Kathleen Battle but no, we are talking about another kind of divas 😂🙏🪴

I let my water sit for day and a half. I sit the water around my plants. Water is heavy and expensive. My plants are doing Gorgeously. 🪴Happy Planting🌿

Great tip, Ms. Lady June.

Your video went off halfway.

[@justaplantroom1393]

Hi and welcome! Sorry the video cut-off for you. I did check and it played all the way through. I hope you'll try again.

[@sharonholmes4444]

I have the first two you showed and that's it. 🫣😂 However I do propagate once in awhile, lol. Mine are on RO water and super-thrive bi-weekly up high on a shelf in my grow room with a 24/7 ceiling fan on them and pushing up scrolling new leaves all the time. 👌🤞 They love my super thrive I believe. I'm that orchid lady in Arizona 😂🌵 I use a TDS meter to check the PPM in my water and fertilizer. My Orchids love it so evidently my greens do too. Sorry so long...

[@justaplantroom1393]

Hi Sharon, nice. They are very pretty plants. I have not tried to propagate them yet. I haven't used super thrive in a minute but I do use foilage pro and the seem to do well with that. Just FYI, the orchids seem to be doing a little better but I have come to the realization that while they are beautiful they just might not be for me. I'm going to keep trying with them though 🙂.

@@justaplantroom1393 They need a lot of Calimag to keep them strong and healthy. I use 20 drops per gallon with my better grow orchid fertilizer. Just flushed my phals today with Calimag. Seaweed extract keeps the roots healthy as well...30 drops per gallon. Don't give up...btw I only water/fertilize/soak them every 10 days here in the desert. A big soak and then total dry-out. 😂 Love my orchids best of all. 🌿 🌺 🌿
