I have a rossioglossum ampliatum formally known as oncidium ampliatum and it's a species orchid I've found very easy to grow and flower....and is very temp tolerant. The flowers on this orchid are the brightest neon yellow u can possibly imagine and the bloom period can last for months.....if you can find one of these they are very worth a spot in your orchid collection

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@besottedorchids3605]

I'm really enjoying this format 👍

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@marykincaid9148]

I like this format very much. It helps me gauge how I am doing with mine.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@wandashaw3551]

This format is great, and I do hope you decide to continue it. And giving the plant care tips is a big help, too.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It also forces me to take a closer look at each plant.

[@wilairat26atoady]

I have to say it again, yes I do like this format as it give you and us a good amount of info on each orchid. Plus you get a good look at your orchids conditions.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It serves a purpose like finding out that Miltoniopsis was in trouble. Re-potted that afternoon.

[@ravlyksorchidsgarden]

Great video! So much helpful information. Thank you!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks - and you're welcome.

[@sandragoodson1892]

This is my favorite kind of video.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@TheKawapinky]

Nice vid again, Roger. Thanks for the overview of this shelf. We are learning day by day. 😉👍👍👍

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@karlawoods2098]

Congratulations on the black hair successes. You must be very proud of them. I know you like Dendrobium. Everything looks good. Thank you for your time,

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Unfortunately, I have lost several black-hair types and may never be able to replace them.

[@fenellamtutu5986]

Good format, with info. On different plants. Can I ask, at this time of year the moss(zombi) doesn’t dry out much. However, I need to water them. Should I try to remove the moss?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

This is a problem with short days and low temps. Any media that hold moisture will probably stay wet too long. I'm moving away from moss (except for the mounted orchids).

[@hollys77077]

This is the type of video I love the most. I need to take notes. I learn soooo much from these. Also, Roger you have done an amazing amount of work with treating scale and mildew. Your plants are looking amazing. Does anyone understand why nobile type dendrobiums need cooler temps but BRIGHTER light in the fall and winter in order to set blooms for the next spring? No matter where they evolve on the planet, wouldn't lower light always accompany the transition toward cooler temps?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Deciduous forests? When the leaves fall, there is much more light and the temps drop as it's Winter.

[@carolesykes7955]

The nitida is coming along nicely. The bulbs are much bigger than the original plant you had. Don't forget your plan to treat everything with Bug Clear in the large sprayer, there's some very mild weather due this weekend.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

That task maybe 'today'.

[@galecunningham1250]

Nice selection y good to know about looking into pot beyond the pretty flowers when new. Ratus ratus? I had one too, walking right across the top of my rose trellis as I was looking out the window. It was going for a little seed bauble my girls had tied there for the birds. They are not native to N. America but are believed to have been brought here by ships from Europe.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Any rats around here are 'country rats' - they are clean bright-eyed creatures unlike the dirty sewer rats of the cities that carry all sorts of diseases.

[@roslynbarclay1000]

I have a tall dendrobium & I have it in a hanger. This works well as the canes can be tied to the wire hanger. However you may not have a place to hang it.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

There is no-where to attach any hooks here.

[@naomimittell4961]

Nice way to see a various.

[@zula6436]

I like this sort of video when you talk about your 🌱, it gives me few ideas/ tips on how to go about to grow better 🌱🌸. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻😊. I would be in such a panic attack , very afraid, absolutely hate those R “ creatures “ ( can even write their name) 🤫😬.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It also gives me a chance for a closer look at the plants.

[@orchidsbythelake]

Are the cats young enough to catch rats?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Maybe - but they are getting slower with age.

[@YnseSchaap]

Last week the largest phaleanopsis grower in the world closed its doors, energy bill too expensive, they churn out 40 million orchids a year !

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

And those that are left will just put prices up even more.

[@YnseSchaap]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai I'm glad I don't buy them 😁 oh wait that goes for all orchids 🤣

[@pennyhodge8758]

I really like this format too😊👍

Thanks Roger

You're welcome.

[@helenhawkins4054]

Nice one again.🤗

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@YnseSchaap]

I re-classed my cool growers as wet growers. The cooler ones seem to need a wetter environment then the warm growers (pot wise)

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Just seen the trailer for John Wick Chapter 4 and Hiroyuki Sanada (Last Samurai) is in it - 'master swordsman'. - YaY.

[@YnseSchaap]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai 😁 that sounds good haven't seen it yet but will do now

[@YnseSchaap]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Damn that looks good 😁

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Should be able to find a 'copy' of that mid-year.
