With all your orchids you really need a small Green House.It will be your happy place😊

[@marissamaharaj304]

ive been using orchidcote 13.13.13. and I water my vandas everyday sometimes 2 times daily but ive ordered a fish and kelp fertilizer so when it comes ill be using it once a week, ill see how that goes

[@jjsdancer]

Hi there I’ve come back to this video because I ordered and have received the products on your list. My questions for you is now that you have been using this new regime for a few months, have you made further adjustments? How have your orchids reacted to the new recipe?

[@rosemarymaraj1903]

hi. do you use a ph meter and or a tds meter to monitor your water and how much of stuff goes into it?

[@nirulimbu8042]

Thank you so much for sharing your grt experiences 💕💕💕

[@mearlgallimore401]

Thank you Blanca for showing your beautiful orchids with us .i am a jamaican when i was living there i put my orchids on trees but now I'm living in new York in an apartment, i have a few small cattleya orchids i just put them in pots, should I fertilize them now? Thank you

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Hi! I am sure you can fertilize them now. I always fertilize mine year round. 🌸😀

[@BBQNBLUES]

Blanca; I realize your orchids are close to your living area, so you may not want to use this... but.. I'm a believer in Fish Emulsion.. the formula is only 5-1-1 so it shouldn't cause any harm especially for the Vanda's. Thought's ?

[@debramendivil2241]

Good Morning from AZ. I just started collecting Orchids and been trying save them. Your directions have helped. Could you show how the repot oncidiums or send me past video that you have done. Please.

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Hi!! Congratulations on starting your Orchid collection 🌸 I have several repot videos. I will be repotting an oncidium soon possibly in my live video tomorrow. Wishing you the best with your new plant babies.

[@debramendivil2241]

Blanca thank you

[@TheRealMrandMrsSmith-tr1wn]

Hi, i'm also from Arizona. I've started my collection Febriary of this year. What kind of media do you use and where do you keep your orchids?

[@AllAboutOrchids]

Lovely video!!

[@prathima3233]

Hi Blanca, always looking forward to watch your videos. You have so beautiful and healthy Orchids. I have couple of Phal, I am struggling to take care of them. I soaked phal in fertilizer with it's container for a day that started to rot the root after 2 days (watched video from another care taker). Any suggestions? Thanks! Happy Mother's Day!

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Pra thima oh wow! Sorry to hear that. I don’t soak any of my orchids. I just fertilize them like you see in this video. Too much water will rot the Phals 😞 i hope it bounces back. They are strong and will get better.

[@prathima3233]

Blanca, thank you for your reply! I live in another end of you, CA. Can you give me some of the best orchids I could grow here. We do not have humid weather here. Thanks!

[@zadyebanks4377]

Hi Blanca, Beautiful videos. Watch your channel daily. Please can you show me a photo of your maxillaria coconut orchids, I watch you repotted it a few months ago. Thanks

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Zady Ebanks hi!! Thank you!! You can actually see a video I posted and featured my Maxis in bloom. It’s in my March Update. Right now the blooms are gone but she gets featured there. This year I got 14 blooms from them.

[@sheilabroad8192]

So your Orchids don't mind the the cold water??

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Sheila Broad my hose water is not really cold... very hot in south Florida sometimes that waster is scorching hot. I’ve Never had an issue with my water temperature. 😊🌸

[@donnacone4714]

You use water from what water supply? My first time to watch your video 👍🏻😊

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Hi, I use well water. Welcome!!! 🌸😊

[@laurarethers5528]

hi, I'm also in FL, not far from you. Just to clarify, do you water your potted orchids once a week in addition to the weekly watering with fertilizer? are all your potted orchids in bark? TIA

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Hi Laura, sorry I missed this comment. In the summer I’m watering more frequently. I usually water my potted orchids once a week when I fertilize. Now In the summer since it’s so hot I water in between feeding. I’ll do an extra watering depending on the orchids. Oncidiums, Catasetums and others that prefer a moist media I water like on a Wednesday or Thursday and then I water again on Sunday when I feed them. Play it by ear. If the media is dry water a little bit. That should be enough and then when you fertilize them give them a good soak. I just uploaded a video on my summer watering routine. Hope this information is helpful 🙂

[@trangson998]

Does this fertilizer have an odor to it?

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Trang Son not the 20/20/20 but the seaweed kelp yessss😷 fishy LOL

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

I've found a couple of new products I'm trying. Both are from Blue Planet (they have their own website and they are available on Amazon as well). The first is a dry seaweed called Easy Weed, so you don't have the mess of the liquid or the smell and a little of it goes a looooong way. I do recommend it when your liquid runs out. The second is called CalMag Pro, which gives the plants nitrogen, calcium and magnesium (Mg is what you get from epsom salts) and a number of other micronutrients. Blue Planet says the CalMag Pro doesn't cause salt buildup in the pots, we'll see, so far so good I'll keep you posted on it.

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Michael McCarthy noooooooooo 🙀🙉 lol just when I have my routine 😭🤣 ok I guess I’ll have to make another video 🤣🤣 thanks let me know how it goes 😊

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

@@blancasorchidgarden no need to change your routine yet. (although I do _really_ like the powdered seaweed) Oh yeah, start watching your Phals from Peter Lin. My Phal bellina 'Red Apple' is just starting to push a spike, so yours should start doing something.

[@o_o8203]

I use "Grow More" 20-10-20 Urea-free Orchid Food and MSU Rainwater/RO formula; it supplies all the macros and micros between the two. P.S.: the micros are chelated in the Grow More, so you can use it as a foliar, which is useful if you have other plants 😊

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

I also use the Grow More, but it is one you need to supplement because it is missing some elements. Most notably, calcium and magnesium but also sulfur and molybdenum. The latter two aren't as important but you definitely need the Ca and Mg.

[@jaypalmer7855]

epsom salt haha
