Orchid Wrap & Aloe Vera Treatment - Encourage New Roots & Keikis Organically

[@AngelLerinsCollections]

I love you Maria❣❣ i did once and I do feel so grateful about your method I saw kekies from my Vandas that I have collected and to my adenium collections, and to my Dendrobium as well... thanks and God bless you my dear.

Hi Maria, I was at Animal Kingdom today and I just walked in and nearly flipped out. They had orchids everywhere that I NEVER noticed were there! All of them were growing in the treetops and on branches with tons of pseudobulbs and I just had to stop and take about an hour to just look up into the canopies of the trees entering the park and wandering around just spotting so many different orchids. Also, I was looking at a specific tree dedicated to just Vandas! it's a gorgeous sight to see, so if you ever go definitely keep an eye out. You never know what you might find!

WOW thanks for sharing...It's been so long since I been to Disney I can't even recall if I have ever went to Animal Kingdom...although I think I have...I just don't remember it as you have described it...but OH MY...It sounds so gorgeous! I am going to have to check it out. Also another great place to see orchids growing in nature is at botanical parks. There is one in Cocoa Beach where their orchids and other airplanes are massive and the tropical display and natural habitat is such a visual treat...and a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life. :)

I knew about aloe leaves to propagate plants as a sort of nutrient dense hydrogel medium, but I had never thought about it for orchids. Great idea!!! Thank you!! 😉👍

[@draco003]

Thanks for the update on the wrap! The aloe vera treatment is a great idea. I have two aloe vera plants and I might use it for orchid treatments in the future!

...your very welcome...It's been quite an adventure on all of my experiments and I've really learned so much venturing out into uncharted territory...my motto has always been... "How will you ever know...IF YOU DON'T TRY?"...and with that being said...stay tuned for more!! :) HAPPY GROWING!!!

I don't have a plant, but used 99.97 pure aloe gel that has been cold pressed, sold on Amazon. Been cleaning orchid leaves with 2 squirts in a little bowl of water, wonderful cleaner and makes shiny leaves. I used systemically also, saw some better growth

[@cutie022282]

That is interesting idea 😊 thank you for sharing it with us.

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you...and sharing is caring...now let's make sure we keep our fingers crossed and hope that it works!!! :)

[@rmcandlelight]

Hi Maria, another interesting video! Will stay tune on the outcome with the aloe hoping it works :)

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you...I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a breakthrough outcome...wouldn't it be great if we no longer had to depend on expensive keiki paste!!! I will keep you posted on the results. :)

I cannot bring myself to say "nubbin," If you ever hear me use it, that is how you know Ive been abducted by aliens and youre talking to my clone.

[@OlafDaiKhoMyo]

Very sensual, there are things going to happen! Love it.

[@PictureMaria1]

...sensual....ha ha ha....indeed we are making magic here!!! ...at least one can hope that perhaps the magical orchid fairy will sprinkle these orchids with some some baby making orchid dust...ahhhhhhhh...let the magic begin!!! LOL!

[@sumitabiswas6434]

Hi Maria, after putting the Vanda with moss, how to water the plant ? Please reply.

[@BaotransBotanicals]

Omg you have more than 2000 subscribers already! Woot!

[@PictureMaria1]

LOL!!! ...and indeed WOOOOOT WOOOOOT!!! I'm so thankful to have so many friends share in my orchid adventures!!! I'd be so lonely in my orchid garden without you all!!! :) Oh and I almost didn't recognize you with your name change and all...but I loved Orchid Dreaming...you had one of the best screen names!

[@rosannagreene6263]

Kudos Maria!!!

[@miche7032]

Great tips Maria ! I know that aloe vera has a lot of properties & I have a few of them . I'm curious to find out how they're progressing in a few months . Keep us updated 😊 . Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

[@duxgaming2312]

Dr. Maria what is that vanda that look like pine tree stem

[@ZanesWildflora]

this is a really interesting idea, looking forward to updates! but I have an idea about this whole thing, we won't know how much this aloe vera thing works, and thats because it would be great using the aloe vera for example only on the lower half of that bare stem and we would see the differences between :)

[@PictureMaria1]

....you do have a good point...a lot of things can play a factor in the outcome...I may need more rescue orchids to do a more thorough experiment...majority of times keiki paste is only put on the knodes or the bumps to promote the growth...I actually don't believe this is as potent as keiki paste other than it provides the plant with extra energy to promote more growth such as fertilizer would do...the healthier the plant...the more it will grow....and because you are adding the extra moisture to it...it should also stimulate roots to grow therefore allowing the plant to also get the most adequate amount of water needed therefore allowing the plant healthier conditions to thrive...I believe the wrap along with the aloe will stimulate growth in general by getting the plant healthy enough by providing it the most beneficial conditions to grow...and giving it the extra assistance to boost new growth. I have had these the two plants for about 2 months and the last sickly vanda shown for 6 months without noticeable change until now...so I definitely know that the wrap definitely encourages new growth in roots and at a more rapid rate...now the difficult part I guess would be to prove that the aloe encourages kiekis also...if I get good results from this I will have to do a more thorough experiment using this method again. Thanks for suggesting.

hi maria, ☺ so how is your orchid that has been sanitized by aloe vera?

[@loshinirangan3013]

Can you use honey for propagating

[@pixiedust2135]

Hello Maria...has there been any new growth after applying the aloe Vera gel on the orchid? Hope it's working out well and I look forward to another video regarding its progress.

[@rosannagreene6263]

Where are you in FL? I'm from Spring Hill. :) I really love ur orchids and love the way you narrate. :)

[@PictureMaria1]

I am in central FL...Kissimmee/Orlando area. Thank you for your kind and positive feedback. I do appreciate it! I am hoping all is well and HAPPY GROWING!

[@rosannagreene6263]

Oh I see. Thank you. :)

[@blopblop638]

[@PictureMaria1]

+Robert Kumorek HA HA HA! Well thank you for your very nice comment!! :)

[@buffbeann]

My parents just so happened to buy me 2 aloe vera plants

[@buffbeann]

i just cannot stand the smell of it though.

[@morphidae]

I love your ideas and methods but the creepy voices make it hard to concentrate and take you seriously.

[@PictureMaria1]

Gabriela Velasco ...creepy voice...OH MY!!! LOL!

[@bluefernlove]

There's nothing creepy about her voice!!! What IS creepy is a random stranger telling someone who is literally helping others to change her voice so you can "concentrate"... get a clue!

[@monocaliste]

@@bluefernlove I agree .. she has a very nice voice .. I think Aby is talking about the way of speaking (show kind ..) rather than the voice itself :) thanks for the videos
