Den. Tetragonum is from Queensland Australia sea-level (main 900mt) to 1600mt. On low tree and Rock. Don't let dry out. Cool to warm grower. To stir the pot a bit was a nice look at Orchids and gong session lol.

I thought the 'tune' was quite good - the tone varies depending on the amount of water.

Original from Maluku/Indonesia island, when the English was colonies Maluku for over 60 years.

Always enjoy seeing your orchid plants and you chatting about them👍. Glad to see your precious Dendrobium has a new growth ,yay ! 👏 Thank you Roger for sharing your tip of advice regarding the new growths & roots on the Dendrobium nobile. Good stuff !! 💚👏😊

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Some of the nobile type Dens have different growth habits - they're not all the same.

Plants are looking great. Derrick’s certainly have finally started doing well. Thanks Roger!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I didn't film Derek's plants - but I will do soon.

The title suggested you were being haunted by the ghosts of all the orchids you hedged over the years 😁

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I often think about orchids lost - and then I think about the total cost of those - and then I stop thinking about lost orchids.

[@YnseSchaap]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai 🤣yep the amount is staggering

[@lindaannb]

👻 😂 Ynse, that was my first thought, too!

Red Arrows were displaying at Southsea / Portsmouth for the DDay anniversary. My son sent me clips. Always impressive! Very jealous of your Hibiki - I’ve given up with it having killed two 🤷‍♀️

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I lost 3 before this one. I'm beginning to think some hybrid individual plants are just not strong - if you think of seeds you plant for the garden - there's always some weak ones. See you Saturday.

Why do a rinse type watering over a dip and/or soak?

[@richardlawton1023]

Just fed my Catasetum types while watching. Nice update Roger. Thanks.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks - and you're welcome.

LaTouria dendrobium for the Sunday chat

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Maybe...

[@judiearmstrong7439]

I would love if you would do,a video of the culture of the LaTouria type dendrobium I cannot get mine to bloom

[@LadyGeming]

If you wish you can talk about the following things on the Sunday chat: What is/are your favorite orchids and why? Do you dream of an orchid you wish to have? Which orchid you are most successful with? Why you use RO water instead of rain water? 😊

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Some good ideas.

[@FenellaMtutu-qh4hj]

I think I may have to wait a few more years until my orchid are as lush as yous. My Nelly Isler is proving to be really stubborn.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Nelly Islers are not easy to keep going.

[@anandhicooray5512]

Roger, when you use the same water that dripoed out, for several pots, does it pose any risk of infection spread? I've wanted to do this, but have been nervous to.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I use RO water and have a meter so pay for the actual water I use. Ideally, water would only be use once but the wastage is not acceptable. There is a risk but I've been doing this for many many years without problems. Many growers use a container and soak many orchids together or one after another all in the same water.

[@anandhicooray5512]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Thank you so much for your reply! I can rest easy when watering my orchids! I'm new to your channel and have learnt a great deal from you! Thank you Roger and my Very Best for your med tests and health!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@nancyjohnston4661]

I can’t get rid of my scale. It’s driving me crazy. Thanks for the video.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Probably the hardest pest to get rid of completely (along with Thrips).
