Overwintering Pleiones in the Fridge

[@herpaderpz]

"The best time to do gardening is when you think of it." Yes, orchid words of wisdom! I'll be getting up in the middle of the night if I start thinking I left them outside or something. Anyways, looove your videos! It's so nice to watch another person with O.A.D :)

Yani Singer Ha ha, Yani. Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@PlantzNThings]

great video! I will try the fridge method this winter

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+PlantzNThings Oh great :) I hope you appreciated my stylish attire in this video :)

[@PlantzNThings]

LOL... always... I am always gardening in my PJ's it's supposed to be a comfy hobby :)

[@ParchedPinemarten]

thanks for the video! this is my first year looking after pleiones and i wasn't quite sure how to set them up for their dormancy period, but you've given me a good insight.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad to be of service :)

You know, I always wanted to have a british accent, growing up on Sir David Attenborough's documentaries, I always get a sense that his accent makes everything so much more interesting and soothing in a way, like a story :) Alas, I cannot properly produce an accent, but I do enjoy yours and also your videos :P I'll stick to whatever accent I might have as a non English native speaker ;)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Dani, your accent sounds American to me. I would never have guessed that English is not your first language! An American friend has challenged me to do the 'accent tag' thing so I will. Maybe you will do it too! PS I have an Irish accent, not British - different country, long history of struggle ;-)

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Gardening at Douentza oh sorry about the confusion, just goes to show how tone deaf I am in this regard though... but I do love your accent :)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

MissOrchidGirl And I yours :)

[@KrookedOrchids]

Hey heard about this on your new giveway ! So happy i did i was debating how to keep mine this winter thanks for the great info!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

KrookedOrchids One of my first videos, Anna. I find this the best way to keep pleiones overwinter so that they reliably reflower :)

[@kotkamania24]

Like your video, thanks for all tips. I just get 2 white from friend so will try to bloom them. I hope all goes well.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Good luck with those!

Enjoyed this ,Dawn said there's " No way is she going in our greenhouse in her nighty "

Could you please make a video next spring how you get them out of dormancy? I had pleione formosana for 2.5 years, kept in fridge, they did not bloom. This spring I managed to kill them - it was an idea to use new substrat. They started to grow well and then lost all the roots. May be will buy them again after your spring video.))

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Lumka Yes, I will! This spring was just too busy to make the video! And I hope to have some exciting pleione news by then. Thanks for watching.

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you for sharing!!! Are they blooming for you yet?? I may get some of these beautiful orchids in the near future...I LOVE THEM! :)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hello Maria. I just potted mine up in the last week and they are back in the greenhouse so no blooms just yet! Yeah, why not get some!

[@ferncrafts993]

Very interesting! Is the flower of the bulf, the same as the picture at the end of the video? Either way,it was stunning :)

[@lynnbrooks5503]

Must be a British thing, gardening in our jarmies. My mum was always out in her dressing gown and she taught me to do it too. Now I’ve forgotten the comment I needed to make. The joys of ageing, eh?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

It may be a British gardening thing too but I'm not British. Thanks for watching.

[@marlinabasir]

I do my gardening on a Saturday morning without showering in my ugly shorts and torn shirt.I could care less.it's the only day I dress down. :)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Good for you, Marlina.

[@marlinabasir]

Gardening at Douentza thanks for the vid.Very enlightening!!

[@GardeningatDouentza]
