Specimen Angraecum ALL ABOUT THEM

[@miche7032]

You seem to own a lot of specimen plants. That's a tall angraecum! Well, happy growing ! Thank you for sharing.

[@PictureMaria1]

Indeed some I've grown for awhile and have grown to be, others were lucky finds at garage sales that someone else grew for years, while some of them are not mine and are for sale on my eBay. This monster Angraecum was not mine...it sold yesterday to someone in Ohio on my eBay...it was bittersweet...but I have immortalized the memory via youtube...so its memory lives on through this video. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)

P.S. The orchids that I have... I've actually never owned...I fear, they've actually own me! LOL!

[@rafanosonverohanta4282]

This orchid exists in my country Madagascar, but I ask you what kind of substratum do you use ( pine bark?), next question: do you use fertilizer to make it bloom . Thank you for the reply

[@PIAMUSA]

You’re so pretty...love your thick hair...OMG....you are so right....what a beautiful orchid and bloom...Hugh.....luv the color....

[@PictureMaria1]

AWWWWWWWWW THANK YOU! You are so sweet! ...and yes I do love angraecums...they are fascinating creatures! :)

[@micheler3011]

Thanks for sharing all your information. Your orchids are lovely. Bless you!

[@patriciaedwards8177]

Thanks orchid doc,always very informative as usual..and sooo beautiful..b safe 👧.

[@huynhcindy512]

I have angraecum sesquipadale. Changed new barks. Recently and noticed the leaves turning lighter green.

[@TDMoorethanjustORCHIDS]

How's this Angraecum doing Maria?

[@PictureMaria1]

Hey there Terry, this one is no longer in my collection. I actually sold this one. 😭😭😭

[@izm8991]

I just bought the same orchid Williamsburg 76. Wondering what fertilizer does it need?

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

Fantastic😊 I love my Crestwood and getting to know my sesquipadale (if I spelled that correctly), that I purchased at Tamiami orchid fest last month. No spikes yet on my Crestwood but still feeling hopefull. Over the holidays, our home depot was sellIing Williamsburg for 79.00😐and I was not willing to pay that price. It took a while for them to sell. The store said that most went back to the vendor due to space and price. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.

[@PictureMaria1]

John had said that he went to one of the box office stores and found them as well, some with 4 or 5 spikes and he was fortunate to be able to snatch up a few because they sold out. Not sure though on how much they were selling them for...although I can say the bigger angraecums in general are a bit pricey...they go for a pretty penny here as well. I am hoping that your Crestwood blooms for you soon! ...and indeed good luck as well with the sesquipedale...(hope I spelled that right as well! LOL!) aka The Darwin's Orchid...I do love that one!

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

MY Orchid Adventures Yes, John mentioned that they were a lot cheaper where he lived...I hope I grow to love my sesquipedale😊, thanks big sis. Looking forward to those blooms. Happy growing...

[@PictureMaria1]

I don't know which I love the most about the Darwin's Orchid...the blooms or the story behind the blooms...He was an amazing gentlemen to stick to his orchid guns regardless of how absolutely mad people though he was...and to come to find out he was right all along...that is how important it is for us to stay true to who we are and what we believe it...they say that the best revenge...is MASSIVE SUCCESS! ...and I do agree! HAPPY GROWING!

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

MY Orchid Adventures They both are fascinating 😊 the history and the orchid....makes history come alive to have the story and that plant😊

[@caseyt4140]

My Darwin Orchid has been outside with bright light NO direct sun. I've had it sitting on pebbles to up the humidity factor. However, I've just noticed some sporadic black spots on the backside of the leaves. Is this a disease?

[@rubytaylor4075]

Is it true they stop blooming or growing for years if roots are disturbed by re potting?

[@richardlewis8911]

I have a Darwins variety and I’m growing it in an Inorganic media which seems to be working well. The only problem I’m having is algae growth in the pot. I’m thinking that it’s because I’m using a clear plastic Carry out soup container. Which is the best pot best for it?

[@PictureMaria1]

That is an awesome variety! The best pot is what works best for you! LOL! If it is growing well for you...the algae isn't really a major issue...unless it bothers you that much, then change it into an opaque container that isn't clear to keep down the algae growth.

[@teresacastano2924]

Hi I have a baby Angraecum Eburneum how long will take to grow up to be a mature plant

[@PaNdeM0niuM]

Love your hair Maria! Please do a hair care video!

[@PaNdeM0niuM]

What species is that?

[@clarissasagaille5018]

Love it! Great informative video, thank you!

[@OrchidandKitties]

you are so lucky.live in florida.I wish I can grow orchid out door year round.your orchid are very healthy at all time.

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you...and almost year round...in the winter I have to be watchful. I sustained severe injuries to my orchid because of the frost that we had...but you live and learn. I a way to keep my orchids safe during the winter...I am hoping for a greenhouse soon!

[@denisenoak9401]

Fantastic ang! The care tips were helpful! I have a Darwin with a bud!

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you for watching and I am glad that the information was beneficial for you! I love the Darwin's orchid...but I don't know which I love more...the actual orchid or the story behind it...He is a great example of how to go against the grain and go against what everyone else says no matter how much they put you down...always stay true to who you are and what you believe in...Bravo Mr. Charles Darwin...BRAVO!

[@EduardoCampos-qd9wj]

Yes they are phenomenal..I’ve seeing them around and they are kind expensive when they are mature specimens.I will get one someday

[@patriciasholarfreund4964]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about these orchids. Mine is a sesquipedale that is doing well.

[@adiposerex5150]

I am so glad you did this video. I need this info.

[@PictureMaria1]

YAAAAAY! I am so hoping that this video will be beneficial for you in your Angraecum/Angraecoid adventure! HAPPY GROWING! :)

[@orchidcasabyelizabeth3299]

a must have orchid! thank your sharing

[@cholotg9177]

Thank you 🙏 great 👍 informations 😍

[@PictureMaria1]

Your welcome! ...and thank you so much for watching! Hoping all is well with you and your orchids! HAPPY GROWING! :)

[@WildriftAssassin]

loved your angraecum, you have spectacular hair

[@j.qj.q6953]

Nice video. I currently have one with 3 spikes .its indoors and my wife says she loves the fragrance although I can't even tell 😂. Interesting to see that you nail polish looks just like in the video From the past 😁

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you! ...and it is awesome to hear that you have one with 3 spikes!!! CONGRATS! Did you smell it in the day time or at night...because usually that is when you can smell it the most...and how long its been in bloom can also effect its potency as well...and my nail polish is actually different. The one that I have on now is is a silver with different color confetti circles...while the blast from the past footage is clear with black and white confetti strips. They may look similar I guess because it has somewhat of a visual texture to the polish but different in color and shapes...thanks for noticing the polishes...you are so detail orientated! LOL!

[@j.qj.q6953]

MY Orchid Adventures Hi. It has been in bloom for about 5 weeks. I usually come close to it during the afternoon. My wife is the one that comes close to it in the evening thats probably why. I will be taking it back outside soon as I see it MISSES the sunlight . Once again great video

[@PictureMaria1]

Okay that is probably why...the fragrance is usually most potent at night because they are attempting to attract their night time pollinators. It will appreciate being back outdoors I am sure. Some of my orchids are dreading being indoors as well...they keep peeking out the window and reminecing about how good they had it outside. I think I will be putting them back outside soon...I believe we are now in the clear from any frost temperatures...at least I am keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)

[@johnbenedictorchids5207]

Excellent example of the 'Williamsburg' you have there, Maria. Quite a few came into South Florida earlier this year via Better-Gro, which were both in bud and flower with some having 3, 4 and 5 spikes. Though they sold out very fast, I was lucky to latch on to a few and had the joy of watching them open over a period of two weeks. Great luck with yours, Maria... I love how 'bushy' it is... ☺

[@PictureMaria1]

Thank you and that is so awesome! I am glad that you got to snatch some up! You always find the best deals at your big box office store! They are definitely worth having! ...and that monster den. is coming right along producing buds on almost every cane...I am getting so antsy to find out what it is! I can't wait! HAPPY GROWING DEAR FRIEND! :)

[@MRCOLEUBER]
