Please excuse our youngest daughter’s pterodactyl noises in the beginning of the video. 😅😂❤

Not a problem!

Viewers had to enjoy the commentary of the surgeon and assistant/camera-person during surgery. It's growers and good people in these groups who step up to help one another with concerns and hands-on of plants to investigate and remediate issues that crop up on our plants we so dearly care for. Thank you Tristan and Sandi for your efforts in filming and discussing this procedure. Hope the patient has a full recovery. Please keep the viewers posted. Respectfully,

Every time I’m chopping up overgrown orchid now I am reminded of Doc Tristan. Today I was reciting: Chop, chop…wait, better take some more off to be sure. I think this memory will last forever. ☺️

Another great video. Great camera job, Sandy.

[@emmanuelV37]

This was a great video!! Very informative and a deep dive into dividing up and cleaning an infected orchid. And awesome to have Sandy back haha!! A funny duo haha!

[@pauladixon-williams3246]

Wow! This was so informative and looks like a lot of work. I really enjoyed the video. ❤

We will be sure to check in with Sandy! 🫡

[@IngramOrchidsandMore]

🤞here's to hoping that this will be effective.

[@erin410s8]

awesome video!!! Random question...do you buy wire rods to make your hooks? what gauge and where to do you buy? I've only bought rolls of wire and I find it hard to work with... like that this one was already straight

[@huttongd]

Thank you for the informative demonstration, i really appreciate it! Also, where can i buy thise mounts? I love them, and really need one.

Inform Sandy that allspice is indeed its own spice and does not contain cinnamon. It tastes like a mixture of many spices hence the name, but it is in fact extracted from a single source. It probably works just as good as cinnamon. I just thought maybe she’d find it interesting to know there’s a difference.

[@marylalone7104]

Give us an update later on to show us how these orchids do please.

[@marylalone7104]

What would happen if you had drenched it thoroughly in a fungicide like Banrot 3-4 times? Would that have killed the black rot? Have any impact on stopping it without such radical cutting? Or would a fungicide have been ineffective? Great video!

[@IngramOrchidsandMore]

It's possible you could slow it down enough that the plant could theoretically partition off the affected tissues and isolate the infection. However, the chances are very high that it'll return. In our black rot video, I show an example of a plant I tried this method with. A Cyrtopodium and even with back-to-back treatments of Banrot/Ridomil, I still lost the plant to returning and advancing infection. The exception to this would be if you have just a small affected leaf with no disease advancement into the rhizome/stem tissues. In that case trimming infected leaves off well below the infection line and treating with multiple applications of an effective fungicide should do the trick. I did this with our Laelia purpurata that had only affected leaves and now the disease appears to have ceased.🤞

[@marylalone7104]

@@IngramOrchidsandMore Thanks for this input. I was inspired by your video to look closely at my laelias & catts that have had problems w/ black rot w/ the summer rains. Then started the surgery, your style. Ha ha, I looked just like Doc Tristan, chopping, inspecting, chopping more, etc etc. Great tutorial Tristan!

Waaaay too much... Gotta be a better way!!

You have it backwards, used to be conopsium, now correctly magnolia. Magnolia was the older name and took precedence.

[@IngramOrchidsandMore]

I used to believe this as well and learned it as Epidendrum magnoliae and assumed the same as you. I referred to Kew and apparently, conopseum is the current accepted species name and magnoliae is synonymous. I'm not saying you're wrong as I haven't seen where in the literature magnoliae was first used, but since I wasn't familiar with it I went with what Kew said.

[@Dracobear13]

It was about 5 yrs ago when i was told this by Marc Haradon (spelling of last name isnt correct) the orchid expert at NY Boyanical Gardens, but he could be wrong as well.​@IngramOrchidsandMore
