Stanhopea repot and a bday gift from my friend Paula.

[@orchidelirium9102]

Love Stanhopeas. They very interesting to look at in their vegetative state and the blooms are a bonus! Paula is just as sweet as they come 💗

[@robertforrest7956]

I like the new intro Justin. 👍🏻 I've got a few plants that need repotting, but just not feeling up to it, but they don't seem to mind..still growing great and blooming!! 🧐 I really enjoy my mini Bulbos, they seem to thrive in my case.😊 Hope your new heating unit is still working good for you, your plants are looking Great too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend Justin...next time kiddo. 😁

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey Preston, that’s a really nice Stanhopea that you got me. It’s a strong grower for sure. I really appreciate it.

[@donalddinsmore9746]

Happy Belated Birthday!! It's been great seeing more videos from you again.

Happy Birthday 🎈🎂🎁! Enjoy you new plants. Thanks for sharing.

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey Jo, thank you so much my friend.

[@Orchids365]

That’s sweet, plant friends are the best! Happy birthday 🎈🎉🎊🎁!

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey my friend, thanks for stopping by and the nice birthday wishes. Yes I have to agree, I have some great plant friends.

[@hillbillyorchids]

Nice report! I do like how you do mix bark and moss. I did mine mix of bark and husk chunks. But very cool. So glad you like your new bulbo. She is small so you'll have to baby it! It will flourish in your care! No doubt! Happy birthday dear! 🎂 🤗😊

[@prestonnorris9822]

Hey Paula how's it going? 🤗💚

[@hillbillyorchids]

@Preston Norris Hey hon it's good! Finally after antibiotics I'm better. How are you doing?

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey buddy, thank you for the nice orchid for my birthday. Your one of my best friends and I always appreciate anything that I get from you. I like to try different growing methods with orchids sometimes and hopefully that Stanhopea will bloom for me one day. I think that bulbo is very cool and uncommon. I like it.

[@orchidsbythelake]

Nice Paula! Bulbo is something I am not really familiar with but wanna lean more of. I am thinking to use coconut husk fiber like you are using the moss. But I don’t know where to get them. 3-4 species of Stans will be divided sometime soon!

[@hillbillyorchids]

Hey Yoshi you don't know where to get coconut husk fiber? That is how I did mine. Lined basket with husk fiber and then the plant. Works great. I can show you were you can get huge box husk fiber. 😊

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Husk fiber would work good in that method Yoshi. In fact I want to try some husk fiber next time. Bulbo’s are cool orchids in my opinion. I still want to get one or two of those Stan divisions in the future.

Hi Justin Happy birthday I you're enjoying your day 🥰 stay safe and happy growing 🥰 Reah

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey my friend and thank you. Happy growing to you as well.

[@marylalone7104]

Happy Birthday Justin😊

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey Mary, thank you so much.

[@deachen5560]

Great video. Stans are 1 of my faves. Have you had any issues with spikes aborting due to not having the room to expand in those types of baskets? I've got mine in wire baskets with large openings and so far so good. Just a thought. And the bulbo is a new one to me-those leaves are interesting! Love your greenhouse and its occupants.

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey Dea, I like growing Stanhopeas as well. I should have shown my other ones in the video. There was one time where I had a spike blast because it couldn’t push through. But other than that I’ve never had any issues. With that being said the wire baskets that your using is really the best way to go. You don’t have to worry about anything preventing the spikes from pushing out of the media and blooming. I will try and do some more videos on Stanhopeas in the future. I like that bulbo as well. The foliage is really cool. Hopefully I don’t kill it 😂.

[@TracMcNguyen]

Happy birthday 🎉

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey Trac, thank you

[@josephrapp]

Hi.I have medium size stanhopea and use 30-10-10;is that the right blend? Also thinking about putting in a wood-slat hanger...is that open enough to allow flowers to come through?Glad you got another!!! I like vandas too. Oh!!! where do you like buying from??? Thanks. J.

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey Joseph, that fertilizer blend is just fine. The higher nitrogen ‘30’ will actually help promote better leaf development. Wood slat baskets work just fine with Stanhopeas. I’ve seen a lot of people use them. With buying vanda’s I kinda just look around on eBay. I’ve gotten some from Orchids by the lake and Motes has some nice ones as well.

[@josephrapp]

@@justinsorchidsandmore4398 I appreciate your taking time to answer.I will look into other sellers, too,then. Wish it warms up soon there.

[@JuliePascal]

Do you have a shade cloth or something on the roof of the greenhouse or does it get direct sun?

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

I use a 40% shade cloth on my greenhouse and it gets a little evening shade from a big tree in my neighbors yard.

[@josephrapp]

Damn! Forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday......

[@justinsorchidsandmore4398]

Hey Joseph thanks I appreciate that.
