World’s most niche houseplant? A beginner's guide to neofinetia falcata orchid care and culture

[@CutClean101]

I refuse to believe you only have a couple thousand subs. It should be a couple million. Keep up the great work!!!❤

[@studiotomby]

This gave me lifeee thank you 🙏

[@tiehonghuang5046]

I totally agree with you !

[@ezraraupach-learn862]

I'm sure if you made some of those pots or other small orchid pots for your shop people would buy them! It's cool how you combine two of your interests. Nice video :)

[@studiotomby]

Aw thank you! That’s my plan-I’ve got some more pots in the works right now and they’ll be in my shop soon ☺️

[@maxguntaniii5980]

I live in the mountains and these are just commonplace plants in our area so it's nice to see that they're also being valued somewhere. I just got inspired to gather some and plant them in small pots like you did. They do look good as house plants.

I bought my neofinetia falcatas from Orchids by Hausermann and have been quite pleased, but bought some sedirea japonica from Seeds by Engei in the past and was quite pleased with her work as well!

This is a really cool video keep up the good work bro!

[@studiotomby]

Thanks! Makes me happy to hear that :)

I’m fortunate enough to live very close to OrchidWeb’s greenhouse and love walking around their shop and smelling all the orchids. Finally caved in and got a Neofinetia falcata from them and can’t wait for it to bloom. The owner of OrchidWeb was very helpful on making sure I understand their care and your video highlighted a lot of the same care tips he did but I’m a visual person so your video was very helpful. Loved learning about the history of the orchid.

How lucky for me to be looking for videos on Neofinetia and come across your channel! I'm over 70 and I just subscribed! 🙂🙃

[@studiotomby]

Aw thank you!! It’s really a rabbit hole of a hobby but they are really nice plants :)

[@sadirabethea7687]

Awesome video! I just found your channel and your voice is so soothing and your videos always make me feel homely and welcomed. Like talking to an old friend. Keep up the good work, and can't wait to see more from you!

[@studiotomby]

Thank you so much! 🫶 all plant people are my friends

[@shueyi-rx7kt]

Very interesting! Thanks for the info.

[@studiotomby]

Of course! It’s super interesting to me…

[@jenniferrue7929]

While your video was packed with information, I wasn’t tempted to fast forward even once. Thank you for introducing me to this niche plant! And I totally agree with the commenter who said you should sell these pots in your shop.

[@studiotomby]

Thank you so much! I only had two in this video but now I have maybe ten... it's a slippery slope hahaha. There are a few of these pots in my online shop now, actually! : )

[@Running_Putter]

Love it. I have one vanda falcata now

[@barrycartwright8400]

I have just ordered online Neofinetia falcata Murasakitaishi . 😁

[@1iiiuuusss]

They are so cute! Would love an update when they bloom. I wonder if i can grow them in an area that doesn't have that much light (not much light at all). 💛

[@studiotomby]

Thank you!! I’ll definitely post an update when they bloom. You might need to supplement with a grow light if there isn’t much light!

[@mozigava3374]

Interesante! Muy buena explicación.

[@tran-vm3uu]

Thanks for info

[@l.beukema8570]

Great info!

[@WanderingBobAK]

Did I miss it? Don't recall you ever mentioning Kokedama? That is how they are grown in Asia. Kinda what you do ... but may help people research growing Kokedama. Great vid.

[@studiotomby]

Hi! Thanks for watching ☺️ This growing method is actually not considered kokedama-because this is a hollow mound rather than a ball. In Japanese this is either simply called koke (moss) or mizukoke (sphagnum). Kokedama is a growing method better suited for terrestrial plants that I hope to make another video on in the future! 😊

[@ot7stan207]

I actually give these super high light , the variegated ones need more but I have a tamakongo straight up against the east window. direct sunlight for six hours if i can get it

[@studiotomby]

Interesting! Where do you live? I’m in zone 10b so my plants would definitely cook if I did that 😅

[@ot7stan207]

@@studiotomby foggy san francisco! Ive got it made here for orchids haha

[@darleenton4256]

Wow I love it

[@studiotomby]

Thank you! ☺️

[@kathleenross7412]

Hi i was wondering if you have a video on how you made this i saw that you mentioned a mesh pot is that in the middle and moss around it thanks
