THE FUNNY WAYS I GROW ORCHIDS: THE MOUNTS, THE POTS AND BAGS 1080p

[@fisherchi]

Very creative ways to mount orchids. The "diapers" are a clever way to trap and slow down the water from escaping.

[@20greeneyes20]

What a great ideas with the hanging Orchid attached to the wood and Moss and the pots on their sides. I could do that and I can't wait to do that. Can also be used with ferns. LOVE IT !!! All of it.....

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Thanks so much for sharing all your FANTASTIC tips on how you grow and mount your Orchids Brad and sending you heaps of love and happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful weekend XXXX

[@kimberlyoboyle451]

There is still so much useful information and innovative ideas in this video. The orchid diaper is unforgettable, and the sideways pots seem to be working really well, I like the nice natural presentaion!

[@monica11760]

You have come up with some very clever ways to meet the individual needs of your orchids!

[@earthman4222]

Very cool. I have a dremel and can cut through anything. Diamond bits under a stream of water to get through ceramic, wood carving bits to get through unglazed pottery. Anyway, you gave me some ideas. Thanks.

[@melissarushing2538]

I like the way you hang or mount your orchids more like the natural way it would in the wild. The Phalaenopsis is beautiful w/the huge leaf. I haven't had the best success w/potting my orchids in media so, I'm thinking about mounting them all on a good sized piece of bark and see how they do. I'm determined to master growing orchids like I have all my other plants. I need your prayers. LoL

[@patriciamontoute8913]

Brad. just LOVE your ideas in this video. I live in the Caribbean and, have quite a few logs hanging about.I did mount a few on some logs. I saw how the orchid loved hanging DOWN (don't know the name). However, your ideas are GREAT. I will try to hang my orchids down. Just found your channel. Your enthusiasm is catching and. explanations understandable. Many thanks. Stay good.

[@halohalo7425]

Thank you for always keeping it real, interesting and affordable! I have been thinking of hanging sideways and upside down, plastics and all. I live in a dry climate with high humidity. Many blessings

[@lanastar8451]

I just Loooove you 'Funny Ways" . You are so creative!!!

[@stevenmurray7809]

just started my collection with a phalaenopsis and a oncidium orchid. lots of great tips from your videos and so much inspiration. your doing a great job keep up with the videos ☺☺☺

[@celtgunn9775]

So awesome to see the great variety of tricks you've got up your sleeve.

[@VeganDoris]

Thank you - lots of great ideas! I just bought my first orchid 2 years ago and it’s outgrowing the pot, so I’m looking for creative ways to repot or mount it.

[@blinkbunny9781]

Thanks for sharing. Always a joy.

[@colleenveronicabateman5614]

Thank you for the amazing ideas... I love orchids mounted orchids...

[@JonathanTeets]

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm going to rethink my whole strategy!!

[@marthanewsome6375]

Have you tried a tiny water bottle with a hole and a natural rope to the back that leads to where the plant is planted. The wicking effect will keep the orchid watered longer. You could attach the bottle to the lower back at the bottom. Also if you use a wood mount to make it waterproof on the back and bottom, just paint those areas with a few coats of silicon.

[@losism]

Off to the lab with new list of experiments! Thank you ya genius!

[@Petra-ms3ku]

You’re a freaking genius!!!!! Thank you for this.

[@miche7032]

Nice ideas although I'm not fond of mounts . I like the idea of putting the little mounts inside a container as well as the "diaper one" oh the side way ones are cool too . Thank you for your tips .

[@emmanueldaraan9080]

Dora Miss

[@joyjs857]

Just caught your video and was so impressed by your ingenuity. Will be using some of these ideas. Thank you

[@susangage9140]

Love the way the phals hang sideways!! Some great info

[@carolhedge6537]

Very good tips and tricks! 🌷

[@lillianelliott1868]

You are so smart I cannot believe all the things that you can teach us in just a few minutes thank you so much for your videos I really enjoyed them I don’t have half of the orchid you do I only got a few but I had 27 and now I’ve only got maybe 12 because they just are dying Still trying to learn more about them I love orchids

[@BradsGreenhouse]

thanks! lots to learn still myself

[@ingridfoessl1075]

Thank you for this very interesting Video.

[@christinavandewiele7925]

Voice is so soothing

[@TropiChic]

That phal arrangement is the most logical I've seen. I'll try it!

[@theoriginalaquawoman]

Thanks for taking the time to make another great video! Very informative.

[@ritaparker9697]

Love your thinking. Have you ever planted in a onion bag or mesh bag?

[@kainso3894]

I love your box tape tricks! Brilliant

[@leahsandow9300]

Fantastic ideas

[@ferncrafts993]

really enjoyed watching this video, lots of great ideas! Thanks for sharing Brad!

[@dartist64]

Hi Brad, have you considered using bonsai wire to mount your orchids? The Wire comes in a variety of gauges and it's very pliable easy to use and can be reused as well. It also blends well into the background, wood or moss etc...

[@livingwithplants6043]

Thanks for sharing, luv your greenhouse.

[@aliceborolien]

Amazing videos 👍🏻😊 Realy love all of them,and I learn a lot ✌🏻 Thank you very much from me in Norway 😊

[@hagridcat]

Love the idea of hanging phals. I may have to give this a go!

[@PamelaEDean]

Terrific video. I love your ideas. Am inspired to experiment some on my brood. Thanks for showing us your tricks!

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Thank you Pamela, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the support as well! All the best Brad

[@helenapeterson2261]

Interesting video. Thank you for sharing.

[@marymclaughlin2613]

you are so clever....so many great ideas

[@lizpackett9017]

I need a greenhouse lol

[@brandnewyan1996]

Quite interesting. Wonder and hope there are videos to demonstrate the creation of the mounting technics.

[@growingthings6232]

thanks Brad nice ideas for mounted orchids !!!

[@Claire-yz4hx]

And bread bag! You are creative!

[@kellyduguay3368]

Claire Shen ...right! That bread bag will be a game changer for me!

[@lynnbrooks5503]

Interesting. I too hang pots on their sides and have had trouble keeping them moist. Now I know what to do. Thanks Brad..

[@augustwestusa]

Great ideas! I love it. I don't like having my orchids held up with a stick. So I've been experimenting letting them flop over, not sure how they like it. Your video has given me confidence. I love the side of the basket idea. Only thing I might add is a little wicker basket on the outside simply to cover up the plastic and tape. I wonder if that would work? Can't wait to try it. Thanks!

[@MagicValleyCreations]

You are a GENIUS! I lust try some of these!

[@JohnMartinez-sm1sk]

I have found that on the smaller orchids I cut a sponge, glue it to a branch then attach the orchid. When you water the sponge will absorb water a keep the orchid wet longer

[@bmell1252]

I looked through the comments & didn’t see anything about it, but I thought perhaps you might know and could inform me. 😊 (Brad’s not the best at answering & I guess I’ll have to find his other video on this). Anyway, the “gutter guard” baskets ( 6:40 thru seven ) also have blue sponge(?) and the other basket has white whatever(?) ...🤔um, scouring pad maybe? Do you know what this is? I thought it might/could even be made of pool noodles. What do you think? Whatever Brad’s are made with, it sounds like you’re a fan of using a sponge... this way? That makes me think of growing one on a sea sponge. THAT would be really handsome! Best regards & happy growing! Thanks so much! 🤓☺️😊😁

[@Beansie]

I've got a phal with GIANT long roots I want to mount. I'm a little nervous about it though since they are SO long. I'm new to orchids and after several months of no growth (and no death yayyy) I really wanted to see the roots more for observations. AND I wanted to discourage the fungus gnats that want to set up shop in the bark mix I use. I've got him unpotted now and looking for a suitable mount...not sure what I'm going to do next. I live in WA state so the humidity should be alright...maybe I should park it next to the humidifier? I'm rambling and thinking at the same time...I'll go now lol!

[@asupremum1246]

I'm going to have to do some hanging side way pots. Those look gnarly :)

[@theta360s8]

I have lots of orchids in large clear food tubs, the air roots are getting out of hand so I'm wondering if I can now mount them on large pieces of reptile bark so they air grow?

[@robobin]

That last one was wonderful! I wonder if I could mount a staghorn that way

[@TrishsOrchidLife]

Such cool “potting” ideas!

[@orchidlovewithjohnmassageo9665]

Brad! Brilliant episode, i love the many ways you create out of the box. i am inspired once again. one of the main issues i have in my yard with the orchids is they dry out very fast, as i live in the hottest part of Maui, and in one of the windiest as well. i am going to experiment with some of the ideas you shared in this video. thank you love your channel always such a pleasure to see what you are up to next in your growing world.

[@greetingsfromchilliwack5702]

Your videos about orchids are amazing! I live on the West Coast of BC where it's very moist, we call it the Wet Coast. I want to try to hang some orchids so I'll be watching all your videos to find out how.

[@thihoatran2272]

But now the bids on lower part of stem r drying up what causes this does anyone know. Thanks hor ur help

[@nenavienneau5872]

Hy i am new just started with orchids I live in Canada I won’t to know where I can buy orchids thanks

[@4698mags]

whats your mount from? I have mounted orchids, phals, cattleya mostly, a few others in between that would not mind, I use teak, west indian cherry wood, poui, and sapodilla, for those who dont know some of the names check it on google, and mostly all my orchids get morning to midday sun, I like your mounts though, I water them once a day mostly in the afternoon around four to five as long as its not rainy season, i live in the caribbean

[@amybumstead6475]

I like longer videos!!

[@sujathabnair3893]

nice,ideas can change not our life but ::their;;;** life too

[@adrianmoleybrewer]

I love your vidios so much!!!

[@nimminimmi9062]

Very creative work sir, good.

[@Misslou2425]

Do you think a phal schilleriana can be mounted on a piece of clay pot with some sphagnum moss perhaps? I have a large clay pot i could crack and mount it on...( the phal schilleriana is just not doing anything in its pot. not dying. not growing...nothing😕

[@espo1848]

YOU ARE ORCID EXPERT AND VERY CREATIVE.

[@indoororchidsandtropicals358]

Have you ever moved a well established monopodial from a pot into a basket? (in this case, I want to do it with a sobennikoffia). These have big fat roots like vandas/angreacum sesquipidale etc. I want to go media-less or with some kind of intent media. But I think basket culture may be good because the roots don't want to stay in the pot anyway.

[@axtrait]

Great work 👌🏼

[@xgroupblue]

how would you repot one of those pots. The roots looks so crazy.

[@trkbird]

One of my all time favorite videos! Will watch from time to time to get some repotting ideas... Have you ever had a lockhartia lunifera? I can't seem to get the potting media right on him.

[@ferncrafts993]

Great job Brad! I grow my Vdp. Little one upside down too:)

[@chitibusu]

Hi. How often do you water the orchid at 6:25 please? Thank you, beautiful greenhouse!

[@girliehanooman2022]

I enjoyed your videos but I would like to know how do you call orchids that their roots grows upwards like tiny spikes

[@CC-zd6nv]

I love the side pot having phals, what kind of potting media are you using for the hanging phals?

[@cappilug]

Can't I put my orquid in a log like you show? Thanks

[@nicolamarini]

mhhh i have to try every kind of mounting before knowing what an orchid need , i suppose.

[@Aasiat82]

nice video i got many good ideas now (like the video) thanks :D

[@Claire-yz4hx]

Hahaha give it a diaper!

[@belindaroca4577]

Hi Brad... love your videos. Have learned a lot. Do all dendrobriums need a winter rest?

[@brodysayle8908]

Great video Brad! :D

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

If you would kindly, please list all the plant species shown in this video so I can collect them, dozou!

[@hoaduong7364]

Like you ideas

[@devinsgewachshaus3263]

Hey Brad! Nice video as always. My Lepanthes are also planted in that container method. They are doing very well in the little Greenhouse inside my big one. Look here: www.flickr.com/photos/142394355@N04/albums/72157667726390341 Thanks again for your informative vids.

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Nice work, they look great! How long have you had them?

[@devinsgewachshaus3263]

Thanks Brad. I got them in March 2016 from the international Orchid Show in Dresden, Germany. They are also from Equagenera.The telipogoniflora is flowering so nicely with three flowers, the tentaculata with 7 flowers and the manabina has just opened one nice black flower. They are very easy to take care of.
