The Plant Monster 🌱👹!!! I can’t help myself-March Orchid Update

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

At the three minute or so mark that pretty pink Orchid that's blooming has such wonderful Roots growing everywhere! Very impressive especially since it's blooming and growing new Roots at the same time

[@jkaimaeda]

13:43 it kinda cracks me up when you aggressively talk to us 😂

[@jkaimaeda]

Dustin M i totally get your humor. anyone who doesn’t can just shut up haha 😆

[@Avatar2kelty]

Haha 😂 I know the feeling it's exactly same I went to 3 orchid shows and in each I said I won't buy anything and there's me leaving show with two full bags haha

[@DuneGlam]

[@elliotlei4479]

I feel you

[@astroboyace]

Mimosa is called ‘makahiya’ in filipino... they are like shy filipina :-)

[@kaycart]

That red phrag is 😊 lovely! Beautiful collection.

[@zachduperron8543]

These videos are tempting me to try and grow phalaenopsis orchids again

[@maritesg7976]

Love your plants, very healthy. Your terrarium is so beautiful as well.

[@jimbasaysay4285]

Thanks for sharing this video, im getting some good tips

[@TDMoorethanjustORCHIDS]

i am all for people growing orchids in the best way that suits their own environment..forget what a book says or experts say...if it works for you then it is the best way for you. i am surprised how well your Catasetums grow for you..if i watered the one that rotted through the winter it would rot in my greenhouse..perhaps your dry environment lends to your Catts being watered..i love those sequential blooming Paphs that are "mini" in stature...i have a couple on my list to buy at some point.anyway everything looks great. thanks for sharing

[@icemancometh8679]

( Dustin flipping through Yellow Pages) Greenhouses, greenhouses, large greenhouses! (calls number) Do you deliver?

[@lindabaker6034]

Great video. Sure would be interested in knowing how to get rid of thrips. Hate the little buggers.

[@ResQuetzal]

Hey, another Canadian orchid grower...recognize your Ten Shin Orchids. Just subscribed to your channel. Lovely Phrag Dick Clements! You really like phals. Where on earth did you find a Mimi Palmer? That would be one on my wish list though not sure if I can provide it with enough light esp in winter even though I have a SW window and some supplemental lighting. I'm so with you about the catasetum types. Great theory on their growth...why not try something different. Nice paphs "Pinocchios". Glad you're doing well with your tessellata...I lost mine :( Oh and I'm also out of control in spring when it comes to orchids but I tend to stop after May because most of my fall purchases don't seem to do as well.

[@HerebutNot]

Thanks Res! Yeah many of my plants are from Ten Shin. They're great for getting things I cannot find in canada. I'm a big fan of novelty phals that are fragrant and vibrant. Plus, phals in general tend to bloom multiple times per year, and that makes the effort of caring for them more worth it. When I started with orchids about 9 years ago I always had a room full of green plants and very few flowers because each one was seasonally flowering. Now that I have a good distribution of seasonal flowerers and phals, at any given time my place looks like I know what I'm doing! Flowers everywhere (except for in November when nothing seems to bloom) haha. With tessellata the key is very bright light, and high air flow around the roots. In Canada our winters lend us short days but (at least here in calgary) the days are still pretty bright. My vandas get full south exposure all year, so that helps keep them going. The mimi palmer I got was from Orchids in Our Tropics--can't say for sure if they still have them available, but give them a shot and let them know Dustin sent you :)

@@HerebutNot wow just stumbled across you on Utube.....watched a bunch of your videos. I live in Ontario and have lots of Orchids from orchids in out tropics and Ten Shin....another great one in Ontario is Crystal Star. Love to see a video on phalDem Orchids.

[@cholotg9177]

Beautiful collection

[@adiposerex5150]

I like your shirt. Really nice Phals and so unusual.

[@DanAlva24]

☺️ ❤️love your phalaenopsis !

[@sirene7465]

You could have said that THAT thing on your window is an exclusive nano-curtain worth 500 bucks. Nobody would have guessed the truth.

[@HerebutNot]

Hahaha - love it "The Sun Sieve 9000"

[@sirene7465]

@@HerebutNot exactly!

[@SaraChantell]

Hey, love the vids, I’m your provincial next door neighbour over here in BC. I’m also a plant monster, I can’t go to a garden centre without buying something. My house also looks like my very own garden centre. Where did you manage to find miracle berry and soursop seeds? Would love to have these in my collection. I look forward to more vids from you!

[@HerebutNot]

Hi SaraChantell! Love BC!! Sooo...I got the seeds from...a public garden in Calgary...oops 🙀 In 5 years when mine finally start making fruit, I’ll send you some 🤣 - srsly though, I’ll keep an eye out for seeds and let you know if I can find some. Thanks for watching!

[@胡美娟-k4u]

😍😍👍

[@glennbryant6065]

Try a Phal venosa for brown flowers with insane fragrance.

[@sillyNAHcheeto]

Have you ever had a cyp acaule?

[@lucythecat529]

New to your channel, subscribed. Enjoyed your video.

[@emhartjes]

Love your vandas. What medium are they growing in?

[@mendsaikhanmunkhnasan8472]

I like the bulbophylum flower. Do you know what is the variety name?

[@mendsaikhanmunkhnasan8472]

Thanks. 😀

[@samanthabarrett6511]

Did you get rid of no id phal red and yellow spot? I will pay for it if you can send to U.S.. Let me know what you have to get rid of .Please

[@HerebutNot]

Yeah, I did--sorry. I sold it at a local Orchid Society meeting :(

[@samanthabarrett6511]

Missed you dustin

[@Catnip2011]

Its the crazy dark wintery weather, I've been making appointments with the local orchid nurseries, btw your face did not come out red thru the video, you may want to look into green moisturizer/primer to cut down the redness (look only, not a cure) :0)

[@Catnip2011]

Just to clarify: "green" is actually the colour of the moisturizer/primer, the product actually appears green, it works on the colour neutralizing principle. btw, have you check into growlight.ca ? especially on their T5 led (tube) light that does not appear purple.

[@randyonmaui]

Hybridization 🤣 yeah I can’t say it either!

[@SolomonKane71]

I need to stop watching your videos ;) I keep adding new orchids to my 'must have' list

[@sandiesorchids9387]

Omg any that you are getting rid of. Pick me pick me
