Whats in My Pot (Bowl) ? - A Bit of a "Project" !

[@helenhawkins4054]

This is so much what orchid freaks are about . I can totally relate, all fun & games. I'm sure it will be quite spectacular.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@terryklemesrud758]

This was quite an adventure!! I love the way you mounted it....looks terrific!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@patriciasorchids3999]

I think it looks much nicer mounted. It will look spectacular when it blooms. Thanks for sharing

[@TrishsOrchidLife]

Quite the task but well worth I would think as this mount is absolutely beautiful!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@richardwilliams3302]

This turned out great. Thanks for sharing. Glad the shoulder is better.

[@maxineevans9179]

Looks fantastic Roger 😊. Hope they thrive on their new home 😊.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@myhandmadejournals]

I love the artistic concept of your mount. Not just useful but also beautiful for the eye!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Let's hope it grows.

[@myhandmadejournals]

Roger's Orchids sure it grows!!! I have a question: when watering isn’t it dangerous if you water the plant on the top when water drips towards the others? I mean like phals when they get water in the crown

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

@@myhandmadejournals With the mounted orchids, they are placed where they drip on the floor after watering. All the pots have drip trays under them to stop them dripping on other plants. The only time plants drip on each other is when I use the sprayer and I only do that in warm weather when the large circulating fans are on.

[@myhandmadejournals]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai thank you

[@hildewilkens3772]

''a bit of a project'' that was a serious project !!! Nice job and great result.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I had a feeling something was wrong in that pot - only one way to find out.

[@bonniesuekimball7550]

Wow! What a job.... 🤗🤗🤗🤗 hopefully it'll pick up and get some clean growths and blooms to set off that mount 😁

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It probably won't do much until the Spring.

[@patsfreund9164]

Really like what you have decided to do with this cattleya. Good choice to mount this one.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@user-gd3oi2ue6k]

Great job Roger and great looking mount. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@littleorchids5674]

That mount looks good!!!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@bigboxorchid2017]

Completely agree with the mount.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks - it should be fine.

[@tess.campbell]

That was quite the task! The result is beautiful. I also love hearing about your cats.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@miche7032]

I enjoyed watching this video. Yes indeed, it was artistically done👍🏼👍🏼. I don’t like the idea of community potting though, one will thrive & one will struggle.Thank you for sharing. Good luck with the new set up. Do keep us updated.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

The plants look better like this and easier to handle - that pot was heavy.

[@YnseSchaap]

Looks really fantastic (almost in situ)

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@lisatodman1577]

This was really interesting to watch. Thank you! Looks really nice.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@YnseSchaap]

The dog eats it sometimes, always comes out 😁

[@zanevat]

Love your videos! Great job with that LC! Piece of art!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@jokennedy2943]

Looks great! 🌱

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@christrinder1255]

Very nice mount Roger! I’ve given up on fishing line now because it’s so fiddly, (albeit clear and unnoticeable) and seems to work loose soon after I’ve mounted an orchid and have started using natural raffia instead.

[@derockenheimer3843]

sieht gut aus.

[@YnseSchaap]

Catching up on videos is easy with the others, 10 in an hour, yours need careful planning 😁

[@summerrobinson8411]

YOU FORGOT THAT ONE! LOL I.E.- "There's a bother factor...like I can't be" 26 minutes into this video, perfect for a T-shirt to step out in!

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

it looked awesome in the bowl but now would you recommend that shape pot for a orchid?

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

yep, I vote for them all cramed on a mount!

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

looks great! nice job

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

The bowl shape is fine for shallower rooting orchids but this one is made from very soft thick clay so just stays wet. It's also quite large.

[@sannekemartha7737]

Roger, what did you do with the little bit at 8:36 ? I hope not ....the hedge.. You could sell it to me ?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Too late - all my 'bits' now go in a recycling bin rather than under the hedge.

[@david020218]

The terracotta pot have any cottaseal on it? That would prevent it from drying out

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I wouldn't know - it was a gift.

[@trishbronk]

2 yrs later! Just watched - how did it do?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Not sure if I lost it or if it went to someone else - but I haven't got it anymore.

[@wilairat26atoady]

Roger , Dani uses "Strawpoll". I don't know if that will help for future reference.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

In the new KZbin Studio, I think it's now a built in function?

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

Given that this hybrid is 50% schilleriana, it is probably better suited to a mount.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I didn't know that pot would hold on to so much moisture - not suitable for something that needs to dry quicker.

[@martinspijker9661]

safe the bowl for a bulbo..;)

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It will be great for something that needs to stay moist.

[@lynnbrooks5503]

Forgive my bluntness, but what the bleedin’ ‘ell did you expect to happen with 4 plants in 1 pot? There is always a risk with planting multiples in 1 pot, if one gets sick it can take the others down. Having said that, if it were my pot, I probably would have added extra holes around the flat bottom of the pot.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

A pot full of roots? The bowl is made from very soft thick clay and holds on to moisture - not suitable for a Catt. type. I didn't know that when I used it.

[@lynnbrooks5503]

Roger's Orchids Well you certainly achieved that. Hope they do well on the mount. I have started to mount a few odd bits of Cattleya lately. Am seeing new roots and shoots, so am keeping my fingers crossed.

[@barbfroede1343]

Looks amazing!!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.
