Why Clowesetum (Clowesia x Catasetum) is an attractive choice

[@angelbass6799]

Magnificent!!!

[@michaeldornan7737]

Thanks a lot. My Clowesetum Penang waltz has got a first spike and am so glad to hear the flowers last longer than the catasetums. Beautiful plants you have!

[@orchidhouse]

Thank you and good luck with your Clowesetum!

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

This is such great information for someone new, it helped me so much and it's so valuable to know that you should get a cross. Thank you

[@orchidhouse]

For a newbie, hybrids are much easier to take care of!

[@SVKLOrchids]

Wow, you’ve got so much on bloom! Great growing!

[@orchidhouse]

Thank you! There are another 20 in spike right now but just starting and not worth showing.

[@SVKLOrchids]

@@orchidhouse I’m excited for subsequent videos!

Hi Mr olivier....your catasetum so beautiful and wonderful... Subhanallah 👍👍

[@orchidhouse]

Thank you!

[@elainereilly4686]

I'm enjoying your channel. I was inspired to purchase 2 more catasetum by watching you. Fingers crossed they will bloom for me eventually. Thanks for sharing good information.

[@orchidhouse]

Thank you!! I'm sure you'll do great! Good luck!

[@elainereilly4686]

@@orchidhouse I hope so. I live in central Florida and I think the weather should be fine for them.

As I don’t grow either, I much enjoyed to hear about Clowesias vs Catassetums ! You have the most beautiful collection of them ! Thank you for sharing ! P.S. planning on going to Redlands this year .

[@orchidhouse]

Thank you! Hopefully we get to meet at the Redlands! I always to try to go on the first day (Friday) as long as my job lets me. When did you plan on going?

[@johnvictorino7774]

Thank you Mr.Olivier for sharing your beautiful Catasetinae collection and tips on growing them. I recently lost some of mine, but I am inspired by your videos and would like to give them a try again 😄

[@orchidhouse]

Thank you and Good luck with them!!!

[@elisanavarro2567]

Beautiful orchids!! Where do you purchase your orchids?

[@orchidhouse]

From orchid vendors, either locally, online or mostly at orchid Shows in South Florida. Catasetums I buy from Fred Clarke (SVO), Jim-n-I Orchids, Stephen Moffitt and South American vendors for species

[@jbravo469]

Hello there, I love your videos. Is your grow area protected from rain? Thanks

[@orchidhouse]

Some areas are underneath an overhang and sheltered from the rain but the vast majority of the orchids are not. Dormant Catasetums are always put underneath an overhang and never get any rain.

[@jackiebravo8111]

Thank you very much

[@angelbass6799]

Gorgeous!! Where did you purchase this one from?

[@orchidhouse]

I bought Clowesetum Lydia Pan from SVO (Sunset Valley Orchids - Fred Clarke). It is SVO6730

Hi Olivier, Thanks a lot for sharing. I am in France and I am searching for catasetinaes seeds. Please update me Daniel

[@orchidhouse]

Bonjour Daniel. Je ne vais pas pouvoir vous aider car je n'achète jamais de semences d'orchidées... Olivier

[@danieljheelan5256]

@@orchidhouse Merci pour vôtre réponse Olivier. Avec toutes les floraisons en même temps, je pensais que vous pollinisez quelques fleurs. Je fais la culture in vitro des orchidées et je cherche des graines de cette famille. Daniel Daniel

[@orchidhouse]

@@danieljheelan5256 Je n'ai pas (encore) developpé la passion de la culture in vitro. Il faut deja tellement de patience avec les jeunes plantes que je ne souhaite pas en rajouter une couche🤣. Bonne chance!

[@coypeahen]

Hi Olivier. My Jumbo Puff grew two new bulbs and the leaves began to yellow a month ago. They haven’t fallen, but I haven’t watered the plant since then. Should I leave it and wait for the next new growth to occur? My plant seems to have a very confused calendar!

[@orchidhouse]

Hi Sunita! Good to hear from you! Some of my plants are also confused. It is NOT an exact science. Please note your Jumbo Puff can bloom on leafless bulbs! If you have leaves still, I would continue watering albeit much less. Check the plumpness of the bulb. It should be nice and plump before dormancy or before blooming. Hope this helps!
