You have such excellent content, Peter. Thank you for sharing your expertise and rationale in all your decision making. After watching these, I feel the ‘of course’ switch in my abilities flipping on and then take on my challenges with more knowledgeable eyes.👀. You are an excellent teacher! 👊👍🤗💯🪴👨🏻🎓
Beautiful!!!! ❤ Hey I have an off topic question…. 😁 I received an angraecum didieri which had some black spots on the lower leaves and then they all have fallen off 😮 the top two leaves are fine and it has a new leaf coming up…..could you tell me what might be causing this? It was mounted in an air pot but I noticed a couple snails so I removed it and the roots are actually looking good. I got it all cleaned up but I wanna make sure nothing more happens to it. Thanks 🙏 😊
not uncommon for them to get black spots on their leaves and perhaps a little transplant shock or mechanical damage causes the leaves to drop or just acclimatezation to the new environment . remember high humidity is the trick for success with them 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience. It is very important and useful info😅 can you please in the future make a video about rooting different orchids species. Thanks-have a great week and happy planting 😃
Lol! I love your sense of humor. Which is so oddly occuring, i never see it coming. Combined with your very professional care advice.... And very simply put in a very clear way.. well . Perfectly executed, sir. ^_^ Thanks as always for the advice, knowledge and sharing your experience. -L
😊 stop it 😁 I like it ... lol you making be blush . Thank you I am so glad you are finding value in what we do and especially that you are enjoying it at the same time .🫂. Thank you so much for your support it means more to us than you know 💕
😁 thank you . There are so many great people here and we all learn from each other and we all want the best for our orchids and other plants .. Plant people are weird and I love being a card carrying member 🤣
Kleptomaniac here! Unfortunately no orchid preys available. I 'do' succulents and cactus. One big success was the big plant in the back of this and other videos, the one with the spotted leaves. Still don't know its name of it. 'Found' it in the entrance hall of a wellness center. Its growing well and even flowers. Many regards ❣
Oh for sure I can do succulents .. I have so much fun propagating them 💯 the tall plant is Dracaena surculosa . It will grow from cutting too but it will take a very long time to look like this so better to buy a rooted plant or divide a piece out of the root stock . 🫂💕
@@thenaturecompany Thanks for the name. It was a new growth at the base of a huge plant which was planted in Leca. So it was quite easy. Never would have tried a cutting.
Funny that this came out literally a day after dividing a bunch of my orchids. Worst one was my cymbidium (boat orchid) because that probably needed an axe to split lol.
Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for you, I'm a beginner orchid grower living in Robertson, W.Cape - otherwise I would be around at your place with my clippers and spray bottle! If you ever need a holiday in the middle of about 50 wineries, we have plenty accommodation. Just bring orchids! 😂
are you looking to plant it in coconut husk only ? or mix the coconut husk with other media ? the mini Cymbidiums are easy enough to grow in it , the others in theory are but in practice can be more challenging . Very culture dependent .
Its common to our Nepals himalayan range where lies the top 7 highest mountain of the world.So kindly mention nepal too in the honour of those mountain where we find col.flacida in their laps.
🤣 you not wrong , displaying it at home atm is taking up most of the walkway lol so now have to duck and dive to get around it till the flowers finish 🤣
@@thenaturecompany That may take years and years. A quick follow up would be much valuable to demonstrate the progress overtime. Better than not posting for 3 or 4 years. and showing only 0% and 100% progress. No inbetween .
I have Coelogyne "unchained Melody" which is a cross between Coelogyne Cristata and Flaccida and it is in full bloom right now. It is covered in beautiful flowers. My orchid lives outside all year until it flowers and then I bring it indoors so we can admire the beautiful blooms. Unchained Melody does not seem to have any perfume at all which is a bit if a shame, however, the blooms certainly create a beautiful show. The climate in Sydney Australia has hot humid summers and cold wet winters. As always thanks for sharing this great video and your amazing Coelogyne....... Helen from Sydney Australia
I love the blooms of unchained melody that white is so pure with the bright yellow it really makes a show . Lucky it does not have a scent like flaccida lol way way to strong to keep indoors 🤣 you will be wondering how many cats have been marking your curtains 🤣 Thanks for your input it is always wonderful to hear what others are doing with their orchids 😍
I just purchased Coelogyne Janine Banks Snow White at the big Orchid show today in Sydney. The addiction continues. I think I need an intervention LOL...
