One thing I've learned is that many words can be pronounced many different ways depending where in the state, or part of the world one is from. 🌞

Very happy to have found your channel. Great presentation. Thank you for sharing your information.

@tolgarupture Год назад

Thank you for this video Eric. Out here in London, we don’t get to keep our vandas outside and that causes difficulties in terms of using hoses or sprinklers for regular watering. I have been spaying them with filtered water once a day in the morning which is manageable in an indoor setup. I also soak them in a tall bucket with fertilizer once a week. In one of the videos in this channel it was said that soaking damages the roots and makes them susceptible to fungal rot. I just wanted to check if there is way around this whereby one soaks the plant carefully without damaging the roots. Otherwise I’m going to have to bring them into the bathroom to give them the required amount of water everyday which is not practical to say the least. I’ll be grateful for your view on this matter. Cheers

Love this. My Vandas have been a little wrinkled on the leaf which I’m assuming is dehydration. So now taking that 2/3 times watering advice ☺️

Great video Eric! When you are taking off the yellow leaves or talking about cutting off the spike ... perhaps mentioning Physan and why you would apply it might be good info for people? Just a thought. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Excellent video! In regards to using cal mag or epsom salt to help with too much sun ... how much and how often?

@orchidlife8224 3 года назад

These will help with magnesium deficiencies and help to "green up" plants... typically for epsom I use 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and apply liberally once a month... a little less in the hot summer months ... for cal mag read the product instructions but go with the more diluted mixes , I use an organic cal mag in trace amounts daily for the moment to correct some issues I noticed.... so far so good ;-)

@jodeming5088 3 года назад

Thank you for the valuable info. A new sub from earlier today when you purchased a vanda at R&R. I took a,10 yr break in orchids & have the fever bad. Collection is growing & wow how things have changed. Do you use protect on your plants?

@orchidlife8224 3 года назад

yes , I use Protect instead of Diathane-45

Hey Eric, can you share with me what to feed vanda who has blooms already and what strength? I appreciate if you could share with me.

@christina9779 9 месяцев назад

I’m in California and my orchids seem to not be doing so well 1) I don’t use humidifier and I don’t know if I should 2) I repot them after it flowers but they never rebloom just leaves and no blooms fertilize once a month 3) get a lot of root rot even though I don’t water them as should I am just learning so what is it that I have to learn more of

@orchidlife8224 9 месяцев назад

orchids like to be potted tight, to big a pot can lead to rot as the medium may not dry quick enough for the orchid in question. I like to pot mine in wood charcoal, they love the carbon and the medium dries quickly

@evelynbravo-sanchez1920 2 года назад

Where can I get the charcoal for my cattaleyas?

@richpeltz2044 2 года назад

I use lump charcoal that you use in a grill. Use a hammer to break large pieces and wash the dust off. But remember,..its lightweight,...so maybe put some rocks in bottom of pot.

@orchidsinsouthafrica636 3 года назад

Hallo what type of charcoal do you use? Greetings Jan from South Africa. 🙂

@orchidlife8224 3 года назад

I use horticultural wood charcoal, I have heard of people using regular store bought wood lump charcoal however.

@nitawal 2 года назад

I’m a new fan! I do water my orchids in 2-3 rounds like you say, but I have a question please. Do I do all rounds with fertilizer or just the first round?? Thank you.

@orchidlife8224 2 года назад

when feeding , feed the same way you water. 1st round opens the cell tissue of the roots 2nd and 3rd is when they will absorb more of the nutrient.

@Jan1962E 3 года назад

I have watched videos that say when watering phals ... to not let water get on the leaves because water will seep down and rot the crown and you said to water the whole plant. What do I do?

@orchidlife8224 3 года назад

The leaves benefit from moisture and nutrients as well, with the shape of the leaves on a phal sometimes water can puddle, if this is happening then yes ... as long as you are watering in the morning allowing for the crown to dry before the cooler night time conditions you should be ok.... yes , phals do not need as much water as the vandas and encyclias but aslo grow in more shade.... pay close attention to where you are growing and when you are watering let the phals get there needed dry period and do your best not to disturb the roots when repotting or mounting ... :-)

@orchidlife8224 3 года назад

As long as the phal has time to dry it will be fine, the fact the it is mounted will help.... when I mount phalanx I fix the a little sideways so water drains from the crown.... in periods of heavy rain your gonna want to use physan 20 or zeretol to get rid of topical funguses and deter black rot

How often do you use cal-mag?

@orchidlife8224 3 года назад

A Pro orchid grower advised cal mag when he saw some yellowing on my plants, I had stopped epsom treatments after winter but you could tell something was going wrong... I picked up and organic cal mag 2 weeks ago and am using trace amounts daily at the moment with good results... so far I am mixing 2 tablespoons -25 gallons

@evelynbravo-sanchez1920 3 года назад

When and how often should I use CalMed on my vandas?

@orchidlife8224 3 года назад

Read the label for manufacturers recommendations, some you can use a trace amount daily and some are better as just a monthly addition to your feeding schedule.

LOL love your videos but One small correction, the baby plants are called: Kei-ki, not ki-ki. Keiki is a Hawaiian word for child. That being said...Question: Is it better to remove some of the Keikis to propagate another plant and not suck the life from the parent? Or better to leave them on?

@orchidlife8224 4 месяца назад

i leave mine and just let the plant get huge ... i like big healthy plants... if you have healthy roots it will support everything the plant needs no matter the size
