This week Plant Lovers a look at a species orchid that has bloomed for the first time for me, Brassia keiliana - formerly known, like Prince, as Ada keiliana, which is a name I think I prefer! Now I haven't really tried to grow Brassia types much so I'm thrilled this species has proven very easy to grow and flower...and the flowers have a delicious fragrance which just adds to the delight!
If you want to know where I'm growing this orchid you can watch my grow space tour video here: • Orchid Grow Space Tour!

Very interesting Michael😊🤲💞I love your brassia. It gets a good spot to grow in your home. I like how you add in some history into the orchid care🙏I have a concertina coelogyne😅so, it has a little corrugation and I simply increased the water to keep it moist 'quite moist' actually. It's going to give me a show in winter🥰🙌

Yes - a little reminder of how bad an orchidist we've been!

Marvelous! Time for me to get one (or more) Brassia😉😍

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

Go for it!

I know the brown is kind of a turn off to a lot of people, but I like the simplistic brown and yellow, and the brown leans orange and I do like orange blooms. This one is used in one of my favorite hybrids, Brassostele Tarantula (along with Brassia/Ada aurantiaca).

I came here for the orchids and left with some books for my reading list. Your orchids are gorgeous (who cares about the crinkly leaves with such great blooms?!), but I'm always distracted by your bookshelves, too. The cover of the Silo series caught my eye so thank you for the Ada lesson and the book suggestions!

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

Ha! Those are all my other half's - we have VERY different tastes in books!

@salamanafurahi1978 10 месяцев назад

That explains the eclectic selection!

@besottedorchids3605 10 месяцев назад

I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite from your orchids, but this is a contender! I am a fan of the brassias

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

Thank you - very low maintenance so what's not to love!

@juliashearer7842 10 месяцев назад

Wow what a beauty! I doubt we could find it in the UK! Lovely.

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

That's a shame - makes a great window sill orchid!

@haraldgroner6645 10 месяцев назад

Such a great plant! Thank you for sharing.

I had to double check my calendar to see it was a thursday. You're a day early 😛

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

No? It's Friday where I am! They go live at midnight so if you're a night owl.....

Magnifique Brassia. In France, we call it « orchidée araignée » (spider orchid) because of the long petals and sepals which are reminiscent of the long legs of spiders. Enjoy australian spring . We have a beautiful automn here in Bordeaux. Time for Cattleya !

@helloplantlovers 8 месяцев назад

Ha! Then you should!

@bethreaves403 8 месяцев назад

I just MIGHT!!! 😁

@MrBonney15 10 месяцев назад

Hi Michael. Love your videos as i live in the UK and find them helpful. Have you ever grown Den. Spectabile?

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching - no I haven't - its a hot grower so out of my condition range unfortunately.

Hi Matthew, would you consider making a The Good The Bad and The Ugly video? Orchids thatyouve found to be bullet proof/set and forget. Ones that you struggle to keep alive and ones that you dream about but will probably be divas in your environment? P.S. Do you have any maxillarias? I bought a mislabeled masdevallia at an orchid show on the weekend that turns out to be a maxillaria nigrescens.Oopsy! Probably an attendee reading the label from a nearby mazzie and plugging it mistakenly into my maxillaria. There's next to nothing on RU-vid about that one. I have the general idea that it will grow like the clappers, is thirsty and hungry and is red. Cheers.

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

What a great idea! I will - thank you! And I have a nigrescens - keep them cool moist and light were the words of wisdom given to me! I will make a video about all of mine at some point.

@imir3434 10 месяцев назад

Whacko! I'll be poised. I'm in Melb also. Maybe I might grow to love my orphan interloper after all.

@bonsaibanana6070 10 месяцев назад

Hi Matthew another great video. What type of medium are you using? Thank you ❤

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

Regular Oncidium mix: bark | perlite | sphagnum moss

@carolesykes7955 10 месяцев назад

Hi Matthew, I know this comment isn't about the Brassia but I don't know how else to contact you and ask a question. I remember you doing a video about Odontoglossum pulchellum and wondered if it had flowered again since that first time? I have just read an article that says if you don't give it a long very dry spell from when new growths reach maturity in autumn for about 6 months it will grow but not flower. I have one that's about to go into its first winter and you say don't let it dry out? 🤷‍♀️

@helloplantlovers 10 месяцев назад

Hmm! Well I don't let mine dry out. I water it much less in winter but still water it. I do have a care video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DywfPr-Wm7E.html Good luck!
