Hi Matthew. Thanks for the video. Concerning the Thunia. The plant needs the previous cane as a nutrient store so it shouldn't be cut off. As new growths develop the old cane shrivels and can be cut off when it is fully depleted. The old cane may well have produced keikis as well. Mine certainly do. Happy growing.
7:02 If you have the proper weather conditions but maybe not the proper soil to plant an orchid in the ground, you can always bury the pot in the ground instead of just the rootball. If you have the proper summer temperatures but cold winters, you can bury your pot in summer and pull the pot in fall... This allows you to move the plant without disturbing the roots. 💖🌞🌵😷
Thank you Matthew 😊 Speaking of uk 🇬🇧 weather, following a warm spell in April, it turned cold enough (4°C) at night, that my Christmas flowering Hellebore has been fooled into flowering on this Summer Solstice ☀️
Do you follow the "Ninja Orchid" channel? She's in Spain, sounds like she has a similar climate/winter as you. She also is growing indoors/outdoors with no extra lights, like you and has a vast collection with various species of orchids. 💖🌞🌵😷
Hi Mathew😌🙌Great episode on Winter dormancy👏🥰I have Bletilla in the garden here in Japan. It gets down to -8℃ on nights and the garden can have a permafrost in areas. It's almost completely dry in Winter, but moisture still remains in the soil 30% or so. The days are very bright and Sunny. Did you find a phaius flavus yet? They get about 2 or 3 light rains here in Winter, and dry low humidity. The Summer they enjoy hot humid weather with a lot of rain. I enjoyed watching🤲🌟Thanks so much😌🙌💖
Habenaria are quite tricky. I've not had success with retaining the rhizome of Habenaria. Little water becomes too little and a bit more becomes too much. Most of my Habenaria rotted off
About that thunia... I hope you haven't composted the cane yet, the part that is not dry can probably be used for propagation (videos can be found on YT). With mine, I keep the cane during winter, to provide with additional reserves for the new shoot. In spring, once the new growth reaches a decent size (use your best plant lover judgement), I cut the cane and propagate.
My mum brought me a Cymbidium from Melbourne. So it came from very cold to Turkey’s summer. And here is so hot😊 I’m afraid if she dies, cause she is very confused 😅
I would be too! I'd just try and give it a gentle environment to adapt to it's new conditions; dappled shade in a cooler spot - while it adjusts. Good luck!
@@helloplantlovers I placed it on the balcony. It gets sunlight at 17:00 in the evening, but it is 29 degrees during the day. It is 3 degrees lower inside the house. Where do you think I should place it? I also thought of watering it in 20 days because it is in a plastic pot and it does not dry out immediately. What would you do? Thanks 🌹
@@galatasarayyoutube5561 They can manage the heat - mine get much hotter summer temps! Don't worry. Not sure you meant 20 days?? In summer I water mine every day or every other day.
@@helloplantlovers I don’t get why but the soil hasn’t dried for 10 day and it looks like it wont dry for another 10 days. And thanks for the information. Greetings to you sir from Türkiye. 🌹
I Enjoy watching your videos you light up my day and tell me things I don’t know 🤷♀️ about my Cymbidiums 🙄of course I take it with a pinch of salt ! lol 😂 x
