Hi Josh, I started watching Natural Nel a few months ago. Thoroughly enjoyed your live chats. You're like an encyclopedia. Look forward to watching a lot more. ❤❤ 🇬🇧
Lovely Orchids.... I attached most of my Orchids to the Tropical Fruits Trees in my Yard....i love it. Thank you for sharing your great work....The Orchid Den.
I have been doing this for a long time, but I use old hedge ball wood and clamp the orchard to the piece of limb and put the limb in an orchard pot standing straight up and put small stones in the pot to hold the wood stable in the pot. That way I crate a look like the orchard is on a real tree. Then because I live in the north, I made a wooden box with plexiglass and a door to open to water the flower. I also have put the pot on a turn table swivel, on wood so that I can water the flower all the way around. The wooden box works like a hot house in the winter, and I use a spray bottle with fertilizer just like you. Thanks. Now all my family members want one. LOL Love your video keep it up. Thanks
Great video! I've been leaning more toward mounted orchids, I grow in a tent and have set up an automatic fogging system. Btw I think you mean brassavola not brassia for the little stars hybrid. That one blooms so reliably for me I love it
I just mounted a few dendros and one rhynchostylis on fern slab, thinking i needed to rescue them as they've been sitting on wet medium (bark, leca balls and charcoal). I hope they flourish there. They actually look prettier, though they need to be tended quite meticulously this time. Thank you for your informative vids.
I love this video thank you, hanging several orchids in Kodama style and also trying this mounting technique, so beautiful to see these plants hanging.
Just watched your video. I am new to the orchid world, less than a year, and I have really found a niche of interest with mounted orchids. I have watched a lot of videos to learn about orchids and yet never had the opportunity to watch a mounted video like yours. I learned a lot. I do live in Maine so our climates are quite different but I am learning how to make this work in my home. Thank you for the teaching!
Loved the video learned a lot super excited to start mounting mine. Thank you. Fyi I want to know everything about orchids lol. So many kinds so much info. Fairly new to orchids killed a few saved a few 🤔.
I have just watched this video from 6 months ago. It was so informative. I am a novice at this, so need all the tuition I can get. I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed. Thanks.
Always,love the natural look of organic mounts. Personally, I have switched to trying to grow wverything as inorganic as,possible. Natural looks best though 😍
Hey Joshua! Loved this idea. This video popped on my thread and Im glad it did. That peckey cypress wood idea is awesome. I’m heading to Lowe’s and Home Depot very soon😉. Thanks for the easy and quick tutorial. 💚
Hi Joshua! I met you on Saturday at the OFE show. It was pouring so didn't have much time to see your stuff but thanks to Nelson (Nature Nel) I found your IG, You Tube and Website. I collect plants and orchids. Looking forward to seeing you at other shows. I will purchase directly from your website. Nice meeting you! Another Orchid buddy!
Yes!! So happy to meet you. You can order directly from my website (TheOrchidDen.com) and I’ll ship to you. You can send me a message if you have any questions. Thank you for your support!🤗
This is a very detailed video. Thank you for sharing. Need to find the right kind of wood. I've got some keikis and they are very small. Probably will take 2 years to get to the blooming size... that's a pretty long time
This is perfect content. I plan to build a tripical shower in my master bthroom and use the existing orchids that are on my mango tree to mount on the shower walls. also back yard outdoor tropical shower. I liked, subscribed and shared.
Thank you Orchid Den, I had no clue how to do it🙈😄but now I will try. Cheers🦘🦘🦘❤…I forgot to say, you are such a sweet person, thank you🤗for sharing your passion with us!
Well I didn't really mount it but its in a wooden container with bark and moss Now to figure out where the best light is in my home. Ok light meter Dont let me down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Joshua. I enjoyed your mounting orchid tutorial. I’ve seen your pottery items on other RU-vidr content and I’m loving the designs. Can you demonstrate how you mount and display orchids on the pottery plates and other various pottery items. Loving you from the Florida Panhandle.
Nice video! Only two things. Wire - coper colour is probably fine, but coper wire is for some organizms toxic so if someone will have living mose it will kill. Driling - please do not dril afainst hand -is youre hand, but..... It can hurt😱. Anyway, thx for good content 👍
Great thanks! we don't have this kind of wood here in Australia and I'm about to use a piece of old wood that has many groves for the roots to attach. I'm thinking of using bark from the Paperbark tree as a root medium and see how this works :-)
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Ryder Ahmir i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Drift wood I’d good too right? As long as it has the groves. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been rescuing the discounted orchids at lowes lol they are half off or better sometimes after the blooms are gone.
You can use driftwood as long as it’s not from salt water or brackish water. Also make sure to leech the contaminants out of it. I personally don’t use it because it rots faster also.
this was very helpful. I've been looking for videos regarding how to mount orchids. Can you suggest a method (or link to another one of your videos) regarding how to mount with some moss/bark in a ball? I am looking for a method that would require less water.
Hi and Happy New Year from Clearwater Florida. I’m ready to mount some vandas and have been looking at RU-vid for tips and advice. Your video has been the most educational so far. Your background looks like you’re in a jungle. It’s really beautiful. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video and help us orchid lovers. 😊💜😊
The plant will eventually grow upwards. I want to get as many years on the mount as possibly. If you mount in the middle of the wood, you get less time before you have to cut up and start over.
I had an Orchid years ago … And now that I’m back home I’d like to buy me a couple of orchids and mount them on some beautiful drift wood someone gifted me . I was surprised you didn’t add Sphagnum moss , Im going to try it your way and see . Im interested in what you use in your spray bottle everyday? And btw I did subscribe.
Hello PhalPal, I found you on Facebook. I’m PhalPal Durrell and I’m a new subscriber. Great tutorial video. Happy Growing from your PhalPal Durrell ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🇺🇸
Yes looks lovely but you are hanging them in a greenhouse I assume? I’m from Melbourne my orchids are outside undercover- does this method work for that environment?
It’ll work the same. They still get watered daily or multiple times daily in my greenhouse. Main thing is to make sure they do t get too cold where you are.
I am a new sub. This is the first of your video's that I have watched. Loved it. Thank you very much. I have a question about the wood. Does it comevprecut like that. Very interesting mount.
Tracey Auclair yes! The type of wood matters very much. You want a very hard wood. If you use wood like pine or oak it will rot quickly and you can possibly lose the plant. I use cypress but you can also use cedar as well.
I mounted three baby vandas on a piece of driftwood yesterday, they are small baby size and I am worrying when I water them the leaves also get wet does it matter if they are wet if they are in the air? I worry about fungus, I can't avoid spraying the leaves though the roots are so small close to the plant I can't water them without spraying the whole plant.
It’s okay to get the leaves wet as long as they dry out by end of day. Also remember to be using a systemic fungicide (along with insecticide) monthly to help prevent issues.
@@TheOrchidDen Thank you. I use cal- mag , epsom salt and 15-35-15. I am new growing orchids so I have lots of questions , I read that seaweed was good too. Have a wonderful day. Rita C.
