Oh oh, I only have one orchid, was a gift from supermarket so don’t know what it is, I repotted into terracotta in orchid mix, I’m getting new roots but no flowers yet. I’ve seen people keep them in those see through plastic containers and they keep blooming.

Do you water your orchids in winter? Thanks for the video

I am in Jamaica growing orchids. Can you show a close Pic of fern tree bark from Australia Racquel

I've given up on tags because I keep losing them, especially when high winds would topple and ransack the area. I write them on the pots now with permanent texta/marker

I water my orchids pretty much the same that you do. I just love your collection. They’re so beautiful I live in Orlando. I just love your your channel. You’re teaching me a lot.❤thank you Dave

Thanks for sharing ❤

Beautiful ❤and thanks for sharing ❤

305👍Wow !! Great presentation, GOD BLESS YOU DEAR , HAVE A NICE TIME , Amazing dear pretty sister, very beautiful , wonderful coverage , greetings from HONG KONG @richscenic

P.S. i would consider Schomburkgia orchids to be very cold sensitive. Be careful there unless you have an excpetion. If you think vandas are sensitive to cold.. so are Schomburkgia and id say more so in majority of cases.

Typically phalaenopsis should not go under about 59. But if theyre dryer and its still and cold, maybe a tiny bit more. And if its not a sudden drop.

Def a Schomburkgia. My guess is Schomburkgia crispa or Schomburkgia undulata. Or a hybrid of one of them. A lot of them look similar. Including fimbriata. But probably can't enter it in a show if ya aren't sure. Gorgeous though! Truly.

Thanks for sharing ❤ beautiful and congratulations!

Thank you for some great ideas and tips!!! We have 10’ of snow first time in many many years and I could not save them all. One more orchid that hates cold is brassavola type. I found the hard way how they lose it leaves very quickly!

New Phalaenopsis orchid owner. Please tell me how often do I water and how? I’m so afraid to water it

Love your videos! I’m getting into the business of designing and selling ceramic mounts for orchids. Unique shapes and designs specifically for orchids. Show-off mounts and that does not rot!

Congrats!

Hey Dave, I live up in Gainesville and got into orchids a couple of years ago and now have over 100. My experience pretty much mirrors what you think in that my hardcane Dendrobiums definitely don’t like anything under 60° and neither does my Grammatophyllum. I also have Rhynchostylis (that genus you couldn’t think of in a recent video), and like its close relative the Vandas, it doesn’t like cold weather. It lost a few of its lower leaves. My Epidendrum radicans can take a lot of cold. We have been getting down into the 30’s and they are actively growing. We even got down to 26, but those are under my covered porch so it probably didn’t actually get to 26. My Catts get down to the 40’s with no ill effects, same with Encyclias. I leave my Oncidiums out into the 30’s and they are fine. The Phals don’t seem to mind the 40’s either.

Hello. When the end of the leaf turns black, do you cut it off?

Love your orchid set up. Keep the videos coming. How about traveling to the Redlands and feature the orchid nurseries, such as RF Orchids and Banjong.

Super bravissimo Dave, ti seguo dall' Italia. Anche io ho un canale su RUclips. No ti arrendere mai e seguita sempre a fare video interessantissimi. Sei unico nel modo di fare video ❤❤

How do you water i your mounted orchids in winter? Thanks for the video

Beautiful 👍😁😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can you speak to- what can be done if your cattleya has grown super large. I have one that has out grown its hanging basket. So heavy the metal chains have broken.

I love bioadvanced 3 in 1,

Dave, ...your beautiful collection is a great example of consistant care and what mimicing mother nature can do.......With your set up, ..your orchids get fed small amounts all the time.... and when you get rains,...... they get flushed........then the cycle repeats. ....The size of your plants, and the vigorous growth and blooms shows how happy your plants are......great work.....congrats on every ribbon and every award......

@14:00 bout died laughing at the chair stoping the screen from closing

Sadly, I have to do a lot of the “shuffle” as most of my orchids are outside of my lanai. But, luckily, I do not have as many as you do😍

My Grammataphylum did the exact same thing. Most likely because I over watered it too. The bulbs look healthy however, do you think it will recover?

Whlie phals need a drop in temps to trigger bloom spikes, it doesn’t have to be drastic… 10 or so degrees for a period of time is sufficient. LOVE your overkill winterized lanai.

I disagree.

What do you do for a living??😂

Very nice plant by the way.

FYI, Schomburkia is now called Myrmecophila.

Watching your channel makes me buy more orchids. 😂

Great video and very timely for those of us growing orchids outdoors in Florida. I have most of my cattleyas, my Sharry Baby, and a few vandas growing outdoors- the vandas move into the garage if it will go below 50 overnight but I don’t move the rest to the garage until it’s going to go below 40 for a few nights. Sometimes I might choose to cover them instead if it’s only a super short cold snap. It’s worked well for me fortunately for years but I think I will try your tip to spray them with the epsom salts solution for added cold protection so thanks for that 😊. I am also inspired by your retracting hurricane screens and heavy duty heater for your lanai for winter. Now I have to get my husband to buy into doing something like this for our front porch 😂😉

Humidity makes the cold worse , cold up north is lessened by the dry air. Those ground orchids will be ok. I have a bunch growing around the maple tree upfront if they do die back they'll come back they are very hardy. Any new orchids i get with minimal root growth i bring in.

Hi Dave☺️🙌I enjoyed watching😄🤲💖I have cold sensitive Vandas, and yeah, they have plenty of cold damage to tell me that. The dendrobium nobile types are absolutely fine in cold. Here they get down to 23℃ fahrenheit without a problem, and the dendrobium lindleyi I have hanging under a conifer tree in those cold temperatures too. Almost everyday here has sunshine. It feels warm and the air temperature is about 50℃ fahrenheit. The neighbor even has nobile types in her trees, and they have been there for about 10+ years👍The phalaenopsis don't like under 50℃, but they can Winter well at about 59℃ and even grow and flower well. Just keep the phalaenopsis away from direct sunshine on them. They are vampires. A lot of growers do grow them under sunshine, but they don't thrive. To thrive they need cool shade. Thanks again Dave and have a great day😃

Hello. It would be very helpful if you also made a video on how to dilute each fertilizer.

Could you put a label on your video or make a list in your description of the orchids mentioned?

Phals you need to mount them and when you mount them they need to be facing down that way when you water it runs down like it would in nature so not to rot the crown that’s the secret I grow my phals on trees just like they would be in nature get them out of pots they don’t like that they want their roots like vandas exposed aloha from Hawaii 🤙 and dont be afraid reach out

Love your vids man!

I live in south Texas, i get direct sun till about 3 to 4pm. Would a vanda be good for my area? I just ordered a dendrobium online.

Congrats on your win ! I use alot of lava rock too🤞 What orchid nurseries in Sarasota do you recommend ? I’ll be there next week!

Congratulations on these trophies As usual beautiful amazing plants And what a collection 👍🏻🙏🏻 Cheers from 🇨🇭

I got a blue ribbon for my Cattleya Amethystoglossa at the Sarasota show🤗. It was nice meeting you there😍

I grow in lava rock and have found that a lot better for me in my climate than bark or any other media so it all depends on where you are and your climate and what your organs are happiest in

For those U don't know the name, Google lens might be useful. Congratulations on getting 1st place for your plant.
