Just don’t snip it too high or you will loose the bottom leaves due to how the grow. Leave 3-4” from last set of leaves to be safe. I think folks give many Vanda like these strap leaf types too much sun.

What ia the tds of your water

Great to know how to work on them. Thank you.

Thank you for information. I wonder how the orchid respond to dish soap but I will try

Wow! Beautiful flowers. Great collection.

Thanks

😊thank you for your advices

How can you make the 4 leg hangers

Very informative. Enjoyed it. Go Gators!

Ugh, theyre both sooooo sexy! ❤ tip for furture videos you make, it would really show the blooms of your plants off more if you put a dark screen behind them so just make a clip of the plant placed on something on its own in front of a black screen and move the camera around it and close and far away to and from it then go back to yourself holding them and showing us certain bits. Really appreciate what youre doing, good sir, your plants are stunningly beautiful and im rather jealous if I do say so myself 😂❤

Thank you

Got my first vanda lord im struggling with vandas I think I found the spot now in the yard. Where it doesn't burn from too much sun. Well, will from not enough s7n But I lost half the roots.

Why no videos since two years???

I lost all my orchids and im trying to start again after 6 years and it still makes me sad like losing a pet. Your vandas are beautiful

Thanks for sharing...will this Vanda grow in afternoon sun??? Pls do a video on how to care care for this Vanda

It’s worth a shot! Thanks

Do you sell Vandas?

Thanks for the tip- I will try the dyna gro fertilizer. Your orchids are healthy flaunts beautiful flowers. The fertilizer must really work.

Hello, great video thank you! How would you treat a suspicious looking blackened area on a vanda stem (about half way up the length of my vanda). I have been spraying daily with 3% hydrogen peroxide and then drying it under a fan. But, would you recommend applying cinnamon powder to the area instead, or should I just continue doing what I'm doing? Thanks!

Are you in the Orlando area?

Thanks for the info, I have a lot of trimming to do!!!

Yes of course you should keep a plant like that. It's absolutely stunning! Even without blooms the shape of it is beautiful ❤️

I've watched on how to treat sick vanda I don't know,if I should water the sick vanda after treatment.

Thanks for the video! Mine doesn't have crown rot, but I am new to the Vanda variety and have been trying to do research on how to help my dying baby. I've had a couple phals for maybe 5 or 6 years now, and a vanilla for 2. So not terribly new to orchids, but I am still learning a lot. Do you have any video's on saving a nearly rootless vanda? It lost almost all it's roots when I first got it a few month ago (didn't know what I was getting into) now it has 2. 1 fat one which is mostly brown with a quarter inch of green on the tip and brown green close to the plant. And the other one is 100% brown, but still feels firm like it is trying to hold on.

I have a collection of Neof. Falcata orchids. I plant them in the traditional Japanese style. I just bought a V Lucknow testacea falcata. It has very long air root ,an is in a 2x2 " pot that is packed...can I cut some of the longer roots off to enable me to put it in a large Falcata pot.

Mainly Vandas we miss you. How about a video on making keikis from your favorite vandas? Post soon.

Hi, how is it doing now? And why have you stop making videos?

Hay there! I believe I was gifted one like these. Came in a orchid clay pot. It seems to want to “climb” out and droop down. Should I mount it and let it hang down, upside down?

Long-lasting flowers or not?

That is gorgeous-mine doesn’t look like that bloom wise. Not that color. AOS Awards The American Orchid Society grants the following awards to orchids and exhibitors.

Omggggg I just purchased one and waiting for it!!!

Hi Sir Are you selling this orchid?

Lindas plantas. Estou curtindo bastante as vandas

How do you keep it from flopping all over the place? I can see that bloom getting broken with the plant flopping around. Seems safer to leave it hanging.

I find if I use Hormex, Kelp Max and Myco+ once a month on any orchid, old roots even spongy ones will branch new active growth roots in about 2-3 weeks if you have good humidity in summer. You can do that because you have plenty of humidity and will quickly grow new roots. Those of us in north - NC and north we don’t have the humidity to make this just happen so easy. We need every root we can get.

That second one looks like the roots were tied up.

It’s a drying agent as long as you don’t then wash it off for a couple of days.

But you are using the same clippers thus spreading it up the stem.

I ve seen bigger than this in the jungle of Kalimantan

That's the variation called rotorii. In this variation,colors vary. They can be reddish brown to scarlet red to dark red to almost black. In the Philippines,they're not a reliable bloomers at sea level. It's the v var merrilii and var immaculata that can bloom reliably under lowland conditions. There is also a yellow form blotched in reddish brown from Mindoro that is more suitable for lowland cultivation and is,in my opinion,the most fragrant variation of the species.

Great channel. I haves used all of your suggestions and ways with orchids, with great success. Thank you from Florida

I really enjoy your tutorials. They are very helpful. Keep them coming.

Love your channel. I’m down in Fort Lauderdale and hope to pay you a visit one day

Would the lower tip you cut off grow any kiekies?
