    I believe the air conditioning in my house is killing my orchids. Everyone in the house keeps turning it up and it feels like it is constantly running. Can I take my orchids outside? I am in the northern Kentucky area and it is hot here day and night right now. But will it shock the orchids to give them such extreme temperatures? Or could I take them outside for just a couple hours each day?

    hello Rick its nice to see u back, I had a question about my cymbidium the medium is bark n charcoal n some compost , it has not flowered after I have bought it. but the main problem is it gets a lot of black spots n many leaves turn yellow. what can I do? I leave in Nairobi Kenya n many people here keep orchids

    • @rickl.orchids
      @rickl.orchids 11 часов назад

      .......Thank you my friend.....Yellow leaves can be caused by a nitrogen defficiency, or lack of calcium.....the spots can be caused by several things......fungal or bacterial infections from lack of a good air flow around the plant,....or the plant may need more potassium or magnesium......lack of those 2 nutirents can disrupt photosynthesis, and black spots appear on the leaves........what do you feed them?

    Hello Rick, Hope your week has gone well? I’m back again with a few questions. I repotted an orchid today watered, some of the roots were soft/mussy and I pulled the soft stuff off the roots- is the white root inside and good? Do I keep or cut them off? Repotting at age 74 and tremors is a challenge, but I slowly get it done. When watering orchids can I mix Jacks with Cal-Mag? Thank you for help Dot

    • @rickl.orchids
      @rickl.orchids День назад

      Hey Dot.....if the root is mushy, its gone....the string inside is the Stele.....and the outside covering that turns green when wet is called the Velamen....Once the velamen soaks up some water and nutrients, the veins of the orchid, known as steles, ...draw in the moisture and send it out to the rest of the plants, stems, and leaves....once the Velamen is gone the stele will die eventually.......I dont remove the damaged roots anymore.....they still help anchor the plant in the media till new roots appear.,,,I used to cut them off, but dont anymore, removing them makes it difficult to get them anchored in the pots........if your using Jacks 5-12-26 and the calcium nitrate.....dont add any calmag.....I only add calmag to my flushing water, or spray them with it after heavy rains.....the calcium nitrate has plenty of calcium in it........Bless you and I pray for god to help relieve your tremors.......74 yrs old........your doing great my friend.

    I just found you last night & I’m so glad that I did! I’ve watched several of your videos now and love how you explain things. I have followed many Orchid RUclipsrs for years but I really think I learned more from watching a couple of yours than all the others put together! I started out with growing Phals over 42 years ago and for years followed the ice cube instructions, although none died they didn’t thrive either 😢 that’s when I started to learn more about them. For the past 25 years I branched out to different varieties of Orchids, hand carrying them back from visits to Florida back to SE Oklahoma. Our summers can run well over 100 degrees sometimes with long stretches of no rain. I try to collect rainwater but often don’t have any, I know some Orchids are sensitive to chemicals in tap water so for most I distilled, spring water or sometimes warm up filtered water from the refrigerator. I’m wondering what your thoughts are when rain water isn’t available? The other thing I was wondering about is that I use ground egg shells (not store bought) and let it soak in a bucket of water and use this periodically in my garden, would I be able to use that to soak my Orchids in as well? Thank you so much for making these videos & sharing your knowledge!

      ......what a great comment to start the day with.....thank you, and welcome to the channel, I love your orchid growing story.......Orchids do best with very pure water......I collect rainwater, and when that gets scarce, I use my R/O filter to make pure water........you can also use a Zero pitcher to make pure water.....Egg shells are great for adding some additional calcium to your plants.....but remember, the egg shells need to break down some, before the calcium they contain can be absorbed.......in soil that happens faster than with orchids......I give mine calmag, ... its a readily available and absorbable form of calcium.
