Awesome….. just wow. Loved the pink and faded yellow shades of orchids. Your courtyard is amazingly beautifully decorated with these orchids. Can you please share a video on this terracotta pots, wood trunk stands and mounted orchids? An overview of this area?
Violacea's, one of my favorite orchids. It actually makes me sad to see the blooms fade away on these. I do loose leaves in the winter. Most cattleyas can take a few cool nights in the 40's. So these cattleyas are very sensitive to cool temperatures? I love your Stanhopea. I would love to see a care video on these types. First time I have see one mounted.
Yes it is one of the most sensitive Cattleya specie when it comes to cold. I bring mine indoors below 55 F to be on the safe side. I'll work on a care video for Stanhopeas but I am still fairly new to growing them. Most of my Stanhopeas are actually potted in a basket which is the best way to grow them I believe but I can't resist mounting some and they seem to be doing fine. After all that is how they grow in nature LOL.
You have a keen eye. Unfortunately, I have not been very successful so far. After one year, it has grown a decent root system but I have had 3 spurts of buds and they blast every single time. I do not know why. If you are successful with yours, please feel free to let me know how you do it. If I get better at it, I will post a video down the road.
Water them all the time. Does that mean you water them everyday? Would you water them twice on a hot summer day? In Mumbai, we’re at 42C and the humidity at 55% today. Under a shade net. I do hose them twice a day. Thoroughly in the early mornings and a shower in the afternoon around 3:00. I’m suddenly feeling diffident....
Yes I water it every day. While I seldom water twice, I could. At 42 C (very hot) and 55% humidity (not that high) I would think it is wise to water them twice. Mounted orchids have exposed roots and they dry out fast. It is nearly impossible to overwater them. The only time I would not water is when temperatures are low (below 15 or 20 C). It sounds like you are doing the right thing. How is your plant doing? If it is healthy and blooming you should continue doing what you are doing. Every environment is different and you can always give general guidance on how to grow a specific orchid but we each have to try out strategies on our own.
Olivier, I began using a hose this year, after realising that my orchids are thirsty all the time when I use just a sprayer to water them. They’re picking up quite well. They’ve all got new growths and new roots, and some have sheaths. The dendrobium are doing especially well. I’m hoping I will have flowers by June. I hang terracotta pots filled with water to up the humidity a little. I’m so hoping I can manage to do this, living on the 20th floor. I try to get the water8ng done before the neighbours wake up, and the overflow dries up. One lives in hope...
@@coypeahen Sounds like you doing exactly what is needed: you noticed a deficiency, you adjusted your care and you get results! I'm sure the flowers will be next!
Hello. I have some orchids with soft new growth and some soft old growth as well. I know I'm over watering. I'm trying to control myself. The orchids with soft growths are they dying? What can I do to help? Besides stop watering... SMH. Thank you for your help.
It is impossible to reply without seeing the plant. Is it potted? If yes then I would check the root system first and surely change the watering habits but it may ba too late for this one?
Yes and in many countries unlike most Cattleyas which are often only found in Brazil. violacea lives in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador
Congratulations, it's a difficult plant to grow even here in its native region, it's amazing how you managed to find a suitable crop for it
Thank you very much! It gave me two pairs of beautiful flowers in the spring this year. I love it!
I don't know why i didn't think I could mount stanhopea. Thank you for another great video
My goodness your collection is huge & beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Sorry just noticed your message now! Thank you very much!
Great video 🏵️

Came to see the planters and learned a bit more on my Cattleya. I’m so glad I found your channel. Your knowledge is amazing. Thanks! 🙏
Thank you! Glad to be helpful and especially to a "neighbor" from the beloved Keys!!!
Gorgeous violacea, I love stanhopea one of mine have blooms developing.
Thanks! Yep me too....I LOVE Stanhopeas!
Will you show us a video of your Stanhopea? Which specie/hybrid is it?
The camera work on this video was outstanding!
Your yard looks like an orchid nursery! Spectacular!
Thank you very much! It is my little Tropical Paradise
Love the Cattleya violacea. I would never have thought of mounting a Stanhopea like that. What a wonderful idea. I may have to try it. Great video.

Didn't you could mount stanhopea. WOW. Beautiful. I'm going to try that with some I have. Thank you
... love the plant mon ami I'll have to go to your mounting video...
I really love mounting! It looks so nice and it is how mother nature does it. It also erases the effects of my tendency to overwater LOL.
@@orchidhouse can't imagine you over watering lol
Thank u for explaining so well!! The blooms are beautiful 👌🏼
Thank you very much!

I see a Chylochista. Would like to see a video on how you handle her in Florida. Mine is in the mail.

Is this type of cattleya fragrant?
Yes it is!

Can you tell me the brazilian vendors
I bought this one from Bela Vista but I also buy from Floralia

Essa catleia tem aqui no BRASIL
Yes and in many countries unlike most Cattleyas which are often only found in Brazil. violacea lives in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador
中国中文把这个叫做女神卡特兰，再翻译成英文的话是cattleya goddess ，蓝色个体非常贵
