I've never heard someone excited about the Bulbo stink.
With Clowesia, the more bulbs they have, the more flower spikes each new growth will produce. I haven't removed any bulbs or divided mine for that reason, last year the two growths gave four spikes each (compared to two on each the previous year and one on each the previous year and one on one growth prior to that). It has now started four new growths so maybe, if I'm good, it will give me 16-20 spikes come January.

I just saw your video on my recommended YT-page, and my first thought was oh! Hi! Hello! Who might you be? Then I subbed.

Big Bertha is now Little Bertha 😊

[@roslynclifford5983]

Thank you for your video. I always find something of interest here, this time the progression of your plants since the addition of calcium and magnesium to their regimen. You have some beautiful specimens. 😄

Michael, it's so much fun seeing you. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for the info.

[@teresagonzalez2022]

Omg I love those glass pots

[@andredumas9547]

Hi Michael, I see a lot of repotting in your future and much excitement 4 to 6 months from now. Your plants are doing very well, the one potted in soil needs an urgent looking after, was soil really its natural habitat ? I am having a lot of success with catasetums potted using the PET method. Thanks Michael.

Love seeing your plants. Wish you could film more often! Thanks

good day. Thank you very much for your review

For #59 I have my baskets sitting in those clear plastic plant trays so when I water them it’ll wick up the extra water over the course of a few days so it doesn’t dry out as fast and works very well for me. Maybe try that so it creates a reservoir for that. Just pack so extra moss underneath the basket so it touches the bottom of the tray.

Wow. Impressive collection.

[@katearntzen1361]

I would like to know where you get your Grow More Orchid Food, Balanced 20 20 20? I have set up my two orchids per your semi hydroponics video and they are doing well so far, but I want to give them the correct food. Thanks.

[@nancywitkowski1730]

idk what im doing wrong but both the pal orchids did very poorly in the semi hydro leca beads. all of the roots rotted and they were above the waterline?

[@huynhcindy512]

Hi Michael, my catasetum roots are smushy, I plan to trim it off . Since u had it in semi hydroponic, can I pot it in moss or bark? Or keep semi hydro.?

[@alexandermiller1594]

Can I ask, where do you get your egg glass pieces?

[@Skurk11]

Where do you keep your orchids i clear pots? If mine go near a window algaes attack??

Are you now in LA?
