Caring for this orchid by The Med, in leca and self watering. Hot summers, cool(ish) winters. In this video, I share my experience of 2+ years growing this orchid in my climate, and getting it to bloom again, after it struggled to transition. There are other methods and set ups to make this orchid happy and vigorous, the channels, collaborating with the #CareCollab of this orchid, are linked below. If you see this video before the other channels have published their video, the links will lead you directly to their channel home page. Once I see the videos corresponding to the care of this orchid, I will update the links to lead directly to the care videos! Should you also happen to have this orchid, and you also make videos on RUclips, perhaps you would like to contact either one of us and join in with the continued sporadic updates. The more the merrier!! Thank you!

Hello nina...nice plant..!!the buds looks promising..!!
Hi!! 🤗💐 they do... and they have been looking promising since October '19!! Finally, today, they are open! This was a long long time to wait 🤨😅 Thank you, amigo, for taking the time to watch!! Have a fabulous day! 🌸
That’s a heckin long name! It does not flow off my tongue with ease..🤣 but then again I get tongue twisted trying to say small words.
Hi Danni!! 🥰💐 it took a while to get this one to flow.... I had a lot of practice while not doing videos 😉 do you and I have an orchid in common? Do you have the Den Roy Tokunaga? In the very early days of my channel, I dedicated the Roy Tokunaga blooms to you and could that be because you have one but it did not bloom at the time? We need to find the same orchid so that we can join up and do a care video together 🙏🏼 if that is something you would like to do! Nothing changes if it isn't! No offence, love you just as much! 🥰🌸
Murasaki komachi is a female name. Legendary beauty. And Michael is correct. It means “purple beauty” I believe back in AC 600s. Purple is loyal color and this lady went to that level and “crowned” that name.
Yoshi San! 🤗💐 Thank you for always providing such interesting nuggets of things that I am totally oblivious about and haven't researched beyond what I see at the tip of my nose 😬 When I have a moment, I will look into it deeper, because I do get fascinated by why an orchid has its' name. Thank you for joining in! I am looking forward to the sporadic updates! Have a wonderful day, Yoshi 🌸
Hello again 💞 hm ..... maybe my zygopetalum youngster is a zygonisia ? Please - is there a way I can be sure ? Both need much water and humidity - right ? Thank you Nin Ja 💃💖🌸🦜🐕🐕
Hi Mona 😍💐 mmhhhh, the only way to confirm either way, is to see if the blooms here match what you have. Zygopetalums have much more vibrant colors, for the most part, but there is one that is a little more subdued with more hues of green in the petals and sepals. Here is a Zygo with more subdued colors and more of a washed out green in the petals and sepals shorturl.at/WQmuE maybe you have on that is similar to the one I have linked? They both have the same care requirements, yes! Even their roots are very similar. Zygonisia involves the genera Zygopetalum, Miltonia, and Neogardneria and Zygopetalum are in fact a genus with species but many are hybrids with Zygopetalum parents only and not another genus. I hope that you are enjoying your blooms, lovely lady! Thank you so much for watching this video 🫶🏼 have yourself a beautiful rest of your day ❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thank you 💝
Nice collab!!watched all your videos..those plant are not widely available here in the Philippines, but i manage to have few but sadly they died..
Hi there! 🤗💐 thank you!! I hope that your next Zygonisia will be a success after watching these videos! Do we have orchids in common? 😬 ninjaorchids@gmail.com if you see an orchid that I have and you also have 😉 Thank you so very much for taking the time to watch!! Have a wonderful day 🌸
My very rare zygonisupermarktis hoferachi is doing great (knock on wood). Bought it 2 years ago and it re-flowerd last spring. It also has a light fragrance. I have no idea in which zone I'm living. It's definitely not mediterreanen and also not californian. I also don't remember whats in the pot although I dropped it once. Whenever a new growth appears I put some moss under it. I water it when the pot is leicht. And Hofer is Aldi in Austria. Have a nice week.
Hoferachi!! 😅😂😂 you are making me laugh, thank you so much!! Hi Anna!! So, this could be a synonym aldii ?? 🤣🤣 because of my set up, I have had my share of work to bring the orchid to this point! They really do not care what they grow in, as long as the media stays 'clean' and there is plenty of moisture around the roots, so... your method sounds ideal! 👍🏼 Thank you for watching and the laugh!! I love it!! 🌸
I sounds like your outside conditions are similar to the main area of my greenhouse 🤔. Beautiful blooms. I can't wait to see the blooms. If It does well for you outside I may have to add one to my collection. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Hi Patricia! 🤗💐 I am very excited to see these blooms again, after struggling to get it adapted into my set up. It was very very reluctant, ... in this case, I hope that my stubbornness paid off, for now.... when it comes to repotting, we shall see how it responds 😅 Thank you so very much for taking the time to watch, I really appreciate it, and I wish you a wonderful evening 🌸
How romantic, Murasaki named, because of Lady Murasaki who wrote the Tale of Genji. Lady Lavender? 🌼
Jambo Sana Sue! 🤗💐 And..... another nugget! Thank you! I really appreciate this comment... filling in the blanks, where my nose didn't venture when I first researched this orchid to see if my climate would work for it. Thank you so very much for watching, Sue! Siku njema 🌸
Soo, the registered name is actually Murasakikomachi (all one word) but it seems every nursery splits the name. Maybe Yoshi can correct me if I'm wrong, it means Purple Beauty. And watching this, I'm reminded I really need to do something with mine. It was an experiment to see if it would grow sort of mounted, which it has, but it can't support itself. I need to yank it off and pot it up.
(I think the buds should open by Monday)
Don Miguel 🥰🤗💐the nurseries... they have me so confused, as you well know! I was totally blinded by some of their labelling and just trusted them 99% of the time. I mean, I just grow orchids, who am I to judge that their labelling can be off 🤷🏼♀️ So, yeah... back in the day, I was making my own labels like a woman possessed and copied what it said from the nursery without looking into each orchid to double check. It is easier to remember some of the names when they are split up, that is the only positive I can take out of this specific circumstance! 😅 I feel dumb for not having researched the translation properly, and all that good stuff... I went with what I knew, dry, and didn't go too much in depth. I do not want my care videos to sound as if I have read all about the orchid in question because I do not want to dilute how I care for mine, and mix in what should be done! I really would like to drive home, the this is how I do it in my climate, right / wrong... and then get feedback, or see the orchid do well, regardless of what other research is out there. The minute I delve too much into researching care, I begin to dilute my message. Anyway, its early days, and I hope that things get better as this concept evolves. I mean, I have approx 100 orchids that I read exactly the same, that would be 100 different care videos on specific orchids, which pretty much repeat the same message, but, the person searching for one of those 100 orchids and lands on my video, won't know that there are 99 other videos out there with pretty much the same intel. But, don't worry, I won't flood my channel immediately with 100 same care videos... in drips and drabs 😅 I am reading between your lines, that you will gently remove the orchid from the mount, prising every root off with utmost care and not damage a single one 😉 I could not make this orchid survive on a mount, so.... good going on that front! Buds by Monday? Ok! 👍🏼 I will let you know. Thank you for taking the time to watch ... chuffed to have brought it back into bloom, tbh! And my NoID Zygo is in spike, after it went downhill 2 years ago 🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🤪 Have a wonderful Sunday, my friend!! ❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids you got the most important care tip in the video, don’t mess with the roots or they die, that’s what’s important. The only way to get it off the mount will be to yank, captain impatient won’t even bother trying to tease the roots that are attached off because they’ll die anyway.
Anxiously awaiting seeing both Zygos in a bloom video.
I love Zygonisia flower, but its hard for me to keep its alive . I'm trying out again with Leca and self watering just like what you are doing. Let's hope it will survive. Other people are growing it in mosses , I don't know how they do it. I wish I could do the same. Thank you for sharing this video.
Hi LienLien!! 🤗💐 thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video and for leaving me a comment! I really appreciate it! Flush, flush, flush... especially during the first 2 months. 2x / week and keep the reservoir full enough, which is not difficult when flushing regularily. Be careful when cleaning the root ball as you work with removing the old media,... I realized that these guys have 'tickly feet' and the slower the cleaning process, the more diligent, the better for the existing roots. Flushing is important for the O2 exchange in the pot to help the roots adapt to the new media... because they get fresh water often, they won't 'know' that much has changed around them. Lots of light, not necessarily full direct sun, but they need a LOT of light, and don't worry if the leaves fall off on the back bulbs, it can happen in some environments, it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the orchid, it just makes it look funny 😬 My buds STILL have not opened! 🙄😅 'watch this space' 🤣 have a wonderful day / evening! 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids you' re welcome. I enjoyed watching your video 😀. you gave a lot of details information on how to care the Zygonisia . I had killed my last Zygonisia , so I just got a replacement plant from the Pelican Coast Farm nursery, Fl. and Jerry gave me an extra Zygonisia 🥰 for it ! He was so sweet to do it. Hopefully, I don't kill it again.🤞. Thank you , Ninja . Have a great weekend .
Great video re temps,especially.i am in northern USA.....summer now.have one zygo green Gecko..only one leaf left,as it was sent to me with fungus(which I treated with Physan,successfully). Wondering one leaf left will keep it alive;it has 4 bulbs.three are already bloomed in past.
Joseph, hi! 🤗💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, and if you have been here before, then I profoundly apologize for not having recognized you! But, either way, it is so kind of you to be here and welcome! One leaf will keep it alive, and even if that leaf were to drop, it will bounce back. It will be set back, and then next new growth may be a lot smaller as it has to deal with starting a new root system (if the old roots fail, which is a possibility seeing as Zygo roots are uber sensitive to any form of disruption!) but, it will pull through. One small new growth will be what comes next but after that, the next growth will for sure, be the original size AND bloom. They are extremely resilient, but their roots.... don't even look at them, or else they will fail. The gentlest of care when it comes to handling the roots. The top is not the problem with Zygos... its the bottom that can take them out. Still, it will come back. My growths never hold on to more than one or 2 bulbs with leaves, but still, it blooms and is absolutely fine. I hope that this helps ..here is a link to my Zygo hybrid Trozy Blue ruclips.net/video/mtUOgMj2hbQ/видео.html with a little more info and more recent. Just a thought, in case you are interested and have time 👍🏼 again, welcome, thank you for being here and for leaving me a comment! 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Grand merci.You have gone out of the usual way to tell me what goes and will happen with my Gecko. I truly appreciate your effort. I heard about your place via Missorchidgirl.
I am glad that I could be of help.👍🏼👍🏼 You found me via Missorchidgirl?
Nice flower spikes, l’ve got this orchid, but it hasn’t bloom yet, thanks for tips!
Thank you very much for taking a look at my video. I would like to know if you are interested in joining in for future updates on this orchid? Even if your's has not bloomed yet, it would be nice to add you to the group of youtubers covering this orchid in the #CareCollab concept. English language is not a criteria, if you do your videos in Russian(?) Pls email me ninjaorchids@gmail.com so that we can be in touch should you like to join in for the updates 😀🤞🏻 i can email the guidelines back to you and you can do the same for all your orchids with other youtubers. Same goes if we have more orchids that are the same. Thank you for your kind comment 🌸
ᑎIᑎᒎᗩ_ᗝᖇᑕᕼIᗪᔕ thanks, I’ve already joined, you can add too for sharing our orchid blooms!
I really appreciate it! Thank you for joining.... if you would like to do videos together, where we show our orchids that we have the same of, feel free to email me! I have a video ruclips.net/video/NoSEndy8r1g/видео.html explaining what I am trying to do with everyone who has the same orchid as I do. Please watch and see if you would like to do something like that with me! Thank you again for being here! I just subbed to your channel 💐
I think i can grow this in the Philippines...
I think you can too!! They would love your conditions, all the fresh rain water and constant breeze 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for sharing your care of your orchid!
Hi Joan 🤗💐 Thank YOU for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate it! 🤩🌸
Looking really good, Nina, wow, two spikes ! I noticed how clean and green the leaves are. I only have one my very first zygo, and it started to develop small black spots on the leaves, do you know what it could be by any chance?
Hi there! 🤗💐 so very happy to see that this orchid will bloom! I was surprised to see 2 spikes 🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️ I think that air flow has a lot to do with the spotting on the leaves. When this orchid was being babied through the summer months, it was inside, to protect it from the heat. Despite the doors always being open, there isn't the same airflow as it would have outside. I have lost all the leaves of the previous years' growth because the spotting came and took the leaves out slowly. Now I have to think about, if it can handle the very hot summer temps, or if I will just accept what it does in my climate, and continue to grow it indoors to protect the whole plant. Time will tell, but it is the first time that the previous growth has held on to the leaves....and my temperatures have not been kind this January.... amazing how the structure of the leaves appear flimsy but how well they can handle wind! 👍🏼 Thank you very much for taking the time to watch. Have a wonderful day 🌸
I can’t wait to see the blooms on your plant! Two spikes on one bulb is quite a feat... must be doing something right 😁
Hi there!! 🤗💐 oh my goodness, I was really pushing it to the last minute to finish the video, thinking, any day now, any day now and I can film the blooms, but NOPE! 😅 But... that is all part and parcel of this concept... what does the orchid do when and where, so thank you very much for you fantastic video and support of this CareCollab thing! I was happy when I saw the first spike and a couple of days later, another one! 👍🏼 lots and lots of light this past year. I pushed it beyond what I thought it could handle, but... it proved me wrong!! Have a wonderful day, Jess! Thank you again... and if there are more in common that we have, we know the drill, if you are up for it. Again, never meaning to insert myself or impose on the flow of your channel! If one is a good one for the coming season / years, then so be it! Hakuna matata! 🌸
Loved the video!
HI Nita 🥰💐 thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind feedback and that you took time out of your day to watch 🙏🏼 thank you! 🌸
when those open it will be very beautiful. I have one zygo and I learned I need to go flush it and wet that new leca I put it in. thanks friend.
Hi Michelle 🤗💐 they have certainly had their time teasing me, that's for sure! Since I did the 132 spikes video.... that was when I only saw one spike on this one and a couple of days later, the second one. That feels like a long time ago 😴 I am looking forward to seeing the blooms again, after fighting to bring it back from the brink! 🤪 Lots of flushing to get them established... so, I am glad that this video helped out! 🌸 I will put you on the list for Zygo carecollab? If you are interested? Thank you for watching! 🌸
🦒👏👌!!! Super lovely plant, I love Zygonisias, the colours are so gorgeous!!! Yours is looking great, perfect leaves and two spikes!!!! Great care information, looking forward to the blooms 😄.
Have a relaxed SUNday, hopefully King is tired of all the fun of yesterday and give you a break. Mingi hugs amiga mia vecina favorita❤️🤗😍
FFF 🤸🏼♀️🙌🏼🥰💐 With the bare back bulbs, it looks a bit odd in that pot, but it still has the leaves from the previous growth.... starting to make sense on the visual front 😅 2 spikes!! I know, right? When I did my 132 spike video, I only saw one and a couple of days later, the second one and then the pressure was on to make sure that they develop! Sometimes, I just prefer new growths... they are so much easier 🤪 I was thinking of bringing the orchid in to make her bloom faster, so that by the time the video was released, I had blooms, but then.... the risk of them blasting was too great. They are taking forever to mature! You know, yesterday went by so fast, I thought it was Saturday this morning! 🙄 What a day! King is quiet now, but the minute I get up from the computer... he is full on! I have to continue with leash training... he needs walks, but has not had all the injections yet, so I cannot take him out for walks just yet. I read up about Dachshunds again, after what you told me in a comment, to refresh my memory of this breed. Despite growing up with them, that was a long time ago! 😅 ... I want Thierry back! 🥲 I miss him sooooo much, I think that you can imagine how much! Anyway...change the subject! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, yet another video! Have yourself a wonderful SUNday.... we don't have any here... probably not until next week. And it is cold! Have you seen the pictures from Madrid?? Alpine ski resort comes to mind! They have been dog sledding in the streets and snowboarding behind cars. Incredible scenes! Beautiful fluffy snow, and soooo much!! They were inundated! Not surprised that it is cold here... they are expecting -11ºC next week! 🥶 all the nasty emissions stopped in 2020 ... and nature is back, at least for a little time. 🥰🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Polar vortex !!! I had never heard of this.. Now I have !!! What a way to broaden our horizons 🥶 "The Polar Vortex now collapsing, is set to release the Arctic Hounds for the United States and Europe, as we head for the second half of Winter 2020/2021"
What about that? 😲
It has not rained here for at least 10 days which is good although sunny promising periods are alternating with thick clouds, it looks like a carrousel !!!
Not as cold around here due to the gulf stream influences but we are getting more snow in the mountains close to the border which would be good for tourism if people were allowed to go skiing... Keep youself warm my dearest friend, the cold is not going away just yet 😤 Huuuugggsss 😍😍😍
I read a similar article! That vortex needs to shift... sasa hivi, pronto, rapido! Stupid vortex! 🙄 go away! No one wants you 😅
Oh I can't wait to see it bloom : ) keep safe and happy growing
Hi there!! 🤗💐 and soon enough, 2 years later... 🙌🏼 just a few more days to go and I hope that it holds up 'out there' in the cold, because if I bring it in now, I will get bud blast, of that I am certain! 🤞🏼 Thank you for taking the time to watch! Have a wonderful rest of your day! 🌸
Love it
😍💐 thank you Darcy! Much appreciated 😍🌸
Loved it so much I got one for myself. 🤩 She is arriving today😄💮
