Orchids I bring inside for winter...and those I leave out!

- Since I began my channel, people have regularly asked about the seasonal swap I do; bringing tender plants inside for winter and taking them out again in summer. I wasn't sure quite how to make a video about this because carrying a pot inside doesn't make gripping viewing! But a viewer asked again last week, and as is it's winter I figured out a way to show you what I bring inside, why and where it lives during the chilly months! So Plant Lovers, here is a walk through of my winter seasonal swap! We walk past a LOT of plants but the ones I name are:
Cymbidium tracyanum
Dendrobium Gippsland
Epicattleya Rene Marques
Dendrobium atroviolaceum
Dendrobium jyrdii
Robiquetia cerina
Dendrobium secundum
Epidendrum centropetalum
Epicatanthe Hsiang Yu Gold Coast
Ansellia africana
Dendrobium hancockii
Cattleya maxima

Really liked seeing your growing environments. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
I grow orchids in Brisbane Queensland,in a temperature climate. We had a lecture at Orchid Club about orchids in Winter. I now cover my shade house roof with a clear tarpaulin to stop cold rain on the plants. I also bring the hardcane dendrobiums, vandas & seedlings inside to min 13degC at night then take them all back outside each morning. Our winter daytime temps have been min. 20deg C. These orchids continue to flower & grow without missing a beat!
Wowser - that is dedication! Thanks for watching!
Hi Matthew, I've now caught up with all your videos and have enjoyed them all. It's so nice to see a fellow Australian showing their orchids and their way of growing them.
I've been growing, perhaps I should say trying to grow, orchids in Victor Harbor in South Australia for about 5 years I guess, I have about 120 now.
In this video I was very happy to see I keep the same types of orchids outside during winter in a similar situation as you, mine are under a west facing verandah. I used to feel guilty not having a better situation for them during the winter.
I do have quite a few smaller seedlings now, Cattleya (trying some of the new SVO minis) and my latest passion, Nobile Dens and this year I brought all those in along with anything else I thought could benefit and set them up in the lounge in front of the window.
I'm afraid I went full 'Nanny mode' and set up a couple of lights just to try and keep them moving through the winter. The couple of Den Phals and some Cattleya that seem to be struggling are on a pebble tray with a heat mat under. The air temp around the heat mat/pebble tray is about 17C to 20C
Like you I don't water too much over winter, probably 3 weeks for those outside depending on what the weather as been like, inside plants are done as needed as they are tiny, but its only ever just a trickle, and only for those that really need it.
We have a local Orchid Club with a great turn out every month. Do you go to any orchid clubs?
Thanks for watching...EVERYTHING! I do go along to the Orchid Species of Victoria meetings when I can, and I've spoken at few other clubs.
I love indoor plants ☘️😍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Matthew, great to hear your reasoning!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Roslyn, I live in Brisbane too. I admire your dedication! Small seedlings and sarcs currently come inside at night only, due to space issues. Would you mind sharing the advice you received at your club regarding watering the hard cane dens in our particular Brisbane climate during our currently mild "winter" please? I can't find information specific to our neck of the woods. Thank very much.
I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area which I think is similar to your climate. Oakland, where I live, doesn’t seem to get as hot as Melbourne.
I always fret about that to bring in and what to leave outside, but things tend to work out.
I honestly can’t believe that you can get orchid seedlings at the hardware store. Here it’s sad phals, and nothing else.
Thanks for watching - yes I think there's a lot of similarities between our climates! It is hit and miss with the seedlings....just depends what the supplier might have had one given month! But there was a lot of great Cattleyas when I was there last week!
Hi Matthew. Don't give on Mr Rene Marquise 😅 , i also brought a seedling as well and it finally gave me 2 blooms last year!!!You wouldn't believe how stoked I was!! after 4years of just waiting and waiting....nothing... It was sooooo beautiful 😍 ❤️
It is so hard to find this Orchid, i haven't been able to find another plant. So if you decide to pass it on, i would be happy to give you some $$$ for it or maybe an orchid swap???
Well now you've made me determined to keep trying with it!!! I shall focus on it's needs more!
Enjoyed your rambling!! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Amazing!!!
Thanks for watching!
I didn’t see your phaiocalanthe kryptonite ‘parkside’. I do hope it is going well.
I only aquired mine a few days ago and have been doing research into their needs. I live in Sydney and I’ve decided in a mix of 50% Peat Moss and 50% mix of fine bark, perlite and charcoal. Fingers crossed.
Mine does tend to die down in winter here - good luck with yours! PLENTY of fertiliser! Including organic fertiliser; ie manure pellets.
I'm in Geelong, my Cymbidiums are outside under cover all year round, late bloomers, four are blooming and four others are in flower spike.
My sarc's and Dendrobiums are also outside. Inside are my Phals, three of which are budding, my Miltoniopsis, Cats and Miltonia and one Masda.
Looking at your huge collection, you will need a huge truck to load them all when you move house😂
We'll see...it will be a process!!
Stunning Cymbidium ❤💗 Greetings from Poland 👋🏻
Thanks for finding me!
Matthew, you describe the sring and fall transitions as gradual where you live, for example moving a cold sensitive orchid outside when temps stop going below such-and-such. But where I live it seems like spring is a time when temps wildly fluctuate between winter and summer temps rather than changing gradually. I don't have any outdoor orchids yet, but wonder if you or anyone else has any suggested species for this weird climate where I live.
Where do you live??
@@helloplantlovers San Jose, California (its in the "bay area" but the climate isn't even remotely like San Fransisco, we don't get fog or ocean breezes)
@@MostlyIC Honestly, best thing you can do is find a local orchid group and go to some meetings or join it; you'll find out what people are growing in the area under similar conditions.
When you move will you have more room for your orchids? I saw a cissus discolor in your home, I think those are hard to grow also. Everything looks pretty good to me but I know nothing about orchids which is why I watch you, you seem to be doing pretty well with yours.
Thanks for watching - yes, I will have more room both inside and out!
The garden looks great!💯
Thank you!
Interesting video. How do you avoid bringing bugs into the house?
Whenever you're handling a plant is a good opportunity to review it. But ultimately...if you do...you do. I probably have more bugs inside than outside anyway...natural predators and better air flow outside.
Mathew should my Cymbidium roots be above my medium 😢Help they are at the moment
Depends entirely upon the plant? Is it a seedling? Is it a mature plant that's out growing its pot? If the roots are exposed from miss-potting and the plant's not looking healthy then just re pot it with as little disturbance as possible. You could also just place some larger bark pieces on the the exposed roots. Depends! But if the plant is happy and it wants it's roots out - then so be it! Good luck - they are tough.
@@helloplantlovers It’s a mature plant that I had to repot when I noticed rot in a new shoot and thought it was in too deep. But now I’m not sure I’ve done the right thing 🙄😕Thank You Mathew x
