With so many alternatives and variables in the orchid hobby, growing orchids in semi hydro is considered a fad and will outgrow the phase! Nothing could be further from the truth. Growing orchids in semi hydroponics is here to stay, because of how many variables there are to make it work in any environment! There is no single rule, in the orchid hobby, which will work across the board for all growers world wide, but, there are certain practicalities that have to be considered when growing orchids in semi hydro or any set up for that matter, and that is the practicality of repotting. This video, will show some options of pots for growing orchids in semi hydro, and explain why one version is best, compared to the other. #orchids #semihydroponics #growingorchids #semihydropots #semihydroorchidpots #orchidcare #orchidcareforbeginners #dendrobiumantennatum

Great discussion Nina
Hi Michelle 🥰💐 ooohhh thank you!! So much more could be said about this, and I finished filming and thought 'what about this? what about that?' ... so, your feedback is appreciated, Michelle! As much as you taking the time to watch 😘 hope your week is already going great 🤗 have a wonderful rest of your day ❤️🌸
That answers a question I’ve had. Thanks!
Hi Paige 😍💐 yay!! Happy to hear that 👍🏼 thank you for letting me know 😘 and thank you for watching, for being my Winglady over yonder 🙏🏼 Hope your week is off to a great start and your day is just adding to all things good that are coming your way ❤️ have a beautiful rest of your day, beautiful lady 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids oh, Nina! I hope you have a wonderful week, too 😃
Great informative video Nina great job 😘😘👍
HI Stephen 😍💐 thank you, for your positive feedback! It was one of those subjects that has so many variables, I was not sure as to how deep I should get into them. Figured, I would wait for the comments, and then maybe do a part 2, but, it would appear that I managed to keep the commentary on course without getting anyone confused! Your feedback is really appreciated, thank you! As is your time watching and commenting... thank you for being so encouraging as well 🙏🏼 hope your day is going fabulously 🌸😘
Love the way you explained everything, learned alot. Thanks 😊
HI Maria 😍💐 how nice to see you again, today!! Thank YOU so much for your feedback 🫶🏼 I appreciate you letting me know 🫶🏼 and thank YOU so much for watching ❤️🌸
Great video!
Hi 😍💐 thank you!! So much!! I felt as though I covered everything in this video, but ya never know, so I appreciate your feedback 🫶🏼 thank you for watching ❤️🌸
I can attest to your statement of using pots with multiple holes is not conducive for self watering. I tried this early in my orchid journey and found the Leca to dry out from above the middle up…even with a wick through the center. But I do see it may work with the right environment:high humidity to help with moisture. Great information as always ❤️
🌸🥷🏼Trish San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 Guten Morgen!! I am of the opinion that, when talking about semi hydroponics, we need to be very specific with what the pot should look like, even when it comes to self watering! Or, it is not semi hydroponics. I am not trying to be petty, and in many environments a hybrid set up would work IF the humidity is a constant all year round 70% and up. But then, good luck on the repot... that decision is a personal one, and whatever anyone is comfortable with, roll with it if it works well in said specific environment. The damage, however, will be exponential! With leca... the wicking gets totally lost! My opinion... as I always say to myself after a video like this... 'but what do I know!?' 😬 thank you so much for watching, Freundin!! Wishing you a wonderful and successful Tuesday ❤️🌸
Very informative video Nina. Plenty of drainage holes on the bottom of the pot is very important in all set ups.
HI Jose 🤩💐 yes! But, not for classic semi hydro, only the drainage holes to create a reservoir... that is the exception. But, you have the best drainage for your orchids... guava bark 👍🏼👍🏼 best set up, all the time, every time! Thank you so much for watching, Jose! Thank you for the question back in the day... I appreciate your support on my channel so much 🤗 hope you had a wonderful day 🌸
Thank you Nina for the clarification.
Hi Nina. You’ve cleared up my confusion about S/H & S/W. When I first started growing some orchids indoors I decided that I wanted to have wicks so that with leca in clear pots which have air holes & opaque masks without any holes I’ve created a self watering system and not semi hydro. What I didn’t understand at the time was that I need to have a wet/dry cycle and because it was quite humid for some time I almost lost a few phals due to root rot. The Oncidiums faired better because they could tolerate the constant wet in the pots. It’s taken me months to sort out what I need to do and not do, thanks to watching a lot of videos, so I do appreciate this video for finally clarifying semi hydro. Thank you.
Hi Renate 😍💐 good morning, lovely lady! I am so glad that another nugget of information is added to your vast library of knowledge, Renate! These videos can be a little confusing, especially when I don't have exact examples to show and am talking theoretically. Imagine if I could show a root system coming out of the ventilation holes and then talk about the repotting issues that would pose... total different story to explain a point. I appreciate your feedback, lovely lady! Thank you so much 🤗 and thank you so much for watching 🥰 I hope your day starts out beautifully and continues to get more and more beautiful ❤️🌸
I appreciated these tips as this is a question I also had!
Also, I followed your advice regarding my maxillaria and seaweed. It was my first time using seaweed and you were right! My Max’s pseudobulbs started to plump up overnight and a new root popped threw its sheath! It was magic! Thank you!🌸💖
&yLand 😍💐 hi! I am so glad that this video helped to answer the question! Awesome!! Thank you for letting me know 😃 aaannnnnd, I am behind in filming a quick vid about the maxillaria cutting that I got a few months ago.... it is showing signs of roots at the base, based on what I recommended you do... now you tell me it has worked like magic for you as well 🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🙌🏼 so happpeeeeee!! 😆 fantastic news! I shall still film the video, but now I have time! I had you in mind, to give you peace of mind, but now that I have that, I don't have to feel bad that I am not able to show the results sooner to encourage you to keep doing it, and 'just wait'! The wait is over! 👍🏼👍🏼 thank you for watching this video, &yLand, and for your feedback and update! You are so appreciated 🤗 hope your day was fabulous 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I am excited for that video, please take your time! Max and I will be able to hold on till then! 😉 Thank you for the sneak peek behind the scenes!
Hope you all are safe and happy over there! 💖🌸
Thank you for this video, have a save day.
Hi Ingrid 🥰💐 thank YOU so much for watching, lovely lady! Hope you are doing well and that you had a great day ❤️🌸
🦒🙋♀🙌💖 Great informative video 👌👌 It is always good to give growing methods its proper classification by knowing the differance and what are the pros and cons. The hybrids are very useful too. It's amazing how orchids can adapt to the various methods we decide to grow them into as long as we attend to their basic needs😮Not to forget that we, orchid growers, must be comfortable with our methods too. It may take quite a while to reach that balance. Happy tuesday, amiga mia y vecina favorita, to you and yours 💖😘😍🤗
FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good morning, meine liebe Freundin! I say that a lot in my videos, that everyone needs to feel comfortable with what they do and how they grow. There are 2 important messages in this video... one being that we cannot expect roots to stay in the pot, and not grow out of the ventilation holes causing massive destruction when it comes time to repot, and ventilation holes are for a wet dry cycle set up, never for a semi hydroponic set up. I could go on and on about when what can apply, depending on each environment and what growers can achieve in their climate or space. But, in many videos, I say that the grower has to be comfortable with the decision making process and the options are endless. Specifics, the comments are there for a reason 👍🏼👍🏼 I thought I was dreaming early this morning, when it rained 😅 it was raining! Just a little shower, but a heavy one and woohoo!!! So happy. Unfortunately I was not aware that it was going to happen or else I would have pulled orchids from the shelf. But, it resulted in a nice humid day! 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, amiga mia! Really appreciate your time watching and supporting me 😘 hope your day is beautiful already 🙌🏼 much love to you ❤️🌸
Hmm, didn't some viewer tell you that antennatum is a blooming machine?
Air holes in s/h pots is helpful for the Asccentrum types, since their roots just don't like to be in a "closed" space, it gives them more "free air". Annabelle had hers in mesh pots with a reservoir (IIRC) and the roots stopped dying, although they still wanted to grow out of the pots. In terms of how the s/h works, they won't make much of a difference, other than it may dry faster than if there aren't air holes. It may aid in overall root growth, but I can't say that for certain.
I think people tend to want to grow in pots with airholes because that is what they are used to. The thing is, air holes are generally used to improve/even out dry time in organic media, they don't really serve much other purpose. Since you don't want s/h to dry out, there isn't really a need for them (except in the case of Ascocentrum types, I guess).
Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! Some viewer did, yes... and I was faster and more diligent with the pest maintenance to make sure that no caterpillars take out my spikes this year. 💪🏼While I was good with the antennatum, I was not so good with the Tolumnias, so.... we have a bit a problem there 🤦🏼♀️ ventilation holes, are there for tweaking based on environment, but still, when dealing with leca as the media, it should not dry out, or else it isn't SH. Tweaking a set up to make it work for an orchid is the best thing to do to make it work, but then we have to be careful as to how we classify the set up.... it is not SH if there are ventilation holes. I hope that I made the difference clear throughout the video, especially at the end.... hybrid is great depending on environment and orchid in question, as per your example. I have my asconcentrum growing roots every which way but still managed to keep that one root in the pot since it started to grow down. I would not want ventilation holes in any of my selfwatering or semi hydro pots, just because of how the roots behave and will grow out of the holes... and big doo doo when it comes time to repot. In my opinion, ventilation holes are for a wet / dry cycle set up. I don't want to come across as being pedantic about the different 'set ups' and how the pots should be, because everyone needs to know what works best for them, but to classify something and call it semi hydro when it is not, is misleading. I hope that I achieved that in this video 🤞🏼 hope your day is off to a great start!! Miss Schnauzer is back to being happy pup and that Arena has settled in and knows her place in the pack 👍🏼 harmony all around!! Thank you so much for watching, Michael 😘🌸
@@NinjaOrchids well, if we really want to be pedantic about names, semi-hydro is itself a misnomer. It would, more correctly, be called passive hydroponics (versus active hydroponics where water is circulated from a reservoir around the roots continuously). In reality, what we call SH is any setup with inorganic media that wicks from a reservoir. Self watering is simply a variation on SH but is still SH (like all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares). Rabbit holes, rabbit holes, rabbit holes.
My day may have started off with a bang. There are, possibly, three spikes starting on Dendrobium maccarthiae. I might 💩 my pants.😆
@@michaelmccarthy4077 woohooooo!!! That is great news! 🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🙌🏼👍🏼
Thank you ❤
😍Hi Mona 💐 Thank YOU!! How wonderful to see you 🫶🏼 I appreciate you for taking a moment to peruse my videos and leave comments so that I can thank you and also, wish you a beautiful day at the same time ❤️🌸
Griaß Di! Und dann kommen die Wurzeln aus den kleinsten Löchern. Als ich mir so ein Brenneisen kaufte, hab ich mich herumgespielt, Blümchen, Wellenlinien etc, sogar eine Unterwasserlandschaft mit Seepferdchen und Octopus (musste das Kunstwerk dann mit breitem Klebeband 'stabilisieren'😉). Das Eisen hat verschiedene Aufsätze. Bin froh, daß ich nur eine Phal. in so ein Kunstwerk umgesetzt habe.
Ich habe bei meinem Phaius eine Art von SH mit Wicker versucht, ohne Lochtopf. Jetzt sind Wurzeln im Reservoir, weiß und haarig 😮und der Neutrieb ist so groß wie der alte. Mal schauen, ob das auch im Winter funktioniert. Hoffe Dir geht es gut, 😘
Hallööchen Anna 😍💐eben!! was soll das? Es macht kein Sinn mit SH Löcher im Topf zu haben, ausser unten natürlich 😅 und, in SH mit Leca, macht es überhaupt kein Sin... für Nass / Trocken, immer eine gute Idee, aber wenn ich sehe dass viele mit diesen Löchern umhergehen und dann nur Leca benutzen, warte ich auf ein Video wenn es Zeit ist umzutopfen ... aber niemand zeigt so ein Video 🤷🏼♀️😬 Ich bin auch froh dass du nur eine Phal in so ein Kunstwerk umgesetzt hast. Dein Topf klingt niedlich 🤩 Phaius in SH geht ab wie Schmitt's Katze! Die Wurzeln sind irre!! Ich muss mich an meine Phaius ran machen aber ich brauche dazu ein riesen Bad um den Topf umzukippen und sicher zu stellen dass das Leca nicht überall hin rollt! Ich muss aber in den Topf.... es pressiert! Ich hoffe es geht dir gut, Anna! Das der Sommer vieles Gutes bietet!! EISKAFFEEEEEE!!!! 😍 Ich mach mir jetzt einen wärend der Vogel Freiflug hat. Have aber keine Sahne 👎🏼😠 wünsche einen super rest Dienstag, Anna!! Danke fürs vorbeischauen. Bussi 😘❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Ja, hab mir heute einen gegönnt, mit Vanilleeis und 'Schlag' in einem normalen Wirtshaus, 5,90 Euro, also bei manchen Sachen bin ich echt knausrig.
Viel Spass mit Deinem Vaseline-Phaius. 😘
@Anna Reiter I aa!! Und so a Wirtsheisl Eiskaffä is gnau wovon i schreibe!! Lecker 😋🤸🏼♀️
HOLY POTS NINA!!! 🤯
Interesting video .....
I'm going to try and open a new account later with a different address... Found out a certain busy body , Billy, squealed on me for having been suspended a few yrs ago!! I guess he's jealous that he made the mistake of blocking me over a joke/sarcasm he took the wrong way.. so now he continues to backstab me.... So I'll let you know when I'm back up and working again. Sorry for the hassles... He really needs to grow up! He can dish out sarcastic remarks to whomever, but he sure can't take it!! So Petty!!!
Love and Hugs Nina.... 👍🏻😘
Robert, hi!! 😍💐 Amen and HALLELUJAH!! 🤣🤣 thank you for watching and for your comment! So... when I got your email, I went to your account and could still write a message as per usual...just to test it out, but, it would appear that someone just does not understand the concept of 'MOVE ON!'!! wow!! How old is this person? 5??(rhetorical question... do not answer! Not interested! 🤪) please do not apologize ... there is nothing to apologize for, Robert!! Still my wingman, and always will be! No one ever showed up in my comments and told me that they had shared my video, 'just like that'! You did not know me from Eve, but still went out of your way to share videos... no questions asked, no idea how much help I needed and how desperate I was / am... so, never apologize to me for anything 😘 I am just sorry that you have to deal with the repercussions from a man child! I hope he leaves you alone from now one, because... this could be repeat behavior 🤨 For me, you are the Greatest Of All Time 🙏🏼🤗 Block that man child! Zero contact! People like that are toxic 👎🏼 hope your day is going well, despite the circumstances 😘 🌸
👍
Hi Marc 😍💐 I hope that my assumption that this video could be helpful with your decision making process, proved accurate! Wishing you much success with your project, and of course, seeing as I am biased... I hope the SH version will be the most successful 😆 thank you for watching! Hope your day was fabulous 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Fabulous, my day wasn't. Went outside between heavy rainfall, to water my outdoor, sheltered orchids. The following days will be worse. At least temperatures stay above 23°C.
The video was very informative. I'm always afraid that semi or full hydro would be to wet for Psychopsis but we'll see.
Thanks for your interest.
Hope today was better! 🫶🏼
@@NinjaOrchids Nope and neither is the coming week. But that's life. You have a great sunny weekend again.🌺🌻🌼
