i wanted to thank you for this recipe. I tried it and i have to say wow! I had vandas that i bought at least 4-5 years ago that were mature but never bloomed. Now after i followed your recipe, not only i got a lot of beautiful new roots but also the vandas bloomed. Thank you again Doc.
Hello Sandra, Wonderful! I am so happy that you've tried it and gotten your desired results. I have tested it and it has worked for me. 🥂💖👍 Thanks for the feedback.
My eyes is not blinking to much doc because i really amazed the flowering vandas that you have.. i also subscribe to enjoy your more videos... hi im from the pholippines❤❤❤
Hello Ann, Lol. I'm so happy you've enjoyed my beautiful vanda. They certainly knows how to put on a show. Thank you so much for the sub, there are a lot more for you to see. It's really great having you visiting from the Philippines, I would love to visit your country some day. One love from Jamaica. 💖😎🌴
Hi Doc…Thank you for being so kind and always willing to share your methods with us….your orchid patch is looking very healthy and I like those metal stakes you made…looks really attractive in the bed…def gonna try that fertilizer tip cause you do have healthy looking roots..blessings always 🙏🏼
Hello Nano Mc. You are most welcome, Yes I find that the orchids loves the tlc they are getting 😄 so they reward me. 😄 Yes I really like those metal stakes, they take a bit a muscle though to make them. 🦾😁. If you have newly planted plants you should definitely try using that fertilizer. Blessings🙏
Hi Sandra, yes it is. You know we aim to learn new and safer ways for growing our plants. Been awhile. Good to hear from you. 🥂🙏💖. Have a blessed week.
Hey Epe, yes it is quite interesting, and believe me it works. You really should try it on your Cym and see what happens. Best of luck. One love from Jamaica. 🥂💖
Hi Precious, I have my vanda orchids in my green house for 2 years now and the are healthy looking with lots of roots but not blooming!the are very long.plz for some care tips.
Hey Karen, Vanda orchids requires sunlight to inspire blooms. Please check on that as you may need to gradually acclimatize e them for outside of the greenhouse, especially if the shade mesh is more than 50%. Try that and let's see what happens.
Healthy n gorgeous roots. I myself has been using the MSG n can agree that it works wonders. Never combined it with molasses even though I've used molasses otherwise. Need to use them together. Thanks for sharing . Have a great week.
I'm not really sure as I've not had that experience. For sure though it induces roots. Keiki is usually produced when the plant is in trouble and in response to saving itself it sends out baby plants. 🤷🏼♀️
Yes Rosie, the roots are super healthy. You should try it with the molasses and you will even get better results. I'm so happy you can attest to the expected results. Thanks for stopping by. Have yourself a blessed week. 🙏🥂💖
I saw the MSG video on YTUBE but didn't try it now I have to try it I like how you added the molasses which gives the plants a little sugar plus iron etc. love it. will definitely use it on my orchids especially the Vandas. Thank you. love your beautiful orchids ❤❤😊
Hey Joan, yes the MSG use has been out there for sometime now. It took me sometime to try it myself and now I see where it worked for me. Happy gardening. 💖🥂🙏
Hello 😊 Hope you are doing well. I enjoyed your video. I love seeing your gorgeous blooms 😍 Your orchids always look so nice and healthy with vibrant blooms. I would love to try this, especially as I've been acquiring more vandas in collection. Thank you so much. That is an amazing tip 😳🤩 Warm greetings from TnT 😎🌴☀️💕
Hello Nicole, it nice hearing from you my TnT friend. I am well so far and I do hope you are well too. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. My orchids loves the tlc hence they reciprocate. 😁😎. Please try this fertilizer mix especially when you want them to become established quickly. Always a pleasure hearing from you. One love from Jamaica 😎🙏🥂💖
Hello Ivy, thanks for the kind words. I am really not aware of anywhere locally that sells the organocide 3 in one. Happy growing friend and I do hope you will be able to source it. Blessings!
Hello Sheryl, thank you so much! Some persons recommend fertilization of newly potted plants after a month or so, however I start after immediately. As a matter of fact, I soak the plants using a fertilizer mix before planting them. I promise to do a video on this very soon. Happy growing. 🥂💖
Good evening from Naples, Florida. Can’t wait to try the MSG and molasses. How often do you fertilize your orchids? I like to thank you for sharing your methods I appreciate your kindness. I love to see your vandas they have vivid colors and look so healthy. Thanks again. God Bless
Hello Mercy, good to have you from Naples. Lol yes you should try the MSG and molasses it really works. I fertilize my orchids at least once per week. Thanks for the love Mercy. Best wishes 💖🥂👍
Hey Sher, sorry for the late response. Yes that the one I use. I've never tried any other. You perhaps could and let me know the result of that. Happy growing. 🥂👍😎
Good morning Orchid Doc. Thanks for the guidance on the care of Orchid roots. Yes, quite interesting. A question. How frequently do you apply the solution to your Orchids??
Hi Pansy, you are most welcome. It always depend on what you want to achieve from your fertilization routine. It can be used weekly if it is that you want the plants to concentrate on rooting. Good to hear from you. Have yourself a blessed day.
Interesting mixture of MSG and molasses. Some people use honey on cuttings in lieu of hormone powder to encourage rooting. I wonder scientifically why the MSG works. Can you send a link for the MSG use video from Vietnam?
Hi Pat yes it is indeed an interesting mix. Actually some persons mix it with the honey instead of the molasses. Please see a link sharing the possible reasons why it works. ruclips.net/video/9bvz6X-UQmo/видео.html . Good luck and thanks for your comment.🥂😀👍🙏
What is, M S G? I bought a young Catalyia, and the root turn brown, I love Orchid , I have some on my verandah doing fi e but not blooming as yet, what can I do to restore my Catalyia?
MSG is a salt Monosodium glutamate which is a food enhancer. Some persons call it seasoning salt. Your cattleya seem to need something to enhance root generation. You could try using a high phosphorous fertilizer. No harm in trying the MSG. It actually works. Good luck and happy growing.
I will try this recipe on my orchids. Will update you for results. Just wondering -- have you had ants because of the molasses? or maybe the MSG kind of helped as a deterrent?? Thanks again, a new fan here.
Hello there new friend, please try it, I find that it really works. I didn't find any ants on the plants as a result of the Molasses. Happy to have you on board. One love 🥂
I too am experimenting with MSG never used molasses with it. I noticed Keiki growth as well. Not sure if because of the use of it this is happening. Please let me know if you get keiki growth since the use of method. Can you tell me where did you get the molasses
Hello K, that is not my experience at all. Don't forget that keiki develop when the plant is in trouble. I actually got my molasses from a friend many years ago and recently decided to use it on the plants. You can get it to buy in the supermarket. Best wishes. 🙏🥂
Hi Doc I bought a Vanda Douglas today but it has no roots at all. It was just a dehydrating stem cutting. I soaked in some water for an hour then set it to dry. I plan to keep up this treatment while the plant recovers from being imported. I also read that it is potted in a combined mixture of coconut coir, garden soil and charcoal. Do u have any advice on this specific Vanda plant?
Hey Diana, congratulations on the purchase of your Vanda Douglas. You need to add something to the water that will help to inspire root growth. I tend to use the MSG with the molasses when I buy these new dehydrated plants. Best of luck and sorry for the delayed response.
Wow doc healthy looking vandas and roots look amazing. When u say MSG. Do you just get the regular chicken cubes which contains msg or just plain msg. Interesting fertilizer.

Extremely interesting Doc. Always appreciate learning new tricks. How often do you use it and do you use it with or separate from fertilizer? I get so excited to see the Vanda with pink and orange blooms. She catches my eye every time. They look wonderful.

What about ants?
Not an issue at all!
Would it attract 🐜 ants?
Hello Linda, I do not have that experience with the mixture attracting the ants. I never really seen ants drawn to my molasses. Blessings for 2023.
