- PictureMaria@gmail.com / Maria Young P.O. Box 580902 - My many different ways and techniques for watering and growing my vandas. With close to 100 vandas one must get very creative on how to take care of so many. So I wanted to share them with you.
Once again, Dr. Maria Young is at her bestest when it come to taking care of her orchids. Thanks again Dr. Young and thanks for sharing.
LOL!!! This Doctor is keeping her fingers crossed that the patient can pull through and recover! ...but one thing I can say is indeed I tried my best to save her...thanks for watching dear friend! :) PS How is your extreme propagation doing?
+MY Orchid Adventures They were taken/stolen from the home a while ago...I hope they are doing well. I moved the orchids recently to the sw side of the house for protection. Happy growing.
+SHARON SHORT How are your extreme propagation phalaenopsis doing? anxious to hear about them..
+SHARON SHORT THEY GOT STOLEN!!!! OH MY BEEEGEEEBERZ!!! I am so sorry to hear that...they aughta be ashamed of themselves! People ask me all the time if I get worried that someone would steal my orchids since I keep the outside and I never have given much thought about it...that really makes me worried because I keep my most expensive orchids (vandas) outdoors...some at almost 100 a pop! YIKES!
+SHARON SHORT Not so well...they got injured severely during the winter...one is knocking on orchid heaven's door...and the other one is still hanging on with all of her might... :( I will do an update soon....sniff, sniff.... :(
Wow - what a Vanda collection and all growing so well. Excellent advice all in one vid. Such good work. Thank you. And great to show some alternative ways to grow. There is never 'just one way' we can all agree some ways are better than others. But outdoors in the breeze and fresh air with plenty of hydration and excellent light levels - I would agree is 'one of the best' if not 'the' best way. When this lady talks, my advice would be to listen!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining me on my orchid adventures...and yes I am coming close to 100 vandas! YIKES!!! LOL!!! ...and I am definitely a grower that is not set on growing orchids one way and take every opportunity to find new, easier and better way of growing them...I have went against the grain in some of my methods...and I have won some and I have lost some...but I have always walked away with with an expanded sense growth with each experiment...and usually inspired with even more creative ideas that I'm anxious to try...so it is always an enlightened experience and never a lost cause or a wasted effort...by no means am I an expert...just a person that is very passionate about what I do, always willing to learn, GROW and share...again I thank you for joining me on my adventures and wishing you the absolute best in yours! :)
It's so nice you are making orchid videos again! :) Your vandas are amazing. Look at those roots!
Thank you and yes my vandas are loving growing in my vanda tree...I am glad to be back and capable of making videos again. Thank you for continuing to visit me in my orchid garden...it gets lonely here sometimes and indeed I appreciate the company. :) I hoping all is well and sending all my love you you and your or-kiddies! :)
I see that I have already liked your video each time i wanted to do so again!
😊 just in heaven binge watching your latest videos! I have a couple of vandas with roots so ridiculous that I can't figure out what to do with them. I'll try and post a vid and maybe you can lend some of your creative genius.
HA HA HA!!!! ....and thank you for that...awfully kind of you to say!!! Yea their roots can get pretty massive and tangling themselves everywhere like they had no sense! I keep having to run my fingers between the roots to make sure they didn't entangle themselves into one another! I have one vanda that secretly attached itself to my orchid tree and is hanging on for dear life...I'm not sure yet what my plan of action is...LOL!! ...and if they get to massive it is okay to cut them back...they are just so hardy they'll grow new ones in no time.
you've got a nice place for your orchids. thanks a lot!GOD bless
Mellanie Tolentino Thank you I have been very blessed with my experiences and my many wonderful adventures with these phenomenal orchids...they indeed are precious to me and I am very happy to be able to provide my babies with a happy home! :) Hoping you are enjoying your orchid adventures...and thank you so much for joining me on mine! HAPPY GROWING! :)
Now that is a lot of Vanda's! They all look so healthy and beautiful. You must have made this video with me in mind! Lol. You know my poor Vanda needs lots of help. Love the mini Vanda's in the bottles!!! Have a great wknd!
HA HA HA!!! Your doing fine with your vandas...some are just more finicky than others...they like to whine, sulk, and have temper tantrums....but with a whole lot of patience, LOVE, and understanding...they will come around and experience a transformation in their orchid lives...so continue to give them unconditional love and never give up on your or-kiddies...keep the orchid faith my dear! :) Have a wonderful week and HAPPY GROWING! :)
thanks for the reply i did not expect...good night! hope to see more of your orchids.
Thank you for taking the time out to watch my video...and indeed I appreciate all of my orchid friends. Hoping all is well and Mabuhauy Philippines!! :)
Very interesting and easy to grow if we are interested in orchids .
Yes there are so many ways to grow our orchids and we just have to find the best method that works for us. Thanks for watching and perhaps one day you will give them a try! :)
Sending this vid to a friend who has 2 huge vandas recently acquired. She asks for my opinion but I know nutting! Hers have heaps of keikis, so if you get time Maria, can you show us how to remove, or if you think maybe they should be left on the plants. Happy to see you back in the drivers seat with your vids.
Me know nutting too! LOL!!! I actually took a baby from mama about 4 years ago...and going based on my memory it is a little bit more tricky in the regards that they don't simply twist off...once it is safe enough to be removed usually they are at a good size with thick healthy roots and woody stem...so you would have to use something really sharp...and depending on the angle and position of the keikis and roots will determine how delicate you will have to be...but with patience you should be able to cut it away with no problem...just make sure keiki looks healthy enough and has at least 2 - 3 healthy roots. I myself am not in a habit of removing vandals keikis...I love seeing them as specimen plants and having 2 or 3 (or more) times the blooms...but of course if you have a limited grow space it could pose as a problem and can become frustrating...tell her I wish her the best of luck in whatever decision she chooses! :)
Yay, you're back.
YAAAAAAAAY!!! LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!! I AM SO GLAD TO BE BACK AMONGST SUCH WONDERFUL AND BELOVED FRIENDS!!! MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH! XOXOXO
Nice
Thanks Maria!
Thank you for watching dear friend! :)
WOW 😳😀😀 100 vandas. Lucky u!! congrats. Got 3 ASCDs & moved fr pot to 7'basket, shld I chg it to a 4' basket? Ianchored with the 4th wire on a 4-wire hanger? Trying to cope up with daily watering, lost a lot of roots. I'll try 1 of your suggestions. I live in CA & it's really hot.
Love all your vandas & the rest of ur collections.
thank you ...I learn sooo much
Thank you for watching and I am so happy it has helped. HAPPY GROWING!!! :)
thanks! good morning.
Mellanie Tolentino GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY ORCHID DAY TO YOU!! :)
Thank you for your tips ...
...sharing is caring... :) Thanks for watching and hoping all is well! :)
I might lave to look for a log, that was cute
I'll try (vanda in soda bottle) for my baby vanda... :D
Debby Citra Dewi That's awesome...I am hoping that it gives your little baby the extra boost it needs...just make sure that you allow it some fresh air also during the day to allow some good dry time. Keep me posted and HAPPY GROWING! :)
So jealous! I have a hard time dealing with vandas. I put one in pot and manage to rot all roots in lava rock...glad it has three roots growing out of the pot... I have some seedlings that refuse to grow. One almost mature vanda in basket bare roots that looks thirsty all the time so I soak the roots in water three times for 10 mins each time. I am in Columbia sc and it is hot and dry. Also I just ordered a vanda box... What am I thinking...
LOL!!! Yea I know vandas can be quite the difficult orchid because of their watering requirements...but don't give up...sometimes and depending on age, they can go through many phases. I find the smaller they are the more sensitive and difficult they are to deal with...I don't purchase any more tiny seedling vandas for that reason. I was told by a grower that for the first 5 - 10 years of their lives they grow extremely slow...and then afterwards they go through a growth spurt and make up for lost time...that's when they start growing normal (which is still very slow in my book). Usually when we get a mature orchid...believe it or not they are already about 5 - 10 years old. With that in mind if you purchase smaller ones...Yes indeed it is going to take a lot of patience...I have a vanda keiki growing now for about a year...with no growth at all....I keep looking at it like what's wrong with you and it keeps looking at me like what's wrong with me...Yea it's been quite a power struggle!! I can suggest perhaps when you soak your vanda you soak it longer...I usually bathe mine for a couple of hours...it won't hurt them and they just soak up more water. ...again sweetie it's going to take patience...but never lose the orchid faith...and you my dear...YOU CAN DO IT!!! HAPPY GROWING! :) :) :)

+MY Orchid Adventures yep. I totally can feel the pain. Well guess I should feel better that the vandas in the vanda box are mature plant.
At 6:14 into your video, you showed what you called a vining vanda. My neighbor moved away and left them to her new owner who does not have a clue as to how to take care of them. I asked if I could take them as she was about to throw the vine away. The flower you showed is exactly as the one she was throwing away. What is the name of that Vanda, so I can nurse it back to health. Live in Largo Florida.
That may well be, but you can't deny the results you get, and that is what we see.
awwwwww thank you...and yes I've very fortunate so far in my adventures...but indeed every day lends itself to another great learning experience...LIVE, LEARN, GROW, AND PROSPER! HAPPY GROWING MY DEAR! :)
fantastic
Thank you for watching! ...and HAPPY GROWING! :)
MY Orchid Adventures i live in sub tropical which my vanda teres grows their roots not only from the bottom but the whole thing
how am i suppose to water the whole thing,i cant put spaghnum moss around the roots they are easy to break
If you are growing them indoors...then the best way would be with a spray bottle or a mister...if you are growing outdoors then I would suggest a hose. This plant would require the entire plant to be watered....because for as many roots this plant can grow and the rooting grow habit that it has...it would be very difficult to try and attach moss or other material to the roots...but not impossible...just difficult and frustrating.
MY Orchid Adventures exactly ,and i have to spray them like once every 3 hours..
MY Orchid Adventures outdoor is even worse, 33 celsius or higher everyday,i just hate sub tropical
No one believes you know nuttin woman, else we wouldn't all watch you, lol. I agree about leaving it on, at least until she is more familiar with their care.
LOL! I'm not sure about that...I think people watch my channel because they know I am an orchid rebel...and they just want to see what wild and crazy thing I will I attempt to do next...LOL!!!
Hey thank you for the videos they are great. I have been gifted a few Vandas only one has an iD of Lawrence I Believe and they are large.do you know how I can train the the roots to be more manageable ? I live on Long Island in New York the air is dry with my humidifiers on high in the room with the orchis it only reaches 40%. I soak the Vandas about every other day over night. The roots look alive but not happy. Do you have any recommendations?. I have really debated cutting the roots back but I feel terrible doing it.Thank you
They roots are to wide to place in a glass jar
Help HELP , I'm glad I found your videos love love them the Vanda teres sorry don't know how to spell it lol I have one stem didn't know what it was till I found u LOL , how can I save the 1 stick I have no roots on the bottom and it is turning Brown going up from the stem but green on top any Help would be appreciated thank you so much !!!!!!
fantastic voice. you start a phrase in a low register, like a baritone. next you talk like miley cyrus and then you finish the sentence like a little girl without yodel Without stops you float on the sound like a hang glider
Should I keep vanda without green house or under the big tree
...you can keep it in either or...whatever works best for you? There are many different reasons why people choose to have different grow spaces...and it really is up to you...the adventure is yours to experience. :) HAPPY GROWING!
Hi! I'm new at collecting Vanda orchids. I'd like to ask for tips on how I can grow roots faster. I have six cuttings with blooming flowers but the buds at the top dry out and I don't know why. I water them everyday though.
What type of pandas are they and do you keep them indoors or outdoors. Sometimes the weather conditions can strongly effect the way the blooms blossom...may vandas don't like cold temperatures and will begin showing effects when they reach below 50 degrees sometimes in the roots or blossoms...also not enough water can also have ill effects on vandas. The best way to encourage roots is to water often and keep in a very warm humid environment. You can also try some putting moistened rooting hormone powder on the stem...that may help to promote root growth. But I will inform you that in the colder season the vandas and many other orchids will begin to slow down in its growth. I hope this helps and I wish you luck. Please keep me posted.
Very interesting! :-)
Indeed 🙄
Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)
orchids are quite expensive here in the Philippines
Mellanie Tolentino yes orchids can be quite pricey here in the USA as well...but I believe they are well worth it...I can't put a price on the happiness they give me...they have been well worth it and what I consider a great investment towards living a happy very satisfying life. :)
