Prayers for your mom and loved ones Rick. Your videos Are always a refuge of peaceful energy in my day. I hope you all have a nourishing, restful and lovely weekend. 🌱🌸❤️
Your outdoor space will make for very happy orchids! All the best to your mom in her recovery. A positive mindset is so important in moving past unexpected happenings.
Great video, Rick. Sending much love to you both and keeping you close in prayer. I'm so sorry to hear your mother in law had that bad fall and needed surgery. Love your backyard, enjoy those moments. {{{{{{Tender hugs for you and Jan}}}}} Appreciated to instructions on how you built your shade area.
I’m glad everybody is doing well in your family especially your mom, looks like she’s recovering well and fast. Good luck with the summer growing and like you said, let’s all enjoy the wonderful things GOD give us in our day to day life.
Hello Rick, I tried water culture and clay pebbles with my orchids, then I found you. Thank you for all your valuable information and for lava rocks, pond rocks and pebbles! I know I will be much more successful with my orchids
Hi Rick, so sorry to hear about your mother, I hope she has a speedy recovery. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and blessings. I have never seen an orchid grower like you, with such a enormous wealth of knowledge that shows in all of your orchids. Never seen such fast and healthy growth in a short amount of time you have been growing. I am always anticipating on your next video.
Yay! It's that time of year again. I love your shade canopy. Can't wait to see everything out there. Hope Jan is doing well and glad to hear your mom is ok! That's a blessing.
So nice to hear your voice. Very sorry about your mom taking that fall and breaking her hip. Can’t believe y’all had one more thing. She sounds fabulous, a real trooper. Sending her all my best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery. Your plants are looking great as does all your outside set up. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you!
My orchids just went out a few days ago. They seem to be enjoying the warmth and light already. New growths are everywhere. This year I have several genera I did not have last year so it will be all about balancing the light and moisture needs of everyone. I'm excited about it though. I'm burning through my fertilizer faster than I expected too.
You know Rick The world seems to send the “hard yards” to folk that it knows can deal with them The universe recognised the strength in you and Jan Truly amazing. And thank you for your knowledge
Please send my love and well wishes to your mom! Relieved to hear she is up already! Grateful she is close by you now, I am sure and wish her a happy mothers day! After you got me hooked on African Violets again in my life, have now purchased my very first orchid! After all these years watching you from AV to orchids, believe I have enough courage to grow one. Well see... I purchased a Oncidium off ebay yesterday. I feel a good one to tip my toe in to set myself up to have a positive. I am excited! Thank you!
@@rickl.orchids Hey Rick. Received my Orchid I ordered today from ebay. Beautiful mature plant having spikes. Want to send you a picture... Right now, soaking in plain rain water as it appears dehydrated some. My question is will the Oncidium bulbs (? part of plant from which the leaves grow from) fill out smooth once wrinkled? Plant does need some Jack's but did not want to throw anything at it until next watering so it can adjust to new home. Or should I? Found the part a and part b Jacks on ebay in smaller version ( to let you and others know, seller is selling 12oz, 3lb and 6lb sizes I feel relatively cheap). Orchid did come from grower in LA (100% awesome positive seller), however I am in Ohio and temps are in 60's to 70's average at this point in season. Would love to send picture to show you the wrinkles so I know if I should be concerned if they don't fill out..... I know I have told you this before over the years, THANK YOU. If not for you, to this day would not have grasped why, what, how to feed and water my plants. Like you, may find some of my AV homes and go to the less needy Orchid! :) Yours, Tina
HI Rick, I have been sort of "away" for a while. Doing my usual winter depression. I have recovered from having a shoulder replacement. That took a lot of rehab! After hearing your story, I think I've had it pretty easy. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. It is comforting to believe that they are now in a better place. I am delighted to hear that Jan is doing so well, and you sound good. I always love to see what you're doing with your Orchids and wish and hope that I could garner some of your magic touch. I believe I only have a fraction of a number of Orchids that you have. Mine are mostly fouls. Much to my surprise, I have had two that have re-bloomed and I have two that have bloom spikes on them - - A real change for me and mostly due to information I've gleaned from you and from Danielle. Know that you and Jan are in my prayers and I hope for you a much better year. Thanks for all that you give us, Rick. It is important for us to share our knowledge so that it can go onto new generations.
" It is important for us to share our knowledge so that it can go onto new generations."........I couldn't agree more......thank you Karen.......I pray for your recovery and that you get full use of your shoulder back........I had my left replaced 3yrs ago .......I have 100% use and movement, and its much better than the original....use it as much as they will allow you to use it.....blessings my friend.
Ouch! I'm so sorry hearing about your Moms fall. Thanks for sharing your plants updates. I'm very excited to see your orchids outdoor again. You've been busy with your garden. Blessings for All of you!!
Hello Rick. Thank you for your video. So envious of the weather you are enjoying. I could almost feel the sun and warmth you are experiencing. I believe we will finally see temps in the low 70’s later this week. Just a couple of days ago I saw a couple of snowflakes, while further north in the state, suffered through another 10+ inches of snow. Gotta love Minnesota. My orchids are still down in their grow room for a few more weeks. Would definitely love to hear more about your outside orchid structure. I’m specifically interested in what kind of posts you use to support your structure and where you found them? Life has certainly thrown you and Jan more than a fair amount of punches in the past year. I commend you for how fervently and graciously you both handled each one-growing not only spiritually, but with more tenacity, perseverance and a passion toward what ever lifeventure lays ahead. As always you both are in my thought as I aimlessly wander amongst my orchids. Karen
Karen......very kind thank you............the canopy fitting's are 1-3/8"......they are made to be used with chain link fence railing.......its very cheap, found everywhere, and can be made into any type or size of structure..........fingers crossed for an early spring......
Rick L. Orchids Again thank you. Would love to see a more detailed video about constructing the structure and the accessories used to assemble. Being spring I’m sure others might benefit. Maybe in your spare time. Ha
I am sorry about your mother, hope that she is doing well now. Actually I did not grow orchids for hobby, I had only one Cattleya, I grow African Violets for hobby. After I follow your posts for sometime; you might be surprised that I went to an Orchid farm a couple of hours' drive last Sunday. I had 20 Cattleyas back home with me, orchid sold here in this country is inexpensive. Cattleya $6 for a mature plant. As I had mentioned I love every of your posts, Rick- thank you so much!
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! I've stumbled on those steps myself quite a few times. I'm glad your mom is doing okay and hope that she'll be 100% very soon. She sounds like a real fighter, just like you! :) Is it just me or does it seem like we've gone straight from winter into summer, lol! It will be wonderful to see all of your plants outside once again! :) Blessings and prayers from Caro
I'm happy you still have your mom. I know you don't take her for granted but some do. I lost the only person I knew as a mom as a teenager well I mite of been 20. After going though enough heart attacks that I lost count she had one will alone. It's as ok as it can be because after thanking me for her extended life she signed a do not resuscitate order.
Great to catch up on you again. Your structure looks great. I'm sorry to hear about your mom but it's wonderful that she's a fighter. Sorry for your losses. Tammy from N AL.
Hi Rick, nice to see a new video. Love everything your doing. Prayers for your Mom, Jan and you Rick to all have a very healthy healing. Love all your video's. God Bless from Michigan 🥰
Praying for your mom now. Bless her. She raised a wonderful son and you chose such a great lady for a wife. Hugs to both of you. Your plants look awesome! Thanks for all your info on orchids and plants. I for one, am not surprised that you have so many subscribers. You have a knack for welcoming people and easily share tips you learn about plants. I am sure you will have many more subscribers in the future.
Hi Ricky! Lovely to get this Spring video preparing for bringing your orchids back outside. I really admire seeing your shaded space, perfect! So sorry to hear about your mums accident, but really happy to hear she’s recovering really well. Your so right not everyone gets over that when they are elderly. Your mom sounds like a strong determined lady just like you and your Jan. Well Ricky I’m so happy to hear you and Jan and Mum made it through a tough difficult winter and wish you all, all the joys love and happiness that Spring and Summer can bring. God Bless, and big hugs from across the pond xxxxxx
Love your extended shade structure- nice job! I’m so sorry your mom fractured her hip - you, Jan and your families have sure been troubled with hardships this past year. Yet, Jan has been blessed with good news and advancements, and you are still strong and blessing us with your orchid tutorials. Blessings abound for us all! God is Good and watches over us with Grace and Abundance. ‘I shall not want. . . for Thou art with me’’. Such a simple, yet powerful prayer. It’s my rock in the hardest times. Prayers of love and healing to you and yours!
Wonderful to see your garden coming back for spring. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. Prayers for your Mom to heal and for you and Jan. I'm watching my way through all your past videos and enjoying them very much 😊 Take care, Nicki
Hi Rick and Jan, what a winter and spring its been! Lets hope that the summer is uneventful and you have many peaceful moments. Well your shaded area is looking very professional, just a few sliding/rolling tables and you're in business 😁! Looks like it will be easier to care for everything. I watched the other video this morning and all your orchids are looking magnificent (not that im surprised). There are always one or two phals that i cant keep a spike after blooming, I always thought it was genetics, it will be interesting to see if you can get the mottled phal to keep its stem next spring. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Calm winds and following seas my friend...... Kelly
So sorry about your mom. She’s a fighter; and if she’s up and pushing herself to get better then she will do great; especially with you both at her side for love and support ❗️💞
Hi Rick, thanks God everyone is doing better. I followed your advice with the CalMag and the phals, and let me tell you the difference is fantastic, they rebloom! Thank you
Lovely video, I always think plants benefit so much from being outside. Can't wait to see all your plants. All the best to your Mom, Jan and you. God bless all of your family.
I just saw this and it is the day after mothers day. I have tried to call but to no avail. I am very sorry about your dad and Jans mom. My very sincere sympathies. 👉👵👈
hi rick we ( our out door orchids) getting a bad times in less then 24 hrs ? A cyclon name FONI now arround 500km away and heading towards bay of bangal . God knows what happens ! mine 300+ orchid placed at out door garden !! Any way : You replied in one of my Q that p&k has nothing to do in blooming orchids Why we use p&K ? what effscts blooming then ? awaiting to listen from you .
Mr. Rick, could you give advice for helping a mini Phal orchid with no roots? I cut back the flower spikes. I tried to make it grow with the tea bag method. And I just, I really wanna save him.
…..if you can add a few drops of calmag and a few drops pf Kelp/seaweed to some very good water...…...let it soak for 30 minutes a day...…..see if roots don't pop out.
Rick do you still do African Violets? If so would it be ok if I ask some questions? I did avs 40 years ago and life changed and I had to give it all away. Now I want back in. It is good to hear you with a smile on your face with this post. Have a great day.
Which video do you have your terracotta pot clip where it fits onto the pot and has just a little small hook that it will fit onto shelving or some kind of wire rack that will hold a terracotta pot security. I can kind of remember but I cannot find your video I have been looking what I kind of work up is not really ideal but it does work but I would like to have a nice clip easily made and actually doesn't look like a chunk of metal. It is good to hear from you help both of y'all are doing well and truly anxious to see your babies. I will tell you one thing I have used your lava rocks and your way of doing things for cattleyas and it has work awesomely for me. I had one Cattleya since 95 it grew but it never flowered for me and it was only one lead at a time oh God about 6 now all on the same plant it's amazing a little knowledge can be dangerous your plants can grow let's see if I get a flower out of this one. I have to admit that I put my other cattleyas that I have purchased because I got brave and had some success and I use the hydro balls they are working well also. Can't wait for what you teach us this year. Keep thinking and we will keep listening.
Hello Rick Thanks for all the Great Great answer you made in your last but b4 your Video describing Auxin issues !! I am a grower like you . Out side growing use Rocks as media with RW/RO following TDS & Ph reading and yse same nutriant /Feed/Supliments like you less jack, Garden lime and kalpn surely following as learnt from you. recently 14 of my catt/Den are transplanted from coco husk to rock! I am concerned about transplant shock, I came to know Vitamin B1 contain humic acid can thrive out transplant shock . Should i use them ? can you tell me how to use ? single mix with ro? at what ppm or can mix with regular feed ? Or you gave better suggessions to this situation !! Thanks , My prayer for Rickky jan and their green around !!
humic acid helps the plant absorb nutrients....makes the nutrients more easily absorbed.....but they aren't nutrients and don't provide enough for the plant to grow...…..for a newly transplanted plant.....I would recommend calmag and kelp/seaweed...….the hormone's will tell the plant to grow roots......and the calcium will allow it to grow....Humic acid is fine on healthy plants with good roots....
Rick L. Orchids rick you said just oposite what the B1 Bottle says they says This B1 has humic acid like chamical which help plant replacement to survive ! That i am confused what they mean by " humic acid like chamical" Sound logical if the root not healthy how the hormon can work for her ? you sound logical for humic acid !! not sure about B1 vitamin i am talking to you !! Do you suggest we suggest application of humic acid or B1 Should be mixed with other feed? Or A single mix and what ppm it should be used. !!
" humic acid like chemical"...…….means probably an artificial or synthetic form of humic acid...…...B1 has a short shelf life in bottles...…..such as Super Thrive...…..so Im not a big fan...…….B1 is good for plants and humic acid is good for plants...…..but not needed for repotting...…..you can use them......but I see no difference.
This is an awesome build for the orchids, very comfy for them. Blessings for you and fam and soon recovery for your mom.
Prayers for your mom and loved ones Rick. Your videos Are always a refuge of peaceful energy in my day. I hope you all have a nourishing, restful and lovely weekend. 🌱🌸❤️
thank you my friend.
Your outdoor space will make for very happy orchids! All the best to your mom in her recovery. A positive mindset is so important in moving past unexpected happenings.

Great answer you made in your last but b4 your Video describing Auxin issues !!
I am a grower like you . Out side growing use Rocks as media with RW/RO following TDS & Ph reading and yse same nutriant /Feed/Supliments like you less jack, Garden lime and kalpn surely following as learnt from you.
recently 14 of my catt/Den are transplanted from coco husk to rock!
I am concerned about transplant shock, I came to know Vitamin B1 contain humic acid can thrive out transplant shock . Should i use them ?
can you tell me how to use ? single mix with ro? at what ppm or can mix with regular feed ?
Or
you gave better suggessions to this situation !!
Thanks , My prayer for Rickky jan and their green around !!
humic acid helps the plant absorb nutrients....makes the nutrients more easily absorbed.....but they aren't nutrients and don't provide enough for the plant to grow...…..for a newly transplanted plant.....I would recommend calmag and kelp/seaweed...….the hormone's will tell the plant to grow roots......and the calcium will allow it to grow....Humic acid is fine on healthy plants with good roots....

rick
you said just oposite what the B1 Bottle says
they says
This B1 has humic acid like chamical which help plant replacement to survive !
That i am confused what they mean by " humic acid like chamical"
Sound logical if the root not healthy how the hormon can work for her ?
you sound logical for humic acid !! not sure about B1 vitamin i am talking to you !!
Do you suggest we suggest application of humic acid or B1 Should be mixed with other feed?
Or
A single mix and what ppm it should be used. !!
" humic acid like chemical"...…….means probably an artificial or synthetic form of humic acid...…...B1 has a short shelf life in bottles...…..such as Super Thrive...…..so Im not a big fan...…….B1 is good for plants and humic acid is good for plants...…..but not needed for repotting...…..you can use them......but I see no difference.

No use to buy B1
