Palmer orchida is such a wonderful nursery! Especially for brassavola type orchids They recently had one of the most if not the most beautiful orchid on their website recently.. and i have been obsessed with find it since. I have never been there in person but i hope to one day, but i live in VA The orchid they had that i saw and flipped out about was. C. Empress Worseley x B. culcullata. But they have been sold out since i saw it. I recently found one similar at Plantio la Orchideas. One of my absolute favorite places for Brassavola hybrids. Them and palmer are super duper amazing and ive never recieved an unhealthy plant. Nice and low key video. Yall grow beautiful plants! And i agree with the heaven scent redolence -L
autumn arrives when the days get shorter. I am withTristan on that one.Temperatures go down as a result. But I have mentioned before orchids do not respond to the temperature change but the light change that is why I'm with Tristan on that one. Temperatures for the cool growers just should not be too excessive. Watering in winter - the reason this was asked was again because people believe flowering in spring is related to watering habits in winter. It's not. You water less to avoid rotting the roots. It has nothing to do with whether the orchid will flower or not. The question was asked with the person believing that possibly a single drop of water will cancel the orchid flowering the next year. Ah the myths we learn getting into this hobby ey. Talking of, keiki's are not formed from fertilizing in winter. I have fertilized dendrobium nobiles through winter. I have also read a 3 year dissertation on a student making a scientific trial on the subject concluding fertilizing in winter does not result in more keiki growth. This is more to do with changing the light pattern of the plants. Ie importing a dendrobium from the other hemisphere and thus switching its season. There is no scientific evidence to suggest fertilizing in winter is the cause of keiki formation yet every new orchid grower is led to believe this. But don't mind me. I'm like Tristan and will perform the experiment to determine the result for myself, I learnt not to trust what others said would happen a long time ago cause you just can't trust half the things you learn online.
Thank you for sharing. I have a question about Epsom salt. What do you think about using it on the orchids? What does it really do for them? I do use Cal-mag.
Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate is excellent for providing a good source of magnesium to your orchids and other plants. We definitely advocate for it's use. We personally use it here at the house and at the nursery we work at. If you're using a Cal-Mag then in theory you should have sufficient amounts of Magnesium available to the plants, but leading up to the winter we still like to give them a couple applications of Epsom Salts to ensure the magnesium is high in the plants. 1 Tablespoon/1 gallon of water should be perfect. Don't mix it with other fertilizer though as the electrical conductivity of the Epsom salt solution is already pretty high and you don't want to increase the EC further or you could damage root tips. All this being said, if just continue your Cal-Mag and regular orchid fertilizer without the Epsom salt you'll still likely have healthy plants.
Really a good Idea to having this kind of video is like been in class, I really appreciate it and I love a young and cute couple like you involve so much in Orchids this is a plus 😍
Love these types of videos as I'm always interested in the questions people ask just as much as the answers haha! Great video!

Are you able to do any videos on what you do at Palmer or take us on a green house tour there?

@@IngramOrchidsandMore Thank you very much. I did one epsom salt treatment and I’ll do another next month. Thank you for sharing your orchid wisdom!🌸
Can you share the birth month orchid list?
There are several lists out there, but here’s the link to the one I used! ❤️
