I am always in the mood to try and find out new and different methods to growing orchids...some are a bit extreme to say the least but I believe is necessary to the discovery of what is truly capable...you never know until you try.
That's really cruel...
Zachary Kenniston It can be considered that, but it really is no different than when people do a top cut to propagate their orchid, or cut off the keiki from the mother...it's a way and a technique of growing plants in general. The plant is alive and well today and is spiking.
It's been proven that plants can feel pain like us. Their roots are their brains. If you could stick a nail into an animals neck to make it have babies, would you? Of course not. Just because you can get it to clone itself does not mean it's morally right. Just because the plant survived Does not mean it did not suffer agonizing pain when those nails were driven into its rhizome. I have many plants and they are just like pets to me. They are my friends and just because society does something for profit does not mean it's ethically or morally correct. Thank you for listening.
Zachary Kenniston I got to ask you as a gardener/grower do you grow every single one of your plants by seed and by hand? ...because if you haven't, I am willing to bet you have some plants already in your collection that have went through some form of propagation whether it be through cloning, grafting, division...etc...There are some plants that would actually be extinct today if it were not for our capability to conserve through propagation. We are able to have majority of the orchids that we have today through propagation methods and without disturbing the plant population or destroying natural habitat for this reason...So there are many ways to look at this...so let's just say that we can agree to disagree and leave it at that. HAPPY GROWING! :)
I care about all life forms and was not trying to be rude. I just think that despite the plants survival it probably suffered a lot. They have physical and emotional well being just like us animals. You should look up root brain theory... Putting a nail through its rhizomatous brain would certainly be agony for the vanda. And ripping away its be or would make it feel emotional anguish. They are just like animals and people. Why can't the world except it!?
Zachary Kenniston I wasn't trying to be rude either but just like you gave me your perspective, I have a right to give you mine. ...and since you brought up the fact that you are concerned about ALL life forms and all of our food source eventually can be traced back to plants...what is your opinion on plant consumption for the sake of our survival...because we have to eat in order to live right? What makes it right to put our lives above theirs knowing that they must suffer and die in order for us to live? ...That's a serious and logical question...how do you feel about that because I am sure you've eaten plant life before or animal life that feeds off of plants or you wouldn't be alive today. ...and even taking plants from their natural habitat and cultivating them and forcing them to live under our conditions can also be viewed as a form of cruelty along with making them our "pets"...did anyone ask the plant if it wanted to be someone's pet and taken away from their home...we can go on and on with this...like I said, we can agree to disagree on certain things...I don't often do extreme propagation methods...but from time to time I will to further learn about what they are capable of...and in the end it is my choice on how I grow my orchids. I hope I didn't offend you...but again I also have the right to share my perspective.
Omg!!!!I felt that nail in my foot. Ouchyyyyy. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
HA HA HA!!! Yea it was like nailing wood...the stem was so thick...I felt it too!!!! OUCHY!!!!! LOL!
MY Orchid Adventures ha hah you are funny girl ! Thanks for your video
I force keikis by cutting them between the roots. Been successful in this method.
That is very interesting...so between two roots growing right?
hahahhh i cant stop laughing ..go Maria love your orchids
LOL!!!! YAAAAAAY! LAUGHTER IS THE KEY TO LIVING A HAPPY FUNFILLED LIFE!!! Thank you so much for joining me on my orchid adventures...and LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH...AND GROW ORCHIDS! :)
Ahhhhhh! It is a torture of horror!!!! Kidding! Maria! I applaud to you. I wish the best of luck.
Very nice
Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
That was difficult to watch but I know that if anyone can do what they say, it would be you! Your walk on the wild side is always quite fun and educational at the same time. :)
LOL, That Guy Vanda must have went to College, had a Million dollar a year Career, driving not a Ferrari(so clique') but an Aston Martin, be llightly tanned with signs of tautness, and over 5'9'' and willing to spend whatever a date desires to deserve such high praise. Dendrobiums must be the answer. Another plant that responds to the wound method is Clematis Vine. It will grow roots when scraped on the side facing down and then placed barely under soil and kept moist.Honeybees LOVE Clematis and are very spectacular blooms.
LOL! ...yes there are many plants that respond to the wound treatment or by cutting the leaves or stems...those are indeed the plants I love. Many times when I go shopping for plants those are the ones I look for. I believe that you should only have to buy one plant and never buy them again with the propagation method. I wish it were that simple with orchids...I would save a whole lotta money! LOL!
I thought you were going to do a top trim off. But this looks more interesting! And love the way you talked to your vanda like he is a brave soldier lol
Really interesting experiment! Cannot wait to see the result!
Thank you...yes I thought this was a very interesting way of propagating...of course it is risky, but worth venturing out to see if this is yet another possible method of propagating. I am hoping that the injuries were only enough to send it into survival mode...but not enough to kill the parent plant...I checked it today and it seems to be fairing well...no types of discoloration or any indications of any weakening...hoping it continues in this manner so that it will have enough energy to give off those much anticipated babies...keep your fingers crossed for us and indeed stay tuned... :)
Interesting ! I will definitely stay tune to see the results ... Good luck with the experiment 😊
Thank you for joining me on my orchid adventures...and indeed stay tuned of the results...I too am very excited to see what can become of it...fingers crossed that it is a successful experiment. :)
Wow! How many vandas!😍
HA HA HA...RIGHT!!! I probably have close to a hundred vandacious orchids...YIKES!!! I have such a weakness for them! My brain keeps saying enough is enough...but my hands don't seem to understand the concept!!! ..'it's a stupid concept anyways!! In the orchid world...everyone knows there's no such thing as having enough!!! LOL!!!
And I thought for a minute there you were going to crush the stem with the hammer!!! Good luck - the theory is good and we'll all have to wait to see how it reacts.
HA HA HA!!! OH NO, I AM NOT TRYING TO KILL IT...I'm just giving it just enough to shock it a little...the healing capability of a vanda/orchid is incredible...especially the stem area...they almost heal themselves overnight...so I'm not worried about it recovering from that...just a little concerned that with the procedure and development of keikis there is a high probability that this may be set back in it's blooming process and could be a while before we see another flower again....sniff, sniff...teardrop... :(
Good luck Maria!
Thank you and we indeed are going to need it!!! YIKES! :)
Maria thanks for uploading videos, you have been missed. In this video, I caught a glimpse of your max. Tenoufolia that you propagated a while back. Would love to see and update video!
....awwwww thanks so much and I do appreciate it...so glad to be back and in business...I thought by now someone would've filled my shoes...but I am so happy to receive such a warm welcome back...feels like home!!! :) ...and yes that crazy maxillaria that swears he's a vanda is doing so awesome...one of the most hardest orchids that I have!!! ...each propagated segment took well and is flourishing...there were no losses in this project and he bounced back rather quickly...this year he gave me about 40 blooms...what a difference from the measley 3 I received last season...so he indeed is a happy camper...I will do an update on max...and thanks for suggesting!!! HAPPY GROWING!! :)
crazedbubblejay ...just did the updat to my maxillaria!!! Hope you like it...titled Most Hardiest, Most Easiest to Grow. :) HAPPY GROWING! :)
crazedbubblejay ...just did the update to my maxillaria!!! Hope you like it...titled Most Hardiest, Most Easiest to Grow. :) HAPPY GROWING! :)
If you succeed, you definitely nailed it! :D
HA HA HA!!! GOOD ONE!!! ...and yes we are hoping we nail it!!! ....yet a 2nd time!!! :) :) :) :) :) LOL! HAPPY GROWING!!
I hope the keikis come very excited to see so i can try it
I hope it works too...a normal propagation for vandas would be to cut in segments ensuring you have at least 4 leaves and 2 healthy roots on the segment...but I didn't want to cut the plant completely...I want the original plant to stay intact...I just want it to have some babies and still continue to bloom and prosper...I am indeed keeping my fingers crossed. :)
Indeed..... I think it's her favorite word.
Yes indeed it is one of my most favorite! LOL! HAPPY GROWING!
I still have eyes closed can I open them now ?! oh my my I can't wait for the result Maria keep us updated please 🍀
HA HA HA!!! I KNOW RIGHT!!! The stem of a vanda is so thick...it felt just like I was hammering a nail through wood...it was a lot tougher than I thought...and the poor vanda went through a lot more than I intended...but surprisingly I when I checked it today it has no visible signs of the traumatic experience other than the puncture wounds which also seem to be recovering well...so I am sighing a very big sigh of relief...WHHHHHEEEEEW! ...and though we are far from being in the clear...so far so good! Keep your fingers crossed for the courageous lad....and indeed stay tuned!!! :) HAPPY GROWING! :)
thank you I will keep my fingers crossed it has to work I believe in your vandas Happy growing to you too :)
Thank you for your vote of confidence...and thank goodness I have the prime elements in nature that can assist this vanda greatly in its full recovery! I too believe in them and will keep the faith for a full and complete restoration. :)
I laughed almost the whole first three minutes. You're very entertaining! Thank you. Also, I never realized how VAST your collection is. How many do you have? Or do you even know how many you have? How many at last count? ;) Do you have a video of your entire grow space that shows how big it is? It's soooo pretty.
LOL!!! Thank you for your kind comments and sure do appreciate you joining me on my orchid adventures...and I have actually lost count...I don't even try anymore...LOL!!! ...and now I have 2 grow spaces...one outdoors which consist of mainly vandas and other garden plants and one indoors in my bathroom that houses a variety of different orchids...here is an old video of my orchid garden outdoors that shows you the size of my grow space...and no my plans didn't quite work out as planned in the video...that was before I created an orchid grow space indoors that now consumes a lot of my time...so unfortunately my orchid garden outdoors needs major work...perhaps next year I will fully be able to get to it...LOL!!! Thank you for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)
Here's the vid: ruclips.net/video/P1DtANPk7tc/видео.html
I can't wait to see the outcome! Ouch!!!
ME TOO!!!! I am anxious to see if we can make us some babies...this is such an unorthodox propagation method...so fingers crossed that it works! ...and yes..OUCH!!! ...but he was a good sport and assured me no hard feelings and he understood the mission at hand... :)
wow. lots of words.
I'm afraid, you are so crazy I love your videos so much I fell asleep here last night. iI love you back. Our second orchid is blooming beautifully. It's rootbound in pot... I can see the roots coming out at the top of the pot . I want to propagate this orchid, it is already growing out young new shoots as well(three of them)so which of your videos suits my orchid.
HA HA HA! Thanks so much for your positive feedback...and I am so happy that my orchids have benefitted you on your orchid adventures! So tell me what type of orchid are we talking about here?
Do you sell vanda? They look so healthy, they (vanda) have become my latest obsession lol boredom I work and then I come home and that's all all right well just let me know Thank you have a great day
Hello! I´ve been thinking about making small cuts (with an utility knife) and spray some indole-3-butyric acid on it.
This acid can initiate the propagation of new roots. Have you ever tried it?
No I have never tried it...but indeed you should...and make a video of it so we can learn from your experience...I would love to see if it works. :) ...and if it does it would help other growers so much. :)
I´m glad that you adopted my suggestion in the video from aug-13th
I´ll try a video and share it in a couple months (with results)
+ga. pe Which one...the rooting hormone? I couldn't remember who suggested it...it was such a long time back... Thank you! :)
What is the result of this experiment??update pls...
This was so hard to watch!
OH NO!!!! I AM GLAD YOU SURVIVED...JUST IN TIME FOR ANOTHER EXPERIMENT!!! ;) LOL!
Updates?
How are those phals you did the extreme propagation I recommended? I'm curious
I wish I had some good news but one has passed on to orchid heaven...while the other one is barely hanging on by a thread...I left them out in my tree over the winter and the frost got to them... :( sniff...sniff...teardrop... :(
+MY Orchid Adventures that sucks big time! I have a little request if you don't mind, I'm super super super interested in how you acquire your second hand orchids, or some of the huge steals! I'm 15 and orchids are so expensive in California so I only have a couple dendrobiums and cattleyas outdoors. I'm so jealous of not only your weather but how you can get a hold of so many "orchids in a bag". I've searched EVERYWHERE from Home Depots and lowes calling and making requests. I remember buying my first cattleya in one of those bags at Home Depot for $7 😳! Can't seem to find them anywhere here anymore. If you could make a long video orchid hunting I'm sure a lot of people would love it too. The best videos are the longest LOL
+MY Orchid Adventures I tried this method on my oldest vanda! Crossing my fingers!
did it work?
Unfortunately it did not...it forced out a spike and bloomed instead...but what can you say...you never do know what these phenomenal creatures will do...and you win some and you lose some. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)
Yep. I agree lol
i force keiks on breaking the top stem
No keiki paste?
hi maria !!!! please update it when produce its keikis !!! i was stay tune
HELLO THERE JUSTIN!!! :) Thank you for joining me on my orchid adventures...and indeed I will keep you posted!!! Stay tuned for more and HAPPY GROWING!
i think you have this kind of vanda in your nusery ???
www.google.com.ph/search?q=vanda+sanderiana&biw=1366&bih=667&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwia8_mTqLHOAhVLFZQKHZWcArUQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=yeclvk9GGp-4gM%3A
+justin bieber I have some vandas that are crossed with the sandriana...but no full blooded ones...I do have one that's the alba kind that looks like a sandriana but is not at all...I do intend on getting one one day though...in my native country of the Philippines they grow wild...and is our national flower...so indeed it has sentimental value to me. :)
i guess you are a filipino ???? i am a filipino too !!! i think you can understand filipino language ??
+justin bieber Yes indeed....and I can understand a little better than I can speak it though...My father was in the military and I did leave while I was still a toddler...so speaking tagalog is a little bit difficult for me.
i just watched a possible murder scene shot on video, whom should i report to ?
YIKERS!!! If it's involving orchids...you should report it to THE ORCHID SOCIETY!!!! LOL! ;P
Next time just drill it. It safer for the orchid
does it produce keikis now?
I will be doing an update on this fella very soon...stay tuned for more and thank you for inquiring. HAPPY GROWING!!!
I cringed...good luck with the experiment!
I KNOW...ME TOO!!! I was so nervous the first time I hit the nail...it slipped and almost hit the vanda! YIKES!!! Thanks for watching and sharing some good luck with us...we are going to need it! :)
+MY Orchid Adventures LOL! I saw the hammer and thought you were gonna hit it haha good thing that didn't happen! I have some new ideas for my channel, changed it up and for now trying to get something interesting to film!
+My Tropical Backyard HA HA HA!!! Would I do such a thing!!! LOL! ...and yes reinventing yourself and coming up with something new can be a breath of fresh air and can prove to be beneficial...it's all about being creative and courageous in trying something new...my motto is...HOW WILL YOU EVER KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY!" So more power to you and best wishes of success in everything that you do! HAPPY GROWING DEAR FRIEND.. and I'll keep an eye out on your something new...HIGH FIVE!!! :)
+MY Orchid Adventures Thank you very much for those kind words, indeed positivity is always the way to go! Excited because this Sunday is my Birthday!
+My Tropical Backyard AWWWWWWWW HAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :) YAAAAAY YOU! ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST! YOU DESERVE IT! :)
Gee do you need to scream?
