Hi Nina, I have Maxillaria tenuifolia and Maxillaria tenuifolia Yamada AM/AOS (yellow). Yamada has a bloom spike , but coconut does not. In my invirorment the Yamada seems easier to get to bloom. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.🤗🥰👏
Hi Shirley 😍💐 I have to say that, I had already given up on my tenuifolia to ever bloom. I was suspect about it all these years, mislabelling being a big possibility etc etc. So, to get it to do this, this year, after last year I got a single bloom and settled for not having a vigorous bloomer... this makes me happy and has elevated the orchid to another level in my collection and opinion 😅 thank YOU so much for watching, Shirley! I hope that your other one comes around and starts to perform as well 👍🏼 have yourself a wonderful Monday, lovely lady 🌸
Yes! Such a beautiful powerful smell! Fills my grow room! One of my favorite plants, even when not in bloom. Love the way this plant grows! And it’s growing fast now!
Danielle 😍❤️🙌🏼❤️ hello my fellow orchid lover! I have to say that I have such relief that this orchid was not mislabelled, and finally bloomed properly! It took a long time when I thought I had bought a blooming size orchid 🥴 but here we are, and I am looking forward to the coming years. Now that I know I truly have a tenuifolia! 🙌🏼 thank you so much for coming over and watching, I so appreciate your time, as well as for joining in 🤗 hope your day is going beautifully 🌸
Hi Amina 😍💐 4 years!! 'how time flies!' 🙄😂 Goodness me, it felt like forever with this orchid, but, here we are and I am hopeful that it does this and more every year now! 🤞🏼the fragrance is beyond beautiful. Very pleased that, after all this time, she is not mislabelled! 🙌🏼 thank you so much for watching, Amina! I hope you had a wonderful Sunday ❤️🌸
HI Debbie 🤩💐 welcome!! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here, I really appreciate it! This orchid has been a pretty green centre piece for my patio table for many years, but finally... finally we can add some months of pretty green centre piece with a pop of color to that now 😅 4 years to get her to blooming size, I am well pleased! If she had to move indoors for the winter, I would not have been so gracious while I waited for her to mature 🤪😅 thank you so much for watching and, once again, welcome! 🙏🏼🌸
HI Andrea 😍💐 thank YOU so much for taking the time to watch this video 🙏🏼 on a Sunday, which I hope was great for you! We still had so much wind today, but I had to film... I cannot keep waiting for less windy conditions, I am loosing time and the projects are stacking up. Still waiting for a really hot day 😞🙄 maybe one day I will have a hot day and then I can just walk around with the camera and do a tour (without wind would be nice!) 🤪🌸
Hi Jose 🤗💐 thank YOU so much for watching and for your support, and for your kind comment, and for your friendship, and and and... so much more, Jose, thank you!! Wishing you a wonderful rest of your Sunday, my friend in Kerala 🤩🌸
What a fabulous golden yellow colour she has 🥰 congratulations on getting yours to flower! Interesting that she has an irregular growth habit. My Hairy is a small bulb variety, but does have a predictable growth habit. I guess they are different clones. Thanks for organising Nina!
Hi Issie 😍💐 finally!!! Finally I do not just have a decorative grassy orchid in a pot as a centre piece for my patio table!! Goodness me, its about time too! 😆 there is a comment from Rian Milit 👇🏼 which is super interesting and gave me a 'click' moment. I have been searching for information on different tenuifolia varieties on the net, seeing them growing in the wild, and I see something similar to mine on tree branches. I never found the answer that I was looking for on the google, but Rian confirmed that there are 4 different varieties. So... there is more than one tenuifolia variety around and so far, they have not been given 'variety' names ... watch this space! 😄 thank you so much for watching, and for joining in, Issie!! Always good to have you on board! Hope that you had a fabulous day and wish you a wonderful Thursday 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids brilliant job by Rian! Thanks for the signposting, what a nugget of gold indeed that there are four types. I was offered two kinds when I purchased mine, and that might have been when I was told the large bulb variety that I didn't buy was a 4n, and the one I had chosen was difficult to flower. When the nursery tells you it is difficult to flower an orchid I should have taken the hint 😅 thank you so much and have a great day Nina!

HI! 😍💐 I have had to catch up on a lot of filming today, that I could not get done yesterday, so I have not been around to watch videos, but... I will! The latin or greek roots of the names these discoverers came up with have always been a source of great interest to me, and I really wish that there would be some more details of the reasons out there. Especially some hybrids for example... why did someone choose the name xyz, it always fascinates me, so, there you go... you and me both 😃 Thank YOU so much for taking the time to join in! Looking forward to get through the back log of missing a full day of filming yesterday and then get to sit and watch the videos and see how everyone else is getting on with their tenuifolias 🙌🏼 beautiful orchid to feature.

@@NinjaOrchids Yes word origin is always fascinating, wish I knew more Latin. Thank you always for helping everyone get ahead on their channels by doing the carecollabs. Have a great day!
Hi Wanda 😍💐 thank you so much for your kind comment and positive feedback 🙌🏼 really appreciated! I am glad that the video inspired you to add this orchid to the list, because yeah.. pretty to look at and yum to smell! Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, Wanda! Thank you for your support ❤️🌸
I really like this plant. Mine is one of the more vertically extended ones. And I would say to me it smells like coconut but also a bit fruity. When the blooms get older that adds a note of white chocolate.
Matt, hi 😍💐 sooooo how come I do not have you on the list? I have added you now, but I feel bad that I was not aware that you have one 😞 if it was an omission on my part, then I am truly sorry 😖 As I love anything coconut, Rafaello are my kryptonite and NO, I am not telling you that so that you send the to me 🤪 just sayin'!! Finally getting this orchid to bloom and it was not mislabelled, what a relief! I had already resorted to having a pretty winter centre piece for my patio table, and then boom, last year, the first bloom ...single! Happy to ID the orchid for what I bought, but a single bloom had a lead balloon effect 😆 now, we are up and running 👍🏼 4 years later! Thank you so much for watching and please forgive any omission that may have happened on my part ... always a little stressful to air CareCollabs and then come to find out that someone has the orchid and I 'had no idea' or forgot 🥴 awkward! I am sorry! Wishing you a wonderful Sunday and thank you so much for watching 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Hello! Don't worry about it. With my PhD thesis due on Friday I wouldn't have had the time anyways :) Uff, four years... That is a long time. I feel like I alternate between "I CANNOT wait for blooms" and "I don't grow orchids for the blooms but for the challenge and the reward a healthy plant is". But admittedly, I am growing a bit impatient with some of them - looking at you walkeriana!
A truly beautiful plant. Mine is doing very well, adding more psuedobulbs. I am looking forward to her first bloom. Thanks for sharing and as always, keep the info coming. Have a really great day.
HI Brenda 😍💐 so good to see you again, I hope that you are doing well 🤗 it has taken this one 4 years to get to this point, I had resorted myself to having an attractive grassy centre piece on my patio table, and boom, now its doing this! I had assumed, because Cousin Itt is just a beast when it comes to vigor, that this one would be similar, but nope! So... I am going to keep my fingers crossed that your's blooms soon 👍🏼🤞🏼 thank YOU so much for watching, Brenda and for leaving me a comment! This way, I get to wish you a wonderful Sunday 😍😍🌸
I've actually spoke to a grower in Japan, and he described 4 type for me, that are common in the trade (so not recognized varieties). The wild type, that I have, grows oval, flattened, small pbulb, compact gworing, with lots of foliage. It's not really flowering for me, and my understanding from him was that it is harder to bloom, the flowers are fewer in number and much smaller that the other types.
Rian! 🤩💐HI! so good to see you again and boom! you drop a comment that is a nugget of intel that I have been looking high and low for! Every image that I see of the tenuifolia growing in the wild resembles mine, and then there are the larger more longish rhizome varieties, so yes... my confusion and 'apprehension' of having a mislabelled one, for 3 years were for real. Only one bloom last year, well... not exactly tenuifolia style. But, the images in the wild, showing the variety that I have... just kept me 'going' with this one. Now your comment confirms what I could see, but not actually source in an article! I recently received a maxillaria, which could be the tenuifolia you describe, smaller, more oval and flatter pseudobulbs but with the foliage ridiculously long in proportion to the bulbs... I am so glad and thankful that you wrote this comment, for more reasons than one, but this helps me understand that the other one I received is also a tenuifolia (well, nothing is 100% until it blooms, but... 😉) once again, thank you for your comment! Very very helpful 👍🏼 and thank you for watching, Rian 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids My absolute pleasure, I was also searching for answers for a long time, until I got this piece of information, so I'm glad to spread it.
And it's great to see you again as well! Really went back to watch a lot of the great videos you've been making, so thank you for your most informative and fun videos!🤗
woohoo!! Really kind of you to watch other videos as well! I just passed on your intel to another channel that commented about the variety etc etc, so... pointing everyone in this direction in case they have the same brainscratch!! 😬😅
🦒🙌🙋♀️💖🌞 Cousin Itt's cousin 😅 will rival him in size and weight in no time !!!! Yours is a lovely plant and you are growing it wonderfully. A very happy orchid, I have to add. An orchid I never thought of buying due to its coconut smell which I don't enjoy much. I like the coconut flavour though and I do use a lot of coconut oil in my cooking. But then again, I never thought of buying the chocolate scented orchid although I LOVE everything about chocolate 😋 I hope you have a better day today, vecina favorita and that you have a calm but productive SUNday 😍😘🤗
FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good morning, meine liebe Freundin! It may happen, but this one grows slower. I got this one way before Cousin Itt, and even though I see the pic of this one on arrival and it has definitely grown really big, Cousin Itt is just insane! He looks a little like Rod Steward at the moment, with his new growths all spiky 😆 I LOVE everything coconut! The smell, the flavor....anything and everything coconut, I am all over it! Just if someone is to heavy handed on the sunlotion while I am trying to eat at the beach, that is where I draw a line! I don't want coconut in my nose while eating something that is NOT coconut 😬 oh... chocolate! I am a chocolate fiend! But... I have learned that if I do not have it in the house, then I don't need it, or want it. I do have chocolate milk always in the fridge for a fix though. I make it with dehydrated milk, coco powder, sweatener, vanilla essence and cinnamon so that is always in stock. I don't buy chocolate milk off the shelf because it just tastes meh, but with my little brew, I am happy! Sometimes I add oats just to have a little sustenance, but chocolate does not last long here at all! 🤪 really appreciate you watching, amiga! I have a SUNday, but the wind is very very strong, so... my filming will be chasing calm pockets around my patio. I cannot go another day without filming what I had planned yesterday, so, we shall see what comes of it! I have to.... 🤞🏼 you have yourself a beautiful sunny day, vecina favorita!! Much love ❤️🌸

Good morning from your brother Jan here in South Africa. That sudabulbs looks to me like its a plant with fruits on. Think in the wild animals mistake it as something that they could have ate...it id beautiful. 😉
Hi Jan 😍🙌🏼💐 how is my brother from another mother? 😃 it really looks like something a monkey would enjoy as a snack, only to drop it when it realizes that it is NOT a juicy plum of sorts!! 👍🏼👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Jan! Really appreciate you and I wish a great Sunday 🌸
Robert, hi!! 🤩💐 now I see you, now I don't!! Speedy Gonzalez and off for some fun in the sun with the kiddos! I hope you are having a great time! Thank you so much for the quick pass through.... vroom vroom 🏎🏁 🥰🥰 very sweet of you to do this! Wishing you a great rest of your day ❤️🌸
In bloom!!! How did you do it! It looks so different from mine,, lower and more light green. I had a variabilis and she bloomed always... I wonder why this one must be so very different. Thank you for clarifying the difference between maxillariella and maxillaria.. thought it was only a synonym name. 😁😁 Or reclassification as for many times. Congrats for it finally blooming! Guess patience is key as well as light!
Hi Karin 🤩💐 patience and light, yes. But I had all but given up on this one ever blooming and last year, I almost popped the single bud off because I was moving the pot from one location to the other, and did not see it until just before I grabbed the pot. I had settled to it being a nice winter centre piece for my patio table, and left it at that. As it does not need to be inside, I honestly did not get frustrated about it after 2 years. I was a bit cross when I received it back in 2018 because I had never seen a tenuifolia with such tiny bulbs. It was blooming size back then... yeah right! 🤪 Maxillariella.... what on earth? Someone playing games 🤦🏼♀️ I took the variabilis as an example for the tenuifolia, but lesson learned, they don't compare at all when it comes to vigor and blooming happily. This one took 4 years to get to this point, but I am so glad that it is what I bought at the end of the day, and... the fact that it is more compact just turned out to be an unexpected plus! Really appreciate you watching, thank you so very much! Have yourself a fabulous day! I have one heck of a busy day ahead of me, so, forgive me if I am not able to watch your video until much later, but, I want to thank you for taking the time to join in 🤗🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I think your compact one is soooo pretty looks a bit like coelogyne cristata in a way... yes today I will also work a lot with my orchids, film a bit and a lot if other stuff. Watch it when you have tome on your hands no worries,,😀 thank's for letting me join Ive learned a lot this time!
When I bought my first one a couple for weeks ago, the vendor told me they can take 48 months to rebloom. I'd be happy just to see it grow vegetatively until then. Some of the blooms are starting to fade and the fragrance isn't as strong recently. I'm planning on repotting it in a mix of small/medium bark, coconut coir/husk, and a little sphagnum moss. Not sure if I'll use a clear pot with or without ventilation. I guess it will depend of what is left of the root system.
Hi Joe 😍💐 as you saw in the video, how small mine was, I was not even sure I had a tenuifolia 🤣 I hope that you have the one that has bigger pseudobulbs, with a longer rhizomes. They grow faster and are quicker out of the gates to bloom again. This more compact variety, with pseudobulbs the size of walnuts, as opposed to plumbs, is a very slow grower. Fate would have it such that I got this one, and I am so thankful for that, because even though it lives outside all year round, if I had a larger one I would struggle for space 😅 I hope to get a nice blooming this year, seeing as last year it was a little scattered and not that abundant. LOVE the fragrance, and I am glad that you at least had the opportunity to experience it. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that you prove the vendor wrong and your's will bloom for you next season 😊 if the root system in the pot is a little tired, then make sure you have high humidity for it until it can grow roots from the upright rhizomes into the media again. This way they will be encouraged to grow faster, even though you may not actually see them 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Joe! I hope you are having a wonderful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
HI BiBiche 🤩💐 welcome!! I have not seen you here before, so, a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here 🤗 I really appreciate it! I am on the Costa del Sol, between Marbella and Estepona! I loved going to Sanlucar de Barrameda for a weekend quick road trip. I do not do those anymore, gas prices and all that, but wow, in the 70s, I bet it was a much more quaint place than it is now... there are still pockets of the original but nothing like the 70s. A beautiful part of Spain 👍🏼👍🏼 always enjoyed those trips! Thank you so much for watching, BiBiche and, once again... welcome! Looking forward to seeing you again 🥰🌸
Yes, I am new to your channel and enjoy it very much. Thank you for your answer. Costa del Sol was one of our favorite places for spending some weekends. Yes, Sanlucar was “an other world”! For the first year we were there, we were the only Americans there and our utility bills were addressed to “los Americanos” and the road between Sanlucar and Chipiona was so bad, we used to compare it to the craters on the moon. Wonderful memories. Although my husband was working hard, but since we ended there shortly after our mariage, we always said we had a 4 year honeymoon😍
What an amazing memory! Now there are highways, the whole area has exploded into something that resembles a city! The seafood is still out of this world good and fresh as is the local white wine, which I just am such a fan of. 'Los Americanos'... that works! Still, to this day, there are pockets of areas that can work along those lines and the mail still arrives 😬 fantastic having you here, you can relate 👍🏼👍🏼 I took trips to the Atlantic for the weekend and you did the opposite 😆 thank you so much for your kind comment!
HI Paula 😍💐 thank you for your feedback, I appreciate that very much. 3 years to get that little shrub thing that arrived in my collection to bloom, and 4 years for it to actually bloom properly. Cousin Itt moved in and exploded, so this tenuifolia was like a lead ballon effect all these years. Now, it will be a pretty centre piece for my patio table but, mature blooming size centre piece. I really hope that your's will bloom soon as well... honestly, I cannot believe how long it took to get to this point. If someone had said that its going to take 4 years, I would not have believed them. Well, here we are 🙄 Just as well that it can stay outside and be ignored for most of the year, or else I would have been so much more annoyed 😬thank you so much for coming over and watching my video already! Really appreciate your time, Paula 😘 wishing you a fabulous Sunday! I have so much to do but the wind is blowing a gale, again!! 🥴 can't win! 🌸
My Yamada blooms but cutting I got from my friend (regular red) long time ago hasn’t. 😒 but it’s very skinny… There seem to have different shaped ones. I have another pot of Max ten and that one grows more like regular ones. 🤷🏻♂️
Hi Yoshi 🤩💐 there are different varieties indeed! Ynse sent me one that is longer and the pseudobulbs are really small and skinny as well. It is a cut from his orchid, and I am hoping to get something to grow into the water container in which I have it at the moment, because, this is the wrong time of year to be potting it up and then hoping for the best. Very interesting and even more grass like. I hope I can bring it through the summer 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Yoshi! I hope that you are having a great day 🥰🌸
Hi 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all a warm warm welcome and secondly, a big thank you for being here, for watching and your question. ruclips.net/video/wUc41OqWohM/видео.html here is the link to the video in which I prepare the garlic infused alcohol for the first time. I have not looked back since the linked video aired. I hope that it will do the same for you and your plants. If you have any questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to ask 🫶🏼 hope you are having a great week already, and once again, welcome ❤️🌸
Well this is embarrassing, I didn't even know you had tenuifolia, I thought your Maxillaria collection was restricted to Cousin Itt. I think there has to be two different forms because you're not the only one with the bulbs laying more on top of each other than having a lengthy rhizome between bulbs. Of course, it is a plant that will never find itself in my collection because coconut.
Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe!! Oh.... that's right, you are not into coconut stuff! Me? Anything coconut goes, just love the stuff! In Dubai you could buy whole coconuts and hand it to the person over the counter and they would shred it in a machine for you. Bingo, freshly shredded coconut 👍🏼 I miss that here! I can buy them, but good luck getting it shredded. I hardly featured my tenuifolia because it was mainly a grassy centre piece for my patio table during the winter. Until now! 4 years later? Well, last year I saw a bloom for the first time and could positively ID it, but, that bloom was nothing to write home about. It did not have the vibrancy of the ones this year. I was a bit disappointed last year, thinking that this variety would be more on the orange side. So glad that it has progressed to proper reds and oranges 👍🏼 Still, Cousin Itt will rule supreme, because the tenuifolia came into my collection before Cousin Itt and well, we know how that is progressing! Got the Rod Steward look now 😆 really appreciate you watching, Michael, thank you! Wishing you a fabulous Sunday 😍❤️💐
@@NinjaOrchids I will just never understand how anyone can consume coconut (or onions or anything involving cream cheese). Well, after getting no rain for ten days, we got a weeks worth of rain yesterday. The new dog is not a fan of thunder, she bolted under the bed at the first rumble. She doesn't seem to mind water though. I took her to the dog park this morning, which was half flooded. She went squirreling, gleefully running through the muddy water. Had a hell of a tie wrangling her to come home.
Haha... I totally got it wrong from your profile picture. I thought that it would be your favorite orchid. Is it a max tenuifolia? I might just be really bad at recognizing that orchid...hehe! (amateur me) 😂

I've actually spoke to a grower in Japan, and he described 4 type for me, that are common in the trade (so not recognized varieties). The wild type, that I have, grows oval, flattened, small pbulb, compact gworing, with lots of foliage. It's not really flowering for me, and my understanding from him was that it is harder to bloom, the flowers are fewer in number and much smaller that the other types.
Rian! 🤩💐HI! so good to see you again and boom! you drop a comment that is a nugget of intel that I have been looking high and low for! Every image that I see of the tenuifolia growing in the wild resembles mine, and then there are the larger more longish rhizome varieties, so yes... my confusion and 'apprehension' of having a mislabelled one, for 3 years were for real. Only one bloom last year, well... not exactly tenuifolia style. But, the images in the wild, showing the variety that I have... just kept me 'going' with this one. Now your comment confirms what I could see, but not actually source in an article! I recently received a maxillaria, which could be the tenuifolia you describe, smaller, more oval and flatter pseudobulbs but with the foliage ridiculously long in proportion to the bulbs... I am so glad and thankful that you wrote this comment, for more reasons than one, but this helps me understand that the other one I received is also a tenuifolia (well, nothing is 100% until it blooms, but... 😉) once again, thank you for your comment! Very very helpful 👍🏼 and thank you for watching, Rian 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids My absolute pleasure, I was also searching for answers for a long time, until I got this piece of information, so I'm glad to spread it.
And it's great to see you again as well! Really went back to watch a lot of the great videos you've been making, so thank you for your most informative and fun videos!🤗
woohoo!! Really kind of you to watch other videos as well! I just passed on your intel to another channel that commented about the variety etc etc, so... pointing everyone in this direction in case they have the same brainscratch!! 😬😅
🦒🙌🙋♀️💖🌞 Cousin Itt's cousin 😅 will rival him in size and weight in no time !!!! Yours is a lovely plant and you are growing it wonderfully. A very happy orchid, I have to add. An orchid I never thought of buying due to its coconut smell which I don't enjoy much. I like the coconut flavour though and I do use a lot of coconut oil in my cooking. But then again, I never thought of buying the chocolate scented orchid although I LOVE everything about chocolate 😋 I hope you have a better day today, vecina favorita and that you have a calm but productive SUNday 😍😘🤗
FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good morning, meine liebe Freundin! It may happen, but this one grows slower. I got this one way before Cousin Itt, and even though I see the pic of this one on arrival and it has definitely grown really big, Cousin Itt is just insane! He looks a little like Rod Steward at the moment, with his new growths all spiky 😆 I LOVE everything coconut! The smell, the flavor....anything and everything coconut, I am all over it! Just if someone is to heavy handed on the sunlotion while I am trying to eat at the beach, that is where I draw a line! I don't want coconut in my nose while eating something that is NOT coconut 😬 oh... chocolate! I am a chocolate fiend! But... I have learned that if I do not have it in the house, then I don't need it, or want it. I do have chocolate milk always in the fridge for a fix though. I make it with dehydrated milk, coco powder, sweatener, vanilla essence and cinnamon so that is always in stock. I don't buy chocolate milk off the shelf because it just tastes meh, but with my little brew, I am happy! Sometimes I add oats just to have a little sustenance, but chocolate does not last long here at all! 🤪 really appreciate you watching, amiga! I have a SUNday, but the wind is very very strong, so... my filming will be chasing calm pockets around my patio. I cannot go another day without filming what I had planned yesterday, so, we shall see what comes of it! I have to.... 🤞🏼 you have yourself a beautiful sunny day, vecina favorita!! Much love ❤️🌸

Hi Larry 😍💐 thank YOU!! So much for watching!! Wishing you a wonderful Sunday 🤗🌸
Good morning from your brother Jan here in South Africa. That sudabulbs looks to me like its a plant with fruits on. Think in the wild animals mistake it as something that they could have ate...it id beautiful. 😉
Hi Jan 😍🙌🏼💐 how is my brother from another mother? 😃 it really looks like something a monkey would enjoy as a snack, only to drop it when it realizes that it is NOT a juicy plum of sorts!! 👍🏼👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Jan! Really appreciate you and I wish a great Sunday 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thank you Nina you must also enjoy your Sunday😉
Hey Nina... 👋🏻 Just a quick pass through.... 😅
Robert, hi!! 🤩💐 now I see you, now I don't!! Speedy Gonzalez and off for some fun in the sun with the kiddos! I hope you are having a great time! Thank you so much for the quick pass through.... vroom vroom 🏎🏁 🥰🥰 very sweet of you to do this! Wishing you a great rest of your day ❤️🌸
In bloom!!! How did you do it! It looks so different from mine,, lower and more light green. I had a variabilis and she bloomed always... I wonder why this one must be so very different. Thank you for clarifying the difference between maxillariella and maxillaria.. thought it was only a synonym name. 😁😁 Or reclassification as for many times. Congrats for it finally blooming! Guess patience is key as well as light!
Hi Karin 🤩💐 patience and light, yes. But I had all but given up on this one ever blooming and last year, I almost popped the single bud off because I was moving the pot from one location to the other, and did not see it until just before I grabbed the pot. I had settled to it being a nice winter centre piece for my patio table, and left it at that. As it does not need to be inside, I honestly did not get frustrated about it after 2 years. I was a bit cross when I received it back in 2018 because I had never seen a tenuifolia with such tiny bulbs. It was blooming size back then... yeah right! 🤪 Maxillariella.... what on earth? Someone playing games 🤦🏼♀️ I took the variabilis as an example for the tenuifolia, but lesson learned, they don't compare at all when it comes to vigor and blooming happily. This one took 4 years to get to this point, but I am so glad that it is what I bought at the end of the day, and... the fact that it is more compact just turned out to be an unexpected plus! Really appreciate you watching, thank you so very much! Have yourself a fabulous day! I have one heck of a busy day ahead of me, so, forgive me if I am not able to watch your video until much later, but, I want to thank you for taking the time to join in 🤗🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I think your compact one is soooo pretty looks a bit like coelogyne cristata in a way... yes today I will also work a lot with my orchids, film a bit and a lot if other stuff. Watch it when you have tome on your hands no worries,,😀 thank's for letting me join Ive learned a lot this time!
When I bought my first one a couple for weeks ago, the vendor told me they can take 48 months to rebloom. I'd be happy just to see it grow vegetatively until then.
Some of the blooms are starting to fade and the fragrance isn't as strong recently.
I'm planning on repotting it in a mix of small/medium bark, coconut coir/husk, and a little sphagnum moss. Not sure if I'll use a clear pot with or without ventilation. I guess it will depend of what is left of the root system.
Hi Joe 😍💐 as you saw in the video, how small mine was, I was not even sure I had a tenuifolia 🤣 I hope that you have the one that has bigger pseudobulbs, with a longer rhizomes. They grow faster and are quicker out of the gates to bloom again. This more compact variety, with pseudobulbs the size of walnuts, as opposed to plumbs, is a very slow grower. Fate would have it such that I got this one, and I am so thankful for that, because even though it lives outside all year round, if I had a larger one I would struggle for space 😅 I hope to get a nice blooming this year, seeing as last year it was a little scattered and not that abundant. LOVE the fragrance, and I am glad that you at least had the opportunity to experience it. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that you prove the vendor wrong and your's will bloom for you next season 😊 if the root system in the pot is a little tired, then make sure you have high humidity for it until it can grow roots from the upright rhizomes into the media again. This way they will be encouraged to grow faster, even though you may not actually see them 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Joe! I hope you are having a wonderful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Where in South Spain? My husband and I lived in Sanlucar de Barrameda for 4 years in the early 70s!
HI BiBiche 🤩💐 welcome!! I have not seen you here before, so, a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here 🤗 I really appreciate it! I am on the Costa del Sol, between Marbella and Estepona! I loved going to Sanlucar de Barrameda for a weekend quick road trip. I do not do those anymore, gas prices and all that, but wow, in the 70s, I bet it was a much more quaint place than it is now... there are still pockets of the original but nothing like the 70s. A beautiful part of Spain 👍🏼👍🏼 always enjoyed those trips! Thank you so much for watching, BiBiche and, once again... welcome! Looking forward to seeing you again 🥰🌸
Yes, I am new to your channel and enjoy it very much. Thank you for your answer. Costa del Sol was one of our favorite places for spending some weekends. Yes, Sanlucar was “an other world”! For the first year we were there, we were the only Americans there and our utility bills were addressed to “los Americanos” and the road between Sanlucar and Chipiona was so bad, we used to compare it to the craters on the moon. Wonderful memories. Although my husband was working hard, but since we ended there shortly after our mariage, we always said we had a 4 year honeymoon😍
What an amazing memory! Now there are highways, the whole area has exploded into something that resembles a city! The seafood is still out of this world good and fresh as is the local white wine, which I just am such a fan of. 'Los Americanos'... that works! Still, to this day, there are pockets of areas that can work along those lines and the mail still arrives 😬 fantastic having you here, you can relate 👍🏼👍🏼 I took trips to the Atlantic for the weekend and you did the opposite 😆 thank you so much for your kind comment!
Great video! I too have a plant of each bulb type. I thought my one like yours was mislabeled. But I have yet to have mine bloom. 😕
HI Paula 😍💐 thank you for your feedback, I appreciate that very much. 3 years to get that little shrub thing that arrived in my collection to bloom, and 4 years for it to actually bloom properly. Cousin Itt moved in and exploded, so this tenuifolia was like a lead ballon effect all these years. Now, it will be a pretty centre piece for my patio table but, mature blooming size centre piece. I really hope that your's will bloom soon as well... honestly, I cannot believe how long it took to get to this point. If someone had said that its going to take 4 years, I would not have believed them. Well, here we are 🙄 Just as well that it can stay outside and be ignored for most of the year, or else I would have been so much more annoyed 😬thank you so much for coming over and watching my video already! Really appreciate your time, Paula 😘 wishing you a fabulous Sunday! I have so much to do but the wind is blowing a gale, again!! 🥴 can't win! 🌸
My Yamada blooms but cutting I got from my friend (regular red) long time ago hasn’t. 😒 but it’s very skinny… There seem to have different shaped ones. I have another pot of Max ten and that one grows more like regular ones. 🤷🏻♂️
Hi Yoshi 🤩💐 there are different varieties indeed! Ynse sent me one that is longer and the pseudobulbs are really small and skinny as well. It is a cut from his orchid, and I am hoping to get something to grow into the water container in which I have it at the moment, because, this is the wrong time of year to be potting it up and then hoping for the best. Very interesting and even more grass like. I hope I can bring it through the summer 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Yoshi! I hope that you are having a great day 🥰🌸
can you share your garlic+alcohol mix ratio for using on orchids?
Hi 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all a warm warm welcome and secondly, a big thank you for being here, for watching and your question. ruclips.net/video/wUc41OqWohM/видео.html here is the link to the video in which I prepare the garlic infused alcohol for the first time. I have not looked back since the linked video aired. I hope that it will do the same for you and your plants. If you have any questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to ask 🫶🏼 hope you are having a great week already, and once again, welcome ❤️🌸
Well this is embarrassing, I didn't even know you had tenuifolia, I thought your Maxillaria collection was restricted to Cousin Itt. I think there has to be two different forms because you're not the only one with the bulbs laying more on top of each other than having a lengthy rhizome between bulbs. Of course, it is a plant that will never find itself in my collection because coconut.
Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe!! Oh.... that's right, you are not into coconut stuff! Me? Anything coconut goes, just love the stuff! In Dubai you could buy whole coconuts and hand it to the person over the counter and they would shred it in a machine for you. Bingo, freshly shredded coconut 👍🏼 I miss that here! I can buy them, but good luck getting it shredded. I hardly featured my tenuifolia because it was mainly a grassy centre piece for my patio table during the winter. Until now! 4 years later? Well, last year I saw a bloom for the first time and could positively ID it, but, that bloom was nothing to write home about. It did not have the vibrancy of the ones this year. I was a bit disappointed last year, thinking that this variety would be more on the orange side. So glad that it has progressed to proper reds and oranges 👍🏼 Still, Cousin Itt will rule supreme, because the tenuifolia came into my collection before Cousin Itt and well, we know how that is progressing! Got the Rod Steward look now 😆 really appreciate you watching, Michael, thank you! Wishing you a fabulous Sunday 😍❤️💐
@@NinjaOrchids I will just never understand how anyone can consume coconut (or onions or anything involving cream cheese).
Well, after getting no rain for ten days, we got a weeks worth of rain yesterday. The new dog is not a fan of thunder, she bolted under the bed at the first rumble. She doesn't seem to mind water though. I took her to the dog park this morning, which was half flooded. She went squirreling, gleefully running through the muddy water. Had a hell of a tie wrangling her to come home.
Haha... I totally got it wrong from your profile picture. I thought that it would be your favorite orchid. Is it a max tenuifolia? I might just be really bad at recognizing that orchid...hehe! (amateur me) 😂
@@MamasOrchids that pic is Huntleya wallisii, very different in every way.
🤣👍🏼 get a sound clip of thunder every time she misbehaves! that will stop her in her tracks 😬
