- Filmed at the end of yesterday, a suggestion from my daughter Hannah. There is some 'news' of things to come soon at the end of this video some of which will involve some help from you the viewers.
As always, thanks for watching.

I'm so glad that your daughter talked with you about keeping this particular plant. I loved this video. I learned a great deal during the time that I spent watching/listening/learning. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
You're welcome.
Bravo!to your daughter and to you for listening to her👏
Thanks.
It is good to have a plant to experiment on. Good for your daughter give you a push to give it a go.
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
You're welcome.
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
Cant wait to see how this one turns out!
Nice little project! They seem off to a good start. Looking forward to see your updates on them. Thanks for sharing.
I may keep this one in the new set of 'project orchids' for next year.
It is a nice plant, I am happy you gave it a second chance. Nice trick with the stakes!
Thanks.
Hi Roger, your daughter has your quick nature! Good for Hannah for giving her ol' Dad a go, she had many good points 😁!
Excited about the year update, and why not start a new set! Good stuff..... Kelly
These comparison updates are quite fiddly to put together especially Pt 1 as it has twice as many plants as the others.
Hope all goes well with the moss Roger. It goes well with the Asian slippers seeing as that is how they grow in the wild.....debris etc., and never in the earth. Will be interesting to see the hopeful progress of the Miltonia.
Ed.
Most of the remaining roots were aerial - they will either start growing quite quickly, or they will rot due to the transition. We shall see soon.
It will be interesting to follow the process of this plant.
Thanks.
well since you were going to throw the plant away in the first place, what can it hurt to perform an experiment?
Good job. =)
Thanks.
Looking forward to watching what happens. Full marks for effort. Thanks Hanna.
Only 'saved' as it is a 'project plant' and they are all about to be filmed again for the end of year update.
I have also placed live moss around 10 of my orchids as a top dressing to see if it is beneficial to their growth. I took photos and will compare them in a few weeks. However, I have to wonder if the daily spraying of the moss will be the biggest factor. Time will tell.
As a female I will say. As many times as you wish. Hard and fast rule.
good luck
Thanks.
Removing a sheath to give a new growth more room works, I do it all the time
In this case, it would have been better to do it a while ago then these roots would be pointing downwards.
@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger I cut them open as soon I notice a swelling at the base
Well now we HAVE to keep following these two plants.
That will be forever on my record, won't it 😁
Yep.
@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger 🤣
Now my wish list for the next set! Your Cat. Angel Heart, Mas.Ignea, always a Zygo because they are my nemesis, and also always my favorite: Shelob Tolkien ,and Den. Hector!
Noted.
Good idea! Can't wait to see the progress. Moss, Light and Fluffy. I had to learn the hard way. LOL.
Those fine roots will either start growing quite quickly, or they will rot. We shall see.
I just watched Eds video! One week!
See! I told you! #savethemiltoniasunset 😂
The sun never sets on Miltonia sunset...(and hopefully it won't now!). My requests are impossible... Hancockii and the one you trimmed all the downward canes on with the other 100 canes heading skywards.... you'd have to take them outside to film them.... I'll go with the new Nobile and the newest Brassia's they might *just* manage to fit.
Noted.
Put in a Zygo.
With tightly packed sphagnum it isn't so much about it drying faster but it "self squeezes" so it isn't sopping wet when you water and wet for a long time, it is easier to keep "evenly damp".
Now, I'll admit I half expected at some point for you to say, "that's going on a mount" as well.
I did give it a thought - but with the 'clear out' things have reversed. I now don't have much spare hanging space but do have room on shelves.
Michael McCarthy Yes I also heard this from professional Phal growers.
@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger I was thinking about that, actually. Wondering if you had given thought to trying to combine the plants on the shelves and take one out and put in a longer rack for mounts. (I still like the idea of having a ceiling to floor rack that could somehow swivel 360 degrees so you could easily use the front and back side)
The mounts are difficult in Winter because of the grow-lights - I don't want the plants too close so everything has to be re-arranged. As we get into March, I can get the hanging racks back up where they normally go.
Ok today December 10 I watered my oncidium Sharry baby sweet fragrance for the first time after putting her back in 100% dry sphagnum moss tightly packed. I do see signs that moisture not going to where it is need. A few of the big plump psubulbs have wrinkles. Keeping my eye on them to see if these wrinkles continue. If they do I will fiddle around with the moss. Now for the side experiment I watered her for the second time today. It is loosely placed in a much smaller pot.
I had one of those during my 'heavy handed watering' phase. Alas, the roots rotted before I came to my senses! 🤣
Too little, the plant will probably survive - too much and it will probably die.
I was thinking of trying Ed’s love moss method for my Nelly Isler.
Trish Polk I repotted my nelly Isler from moss to a moss and bark mix and it’s really sulking. It was actually doing quite well in straight moss, I only did it because it was new to me and I didn’t get a chance to inspect the roots and it was starting to put some new roots down 😬
Mine is currently in a moss/bark mix. I may repot her to moss this weekend and see if that helps get her going.
Ed was only trying it on Paphs that naturally grow on the ground in 'litter' (not in the soil) so it would be quite natural for those sorts. Most epiphytes grow on branches with moss but then they are also attached to the bark.
Roger's Orchids I was really expecting to find rotting roots on my Nelly Isler since it was grown in 100% moss, but they were actually in great shape! 🤔
I never know what these plants want to be happy! 😆
Orchids will grow in most media as long as watering is adjusted to suit. But many roots object to major changes to the media.
just buy a new one..:)
i grow catasetums in very tied packed moss.. they need a lot of water and they cannot grow without lots of water so i don,t think your theory is correct..;)
If you were a woman.....endless
Had to glance at the title to get it...at first it blew right over😅
Opening music still loud
Is to too late to suggest a project plant for 2020? How about the psychopsis.
The Psychopsis is included in the next set.
@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger Looking forward to seeing it!
First. 😁
clapcapclapclap..:)
