Excellent! This is the method I will try if I decide to do something like this. I have 2 large pots, 10 inches high with a 10 inch diameter each. I want to grow my own cilantro in them and they will need the light from the window. They will be heavy. So I'm not sure this will work for them. I'll have to think about it. But this is the best idea I have seen after looking at several videos for window sill extenders.
The way this works is... As a clamp. She's basically clamping the wider board to the narrow board. She already knows the narrow shelf can handle her load. In your case, be sure your old shelf is securely attached to the wall. Especially if you plan to move the plants away from the glass a bit. The further away from the glass, the more downward force on the outer edge and more force away from the wall. If I was concerned about the weight, I would put bookshelf brackets underneath the wider board. But that takes away the "leave no trace" aspect of this video. (Although, a dab of putty on moving day is an easy fix on most walls.) 💕🌞🌵😷
I am really amazed at your DIY skills! 😉First with the painting project, and now this window sill extension. 👍👍👍 Good to get a peek at the houseplants cuttings at the end. They seem to do really well. 😁 👍
Hi Jun, sorry for replying so late. I've just begun to reply to old comments that I've missed. The houseplant cuttings have gone through a lot. The begonia died. :( But the others are still around and I try to nurse the ones that were attacked by thrips back to health. I hope you are doing well. Take care and happy growing! :)
@@bumblebeesorchids3408 No worries. My begonia maculata is not doing well either, because I have been put it in a very dark corner. I am making some cuttings, hoping to grow again in spring. On the contrary, the begonia NoID you gifted me was doing super well - it has grown so big and become a centerpiece in my living room. Thank you so much!
@@junsorchids300 I have seen the Begonia NoID in your video, it looks fantastic! I saw a little damage in the center of one of the leaves that remind me of thrips damage. In mine they prefer so feed on the vascular strands. My Begonia is completely leafless at the moment - again I have to admit. It's the thrips' favourite.
@@bumblebeesorchids3408 Great spotting! At first, I thought the damage at the center was sunburn, but upon closer inspection, I discovered it was actually thrips! I immediately sprayed it down with a pesticide. Now it seems to have stopped developing and I haven’t seen any more thrips. To my great surprise, a second stem has sprouted and is growing its first leaf. I am thrilled!😄I hope yours will grow some leaf again or sprout a new shoot too!
Hi Sourav, thank you for sticking with me. :) The next video is going to be dedicated to Vandaceous species in bloom (most likely), but I film everything else for a 'what's in bloom', too. Have a very nice weekend! :)
Great video, thanks for sharing! I wish I could do this for all my windowsills, but don't think my husband would be happy about it. However Great technique and can be used for any extension. Thanks again and happy growing! By the wY is your phal bronze maiden blooming? I got one few years ago and it's blooming now which reminds me of your video.
Hi Mary, my husband wasn't very keen of it either, but he surrendered eventually. ;D I have four small Bronze Maidens that could be blooming size, but don't bloom yet. I hope you enjoy your blooms! :) Have a wonderful weekend!
hi thank u for this video amazing idea!! i was wondering how long can u keep mixed fertilizer stored for? i know ur supposed to mix fresh nutrients when u feed.. but if ur watering schedule is a few days apart for a few orchids can you keep the mixed fertilizer for a few days or up to a week?
Sorry for replying so late. To be honest, I don’t know how long you can store mixed fertiliser. I stayed for quite a while, up to four weeks or as long as the water looks fresh. But don’t take this as an advice, I don’t know if storing it so long leads to forming precipitations, could be. Happy growing!
Hi Andrea, thank you and sorry for replying so late. I've just begun to reply to old comments that I've missed. I hope you are doing well. Take care and happy growing! :)

OMG! Thank you so much! I have been looking for a solution like this for about 30 years!!!
Very smart. I like that it doesnt damage the existing sill or wall!!
What a great solution for a very common problem for orchid and houseplant lovers!
Thanks very much vor sharing. ❤

Wow Thank you so much this is amazing
I wonder if this would work on a large window that has small sliding windows below
Love it! Unfortunately all my windowsills have radiators next to the but I would love to be able to do this.
Hi Julia, thank you very much for watching and commenting even though it's not for you. Have a very nice weekend! :)
Missing you can't wait for the next video.
Thank you! :)
What a great idea! 😄👏👏👏👏
Hi Andrea, thank you and sorry for replying so late. I've just begun to reply to old comments that I've missed. I hope you are doing well. Take care and happy growing! :)
This is so great! What is the mini saw/sander you are using? Looks like a very useful tool!
Thank you! The brand of the multitool is Milwaukee. It’s really useful indeed. 😃Happy growing!

Brilliant!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Great idea
Thank you. :D
This is genius. But sadly my sill isnt tapered like that.
Thank you! Love your robin avatar. :)
Hey girl! How are your orchids? Miss your videos.
Hi Nadia, thanks for leaving a message. They’re fine for the most part. Thrips are having a good time, too. 😬
Have a wonderful Sunday! 🍀
👍👍
:D Thank you!
I miss your videos. Hope you are doing well.
Thank you very much for leaving a message. I'm going to post a new video before the year is out. Happy growing! :)
Just to lap over the original shelve. To camp on side the window where it is attached to the window
Sadly my windowsills are tapered otherwise I would try this
Maybe someday. Happy growing! 🍀
