The great winter shuffle. The orchid grower's dance. Had to use stakes on lopsided plants cause cold glass period is arriving and I just know I'd lose them if I don't do it now. Will not be using birdhouse but arches made of 3 flexible growths (eu aspen) and similar feeders you added to the side of yours. It's our 3rd year to use that method: we can tuck them away once the winter is over to use again next time and they fit well in the tools corner (as it's not lacking in hight). In a way bird feeders are like some live sculptures to give winter garden shapes to rest your eyes on.
Why don’t you put a couple of cymbidium on that end shelf you are planning on taking out, the disa’s on a shelf underneath and move some of the shady ones under the big cymbidium? That would give some more light, and you wouldn’t have to bend for your disas.
Hi Roger, nice sized plants for sure! When was the last time you divided any of them? I have this plan (more like 'fantasy') that I can grow up some of my more rare cattleyas, then divide them, pot them up and sell the divisions in local plant groups or on Facebook.
Hello Roger, can you go into more detail on the subject of recovering orchids in your sunday orchid chat? What do you have to consider to be successful? Thank you. Have a nice evening.

All looks great. Glad you can enjoy the birds! Have a relaxing rest of the day once you are finished.
Thanks.
good on you Roger for not giving viruses plants!!!
I keep unhealthy plants to myself - they either recover or go in the bin.
Beautiful garden ❤❤❤❤
Hey Roger! You should water your Pinguicula just like your Disa orchids! They will be much happier :)
All looks good
All looking great
Thanks.
Looking very nice

Hi Roger, great shuffling of your orchids. Cand you let us know how your cattleya are doing? And any tips on keeping them happy. Thank you.
My Cattleya types will never do that well now as I don't have the temps for them.
Looks like a good reorg.
Thanks.

There are plenty of my videos where I've divided plants.
Do pinguiculs go dormant in winter?
Mine are 'Mexican' pings which go dormant if the temps drop so yes, mine do.

Maybe...
I would like you to feature the hibiki please
Maybe...
Roger...have you tried to take a cutting from your japanese maple? I have tried several times and it doesn't seem to be working for me...
I don't need any more trees?
Roger, you sound tired! Why?
