Hi Karin. I'm glad you show us blooms as well as spikes, for me at least, I enjoy seeing the different ways that the various types of orchids start their blooms and then develop into such beautiful flowers. I find it very interesting, must be turning into an orchid need, (finally).
@@renatecormick7399 Thank's for the feedback! Maybe a few too many in one single video but one or two viewers wanted me to make em again and so I did. And I do agree on that the way some genuses develops their spikes are quite amazing/interesting. For me the angraecoid ones are topping the list of peculiar spikes 😄
In regards to a wide pot for your cattleya. There are pots made of terracotta that I like to use, called azalea pots And I think you'd like them better than the lightweight plastic ones. They are actually great too but at least you have some options. Amazon has the azalea pots
@@LauraStansfield-tw7xb Many thank's for the suggestion on low ckay azalea pots!! 😀🥰 As I do love my clay pots but at one point they'll become too high and heave for any wondowsill to carry both weightwise and spacewise 😁 I'll def check em out ! 😀
Nice bloom on that Cattleya and more to come! I didn't realize that big Angraecum can also take cooler temps, do you have any Phrags still out there on the balcony?
@@justinsdutchtropics Hi there, thanks for watching ! Well I'm kinda standing in between 2 chairs ( as we say here) If I bring the A bosserii in the bud wiki drop, if it gets below 5 celcius it might damage the plant... so I'm constantly watching the thermometer.. this summer I kept my phrags inside. It took too long for them to acclimatize to lower humidity and warmth last fall.. but to be honest..the kovachii hybrids I've got here are affected very easily by the slightest raise in temperatures...they obviously likes it on the more intermediate side. Bounces back just in a few days time again as temperatures drops again. 😀😀😁
@@KarinsOrchids I've got Fritz Schomburg (bessae x kovachii) that seems to do best intermediate, the other bessae hybrids I've got seem to prefer even cooler temps, but the subsequent transition to warmer indoor temps can indeed be stressful. Some people say that phrags are easier or at least faster growing than paphs, but Phrags still strike fear into me🤣.
@@justinsdutchtropics Me2... I wouldn't say that they are easier to grow than paphiopedilums.. as we agree on here I guess is the difficulty to grow the kovachii hybrid/hybrids indoors. I will soon upload a repotting/update on my phragmipediums and naybe my point will get through.or maybe I was a bit unclear on what I really meant.. we'll see. If you water em from above there's a huge chance that you drench the new growth and they'll rot for example,, so as our local orchid vendor here in Gothenburg always says: I'd rather let my phragmipediums dry out a bit in between the waterings thsn letting them stay wet all of the time.

@@KarinsOrchids Look forward to it! That is my experience also, they don't like standing in water for me either although a lot of people recommend it.
@@justinsdutchtropics It gets too sour/acidic, hard to keep up with the flushing/changing the reservoir all of the time 😀
