Enjoyed seeing how you repotted this Brassia. The only one I have is doing well, thank goodness! (I repotted one Miltoniopsis yesterday. It had only one bulb. That's how it arrived from the grower. At least it has a good root system so I am hoping that it will survive. We'll see.)
Just watching an old video and you said something this struck me. It was attending a show to try to get people to join your society. I live in the north east and attended the last show they had and I went to speak to a group of members and I’ve never been as shocked by the fact that they couldn’t even say hello. Well that’s me not interested in the local society.
My daughter had the same experience at Bristol - she only knew one person and no-one else spoke to her all the time she was there. The two I belong to are not like that - both are friendly and welcoming to new members.
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai I get where your coming from, such is nature that when people move through life and you don’t introduce new blood what was once amazing dwindles away. I would have thought the more the merrier.
Hi Roger, was there ever a stake in it? Several of my Dendrobium phalaenopsis I bought had that turquoise color on some roots, here it was from the stake the plant was staked up with!
I noticed that a couple of the other orchid growers use those wooden skewers to tease the bark into empty pockets and it works well. Have you tried it?
Hi Roger, Brassia Santa Barbara parents: pollen parent is Brassia Rex, seed parent Brassia Edvah Loo, this cross was registered in 1981. Hope that helps
Haha yeah, i thought i was through with repotting, but turns out I'm not. The plants in the icu section all started growing new growths and roots all the the same week (after nearly a year of wondering if they'd make it). Also a tiny seedling bulb from a dendrobium decided to have another go, so I've removed and repotted and it's merrily growing a new system! Btw, where do you get your bark? I can only find a nasty mix with seramis up this way.
It's a never ending job. As for the bark : orchidaccessories.uk/catalog/index.php/orchiata-orchid-bark-c-44?osCsid=j04hipvtshmff9psnobdc7s8b0 I get the large sacks and Peter brings them to our show so I don't pay postage.
I have recently purchased a Bratonia (once Miltassia) ‘Shelob 'Tolkien'. The new growth has roots forming so it’s now time to repot. Would you pot it in a similar fashion to the Brassia?
Brassia Santa Barbara = Brassia Edvah Loo x Brassia Rex. Edvah Loo is a primary hybrid of arcuigera and gireoudiana, Rex is verrucosa x gireoudiana. So there you go, only three species in there.
martin Spijker Well I never! The first four minutes were to teach me about the plant & orchid events in his area. I’ll add that I’d much enjoy that 🥓 bacon roll!
Thank you so much for your gentile videos.
You're welcome - I have a 'relaxed' style - it's just 'me'.
I always enjoy a good repotting session and the chat that goes with it! Have a nice weekend Roger!
Thanks.
I did so enjoy my fantasy repot my Imagination gave me quite a bit of information I thank you for it. Oh I'm thanking myself. Good video Rodger
Always enjoy these. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
LOL Roger, love your sense of humour! :)
Thanks.
A lovely fantasy of a repot. Have a great Sunday. Much love Ju xxx
Thanks.
😀 yay! A repot with me ☕️! Thank you- what beautiful ideas and plants!
Thanks.

Very interesting and encouraging.I repotted my Shelob Golden Spider a few weeks ago and , intuitively I did it in a very similar way👏👏
Thank you Roger, you're video just reminded me I need to repot 3 brassias. Oh my God will I ever finish with repoting 😁
By the time we finish, it will be time to go back to the start and start all over again.
Nice repot
Thanks.

Good thinking - you're probably right.
My Phalaenopsis has that as well...when I rinsed the stakes in alcohol and wiped it was clearly the culprit.
I noticed that a couple of the other orchid growers use those wooden skewers to tease the bark into empty pockets and it works well. Have you tried it?
No - I'm ok using my fingers - they are quite small.

Yes - the Brassia in Shelob is dominant.
Roger's Orchids
Thanks Roger. I thought that might be the case just from the look of the plant.
Should you repot with damp bark or dry
I use dry as it is easier to get in between all the roots as it doesn't 'stick'.
Brassia Santa Barbara = Brassia Edvah Loo x Brassia Rex. Edvah Loo is a primary hybrid of arcuigera and gireoudiana, Rex is verrucosa x gireoudiana. So there you go, only three species in there.
(Someone's been playing with bluenanta.com - saves me doing it - thanks.)
I need to add mos to my brassias they keep making roots (and bulbs) 😁
I think the Brassias create the best root systems out of all the Oncidium Alliance orchids.
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Agreed, Brassias are my best growing by far 😁
A very good fantasy 😅
Thanks.
Orchid on acid 😵
almost 4 minutes in and you did nothing..:P..:D
I'll bet he can talk an orchid in to spike 😁

i will sent him some of mine..:D@@YnseSchaap
@@martinspijker8952 He can have a go at mine 😁
