Hello! Good angrecum collection)! My experience shows, never water plants in the same tank or pot.... Up to you of cause))). Thanks for sharing! Happy growing!
I know, plants shouldn't share water, but they are sitting inside the tank all together very close to each other anyway, so sharing the water is probably the least of my worries... Thank you for the advice though :)...
So sorry about your germ. Soooo frustrating. Don’t give up. Thank you for all the great information. I just loved it. I greatly appreciate the Angraecoids and have a few. When I first started growing I spent my whole Christmas budget on them and didn’t realize what I had gotten myself into. I killed all but my A. Sesquipedale. It is going strong. I have recently purchased a few more and want to be able to grow A. magdalenae. I am still studying.
Thank you! I like how different they all look even though they are from the same family. Of course all the blooms are white, might seem boring, but I like white blooms on plants...
Very nice collection. The A. distichum is so lovely, it looks like a fern. But then, they are all looking wonderfully. Hope you can get rid of those pests. We have to be so vigilant as they keep coming back. They have favourites though. Although some say they attack preferably the weaker plants I am still not very sure that is the case. Good luck with this collection which I find awesome.
Thank you Fernanda! I love distichum, it looks unreal, like a pressed plant that they keep in herbariums :) I am getting some suggestions in comments about the scale, will try them... Hopefully I will win at the end.
looks like it :) I didn't fertilize my orchids very often before. Now I am trying to follow the schedule and do it regularly. It is too early to see all the results, but looks like they are growing...
Thank you so much! I didn't make video about this, but I can tell you that temperature in the tank is around +25C during the day now when lights are on and goes down to 21-22 at night when lights are off; humidity is about 75-80%. During summer day temps will climb to +27-28C inside the tank... I have two small fans working there on schedule.
Overall, a very nice collection of angraecoids. I'm glad you like the distichum. I'm not sure what the flowering trigger is for this orchid...beats me but you are right that it is a shy root producer. The succulent nature of the leaves makes me believe that it could take on some good light but I'm just not really sure. What a great job with that biloba! The roots are just amazing! I'm thinking that it may just need to live in the tank for half the year...just a few months of cool to trigger the spikes. The others are awesome too. I've wanted to get a magdalenae at Paradis but I just didn't want to pay what he was asking for. As for your battle with scale, that is a very perplexing thing how some plants are magnets for certain pests. Scale is the rarest pest I've had in my collection. The plant that had it was a tolumnia and when they did manage to eat my only tolumnia spike, the whole plant went in the garbage. That was many years ago and I have not seen scale ever since. Mealy bugs likes phalaenopsis flowers, mites like thinner leaves like Ludisia, catasetum types and coelogne. Thrips can work their way through any leaves and flowers, leaving nasty tunnel marks. The flying thrips are a pain and nematodes are the only thing that worked at irradicating them permanently. That came on a single cymbidium and I didn't act quick enough because I had no idea what they were. 2 years later I had much more experience on thrips... Mealy bugs disappeared completely with the use of 2% mineral oil in water with a touch of dishwashing soap. It's not the same as neem oil or any other horticultural oils. IT WORKED for me. So good luck with the germinyanum. I suppose you could bleach the plant as a last resort. Seems to work well for Blanca and her cattleyas.
Thank you for sending me those angraecums! They are really nice plants that I love to have :) I paid only like $25 for my magdalenae, but it is a seedling, and very slow growing too. Angraecums are better bought as mature plants, just like vandas... I had mites once about 5 years ago and they destroyed my paphiopedilum collection at the time. Now this stupid scale... Every time I water plants in the tank I am scared to find that sticky trace on the leaves that scale crawlers leave, but so far so good.. Makes sense that they selected hangianum seedlings and germinyanum plants - both have soft thin leaves, probably easy to chew on... Germinyanum lefiovers are isolated and monitored. I will try bleach if pests return...
You have a really nice collection, lots of variety! I only have one aerangis punctata in my collection. I thought about getting a germinyanum, but I know they get tall and vine like, so not sure yet. Sorry to hear about yours though. I remember seeing it in bloom, it was really nice! Have you tried a bleach solution with it?
Thank you Gabrielle! Yes they grow tall and need support because stems are not very thick and can be broken easily. Also now I know they are prone to attracting pests:).. I didn't try bleach solution, what does it contain? (I mean besides bleach of course)...
@@Orchideya It only contains bleach and water. I first found it on Ed's Orchids ruclips.net/video/lEHtMOM9v2k/видео.html. I tried it, but I don't think I put enough bleach. My water never foamed like his did, so I used less to be on the safe side since there aren't any hard measurements. Shouldn't harm your plants, but should kill off the bugs.
Great thank you! I will give it a try if I see them again on my germinyanum. I already recognize them by sticky traces on the leaves even before the actual scale nymph appears Yuck!...
@@RedBattalion9000 It is a supplemental feed, it does not replace my usual fertilizer. I noticed that it does help with producing more roots on my plants. I bought this one about a year ago: www.amazon.ca/Maxicrop-Seaweed/dp/B009NMG3JI/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=maxicrop+liquid+seaweed&qid=1569772531&sr=8-1
Very impressive your collection and excellent job growing them indoors. I would like to mention that you must be aware that if you use a bath for many orchids in the same liquid and container, you might unintentionally transmitting diseases. For example, if one of them has a virus, most likely, the others will get infected by the virus, the same happens with bacterias.
Thank you. I am well aware of all the risks with regards to using same water for orchids but that's the way I chose to grow. They reside in the confined glass container very close to each other anyway... I give all my new orchids quarantine before adding to the rest, it worked for me so far...
Hi, (not sure how to call your name?), I'm new to Orchids. How often do you soak/spay/water your mounted orchids? It's very dry in Winter in Toronto. Your orchids are so lush and healthy.
Hey Rocky, welcome to my channel and to wonderful orchids hobby :) I am just orchideya (means "orchid" in russian). The mounts inside of tank I water twice a week by soaking them thoroughly. Tank keeps 75-80% humidity, so they are ok. I also have mounted bulbophyllums residing in the washroom, those get watered every second day now and every day during summer because there is a lot of sun and they dry out in one day. I use hose from bathtub, so it is not too much hassle to water them every day. Here is how it looks like: ruclips.net/video/0gPJGIotKkA/видео.html I was struggling with low humidity when I started growing orchids, my buds were blasting even on pahalaenopsis. When I built my glass tank - it changed. Orchids became more healthy, with shiny leaves and they keep the buds :)..
No problem at all :). Yes, I have two external computer cooling fans running there on schedule several times a day. I blogged about it when I was building tank and bought them and found link: orchidlog.blogspot.com/2013/01/fan-for-orchid-tank.html Just wanted to mention that now after almost 6 years of being in the humid tank - both fans are still working and never had any problems...
Thank you! It is a battle, and it seems like I am loosing this battle. I am glad that it didn't spread to other plants, but that germinyanum was such a nice plant...
@@Orchideya try dipping/painting the orchid with weak bleach,leaving it for about twenty minutes,then rinsing off.It is a recognised treatment for scale,&it's worked for me.
Loved this video! Felt so relaxed watching you go through this collection!
So beautiful my dear friend bg 👍 happy gardening 🙏🌹

What is that brown liquid?
Hello, it is water mixed with seaweed extract. I soak my plants in seaweed extract solution about once a month.
@@Orchideya So, it'll work as natural based fertilizer, right?

amazon-shop.

Before u give up on Germinyanum try a 1-2 % solution of horticultural oil , water and mild soap. 2 treatments 2 weeks apart. It worked wonders for me!
Thank you! Do you spray it on the orchid or just dunk it in the solution? Also can you put it on roots too?
