your information your tone of voice you're bringing it down or not but your enthusiasm is still there and most of all your information is even broadening even more Maria I really love this video thank you girl
+Hollis Cook Thank you...I love them and they have so many functions...great for seedlings, and promoting root and keiki growth...and also awesome for quarantining them off. Thanks for watching! ...and HAPPY GROWING! If you haven't already please join me on my Facebook adventures as well... facebook.com/MyOrchidAdventures
I actually used a soddering tool...that is usually used for melting wires....etc...it has a sharp pointed metal tip that heats up and melts a hole right through the plastic. You can find them in hardware stores and also walmart and are very inexpensive.
We'll be waiting on an update on these 3 plants. I finally made it to Harbor Freight to get a soldering iron to make holes in my plastic pot. Thanks for all your valuable information.
+Jean Andrews YAAAAAAY!!! A soldering tool...I am so happy for you...I love mine it is so handy dandy...and I never have to buy any more pots!!! Thanks so much for sharing in my orchid adventures! HAPPY GROWING!
Thanks so much for watching and I am so happy that this video benefited you in your growing adventures! I am wishing you the absolute best. HAPPY GROWING!
Hello Maria, thank you for sharing all that information with us all. I have a dendrobium nobile that just finished blooming and the leaf at the very top just turned yellow and fell off, the rest of the plant is green and beautiful. What are your on the yellowing a leaf there? And last but not least, your plant has canes with no leaves, what's can be expected to see from them? I have a few as well. Thanks
Good question...it is quite common for Dendrobium Nobiles to lose their leaves...so no panicking....and what you can expect from them is possible rebloomers or keikis in the next coming bloom season...not to mention that they store energy and nutrition for the rest of the orchids...so they are greatly needed...sometimes not so attractive...but very needed in keeping the plant healthy, safe and sound. :)
Thanks so much for your positive feedback...I sure do appreciate it...and I am glad to share my experiences and orchid adventures...the good and the bad...I believe that there is so much to learn and discover through our personal experiences and if it can assist in some way to enrich your passion and knowledge for orchids...then indeed we can learn and grow together...HAPPY GROWING... and thank you for joining me on my adventures! :)
Hi Maria Great vedio. Love your orchid yard. Learnt a lot from your vedio. I have some orchids pots at home which I don't know the names even. Some of them were infected and didn't know how to be treated. Im so thankfull to you gave me confident and knowledge to go ahead and treated them. Have a great time
We always need to be so careful with what we bring into our collections.. especially with some of this stuff comimg into Florida from who knows where. A few weeks ago I bought six NOID Catts that were in bud and looked very healthy, but when the first one started to open I noticed a very slight colorbreak and didn't worry too much about it until the others started opening. Yep, they were all the same. I wasn't taking a chance and trashed them real quick. I ran into the same vendor last weekend and noticed the same exact thing. I look at a lot of orchids when I'm out and about, Maria, and I am now at the point where I no longer trust some of who I thought to be top-notch growers in the past. So far, though, our friends at Better-Gro are delivering good stock and I always try to get to HomeDepot when their truck pulls in on Mon, Wed and Fri, just to check out what's going on.. :) Enjoy.
Also, Maria... be very, very careful with the slightest sign of Black Rot Fungus which can wipe out a whole Catt right before your eyes, and anything near it. A simple splash of water from an infected plant to another is all it takes to spread... even raindrops off an infected plant to a plant below it is all it takes or a breeze if the plant is outdoors...
John Benedict ORCHIDS YIKES!!!! Thank you so much for mentioning the dangers!! They are all guaranteed andI am keeping a close eye on them...if they show the slightest bracketing again...I fear I will have to do the same and trash them...this is the sad fact that no one wants to talk about but indeed sometimes there is no light at the end of the or HID tunnel...I shall do a part 2 to this to talk about "The Dark Side" of growing orchids.... :(
Hi Maria, I got a question for you. I was looking at one of your videos a long time ago and you mentioned someone that can help with germinating orchid from the seed pod. Can help with their information?
+Hugo Pimentel I used a soddering iron that gets really hot at the tip and allows you to burn holes in plastic...but be very careful when doing so...I've had the unfortunate event of it slipping off the plastic and literally burning my poor little fingers...so make sure you got a good grip. :)
Hi Maria! I enjoy and learn quite a deal from your videos. I have a question about the listerine you use to treat your orchids. Do you use pure listerine or do you dilute it with water? Thank you!
I have a cattleya That had a black mark on the leaf, it looked like a drip mark, So I thought something spilt on to the plant, The plant was already sick when I got it so I didn't think it was anything to worry about Now just over a week later, it looked bigger, then I started to put the plant under lights, and the next day the leaf was covered, in the black, So I cut the leaf off as near the stem as possible, now I'm hoping that after treatment it won't spread to the bulbs, it's in solitary confinement in a bottle so I can keep a close eye on it,
Yes these awful infections can spread rapidly...the one orchid exchange that I showed in another video was a prime example of that...when I realized what was taking place it was too late for that little guy...it had already infiltrated all areas of the plant... :( I am hoping that your cattleya recovers well...close monitoring and a spritz of disinfectant from time to time is key...also make sure to take it out once and a while for some fresh air...I'm finding that sometimes helps as well in their recover...good luck and I am sending warm recovery wishes your way! :)
I am so sorry...I didn't understand your post...the only language I speak other than English is Tagalog and a weeeeeeee little Japanese...but hope you are doing well and HAPPY GROWING!
+PictureMaria1 +PictureMaria1 That's awesome, Maria. I did not know you speak Tagalog. So you must have some Philipino blood in you? No wonder you look beautifully Asian. :) Well, Julien is asking what is the powder that you mixed with aloe vera? I already answered him. :)
Jianjun Chen Ha ha ha...and thank you my interpreter friend...Yes and please let him know that it does work well but he has to make sure he puts enough cinnamon powder in to make a thick paste....and yes I am from the beautiful Island of the Philippines... :)
Thanks very much for every things so I want to ask u I have orchids but still no make flowers I don't know what happened so what u advices to do ?thanks again
Hello Maria, I have a question regarding very tiny black insects living on my Phal and I believe they make the orchids seem to sweat? The "sweaty" fluid is sticky. This condition kills the spikes. How can I save my orchids?
Thank you for watching and joining me on my orchid adventures. I use a soldering tool that heats up and melts the plastic to expose the holes. They are easy to find in your hardware or arts and crafts store and are inexpensive. I hope you get one soon...they are awesome and have saved me so much money not having to buy plastic see through pots...now they are expensive...but free when I use soda bottles and the soldering tool.
My Cattleya I bought twice and both of them got black spots with a light brown ring around the spots and black spots around my foliage and my rhizome are turning brown what do you think it's my fault or already sick before I got both of the Cattleya same variety from the same nursery? I think it's not my fault but sometimes I do . Help !
+Ellofez I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR! When I go orchid hunting now...I pay close attention to any type of spottings, browning or blackening...and stay away from any with signs that something may be wrong with it. The only way you can really find out certainly what an orchid has is by having testing kits or sending out samples of your plants to have them tested by certain companies...so it is really hard to say what the plant has....and yes I would venture out and say that I think that you got them in that condition from that nursery...so it is very important if you decide to get anything from that nursery again you be very cautious. I would definitely keep them away from my other orchids...and take them out of their medium to inspect the roots...I would then treat the entire plant with some type of solution by spraying it down (continue to treat once a week).. I would keep the catts out of media and water them down by spraying them daily...it is very important that they are allowed dry time and that their roots not be exposed to too much watering or moisture. Also remember any time you handle the infected orchids...make sure you clean up after yourself (sanitizing everything you use) and wash your hands thoroughly. I am wishing the best for you and keeping my fingers crossed...GOOD LUCK!
Great information!! Thank you sooooo mush. My daughter in law got me two new orchid since the one they got me for mothers day die 😕. These so called "orchid" professionals got nothing on you!!
HA HA HA!!! Thanks so much for watching....and so sorry to hear about your orchid passing on to orchid...I am happy to hear that you have acquired two more! CONGRATULATIONS! HAPPY GROWING! :)
We should call you "Inspector Maria" :) It will be tricky to say how is taking the credits, the listerine, aloe sap or the cinnamon. You should make videos of your well doing orchids too, as far as I see your garden looks like a little orchids heaven :)
LOL!!!! ....and indeed I will do a video soon showcasing my other orchids...they all have done extremely well considering that I started this orchid collection/adventure less than a year ago...I started in the spring planning on how I was going to create an orchid paradise with such a small space and one little tree...I am so happy that I was persistent and was able go beyond my limitation and exceed my expectation...and although I am saddened to know that my lush orchid garden will soon be at its end...I am also excited to see what we can come up with next year!!! Thank you for joining me on my orchid adventures...and let's both agree that next year our or HID adventures will be even better!!!
hi Maria when you use golden listerine you use it plain or your diluite it? are other colours of listerine useful in case i don't find the golden one? thanks for your help
I use the listerine at full strength and it is only the yellow one that is recommended. It is stated that the other colored one may cause a negative and unhealthy effect on your orchids so I would not risk it. Thank you for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
thank you Mary you are so lovelly and you know I love the way you speak using the law of attraction!!!! you are very powerful setting your intentions!!!!!
I hope they all will be ok. That cattleya with the black rot was so scary, that I would have thrown the whole plant away. Black rot is very contagious. Do you quarantine them after this treatment?
Thank you for mentioning...you are absolutely right!! ...and yes I quarantined them in my bathroom and am keeping a close eye on them....the video was so long I didn't want to put anyone to sleep...but that is critical to mention....I think I should do a part two to this video to also include the very important issue that you mentioned...Thank you my dear mentioning! :)
If I use Original Listerine to spray my Cattleya I know that it will more than likely stain the white stone floor in my patio, my husband would have a fit....... By using PEROXIDE, would i use it pure or mix it w/ water??? Love your video! You have great ideas!!!! Regards from Miami.
You use full strength peroxide 3%. Thank you for your kind feedback and for joining me on my orchid adventures! I hope you will stop by often! HAPPY GROWING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
I like the idea of cinnamon +aloe, doesn't seem like it could hurt it. Keep us posted. Do you think these could have been from bad media? I've had that happen.
Thank you for watching and just to let you know the cinnamon and aloe worked out very well...it dried a whole lot quicker than I thought it would...in a couple of minutes it was dry...and it looks good so far...it appears to have sealed the wound well and has stopped the rotting and discoloration from spreading. This is a great idea for those that have aloe plants and would like to use it for yet another purpose...indeed a miracle plant and I love it!!! :) PS they also sell aloe gel at the store as well.
...oh and no I don't really think that it was the media...I had repotted many of my orchids with the same batch and they haven't shown any signs of infection...also one plant acquired the infection before the new repotting and once I cleaned it up and planted it in the same batch it seemed to have recovered well with no more rotting. I just believe it is because of all the wet weather. :(
I noticed that after u disinfect the part of the orchid you're going to keep, u then touch the infected part of the orchid and then the disinfected division of the orchid. Didn't u just reinfect the good division?
If that is the case I might have. I must admit it is hard trying to film, talk and stay completely focused on the demonstration so that is a possibility.
LOL!!! Thank you so much for joining me on my orchid adventures and a very BIG CONGRATULATIONS ON your first purchase...it's quite an exciting and fulfilling hobby to grow and collect orchids and as you can see can also provide hours of entertainment...LOL! HAPPY GROWING! :)
+PictureMaria1 Thank you Maria =) Hold on, there's another video of yours on my sidebar that I want to watch... "How to mount naturally!"... how to mount? hahahaha... naturally? Maria!!! hahahaha
Hello Maria, Using Listerine as you do and, making that very imaginative paste cure, would it not be a wonderful opportunity to have tried it out on those infected orchid pieces that you cut away. All your watchers I am sure would like to have had your feed back as to how effective or not effective that remedy is. Maria, if it works great if part works great if it has no effect at all OK, but as you say "you are no ordinary orchid grower"you take risks, in this case, there is no risk, only opportunity the plants were to be destroyed in any event so consider the idea of applying your trial and error cure.
Regular original Listerine, not the fancy flavored stuff they are selling now. Get the original Listerine. It's used as a disinfectant by orchid hobbyists.
Very comprehensive, helpful tips provided by this great communicator. Thank you and bravo. Enlightening!👋
your information your tone of voice you're bringing it down or not but your enthusiasm is still there and most of all your information is even broadening even more Maria I really love this video thank you girl
Thanks for your feedback and for watching! HAPPY GROWING!
The idea to make the plastic containers from water bottles is ingenious… Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching! ...and HAPPY GROWING! If you haven't already please join me on my Facebook adventures as well... facebook.com/MyOrchidAdventures
Great idea! Just wondering what you use to make holes that size---screwdriver?
I actually used a soddering tool...that is usually used for melting wires....etc...it has a sharp pointed metal tip that heats up and melts a hole right through the plastic. You can find them in hardware stores and also walmart and are very inexpensive.
Great tips Maria , keep us updated on their recovery 😊

How did you make those nice holes in the soda bottle bottom pot?

Thank you so much and I am glad that my videos have been beneficial for you...it would be the full strength listerine.
Are the holes in the bottles made with a drill ??

Great! Thanks!
Looks like black rot. It starts in the roots so cutting leaves won’t help. Staying too wet for too long an no air circulation around roots.
LOL... you're so funny =) Thank you so much for sharing =) I just bought my first orchids last night =)

is this infection called fusarium?

Why yes you did...and I think I will!!! Thanks for the suggestion! Happy growing! :)
MY Orchid Adventures good luck! thanks 😉
Hello Maria, Using Listerine as you do and, making that very imaginative paste cure, would it not be a wonderful opportunity to have tried it out on those infected orchid pieces that you cut away. All your watchers I am sure would like to have had your feed back as to how effective or not effective that remedy is. Maria, if it works great if part works great if it has no effect at all OK, but as you say "you are no ordinary orchid grower"you take risks, in this case, there is no risk, only opportunity the plants were to be destroyed in any event so consider the idea of applying your trial and error cure.
Hurray for green thumbs. I hope things work out for the rescue orchids.
Ha ha ha!!!! Indeed HIP HOP HOOOOOORAAAAY!!! :)
Lol...

Hi stupid question. You said you use listerine. Did you mean the listerine we use for our mouth wash ? lol
Regular original Listerine, not the fancy flavored stuff they are selling now. Get the original Listerine. It's used as a disinfectant by orchid hobbyists.
H
