Pleasure enjoy then while they are in flower 😍 they really are special . Happy growing

Nice fish 😂😂😂❤

Nice fish 😂😂😂❤
thanks

❤❤love them
stunning colours 4 sure
Oh wow.. I'd always assumed the foliage was part of the criteria. I'd make a terrible judge because to me ALL of them are lovely! 🥰😄 I especially liked the cattleyas at 11:23 and 16:35 with green blooms.. gorgeous! 😊👌🏼
Exactly! I feel the same way , how could anyone possibly say one is more beautiful than another 😁
Es hermoso 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
Es lindo ir a visitar lugares hermosos, es alimento para el alma.😍
yes, i am having heat issues
try keeping the air movement around your plant , it helps keep the temps down . 👍
Would have loved to have a closer view of the potting. You should probably invest in some equipment.
Hi Ronik we are doing the best we can until we can . We would love to be able to get the videos to the point where the return could afford us to spend on new equipment . At the moment the $5 aprox from each video does not warrant the big expense . But we really do appreciate your feedback and thank you for being a part of our journey . 🫂Please feel free to help with the success of this channel : buymeacoffee.com/naturecompany
Did any of the cymbidiums in the show win any awards ?
yes there were quite a few , if you see those red and blue tags you know it has won an award
U saved the best for last the cymbidium orchids 👍

You are so amazing and hilarious. These videos are giving me more confidence to inherit the hundreds of #orchids from mum. Bingeing on your videos is now making it fun and even exciting to look after orchids! Thankyou. 👏🏻🌱♥️💕
😍 thank you so much , it sounds like you are about to be thrown in the deep end but you will come out stronger in the end . Orchids are fun and so so rewarding ,, Happy growing 😘

Great channel,lots of much needed 😊 information....
Glad you think so! I hope we can keep it coming for you . We really appreciate your feedback thank you 😍🫂
Thank you very much for this great presentation, I can use the information by my orchids.😊
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback 🫂💕
No joke!
😁 I know right lol
I've been making a fertilizer out of wood ash (from my ceramics kiln) and chicken poop, from the backyard coop. I try to balance Ph using a small proportion of ash, but sometimes Ph correction is still necessary. I use a weak solution of that and a 20-20-20 mineral NPK, in turns. Do you think the ash can bring enough usable calcium? Ash is 30%ish Calcium Oxide, I wonder if the plant can use that.
from what I understand Calcium Oxide when added to water reacts to form Calcium Carbonate and Calcium Hydroxide so it can be quite caustic . I am not sure what other reactions will take place when combining it with the chicken manure or how it will react to the minerals in the NPK mix .
Terrific video. I bought a cymbidium. I love it. I can see new growth but I think I will have to repot it sooner than later. On the offshoot, what is the pest that was on there? I’ve noticed it on my other plants and I’ve tried to get rid of it and it seems to keep coming back.
these ones are mealybug , they can be quite troublesome . Your plant when it is very happy is more able to fight off the infestation . Garlic tonic can help fight them off ua-cam.com/video/nf2cnzLEgrE/v-deo.htmlsi=iq_cO7LrM4MX_96c
What feed do you use I'm afraid I missed that, I try to grow Wardii, interesting video
i use a variety of different organic feeds most of them liquid and i rotate them to ensure all my bases are covered 👍
Brilliant video and well explained! Definitely going to try this.
Glad it was helpful! and it really does make a difference 💯👍
I just got this semi terete vanda and instead of planting it in a pot of sand medium, I simply tie it on a wood without any medium like mokara. I ain't sure how to water these semi terete vanda. Is it through the stem like mokara or just the root like vanda ?
If you have it out in full sun , where it will flower at its best you will have to water very frequently and you can spray the whole plant like you do with your Mokaras 👍
❤❤❤Gorgeous Cymbidiums.😊
they really are eye catching .. Thanks 💕
Thank you! I found this very helpful like all your videos!! 🎉
I'm so glad! Thanks for your feedback 😘
does over fertilization promotes growth but hampers flowering in general?
Over fertilization can cause other problems too , toxic buildup of different nutrients , root burn and cause certain nutrients to be blocked from being absorbed.
👍
💯🫰
So beautiful!!😮❤
these are the only reason I would think of living in a cooler climate 🤣
As always, a wonderful tutorial! O run and bought molasses right away. Now could you please answer a quick question. How often would you use molasses in your feeding regimen?
once a month is enough or just when you have an orchid in distress or in shock from transplant etc . 👍
Love this plant. I cant see the molasses water recipe? Is it here?
this video has the recipe that I use : ua-cam.com/video/oH32FjvXX5w/v-deo.htmlsi=xuKVkzJQRvxwmLA2
What about soaking the orchids. I see that some people suggest soaking the plant for fifteen minutes on average, once a week.
if your media is very dry then it is a good thing but remember not to soak multiple orchids in the same water as any disease from one will be transmitted to all the ones that follow 👍
Thanks for the reply @@thenaturecompany
I have my Cymbidiums now for 3 years WITHOUT flowering - what fertilizer do I have to use?? I am so devastated......
I have done this video that should help you out ua-cam.com/video/-RL-OoOTIZI/v-deo.htmlsi=9ivT9WmiYmlhI1jr also remember there are warm flowering and cold flowering Cymbidiums , so it would help to know which you have , we did this video with tip to help the different ones flower too ua-cam.com/video/WlAKnEcXH9E/v-deo.htmlsi=xV2O4HXD48UOKOEG . I hope these help 👍
Hi, I assumed you are talking about western cymbidiums here. I have grown both western cymbidiums and Asian cymbidiums as well. Living in Southern California, I have the advantage of suitable weather for western cymbidiums. This is my practice for my cymbidiums which having flowers between December through Spring months. You may have to adjust slightly depending where you live. You need to provide a mild fertilizer to the cymbidiums between the end of Spring, Summer, and Fall months. I fertilized my cymbidiums twice a month (with high Nitrogen content). The rest of the water cycle without fertilizers. You also make sure they have adequate morning sun light (a few hours before the strong light at noon). The cymbidium leaves should be slightly with yellow color, not too green. Strong light will burn the leaves, especially mid day sun. By October month, you can switch the fertilizer to high Potassium content. Some people use 20/20/20 fertilizer throughout the year and I think it is OK too. During Winter, you need to shock the plants with colder temperature at night ( a cooler temperature than day time temperature of 7 to 10 degrees, I mean). Some people wake up the plants without water for awhile as well (this method is reserved for experienced growers only since you would kill the plant this way). I forget to mention that you should check the roots and the media in the pot to assure they have healthy roots or not. Sometimes, having root problem, the plant cannot have flowers. Watering them when they are running dried during hot days. In general, if you keep the plant happy, you will be rewarded with flowers. Good luck.
Thanks for this informative video.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback we really appreciate it 🫰
I get confused I have a routine of adding fertiliser,lime, potash, cal mag , seasol , epson salts & molasses Full time job ?? I have worked out i over fertilise & overwater , no wonder I don't get flowers, tooooo much fussing
yes it can all seem a bit overwhelming but with orchids it is almost better to err on too little than too much 💯😘
Your channel has such great content. Thanks again!❤💯👍🤗🪴
We thought it would be nice to bring other people experience and thoughts to the channel too , Thank you for always being here 🫂💕
The Orchids Angel❤️
🤣 the well placed wings 😘
You wait too long to repot ……
yes sometimes I do 😁🤣
I’d love to see more! I really like how he shows you things. Very straight forward and logical and wow: so simple compared to the massive amount of conflicting information on the internet. Plus his accent is awesome. Haha But I already know what I need to do for two of my orchids and I’ve been stressing about their issues so much for the last 3 days. Thanks a lot! Great video. -L
yes it is always good to hear from many different perspectives , sometimes one person just says something in the right way for it to click . Thanks for your feedback 💕
@@thenaturecompany so true
Hi Peter, thank you for bringing in an expert. I’ve been doing it so wrong and after this video I checked and found 2 large oncidium orchids rotting from over watering. I’m scared to check the others now🫣
yeah it is better to find out sooner than later , good luck with the rescue 🫂💕
Very interesting
Glad you think so!
Great presentation and information. Thanks for sharing it with us! Yes, always love to see how other people grow orchids - I learn tips from you in each video, and everyone grows under different conditions so it’s great to get a variety of experiences.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the feedback we really appreciate it 🫂💕
