Those phals are so pretty. What is the name of the orange red phal on the right side? Want to have it. I have two novelty phals one is Belina, the other is red grape.

What are the lights requirements if I am not growing under grow lights? Brighter light? Less light?

I just subscribed because your voice is gorgeous 😂❤️

The reason why it gives off keiki is because temp. Drop doesnt meet the minimum of 16c. I have mine for 10 yrs and it blooms during spring when night temp recahes 16-17c😊

Love your videos❤ May I ask what your summer phal media mix is?

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed your whole plant tour. I have the exact same shelves for my plants so I might check out those same light strips.

Wow amazing

Why don't you use a humidifier? I'm west of Seattle. I keep mine from 50% to 65% plus a bit. I have mostly Cattelya but also have a few Paphs and 10 Catasetum.

Good morning!! Happy to be the first one here😊 and Happy Birthday, hope you have a blessed one!!🎂🎁🎉🎈😊🙏🙏

The leaves look very similar to the Sansevierias Snake plant’s

Sogo Lawrence is stunning . That color combo...wow

Clay pots absorb water so you need to water more often. They are good for plants that need to have the roots dry most of the time like cactus and suculents

Lovely Paphs and your thoughts are beautifully explained thank you, Ed.

I know little about orchids. One of my kids gave me an orchid for Mother’s Day two years ago. I have many house plants but had never had an orchid and never planned on having one. I assumed that they needed some kind of hot house in order to live. Anyway, I knew enough about buying plants not to follow the instructions that come with a plant that comes from a big box store. However, I really assumed that the plant would die sometime after it was done blooming. When it did not die I decided that I should look into what to do with it. It was a gift from my son so I wanted it to live and I hate to see anything die anyway. So I bought a good brand of premixed orchid media to repot with and tried to water and fertilize the best that I knew how. That Phalaenopsis has followed its own regiment of growing new leaves and then putting out bloom stalks. I have never done anything to make it bloom. No temperature changes at all. I just follow my routine of watering and fertilizing regularly. I decided that if I could get my gift orchid to re bloom that I would buy another orchid since I am always up for a challenge. Last summer I purchased another full size Phal and two minis. Both of my full size Phalaenopsis are in bloom right now but the minis show no sign of a single spike. 😔 They have grown leaves and roots nicely but no spikes. Am I going to have to start doing some orchid tricks to get them to bloom?? Do minis require some additional care? I have been caring for the minis just like the full size Phals. Of course they get watered at different times due to the size difference but other than that all care is the same. They are in four inch pots. I did not want to over pot them. Do you think that they need a cooling period and more light? I don’t know how I would do a temperature drop for them since we have central heating. I guess that I could put them outside during the fall for a few hours but not at night time. We live in a forest and have forest critters that investigate everything at night time. My orchids might become food for the deer or some other creature. I use the MSU orchid fertilizer regularly. The large Phals seem to be perfectly content. I have only given them 12 hours of grow lights. Because we live in a forest the leaves on the trees block some of the sunlight during the summer so grow lights are a necessity. They have a southern exposure by the windows. Only recently have I heard that orchids like 16 hours of light. That was news to me. The large Phals have not been affected by the lack of four additional hours of light but maybe the minis are more demanding? Any ideas?

Thank you about the soldering iron tip! I haven’t gotten one yet but I will soon. Also, love this video, it’s overall helpful especially regarding paphs.

Isn’t putting that orchid into a terracotta pot kind of working against your aim of having more hydration? Clay pots absorb the moisture fairly quickly. That is why so many succulent growers use them.

As with many people my first orchard was a Phal. I never intended to have an orchid. I thought that you needed something like a hothouse to grow orchids. My first orchid was a gift from one of my children that knows that I love plants and flowers but also had no knowledge about orchids. After researching and finding out how to keep my gift alive I bought three more Phals. Like most people I was not aware that there were other types of orchids available for sale. Those other orchids are not sold in our area and most people don’t think to look online for orchids until after reading up on them or watching UA-cam videos. After seeing many other types of orchids I have not decided what other type of buy. Some of them do not have nice foliage. My Phals at least look good even without flowers. Some of the other types of orchids I have seen just have some very unattractive foliage. Since for much of the year these plants are not flowering I would like to have orchids that look nice without flowers. Some of those other types of orchids I do not even like the type of flower that they produce. Personal preference I guess. Those who mass produce Phals do it because they are an attractive plant that people want in their home. They are also relatively easy to grow, given the correct information. Those mass producers obviously care nothing about their product after they are sold. That is not the fault of the orchid or the orchid buyer. I grow all types of plants for their beauty. I care nothing about having an ugly rare plant.

Thank you for these helpful tips! What is the beautiful phal on the top left, the one that looks like a Bellina cross?

Gorgeous!!!😊

New sub. What great information!!

I purchased two “mini Phals” last summer. They were quite tiny is a pot that I would say was maybe 2” wide. After they were done blooming I repotted them in four inch pots. They have since grown quite a bit producing many roots and leaves but no bloom spikes. They are under grow lights for 12 hours a day. They are not real close to a window. They get fertilizer in their water three times a month. Am I doing something wrong? My other orchids bloom on a regular basis. These things have confounded me.

Yes.. love those mottled leaves. Beautiful collection ❤

Beautiful plant❤

Thank you for sharing new subscriber here like 2 videos ❤

Nice to see you again and thanks for the update 😀

Yes. Miss Orchid girl ( for me ) was my go-to for information when I started my Orchid obsession 😅 I didn't know what a spike was, let alone what a Peloric Orchid was. Now I watch ALL UA-cam video. I can't get enough. 😅 I love to see other people's collections. ❤

This helps me with my orchids

Yes, yes, yes. I also bought a heat mat for my summer bloomers and placed a metal tray on top of the mat. 🇨🇦 Got to keep those babies warm . Bellina, Sweet memory, my latest is Phal bronze maiden. I've also placed Phal Sogo Vivien on the tray, hoping she will grow more roots. 🙏

Do you know who has these for sale now?

What are your thoughts about using coco chunks instead of moss for water retention?

You can do without the music

Liking your channel. I'm down that rabbit hole also.😊

Hi Paul, I know this is an older video, but I just found your channel. So glad to have found you. I had to comment when I heard you mention High Desert Orchids. I'm really sad that Kelly closed the business. Have you kept in touch with Kelly? If so, do you happen to know her show schedule/calendar with the Tropical Exotique? I just started growing orchids about the time that Covid hit and really began collecting when I retired. I was able to get a few plants from High Desert Orchids before she closed. We were all shocked and saddened here in Albuquerque when she announced the closing.😢 I'm looking forward to learning a lot a Paphs from you! Sherrii BTW, I love your collection!

Thanks for sharing your lovely collection 💚. I'm trying to grow Polychilos Phals in a desert climate too, I can empathize with you having to grow in low humidity. Maybe you can do a video on how you care for your Bellinas and other Phals in your current conditions? I was also wondering how many pellets do you add to your Phals because I have the exact same fertilizer brand at home and want to start using it. Also have you tried using a Brita water filter to get your ppm levels lower? It could be a cheaper way to get cleaner water. Happy growing and good luck 🌱

Hi Paul, thanks for another paph video! I have my paphs growing in a combination of rockwool and large perlite and they love it. Some also suggest using rockwool with LECA to fill in the gaps and provide air to the roots. The moisture level stays even and rockwool doesn’t break down. My paphs are growing like crazy in my apartment under lights. I water once a week to every ten days, letting the media dry some. Maybe this would work for you in your dry environment.

Very good

Wow thanks for sharing we have learned a lot ❤❤🤘🤘✨✨✨

Paph niveum grows in a small part of Penang island where i am from. Its a hot growing plant. In the forest, temp is around 32c to 36c in the day time. Night is around 25c to 28c. We dont have 4 seasons. Only hot and wet season. It grows in bright shade. Those in darker shade have a more beautiful leaf colour, the ones in bright places looks pale. Take note that the ones you have have adapt to your living conditions. Btw, good video. Keep it comin.

Hi Right Paph, Do you use physan every single time you water the orchid or just once a month ?

Thank you for the video 😊

350 th subscriber... ❤

Thank you for the update 😊

Such a gorgeous plant 🪴 😊 thank you 🙏 How is the keiki doing now?

Hey there Paul, love ❤️ the video. Your Nana would be so proud of you and your love for plants 🪴 💓

Great update, thanks for sharing. Your orchids get more light in your new place, so hopefully they'll flower more for you. Looking forward to seeing Great results here. Happy growing 😊

I thought you would not coming back, but glad to see you with new video. I can't wait to see your paphiopedilum collection.

I love your setup and morning lighting is anazing but yes, still have to be careful!! Hope your plants that got hurned bounce back and thrive!! I've always used tap water left out for 24-48hrs and I use that to water all of my plants!! With plants that don't like chlorinated tap water such as my Spider plant, Red Maranta, Fiddle Leaf Fig, Peace Lilly, Red Begonia, Pilea Pepermoroides etc., I'll use distilled water!! This has worked out for me and my plants are doing well!! And I've been wanting to switch to another fertilizer so I'm definitely trying the Osmocote Plus thank you for sharing!!❤🥰🙏🙏

Hello 👋 there great to see you back and great video❣️ Have a great weekend stay safe and happy growing 🥰 Reah
