Mick’s Masdevallia orchids
United Kingdom
Приєднався 27 жов 2013
This channel was originally created to show beginners how I grow and care for my Masdevallia & Dracula orchids in my own greenhouse environment here in the UK and encourage more people to grow this beautiful orchid Genus with a little help and support, this is one sure way of reducing stress and anxiety levels, leading to a positive state of mind.
The channel continues to grow slowly so did my greenhouses, I now have a collection of Carnivorous plants which includes venus flytraps and highland nepenthes to name a few, which I hope to share with likeminded growers. So remember I'm here to help so Let's grow together.
And finally!
We have an interactive website to support this channel, so please go check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Masdevallia Orchid Greenhouse Tour (99)
I’m from Hawaii and it grows like weeds. I water it with tap water and it does fine.
whats the orange and blacken tips is it normal?
Any quick tips on how to promote root growth on a division?
I know this is a video from a year ago but, I thought I’d make a comment for any other future viewers. The Venus flytrap is indigenous to only one area on earth, North Carolina. Many people make the mistake of thinking that it’s a tropical plant, it is not. It must have a cold winter rest, I live in maine, USA and left mine outside all winter and it came back beautifully in the spring.. just google North Carolina weather and that will give you a great foundation for your Venus flytrap care.
I just got one of these. What humidity do you keep it at ? I live in finland and my house stays around 50% humidity. I tried putting this mas in my terrarium and it instantly got mold and lost a leaf. It's now on my cool windowsill but I'm not sure if my house is humid enough for these. It would be nice 9f they could grow on a window sill.
New viewer here, from canada (quebec). I just found out that my stepdad’s backyard is COVERED with sphagnum moss 😅 i got a bunch of it, will try a few different methods, see what works best with the weather conditions we have here. So far, i think UK weather is the closest to what we have here so i will definitely follow your recommandations and ket you know how it went 😊 I wonder how should i dry it to use it as a substrate for my cactus/succulents.. should i just leave it on a flat surface, upside down, in the dark? Cant find any videos on how to turn live sphagnum into dry syuff to mix with my potting mix
Thanks a lot for your tips 💚💚💚 very informative 🤗 you have a beautiful nepenthes collection by the way!
@@LittleMermaid88 thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated.
How often do you water your nepenthes that are in pure sphagnum? I find it really hard to tell when I should water mine since they hold moisture way better than normal soil. I don’t want to overwater them as that is bad for the plant. I have dead sphagnum moss on the bottom and live sphagnum moss as a top dressing.
@@AndreasRP. it is difficult to know when to water I usually have a routine of 3 times a week and use my finger to see how damp the moss is, also if the top dressing of moss looks dry you can guarantee the nepenthe roots are dry as well, winter is a different story.
Absolutely stunning. I would like to buy one, do you have a website to check Masdevallias availability and prices? I couldn't find any website on google
@@plantreviewsuk1204 sorry I’ve just closed the website down due to costs but will let people know on next video.
@@MicksMasdevalliaorchids thanks very much, yes please let us know how to get a list and prices for the plants available
Great info 🔥
Thank You For the video!
Enjoyed your video. Regards from San Diego.
B52 is gigant but this one look bad and tiny😟
@@Ilikepancakes-is3xo there only young ones
I have a very young one too and it looks extremely like yours - lower pitcher is green and upper is red, with a very clear borderline in the middle. So adorable
Hi mick, I've a similar system in my greenhouse. It's set up a bit differently. I use smart plugs and sensors to set a pump to work when the temperature is too high, and also, when the humidity is too low and when a target is hit temperature or humidity the smart plug turns the pump off after the sensor detected the drop or rise, my greenhouse has its own wifi and i can control and check everything over the Internet i aso have a camera in there to see things are working. I use tapo as my greenhouse smart devices.
@@ColinSalvage I’ve always believed in making life easier and I’ve had cameras for a couple of years I stopped using the mist system when I had my broadband failed when it came back on the memory failed and basically the misters came back on for several hours and I couldn’t take that chance again.
@MicksMasdevalliaorchids by default anytime that is setup using the Internet goes to default mode and always remembers their setup instructions so it should be failsafe.
When do we get a full length video Mick ? 😉
Mike great video do you sell please?
@@sweeneyTodd-de4by I’m still waiting for my annual inspection from Defra to allow me to issue plant passports once I receive it I’ll be uploading plants on my website.
Absolutely love your channel,
@@sweeneyTodd-de4by thanks buddy
Lovely Mike love the grow room
@@sweeneyTodd-de4by Thanks for watching and commenting.
Stunning Mick love the room, I’m just starting out so had to subscribe, how’s it going now?
Mick with the regia seeds after they sprout do you have to feed them and if so with what and when? Thanks
To be honest I leave them alone until I transfer them they seem to survive let’s remember who would feed them in their natural habitat?
@@MicksMasdevalliaorchids thanks 🙏
@@MicksMasdevalliaorchids just a update, I left them alone didn't fertilize or anything for once and I have all 5 alive and 4 of them have about 3 leafs with dew. Thanks man, furthest I got with these seeds. Osmocote was killing them I guess. When do you usually transplant? And when you do, you still let them sit in a inch of water?
@@atomic626 I repot them when they are easy to handle causes lest stress on the plant and yes they always remain water, well done with your seedlings.
Cost doesn't matter, its what your happy with. I think your greenhouse looks very nice and your plants should do really well. Good job sir. We are getting a greenhouse also for my carnivurous plants and bonsai trees and will no doubt need to reinforce as the gusts in winter are pretty bad as you probably know. Great video. Keep up the good work and enjoy my friend.
Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos and commenting much appreciated and good luck with your new greenhouse you’ll be amazed how soon it gets established and flourishes.
wow Mick.. seeing the roots in your 3 inch pot made me realize I way over potted my glandulosa. I will move it down to 2.5 pot
I’ve always used smaller pots to encourage root growth I’m sure you’ll have better success.
To much unnecessary talking
Probably buddy it was early days on UA-cam but it helped me start a small online business and Spanish moss is one of my biggest sellers thanks for watching and commenting.
Mick ! why doesn't my Nepenthes make pitchers, it grows like a weed but that's it. I keep it wet and in the shade and it doesn't get moved
Ynse I allow mine to get shaded indirect sunlight and good air movement during the day and currently water twice a week and just leave them to do there own thing.
I like to fill the pot completely make a hole in the middle with a screwdriver and put the plant in. I Guide the roots in with the screwdriver to make sure they get in correctly and then I push the media towards the plant on the top. Then I knock the pot on the table to make the media settle. t hen I water the top and put them in my water tray so the media can soak up the water
Good idea buddy I think a lot of growers use different methods of potting on.
10:48 I would push it further down about 1 cm more
I try not to completely cover the rhizome.
@@MicksMasdevalliaorchids i leave the spot where the new traps come out uncovered
New subscriber. Just saw you dividing your Sarracenia, my largest if a very full pot do you have to repot or could you just keep getting a bigger pot, I don’t want to kill mine …it’s pot is 7” across ,had 20 flowers now cut off cos the died ,but the tubes look so packed…. I would appreciate your advise …in the U.K. midlands and we are now in June
It’s quite easy to divide next time you repot you’ll notice it pulls away into separate tubers just pot them on to create more plants or even swap with other growers and thanks for subscribing.
Confused…..mine is labelled perpurea. And it’s not the same. It’s a tall tube 1 about 18” tall it’s about 7 years old,lots in very large pot and need separating , Now not sure what it is, it’s green with red veins on top, has red flowers , any ideas
Hi Mick love your channel, I would really like to start and keep Nepenthes, can you recommend me which is an easy one to start with please? They need much light water, what peat sand you pot them in please, much appreciated
What a fantastic channel, I’m trying to grow the moss, no of the nursery’s around where I live sell peat moss 😢
Hi Mick I was wondering where you were 😁
Ynse I’ve spent a considerable time volunteering here with the National Coastwatch institute on the east coast I’ve only a couple of weeks left then I’ll be back full time in the greenhouse, thanks for asking buddy.
@@MicksMasdevalliaorchids I have family that has done that for generations (still do) They work on the North Sea. Take care ! 😁
Very helpful, thank you! I think you've just convinced me to give them a try.
Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated and I’m sure you’ll have every success if you give them a try.
I love Masdevallias and love your channel! Keep up the great work. From a fan in the USA.
Thanks very much for viewing and commenting.
These are really beautiful. How would these do indoors, not in a greenhouse?
I’m assuming putting water in the outer tray is for humidity? But if the trays are completely sealed, how will the humidity get in? Or do you mean add the water after you open the valve?
I add the water for both humidity and moisture content I’ve realised that the base layer must remain wet giving of a bog simulation for healthy growth.
Hi there Mick😌🙌I enjoy watching your Masdevallias. The shade cloth is a must. I've been working on a shaded area this year with shade cloth because it gets too hot here. My shaded area is cheap and does the job, not pretty at all, but practical👍
That’s all you need buddy so long as they are protected from direct sun light they’ll be fine, thanks for watching the videos much appreciated.
Try wool pellets, i heard that work wonders. I just about it. I am looking forward to try it.
Thanks for that Maria I’ll keep a lookout for some.
Beautiful Masdevallias😌🙏💖The ideal conditions for sure. Dendrobium nobile, like you have on the mount need to be kept damp all summer, they are well suited for mounts, I see no reason that you need to take it off😌🙏It just needs more moisture, that's why here in Japan they are planted in sphagnum, but they aren't fed too often in sphagnum, about once a month with a very diluted liquid feed. They should do well😌🙏💖I enjoyed watching very much😌🤲🌟
Thanks for spending your time watching and commenting on my video it really is appreciated. Yes I’ll keep the dendrobium more damp during the summer months and probably add more sphagnum moss around the roots.
Hi, great collection you have there. My husband and I grow orchids in an apartment in the USA, Bronx NY. We have purchased some Masdevallia orchids with no success in keeping them alive. We just subscribed to your channel. I am hopeful; to one day growing these successfully. Be safe.
I’m sure once they get established to your growing environment they’ll be fine, happy growing and thanks for watching and subscribing.
I'm a new subscriber. I just started watching today and I'm hooked😌🙌💖
Thanks buddy it’s really appreciated when people enjoy and subscribe.
Thank you for the video. I’ve ordered several Masdevallias from Ecugenaria last week watching you and Roger.
You’ll be amazed how easy these are to grow once you’ve established a growing environment good with your massie’s and thanks for watching and commenting.
Good to see a new video from you Mick. I always enjoy your informative videos. You don't give yourself enough credit Mick, you say you are not an expert, but I disagree. Even experts can continue to learn new things, but a good expert shares his real knowledge like you do in each of your videos. As always, thank you for sharing your hobby and your knowledge and greenhouses with all of us.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement , I really do want growers to enjoy the hobby and have success growing these beauties and at the end of the day if I can help anyone the channel is worth doing.
Great guide. I obviously searched your channel to find good information when I needed to repot my massies. All of them came crouded in small pots with sphagnum only. I grow them in a terrarium sitting in a few mm water. They seems to like it, but a more open and free draining substrate is proboably better.🙂👍😮
I found sphagnum moss was not really working for me, it was staying far too wet especially with the colder nights approaching so I removed it all ever since they have been far better, I have even repotted my Dracula orchids in bark now days, will have to see in 12 months time.
@@MicksMasdevalliaorchids as you say, conditions makes a difference. My terrarium never get below 15 in night.
I have started to have some carnivorous plants as well as orchids now
Once the bug bites it’s a great feeling, I just love potting around in the greenhouse’s for me it’s away of forgetting what’s happening around us all in this current climate.
I have brought 2 masdevallia to see if I can grow them
I’m sure you’ll do fine Clive once they get acclimatised to your environment and growing conditions they’ll romp away.
Hello Sir, I saw your UA-cam channel and understand you are a UA-camr. Very nice video on your channel, I really enjoyed it. Total 2.89k+ subscribers and a Total of 161+ Uploaded videos of your channel. I noticed one thing according to your channel your channel videos are not viewed and subscribed. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. And monetization of your channel will be on. I would like to help you in this matter. Looking forward to your reply, thanks
