Hi! My Sederia Japonica is doing beautifully! It had 6 blooms...they smelled delicious. I think I may get another! 😉
Awesome Job Kristen this is why the CJOS greatly needs to have you do a presentation!
I've been wanting to come! You know I love you guys :)
Kristen thank you for posting this! This is an excellent video on mounting orchids. Best I have seen!
Awww, thanks, Deb! That means a lot coming from you. You guys have a Merry Christmas! Big hugs!
Very cool. Learn something new every time. Looking to next video. Was always a problem for me terminating the ends.
Thanks, Cary! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'll miss seeing you in January
@@newworldorchids Yes, me too. Hopefully Jan 2022. This must be a strain for you, business wise. Kisses
Great tutorial, very thorough and clear :) Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Crochet needle is great instead of a chopstick, because they have a small hook at the end.
Hey Clint! Thanks very much for your suggestion. Do you find that the hook gets caught up in the roots? That would be my concern, although I haven’t tried it. I have a lot of crochet hooks that I could try, though! Thanks very much for watching :)
Ahh cool, you started a channel, I like your plants expect another order from me once the temps warm back up. 😁👍
Thanks so much, Todd! And of course you can wait to order, but I ship with heat packs all winter long and haven't had any trouble (knock on wood!). Merry Christmas!
@@newworldorchids Oh cool, I will order sooner since you do heat packs, I didn't know.
Merry Christmas.
Great video, thanks for the tip about Nutricote - is that 18-6-8? I want more of your videos! :-)
Hey Van! Yes, that's 18-6-8. I get it from Amazon, the Provider of All Things Tangible. And there are more videos on the way! So good to hear from you, and thanks for watching :)
@@newworldorchids Thanks Sweetie! Looking forward to more videos, you do a great presentation.
Do you recommend this in very humid environments? I use inorganic mounts with sphag for my mounted orchids and I HAVE to keep it away from the stem on any species, from Odorata Retrocalla, to a seedling 'S.J. Nagoran' seedling. I wonder if super glue gel actually works???
Hi Lindsay! Thanks so much for watching. I have talked to a number of people who have used various glues successfully. I have used E6000 which is a super thick adhesive, and there’s something called “Tilly Tacker” made specifically for attaching tillandsias to mounts. It looks an awful lot like E6000 to me…. I don’t know why you couldn’t use super glue! It definitely dries faster, but it might be harder to get it to work with the plants because it’s runnier/thinner.
As for problems with humidity, the obvious question is whether you have enough air circulation. I’m sometimes bad about turning on my fans, and that leads to fungal and bacterial problems. I generally have about 60-90% humidity in the greenhouse, so I would call that humid. I think that even in that environment, mounted plants need water daily in the summer and every 2-3 days in the winter (low light/cooler). But if you have problems with over watering (like I do), then mounting is a much safer way to grow. Baskets are another great option for plants that are hard to mount.
I hope that’s helpful! Thanks again!
Can you please tell the name of the orchid.
lol , i think there grade to moss , doesnt mean its new zealand its good
