If I may weigh in on the subject of growing multiple plants in one container, I have this to offer from observing a lot of orchids in trees and rocks in norther tropical Australia and central and south America. If a tree or rock offers the requirements for an orchid to grow, i.e. exposure to sunlight, water, the right fungus to germinate the seed, nutrient supply, and others, and because orchids seed in the tens of thousands per pod, the breeze that distributes the seed often blows many seeds on one tree limb, trunk or rock face. Specimens of gigantic proportions, according to what we grow in pots, turn out often to be multiple seeds that germinated and grew together in the ideal location they found. The evidence for this is easy to determine when the plants are in bloom and you notice flowers with slight differences, indicating difference seedlings from the same pod have grown into a colony. The factor most important is that a group of plants requires more nutrients and water than a single pot. If your strategy meets these extra needs, they grow fine and sometimes even better, from my experience, in a group. Offered for coonsideration. and with with deep gratitude to Nelson for the enormous contribution this channel is making to plant lovers around thw world.
First of all great story. I loved knowing how the seeds travel and land in clumps on branches. When they bloom you see the difference. That’s awesome. And secondly thank you for your amazing compliment. When I read comments like this, it validates what I do and I’m deeply humbled. Thank you 🙏🏼
Your videos are so real and relaxed. I love how genuine you are. I know you want the videos perfect, no need to worry about the shadows,From you're not on a Hollywood set and those who have followed you understand.I love your hair. Please keep it.
Thanks for your tutorial in repotting I Greatly appreciated your 101 class. I am going to give your method a try. I have been collecting orchids 24 years now and I have been unsuccessful with phals. phals. I have no problem with Catts, Dends,Oncidium, etc. I live in Miami and I grow outdoors Will keep you posted if I am successful using your method.❤🙏
First thank you for a great video. We can see everything just fine. The shadow did not bother me. Love your humor. Worry less ! As far as your hair do what you want. I love it short but it’s not my hair. Be you!
Thank you so much Nelson! I need to repot a phal soon and this is a wonderful tutorial. I like your hair short, it shows your handsome face but….then i saw the long hair ‘Keanu’ version, Fabulous!! So….i’m no help at all…..LOL. I love your hair either way. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for the videos.
Hi Nelson, great tutorial! You're videos are always great! In my opinion the short hair would be better for the summer. You can grow it back for the winter and have a different look 😊
Nelson, you contain too much LOVE, so not a one of your plants would ever think to combat with another! They know they have entered into a peaceful environment 🥰💜 HAPPY HAPPY
Another note, to remove any decontamination of used clay pots, old salts, and fertilizers is to make a tub with water, squirt of ammonia, and touch of liquid soap. Rinse well after soaking and air dry. ( maybe dip pots into another tub clean water with distilled vinegar after cleansing then air dry )
I love the way you repotted!! I’m afraid of moss but it seems great for you. All your ovals are gorgeous!! Yes! Keanu! Let it grow!! Looks great!! 😊 it’s so therapeutic to repot Phals! I do it for people at work for fun. Hahah
Don’t be afraid of moss. Moss is your best friend. lol! Use only New Zealand moss. That makes a huge difference. With the styrofoam peanuts you won’t have to worry much about over watering.
Great repot Nelson! I’ve been adding those packing peanuts for a while now & it is a game changer and that is the best moss 💯. I’ve been avoiding repotting my species phals; thx for the motivation 💚. Sevin (seh-vin 😉) is the best preventive for those pesky thrips! I’m at the point where I buy the concentrate & mix my own, that’s how much I love that stuff. Keep it green hope to see you soon 🤗.
Yay!!!! Love to motivate and inspire. Happy repotting. 🤗 Im obsessed with Sevin. I look like the Greek dad in the movie Big Fat Greek Wedding with the spray bottle. Only instead of Windex I use Sevin. lol!
Hi Nelson! If I had to choose one person to emulate, as far as orchid culture is concerned, it would be you, my friend. You have the most beautiful orchids, hands down! You must be doing something right!
That’s so inspiring. Thank you for that. I will be honest, it’s been a long road to successfully grow different varieties of orchids. But the rewards of all the persistence and hard work is immeasurable. Thank you for that validation. 🙏🏼
A lot of times in the plant world siblings will not compete in the sense that they won’t “attack” the others. They of course will use nutrients though but you would have the same situation if you interplanted a mother plant with keikis.
Thank you for the tip on Paphs fertilizing! 💚 I have 1 Paph Lady Isobel in semi-water culture that exhibits the same exact symptom as the one you showed (leaf tip turning brown) usually during summer hot months. I was told it’s salt buildup and to ease up on fertilizer - even though I only use 1/4 tsp per gallon. Anyway, i skipped fertilizer last summer and sure enough the symptom went away. 😅 But the plant also didn’t grow much. Maybe I just don’t have the right environment to grow paphs. I will skip fertilizing again this summer and see how it does. 😅
What a nice repotting for Phals video! Your methods are well-explained and demonstrated. I'm currently trying to grow my phals in shallow pots made by Natalia. I'm using tree fern fiber. So far it seems to be working well for my growing techniques. Unfortunately, I don't have much luck growing in sphagnum. My choice is to use other media. (The spray you use is pronounced like the number, 7.) Honestly you should probably use a mask when you spray with it. My vote is for the short cut for your hair for the summer. (I have mine cut to the "Twiggy" look for the summer. I can't stand the heat/humidity here.) You did a great job with the repotting. Thanks for sharing your video with us.
Great repot, I love seeing you doing this type of video. I've said, on your grey era, and now I will say it again! Your hair is looking GORGEOUS. I, personally think, you should go for the "Keanu Reeves Era". Let it grow!!
Hi Nelson just Sunday a friend asked what was wrong with her Phal she gt as a gift and I told her she needed to repot and I was lk let me look fr a video fr her, and Nelson comes and saves the day. Great and informative video. Love the hair.
Great video, thank you. I can relate to the heat too. I live in a part of the country that has only two seasons, winter and summer, so I know how you feel. Finish up, make a large pitcher of lemonade, sit back and enjoy your plants. All the best to you....
Greetings Nelson from Kentucky. I like Phalaenopsis orchids because they don't require high light like for Vandas. Yours are beautiful. Watching this video makes me want to go to the store and buy one. Regarding your hair style, I think the shorter look is the best look. Plus, in your FL heat it has to be more comfortable. Happy growing, James
Hi Nelson, this is yet another great and informative video, thank you so much. Your orchids are BEAUTIFUL!! And since you did ask, my vote is for that sexy close cut you were wearing before, I love it!!
Hi Nelson. I am back from a few months of break from UA-cam. Glad to catch up on many videos. I have to repot two phalaenopsis and I am glad I am watching and learning. I have put two different color phalaenopsis in one pot and they have grown with no issues. I actually have them in bloom now. I do love the orchid you have mounted in cork. That’s is so hard to find here and a bit expensive to order. You do a great job presenting and funny along the way. 🤣🤣 they looks so beautiful in terracotta pots. Wow. You did a good job looking like Keanu Reeves. 👍👍👍. I enjoyed your video and I will see you on the next one. 👏👏👏 I do follow Melissa also. Have a great week.
Looking forward to the Bat Plant repot because I need to repot mine.The first time I nearly killed the plant.Only a baby servived .My Bat Plant is huge with a lot of baby bat plants.I like your hair short and cropped.Thx for the video 😊
Hello hello😊, love your video. I love when we can learn and you are willing to share little tips with us how to grow orchids better thank you💖 talking about your hair. What about ponytail will give you a couple options😀 and also please Nelson. I need your help why I keep killing novelty phal. It is too much water. It is too much fertilizer not enough fertilizer to dry to dark to light. What’s wrong with me?Lol
Hello Yolanta. I have no idea what is wrong with your Phals. It would be impossible for me to diagnose an orchid issue if I’m not there to evaluate the care, environment versus the medium you use, temperature fluctuations, watering program, lighting, humidity. On and on.
Another wonderful video teaching us your preferred way to repots your Pha. Thank You Nelson, yow will look good in any hair style, you hair is Beautiful 🤩
Great video thank you! It actually helps to see how you are growing them so beautifully. I will definitely try this setup since it’s my favorite moss as well. Can you please share your slipper orchids care and potting? I can’t keep them hydrated:( Thank you P. S. Go with Keanu Reeves style!!!
Thank you. I don’t have any Paphiopedilums to repot yet. But I promise I will do one soon. I mix media with it. Always add spagmoss to your media for Paphiopedilum. A good mix of Orchiata, moss, and clay beads works well.
Hello Nelson 😊 Another great video.. I have a question. When you water your phals with the hose, do you water the entire plant including the crown? I was wondering..Do you ever get crown rot? What do you do if you ever get crown rot? And by the way you asked about your hair? I love this style on you. Your hair looks so healthy and this style gives you a carefree and softer look. Thanks again for the helpful tutorials. Warm greetings from TnT 💚😎🌴☀️
Oh if we all had that one watering system for every season and every orchid, But watering alternates depending on seasons. In the hot summer I drench everything. In winter I try to water mainly the base. I dont really have a crown rot problem. I can count in one hand the times Ive experienced crown rot. But advice to you is water the phals completely and then either blow hard in the center to disperse the trapped water, or simply turn the plant sideways to release the water in the crown. That's basically what I do. Im really trying hard to get through this hot season without cutting it. But I not making any promises. lol!
Nice video Nelson. You are handsome, even if you put a bucket on your head you’re still fine. 🤣 However, I’d suggest something more comfortable for the summer.
Oh PC I think I draw the line at bucket wearing. lol! But thank you for that. I’m seriously considering military crew cut for the summer. It’s unbearable here in Florida this summer. 🥵
Nelson, I really like a man with a pony tail! Then you can undo it when you want to wear your hair long and loose. Do you ever use orchid bark? Bought a Phal. at the grocery store and days later took it out of the container only to find that the roots had been sitting in water and were rotting. Tried orchid bark to re-pot but too late. Now I have a bag of bark. (Will get another Phal. later.) One vote here for a pony tail!
Thank you! I have done the ponytail many times. It’s alright until I start loosing hair from pulling it back so much. I don’t plan to let it grow that long tho. Just above the shoulders. As far as bark goes, I’m not using it much nowadays. It breaks down and becomes a mush after a while causing root rot. I like using lava rock and charcoal for most of the orchids. Specially for Cattleyas and Dendrobiums
Hi Nel😌🙌Great repot episode👏🌟I enjoyed watching🥰Have you seen my episode on repotting the Japanese way yet? It's fun to try😌🙏I'm looking forward to your 'In Bloom' video🙌💞
Hi Nelson I feel for you in the heat & shadows there 😅 also I think you will look awesome in the dude ponytail ❤ I suggest trying it....good intertaining video! I watch all your vids. And what a collection😊....
I’ve done the ponytail many times before. Although very comfortable, pulling it back so much cause hair loss in me. I may grow it as little more and than chop it all off. 💇🏻
Maravilloso consejo! Tengo exactamente el mismo problema con mis phrags, tienen las puntas negras y pensaba que era hongo o bacteria. De una voy a suspender la fertilización. Muchisimas gracias por compartir ese conocimiento. Sera que lo mismo sucede a las draculas??
Seguramente que si le están pasando a la phrags es el fertilizante. Cuando Frank Smith me dijo eso fue como que se me alumbró el bombillo. Lo estoy notando en algunos Oncidiums como el Yellow Dancing Lady. También dejé de fertilizar. Suerte!👍🏼
The pots should not be much bigger than the current one. If you can fit the current pot loosely inside the new pot, that’s a good way to scale it. I went back to see what you meant about the second one being way too big of a pot. Actually that pot is the perfect size for that one. That Phal was way overdue in the little tiny cup it came in. As a matter of fact that Phal right now is about twice the size in only a few weeks. It was constraint in the cup.
Hi Nel, Thank you for the good planting tips. I’m in dry, dry Northern California. I would like to know your printer setup, what type of printer and how did you print your tags. They’re very attractive and useful. I’m still handwriting. :-). Thanks, Teri
I may include how I make the tags in a video soon. 👍🏼 This is the printer I got on Amazon. Brother P-Touch PT-D210 Label Maker Value Bundle Includes 4 Label Tapes, Easy-to-Use, Home...
I didn’t buy it. Actually my partner is the person in charge of all building and ordering. I know that you can get it on Amazon. I looked online and this is the info. We do spread a 65% black screen over the white shade plastic in the summer. The sun here is way too strong and the orchid leaves burn.

❤always a great video. I always get sad when the song comes on and the video comes to an end. So much to learn from you thank you Btw I love the hair maybe you can pin it back for your videos? Growing it out might take to long. The all gray In your prior videos didn’t suit you. This look gives you a fresher look
I think it may be heat burn. But you may be on to something cause I have noticed the tips on some oncidiums getting more tips burns. Time to test!🔬🥼🧑🏻🔬
I water according to the moisture in the moss. Stick your finger in it about 1 inch. If it’s moist or wet don’t water. If it’s dry then water as needed.
I get everything in Amazon. Brother P-Touch PT-D410 Home/Office Advanced Label Maker | Connect via USB to Create and Print on TZe Label Tapes up to ~3/4 inch
You can simply wet the root area well and break the pot into pieces until most of the pot pieces are out. Or just put the existing pot in a bigger pot and fill with moss. The terracotta acts as medium.
Yes. I potted 3 Phals in bloom during the video. They do not really effect the blooms. Only if you start damaging the good roots will the blooms be effected.
Of course let your hair grow you’ve gotten this far. Buy a metal hair band for men. Thanks for showing us how to pot novelty phals I own one flower stem died hope it will grow a new one.🤞🏻
35:29 I read that paphs from high elevations need to be fertilized less and watered with with low ppm water. You really look like Keanu. It must be because you're a hairdresser. 😁
Long hair! I love Keanu❤
Ah! I just went very short again. 💇🏻

Thanks for your tutorial in repotting I
Greatly appreciated your 101 class. I am going to give your method a try. I have been collecting orchids 24 years now and I have been unsuccessful with phals.
phals. I have no problem with Catts, Dends,Oncidium, etc. I live in Miami and I grow outdoors Will keep you posted if I am successful using your method.❤🙏
Good luck! Keep me posted on your progress. 👍🏼
Thanks. Do you water the phals the same day after repotting?
First thank you for a great video. We can see everything just fine. The shadow did not bother me. Love your humor. Worry less !
As far as your hair do what you want. I love it short but it’s not my hair. Be you!
Thank you so much! That shadow was driving me nuts! I’m made my decision on the hair. I’ll share it soon what I decided.
Thank you so much Nelson! I need to repot a phal soon and this is a wonderful tutorial. I like your hair short, it shows your handsome face but….then i saw the long hair ‘Keanu’ version, Fabulous!! So….i’m no help at all…..LOL. I love your hair either way. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for the videos.
Glad my tutorial is helping out. 👍🏼 I think I will let the hair grow out and then cut it super short. 💇🏻
Hi Nelson, great tutorial! You're videos are always great! In my opinion the short hair would be better for the summer. You can grow it back for the winter and have a different look 😊
I agree! It’s just too hot for long hair.
Nelson, you contain too much LOVE, so not a one of your plants
would ever think to combat with another! They know they have entered into a peaceful environment 🥰💜 HAPPY HAPPY
Another note, to remove any decontamination of used clay pots, old salts, and fertilizers is to make a tub with water, squirt of ammonia, and touch of liquid soap. Rinse well after soaking and air dry. ( maybe dip pots into another tub clean water with distilled vinegar after cleansing then air dry )
Ha, enjoy your Samson length style hair, but when filming, use your plant clips, very inconspicuous. 😊
😄
Thats very sweet. 🤗💚🫶🏼

Great video and information
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Truly you are one of a kind, amazing!!!
I agree I love Keanu Reeves , he truly is a good person and you play the roll real well!!! 🤗🌸👍🏼
Thank you so much. 💚🫶🏼🙏🏼
I used some of those styrofoam pieces from a delivery and they were water soluble and disintegrated! So check they are the old fashioned type. ☺️
Good to know. 👍🏼
great, thanks for sharing. it is good to have a video where you & your friends just talk about do & don's about orchids growing and plantings ...
Always love your vids, even in the shadows. It's like getting to spend some time with a good friend. ❤😊
Love that!
I love the way you repotted!! I’m afraid of moss but it seems great for you. All your ovals are gorgeous!!
Yes! Keanu! Let it grow!! Looks great!! 😊 it’s so therapeutic to repot Phals! I do it for people at work for fun. Hahah
Don’t be afraid of moss. Moss is your best friend. lol! Use only New Zealand moss. That makes a huge difference. With the styrofoam peanuts you won’t have to worry much about over watering.
Great repot Nelson! I’ve been adding those packing peanuts for a while now & it is a game changer and that is the best moss 💯. I’ve been avoiding repotting my species phals; thx for the motivation 💚. Sevin (seh-vin 😉) is the best preventive for those pesky thrips! I’m at the point where I buy the concentrate & mix my own, that’s how much I love that stuff. Keep it green hope to see you soon 🤗.
Yay!!!! Love to motivate and inspire. Happy repotting. 🤗 Im obsessed with Sevin. I look like the Greek dad in the movie Big Fat Greek Wedding with the spray bottle. Only instead of Windex I use Sevin. lol!
@@naturenel 🤣😂🤣
Put your hair in a ponytail to keep it out of your eyes. ❤I enjoyed your perfect reporting!
I'm looking forward to your next video ❤!
Oh thank you! 🙏🏼
Hi Nelson! If I had to choose one person to emulate, as far as orchid culture is concerned, it would be you, my friend.
You have the most beautiful orchids, hands down! You must be doing something right!
That’s so inspiring. Thank you for that. I will be honest, it’s been a long road to successfully grow different varieties of orchids. But the rewards of all the persistence and hard work is immeasurable. Thank you for that validation. 🙏🏼
A lot of times in the plant world siblings will not compete in the sense that they won’t “attack” the others. They of course will use nutrients though but you would have the same situation if you interplanted a mother plant with keikis.
Good thought. Perhaps since I buy a bunch from the same stock, perhaps I’ve been buying all siblings.
Thank you for the tip on Paphs fertilizing! 💚
I have 1 Paph Lady Isobel in semi-water culture that exhibits the same exact symptom as the one you showed (leaf tip turning brown) usually during summer hot months. I was told it’s salt buildup and to ease up on fertilizer - even though I only use 1/4 tsp per gallon.
Anyway, i skipped fertilizer last summer and sure enough the symptom went away.
😅 But the plant also didn’t grow much.
Maybe I just don’t have the right environment to grow paphs. I will skip fertilizing again this summer and see how it does. 😅
You are right about the feeding. I’ve ceased from any feeding of my Paphs in the summer.
This is a great tutorial! Thank you for this, Nelson!
You’re welcome Bryan. Glad you enjoyed it. More tutorials coming up soon. 👍🏼
What a nice repotting for Phals video! Your methods are well-explained and demonstrated. I'm currently trying to grow my phals in shallow pots made by Natalia. I'm using tree fern fiber. So far it seems to be working well for my growing techniques. Unfortunately, I don't have much luck growing in sphagnum. My choice is to use other media. (The spray you use is pronounced like the number, 7.) Honestly you should probably use a mask when you spray with it. My vote is for the short cut for your hair for the summer. (I have mine cut to the "Twiggy" look for the summer. I can't stand the heat/humidity here.) You did a great job with the repotting. Thanks for sharing your video with us.
👍🏼💚😊🙏🏼
You are TOO funny with Martha Stewart🤣. Love your “shadow dance”😍
Lol! For a moment there I actually felt a little Martha Stewarty. 🤣
Great repot, I love seeing you doing this type of video.
I've said, on your grey era, and now I will say it again! Your hair is looking GORGEOUS. I, personally think, you should go for the "Keanu Reeves Era". Let it grow!!
Keanu era coming up soon!👍🏼
Hi Nelson just Sunday a friend asked what was wrong with her Phal she gt as a gift and I told her she needed to repot and I was lk let me look fr a video fr her, and Nelson comes and saves the day. Great and informative video. Love the hair.
Wonderful! Devine timing. So happy I could help out. 😊
Delighted that you did thisanx even in the tremendous heat
I almost didn’t make it to the end. 🥵
You made me laugh with your dance. I plant some of mine Phals. in clay pots too and they're loving it. Happy growing! I love the Keanu Reeves look.
Great hearing it’s working for you. 👍🏼🕺🕺🕺
Great video, thank you. I can relate to the heat too. I live in a part of the country that has only two seasons, winter and summer, so I know how you feel. Finish up, make a large pitcher of lemonade, sit back and enjoy your plants. All the best to you....
Absolutely! This heat in 2024 is off the charts. Doing these videos now are really challenging.

I love Phals too. They were my first love for orchids so they mean allot to me. As far as the hair, still undecided.
Great video thanks for sharing 😍🌱🌱🌱
Thank you so much you've help me alot as a new orchid person
I'm so glad! I love hearing that. It’s one of the most important things I want in my channel. Education is key.
Thank you Nelson for such an indept, informative video on repotting phalaenopsis! I totally enjoyed it
Thanks Curlene. Hope it helped out in repotting Phals for you. 💚
@@naturenel most definitely!
Great video like always. I love your hair long ❤
Great video Nel! Very informative 👍
Thank you!🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing how you repot phals. I did not realize that they do not need bark. Also, your bracelet is Awesome.
Phals do very well in moss. I find mounting them sometimes is not the best for them.
Can’t wait for the cattleya repot
Coming very soon!😊
I love your videos Nelson you always make me laugh especially when you sing 😂
😊
Hi Nelson, you are so happy today, and yes leave your hair long, you are very handsome either way.🧔🏻♀️🧔🏻♂️
Great tutorial💚
Thank you! It’s a happy day at the greenhouses 🤗
The short cut is better, neat and easy
👍🏼
Hi Nelson, this is yet another great and informative video, thank you so much. Your orchids are BEAUTIFUL!! And since you did ask, my vote is for that sexy close cut you were wearing before, I love it!!
Thank you Wanda!😊
Thankyou for the tip on Paphiopedliums! I think you look good in long and short hair. Heat is tough with long hair. Thankyou for all your videos ❤
Thank you! The heat is making the choice for me. lol!
Hi Nelson. I am back from a few months of break from UA-cam. Glad to catch up on many videos. I have to repot two phalaenopsis and I am glad I am watching and learning.

Hi Nel, don’t you fine moss goes very acid over time, we do in Australia.
Thanks for your video. Would love to see potting of dendrobium still not getting it,so i mount instead.Be bless.
I’ll do some Dendrobium repotting soon.

Nelson, I really like a man with a pony tail! Then you can undo it when you want to wear your hair long and loose. Do you ever use orchid bark? Bought a Phal. at the grocery store and days later took it out of the container only to find that the roots had been sitting in water and were rotting. Tried orchid bark to re-pot but too late. Now I have a bag of bark. (Will get another Phal. later.) One vote here for a pony tail!
Thank you! I have done the ponytail many times. It’s alright until I start loosing hair from pulling it back so much. I don’t plan to let it grow that long tho. Just above the shoulders.
As far as bark goes, I’m not using it much nowadays. It breaks down and becomes a mush after a while causing root rot. I like using lava rock and charcoal for most of the orchids. Specially for Cattleyas and Dendrobiums
Love the K Reeves look. You look more youthful. Try to brave the summer.
Believe me I’m trying very hard to not cut it.
Hi Nel😌🙌Great repot episode👏🌟I enjoyed watching🥰Have you seen my episode on repotting the Japanese way yet? It's fun to try😌🙏I'm looking forward to your 'In Bloom' video🙌💞
Hi Newman. What episode is that? I looked and couldn’t find it.
It's under: dendrobium repotting video
HOLEEEEEEEEE, lista para aprender.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Nelson I feel for you in the heat & shadows there 😅 also I think you will look awesome in the dude ponytail ❤ I suggest trying it....good intertaining video! I watch all your vids. And what a collection😊....
I’ve done the ponytail many times before. Although very comfortable, pulling it back so much cause hair loss in me. I may grow it as little more and than chop it all off. 💇🏻
Maravilloso consejo! Tengo exactamente el mismo problema con mis phrags, tienen las puntas negras y pensaba que era hongo o bacteria. De una voy a suspender la fertilización. Muchisimas gracias por compartir ese conocimiento. Sera que lo mismo sucede a las draculas??
Seguramente que si le están pasando a la phrags es el fertilizante. Cuando Frank Smith me dijo eso fue como que se me alumbró el bombillo. Lo estoy notando en algunos Oncidiums como el Yellow Dancing Lady. También dejé de fertilizar. Suerte!👍🏼
First one, you caution against using too big of a pot but the second looked really big for the small plant- how do we know what size to use?
The pots should not be much bigger than the current one. If you can fit the current pot loosely inside the new pot, that’s a good way to scale it. I went back to see what you meant about the second one being way too big of a pot. Actually that pot is the perfect size for that one. That Phal was way overdue in the little tiny cup it came in. As a matter of fact that Phal right now is about twice the size in only a few weeks. It was constraint in the cup.
Hi Nel, Thank you for the good planting tips. I’m in dry, dry Northern California. I would like to know your printer setup, what type of printer and how did you print your tags. They’re very attractive and useful. I’m still handwriting. :-). Thanks, Teri
I may include how I make the tags in a video soon. 👍🏼 This is the printer I got on Amazon.

Hi Nelson! Love your videos! Can you share what shade % your greenhouse is and where you purchased the material? 💚
I didn’t buy it. Actually my partner is the person in charge of all building and ordering. I know that you can get it on Amazon. I looked online and this is the info. We do spread a 65% black screen over the white shade plastic in the summer. The sun here is way too strong and the orchid leaves burn.

@ thank you!! 💚
❤always a great video. I always get sad when the song comes on and the video comes to an end. So much to learn from you thank you
Btw I love the hair maybe you can pin it back for your videos? Growing it out might take to long. The all gray In your prior videos didn’t suit you. This look gives you a fresher look
Thank you so much!😊
Does that salf build up affect oncidiums too? I notice that yellow tip om some of them.
I think it may be heat burn. But you may be on to something cause I have noticed the tips on some oncidiums getting more tips burns. Time to test!🔬🥼🧑🏻🔬
I’ve never had an issue with two plants in a pot either!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Even with the moss you water every other day?? I am having the hardest time with my phals and root rot.
I water according to the moisture in the moss. Stick your finger in it about 1 inch. If it’s moist or wet don’t water. If it’s dry then water as needed.
Where do you get the tags and what printer are you using
I get everything in Amazon.

❤love your hair shot you look much younger 😅😅

How do you repot the Phals after the roots have attached themselves to the clay pots?
You can simply wet the root area well and break the pot into pieces until most of the pot pieces are out. Or just put the existing pot in a bigger pot and fill with moss. The terracotta acts as medium.
Can you repot a Phalanopis when in bloom?
Yes. I potted 3 Phals in bloom during the video. They do not really effect the blooms. Only if you start damaging the good roots will the blooms be effected.
Hey Nel,

@@naturenel Thank you
Will you ever get a phalaenopsis gigantea?
Yes. It’s on my list of future orchids.
Of course let your hair grow you’ve gotten this far. Buy a metal hair band for men. Thanks for showing us how to pot novelty phals I own one flower stem died hope it will grow a new one.🤞🏻
35:29 I read that paphs from high elevations need to be fertilized less and watered with with low ppm water.
You really look like Keanu. It must be because you're a hairdresser. 😁
Interesting. I’m gonna look into that. I treat all my Phals the same and so far I’ve had pretty good success. Keanu is my soul brother. 🤗
I like the long hair. 😊
😊
Nelson, plants dont compete to bloom. The only thing they may compete for is light, that's if theyre in a dark place.
Agree 💯👍🏼
Nelson, keep you hair short in the summer and let it grow comes fall to winter🤔😉😊
I know! I’m doing it backwards. lol!
tu cabello es hermoso tal como esta.
🤗
Keep your hair long 😊
Ooops! The heat won. lol!
I vote for long hair.
✌🏼
Hi Nelson, Another great video. Yes, cut your hair. You look so manicured and put together with shorter hair.
Thanks! I may just do that.
I love you hair short
