Hey Jack, glad to see you, you're doing a great job, thank you for showing it to us. Carolyn your orchids look very beautiful, I love to see you potting them in glass, look amazing. Take care my friend Love, Elpida
Thanks we are so happy that Jack managed to do this and he did an excellent job :0) He is very supportive and we love the glass too! The first one after just over one year in the glass is thriving, so have jumped in to do more so given time we will see how they do, as no matter the change there is an adjustment phase. Glad to have your comment Love Carolyn
Wow! Great job Jack. It's always good to see you in videos. We've enjoyed your creativity in the videos but don't see you often enough. I had tried and managed to drill some glass before but definitely picked up tips that will help next time. And your orchids look great in the glass!
Thanks so much! It is nice to have a real birdseye view of what is happening in the pot. Plus not having to put water in a saucer during dry times, just leave a little in bottom of vase. I think it takes a full year atleast to find out how they are doing. Real test gets answered next year this time Love Carolyn
Glad it was helpful! The job just seems difficult and like most things, not so bad, or you could offer a baking gift to a friend or neighbour to do the job. It is fun to try something new and see how it works for you. Much Love Carolyn
Thanks 👍 Nice to hear from you Vinson interesting to try something different and in our dry climate and indoor heating seems Good ! We will see a year from now
Our pleasure! We want everyone to enjoy there orchids and they reward us with flowers Every Year for Months, does not get much better than that. When very dry area you have to play around to try and get humidity to your orchid Love Carolyn
Good to actually see this done. I’ve drilled into plastic but never glass. It’s a whole different process with the need for water. And I must admit I’m more than a little intimidated by glass. I may ask my husband to do it! Thanks for showing us how!
Yes you should one way or another, just try one orchid. They are surprisingly heavy and much easier to drain water just tipping slightly and not have to turn upside down Love Carolyn
I love the colors of your flowers. They are so beautiful. Glad mom is also enjoying your orchids.Our snow is all gone as well. I am glad you asked about the running water. Jack is a great teacher just like you. Have a wonderful weekend
That was a very informative video and very nice to see Jack again. I’m always glad when we can see how to drill those holes safely. I would love to attend it but I’m a bit nervous lol. Love the orchids!
Wow! Wish I have the equipment to drill holes on glass jar. Roots looks great not too many dead ones. Creating the holes on that jar is amazing. Good job.
I so enjoyed the new repot of moon glow. She is a beautiful orchid. How beautiful that your mom and all get to enjoy all the new color of the blooms while having meals. May I reserve a seat. 😊🏔️🐶. All your orchids I just love seeing and admire. I like peanut butter also with a little honey streamed on. My grandma use to make for us. Yumm. Your views are gorgeous. That is an informative video that Jack did for the drilling of the holes for the vase. Thanks. Wonderful job. Have a yummy lunch and stay safe and good health. 🌿🐶💁♀️🏔️
Glad she is out of that pot and will be happier, and I can very clearly see what is going on in there, Big Bonus! My Grandpa and Grandpa always had a pie around or cookies or a home made soda with icecream :0) Love Carolyn
I’m inspired by your energy and enthusiasm Carolyn. Thanks for always spending time sharing your beautiful hobby. God bless you and all the lovely plants you have and every folks at home❤
Thank you so much! That was so nice, and you know I love sharing and commenting with you, that is when I get to sort of have a face to all those watching. and it is very special for me. Love Carolyn
Thanks for sharing the video with us today. Very nice to see how you do it and you have a lovely plant there flowers in the background they are gorgeous and so are you catch you soon
Thanks for watching! Time like a good year, for full results, but the one I did first, doing so well decided to try a few :0) will see next winter how they look Love Carolyn
So wonderful! Great minds! I just did this same set up yesterday with my catasetum. But I didn’t put charcoal in the reservoir with the lava rocks, just in the medium. I wish I would have! Your orchids are doing so beautifully. I love it! ❤
Sounds great! My first try at catasedum this year and I did put in glass with a holding well the same and it grew fast, but as I never had one before, no flower, so will see how I do come spring if it grows, I was suggested to use more fertilizer :0) Time will tell Thanks Love Carolyn
@@jacolynsorchids1361948friends yes!!! More fertilizer might do the trick, I ordered those slow release pellet baskets and I think I might use two for my one catasetum. From what I’ve learned, they’re super heavy feeders and so thirsty during the growing season. I hope you get some flowers this year. Happy growing! 🙏🌸❤️
I watered mine lots so it looked healthty so before it starts to grow will have to order that so than I can make sure it gets fed GOOD :0) Thanks Love Carolyn@@LostInThisGardenofLife
i have one in bloom with 3 huge flowers and 2 huge buds and couple more coming on it, white with yellow center and another plant is in bloom also. the ones in bloom are in vases with holes, ty Caroylyn!!!
Oh Wow that is exciting, I can almost feel your excitement because I still have a lot of enjoyment watching all the stages of growth, and the fact that they can bloom for you every year, Wow our creator was Amazing Love Carolyn
Ever try an orchid food spray, from the garden center, on the backs of the leaves? Maybe your little one.. Palloric?? would respond to that. Does the white one in the basket have a scent?
@@jacolynsorchids1361948friends One person said that they don't use it, on the back of the leaves, but on top. I found that strange also, to spray the backs, unless they enjoy that moisture. Maybe it's a wrong translation, into English? What do your instructions say? Thanks.
No that way there is some humidity left in the glass, even though most of the water is tipped out Plus you do not need a saucer, and the water I usually put in the saucer in the dry winter is left in the bottom of the container. Love Carolyn.
🌝Moon glow, will love living in a glass house.🍸🥛 🍷 + 🏠= Happy Orchid p. S. Vases need to be, at least moderately heavy, or have a heavy base, or made heavy, with something. Pretty. Pretty. Mine love my crystal vases, because the sunlight going through the textured glass gets broken up, and I don't have to worry about magnified sunlight. I have no drill, so, I use my hand, to drain bath water out. Guess one could use an old, formerly used in the kitchen strainer. My Brother is strong and healthy, with great teeth. Ate peanut butter his whole first half of life. (Mom baked bread.) Tempting eh.
Jack likes the glass not too thin. I can pick up crystal cheap now at thrift store, very pretty. Well Peanut butter very very adicting, but I have swithed the every day habit to once a week with sunflower butter, will have to plant lots of sun flowers this year
It is Fun and Interesting! Some say they get algae happening , I am not too worried about that, maybe if it stayed too wet. I do like a few holes for air movement and venting. It is nice to see what is happening and a good idea to start with just one and give it a year, as takes some time to realls see results of something new happening to your orchid now the one I did first Nov 1922 just over a year and very well adjusted, but any change dows take time to really see. Now I have jumped in with quite a few so will see this time next year :0) Love Carolyn.
I Water same as all my others, once a week during winter. After watering I drain water out of the holes by tipping the vase on it's side. Some moisture may stay in the bottom holding humidity longer for the roots Love Carolyn Roots do not stay wet and you can watch the bark slowly dry through the glass, holes for drainage also help with air exchange and are important
No hole in the bottom than they are safe to put anywhere with no drippy messes, plus with the amt of space for any amt of water you choose to leave, the water supplys plenty of humidity for the orchid, I dump most of the water out of mine, but come summer may leave more for evaporation Love Carolyn
Hey Jack, glad to see you, you're doing a great job, thank you for showing it to us.
Carolyn your orchids look very beautiful, I love to see you potting them in glass, look amazing.

Hi Folks good Job Jack good idea Carolyn thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! Time like a good year, for full results, but the one I did first, doing so well decided to try a few :0) will see next winter how they look Love Carolyn
Hey Jack! So nice that you can share, with your inventive nature, in making Carolyn's orchid-lifestyle a beautiful one.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks he was little nervous, not like saying a quick hello on camera, but having to do something. He was great Love Carolyn
@@jacolynsorchids1361948friends Yes, he was. Reminds me of my Brother. These kind of guys can do anything and fix anything.
Great idea! Fertilize the soil before potting. I need to do that.
You should! It has proven to me very worthwhile Love Carolyn
Looks lovely. Nice to see you both. xxx
Thanks Jack got a little nervous but did a Great Job. Usually he can just say hello quickly and gone Love Carolyn

Ever try an orchid food spray, from the garden center, on the backs of the leaves? Maybe your little one.. Palloric?? would respond to that. Does the white one in the basket have a scent?
I use a foliar spray on all my plants, and they just love it, but not on the backs of leaves, just on the front sides.
I have some forgot about will do that :0) Love carolyn
@@jacolynsorchids1361948friends One person said that they don't use it, on the back of the leaves, but on top. I found that strange also, to spray the backs, unless they enjoy that moisture. Maybe it's a wrong translation, into English? What do your instructions say? Thanks.
Should there be holes in bottom to
Definitely holes to drain off all excess water.
No that way there is some humidity left in the glass, even though most of the water is tipped out Plus you do not need a saucer, and the water I usually put in the saucer in the dry winter is left in the bottom of the container. Love Carolyn.

So it looks like you never have to water them, there basically sitting in their own environment, do your roots ever rot from being wet?

Ten is a nice number to look after, you could send a photo to community to see at carolynorchidfriends@gmail.com
Is there a hole in the bottom?
No hole in the bottom than they are safe to put anywhere with no drippy messes, plus with the amt of space for any amt of water you choose to leave, the water supplys plenty of humidity for the orchid, I dump most of the water out of mine, but come summer may leave more for evaporation Love Carolyn
