    Thanks for the video. I have a mounted cattleya orchid. How do I have to watered? Thanks

    • @thenaturecompany
      @thenaturecompany  8 місяців тому

      mounted cattleya are the easiest .. you can just spray the entire plant with water until the roots go greenish and let it dry before watering again . but they do require more frequent watering than potted ones

    Hello, greetings, I am from Colombia. I have a cattleya trienea alba, my question is that I live in a hot tropical area, coastal areas, so I put it on a trunk, will it adapt to how I care for it?

    • @thenaturecompany
      @thenaturecompany  8 місяців тому

      It should adapt easily to closer to the coast even if it is from the highlands . It will appreciate being on a tree and likes lots of light . just be sure to water it a little more frequently when your temperatures are hotter as they often stay moist for longer in the higher altitudes

    How do I encourage multiple leads on my cattleyas please?

    • @thenaturecompany
      @thenaturecompany  4 місяці тому

      there are several ways , using a seaweed based product to feed will help , it has auxins in it that will help force dormant side buds to activate , also using a product called QuickGro ( i think it is an multinational that produces it ) which has auxins in specifically to enhance lateral bud initiation . the other option is removing the lead . If you have any further questions just ask 👍

    My new cattleya looks shocking. I didnt get it in a good condition but too scared to repot. LOL

    • @thenaturecompany
      @thenaturecompany  4 місяці тому +1

      often it is better to get stuck in and get it done so when they start to grow and not set back again

    It's true that water droplets on leaves after watering can cause little sunburn spots but glass windows do not create this same effect. Glass can trap heat but it isn't as much of a concern as a water drop. Also the evaporative cooling of water is on the whole pretty negligible with orchids. Like yes water evaporation causes evaporative cooling but it's nothing that would be detrimental to orchids, even if they are at their temperature limit any evaporative cooling is negligible,the cooling actually increases the warmer it is. So at low temperature there is hardly any further cooling due to evaporative cooling and the warmer it is the more cooling takes place but the warmer it is the more cooling is desirable. Anyway back to the glass window. Glass windows are manufactured to be flat. If you imagine a water drop on a leaf, the water drop will be round. If you take a snow globe and hold it out in the sun it will create a bundle of light somewhere behind it where the sun rays will all be focused on one spot. This is the same effect a magnifying lens has, it focuses the sun rays from an area and concentrates them creating one really hot spot. I'm sure you have all seen little kids frying ants with magnifying glasses, they burst into flames. Like this water droplets left on leaves on a sunny day can create little magnifying lenses that can create sun burn spots. But windows are flat. They do no bundle or focus the rays. They pass through at the same angle they hit the windows. Anyway just a bit of useful physics there. I grow indoors so I know all about growing behind glass. I can see you grow outdoors. The window thing might have sounded like good advice in your head but it's not based on any real fact so lets not make up tips as we go a long. My biggest peeve in the orchid hobby. I know it can be tough to admit the sun provides the energy, the rain provides their watering need and all you need to do is repot them every 2 years. You might want to come up with tips on humidity trays, growing indoors etc but don't start speculating on something you don't do. I mean if I lived in africa where I presume you are then I wouldn't be growing indoors either. And I wouldn;t be commenting which window is best if I haven't been doing it extensively. Consider this constructive criticism. I just needed to point it out.

      He seems to know what he is doing by the size of that orchid. Looks like you are trying to get some attention in a country that doesn't see any sun or trying to get people to watch you a bit disingenuous

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. I appreciate your engagement and want to clarify a few points.
      You're absolutely right that water droplets on leaves can sometimes act as magnifying lenses and cause sunburn spots. It's an important consideration, especially for outdoor orchids and in specific environments. My intention in mentioning the potential effect of glass windows was to provide a general tip, as many viewers have different setups and varying conditions.
      Glass windows, as you correctly pointed out, are flat and do not create the same concentrated effect as water droplets on leaves. However, it's essential to acknowledge that not everyone has access to perfect glass windows, and some might have older or unique window configurations that could potentially have a different impact on light distribution. As a horticulturist with professional experience, I aim to provide tips that cater to a broad audience with various conditions.
      I genuinely value your input and expertise as a fellow orchid enthusiast. If you have any more tips or suggestions based on your experiences, please feel free to share them. Orchid enthusiasts can learn from each other's experiences, and I'm always open to constructive criticism.
      Thank you for being part of our orchid-loving community, and I look forward to more fruitful discussions!

      28 Jul 2021 - A Vancouver highrise fire ignited when sunlight was magnified by a curved wall of windows, according to a city official. 🤷‍♂ not all windows are flat . English 'CAN' be a difficult language .
