@@andreaallum8859 Ahh, I've seen pics from the uk.. looks soooo beautiful, we only got 0.5 cm in places here and there all over town. You must admit it gets lighter and easier to be creative with some light snow all around? 😁😍
I have been experimenting with my vandas and so far for my environment clay pots and lava rock seems to works best for large vandas and for any neo crosses and smaller species clay pot with bark seems to works best. I hope your new set up work great for you
@@2702foxy Ahh, I do love clay pots as well. But for my vandas it was a bit too dry. I tried lava ones.. but rejected that method. Maybe I was a bit too fast to do so. Many ytubers seem to prefer the lava rock setup! 😀
@@OnceuponanOrchid Ahh, yes I do! I've had it for approx 2 years now. Its been fs for one year now according to the webshop. But its growing of so tall and oh so fast! Merely its foliage is enough to look at. Love her! Thank got watching 😍
@OnceuponanOrchid I certainly will! She was repotted this summer and coping well with it. She had loads of thrips now gone so things can only get better from now on ❤️
Very nice to see all of your Vandas! I had that Ploenpit Blue and it flowered twice a year with a beautiful fragrance, but unfortunately I think I overwatered it last Winter and it got very unhappy, dropped all leaves and died. Once it started going down hill it became very determined to die😂. Such a shame, but it happens.
@@justinsdutchtropics Hmm strange.. mine grows well instead. But absolutely refuses to rebloom for me. For now I've done almost everything in my power to try to change conditions etc to force her to start spiking but no. Too bad to hear about yours.. its blooms has this extremely blue colour I like so much. Very popular back in the 80s. 😁
I wonder if you got any neofinetias in your collection? I like vandas but they take a lot of space. I've got two, one is sitting in a glass vase, the other in a basket with big chunks of bark. At least it works for me. Happy growing🌺🌸🌼
@@yvonnela4979 That's 2 types of vanda setups O surely recognise 😄 I di have a couple of more vandas not shown intjos video! A coerulea and a miniatum and classic blue. I only have one neo. A falcata in my glass cabinet in my kitchen. Recieved it tiny, it still is tiny after quite some time so maybe I'll stick to vandas after all. Perhaps not the tallest sized ones though 😁 Thank's for watching long time no see 😍
Hej, that's a lot of Rhyncostylis. Btw, I like this oriental lamp stand, is it electric or for tea lights? I would by it immediately. I potted my same Currlin Wutt... in a big pot with peanuts at the bottom and big chunks of bark. This summer all the roots above the surface grew really beautiful and as it was sooo hot I sprayed them daily. What I didn't take into consideration was that there also went water into pot so it was constantly wet and after some time I found it full of white mold. Now its in a shallow glas bowle. My monachica is already 30 cm high and currently in spike and has a little keiki since forever. Christmas markets have already opened on the 15th and YT is flooding us viewers with commercials for christmas gifts. Many regards ❣
@@annareiter952 Ahh, christmas everywhere now, everywhere U go. But I think its kinda nice. The lamp stand is Turkish. Electric. I have a single one as well with the same pattern which I bought at a retreat center. Aha, well 30 cm is quite tall for a monachica I'd say, considering its slow growth speed? Or perhaps its highly individual I guess. Do you keep your monachica warm? Humid? And significant fluctuations in temperatures for her? I'd love to see mine in bloom... grr.. funny that you also picked the wuttiphanaara one. Its a lovely bloomer! Take care A! Today our first tiny bit of snow appeared feels great,😍
@@KarinsOrchids All my windows are south-east facing. Some of them are in front of a massive chestnut tree which works as a natural AC in summer. So some plants on the windowsills get only direct sunlight when the tree is leaveless. My monachica lives on one of these windowsills since it moved in from a Columbian Vendor in 2020 from our annual show. Sidnote -> it was before the first national lockdown. Covid was already lurking in Italy and as I'm sometimes a 'realist and pessimist' I was wondering if I should go to the show. The plant was 12 cm high and the seller told me it was FS and showed me a little something on the stam which turned out to be a new root. It is in my kitchen (I like to cook and she is accostomed to all sorts of scents... garlic, onions etc.) along with some Tols. and one of my Angrecum leonis. It flowered exactly 3 years after the purchase before we had a show again. So I have a sentimental connection to her... 'everything gets normal and will be fine'... if you know what I mean. The flowers were more beige then orange with red dots and that's how she blooms every year. So I guess its not only an individual growth habit but also a flowering one. After her first flowering I purchased two other plants (1x Akerne, 1x O&M and a 1/2... seedling from Schwerter which doesn't know if it should stay or go). Regarding humidity, some of my rooms have underfloor heating, which was already there when I moved in, so its dry and around 19/20 C in winter. The temps are much higher in summer. I'm really curious how the other plants will turn out, growth and flowering wise.
@annareiter952 Hi there!guess what, I woke up with a running nose again,,speaking of covid I mean.. this autumn has been very exhausting with one cold following closely ofter the other. But well.. ahh, I got my monachica 2,5 years ago april -22 from O&M. Aa a fs one. And well lately its been taking off quite well I guess in the cabinet with loads of light and humidity as well. So this spring it will be 3 tears since I got her so 😉. So you went on and bought a few more monachicas? Experimental purposes? Or were you only tired of the show one not blooming? They can surely come as tiny plants. There are a few varieties out there..don't remember its name now but its a monachica cross which has got the same snall size nut s lot more orange/yellow flowers..but I guess the monachicas bloom charachter can vary a lot. Depending on how much light etc it gets. Talk soon 😍😍
Great job with the vanda-type orchids! 🎉🎉
@@CharlotteDessi Thank you! Hopefully the rhynchostylis ones will settle in their new setup!
Hi Karin I enjoyed seeing how your vanda type orchids are doing good job 👏 👍

Very nice

@KarinsOrchids woohoo
Good video as I am having quite some issues with my vandatype orchids. Threw away one yesterday ;-(
What's going on with them? Where did you get them from and was it recently? Sad to hear that!!
