- This episode is very special in many ways that I’d rather not spoil in this description. It’s worth the watch on many levels. A spontaneous episode filmed immediately after arriving from a long drive back from work, turned out to be a surprisingly great video filled with lots of orchid education and sentiment. I finally get to repot 2 giants like my giant Phalaeonopsis and bat flower plant. Easy steps in transferring them into bigger pots. Plus bonus blooper ending. #orchids #orchidcare #plantlover #phalaenopsis #batflowerplant #blooms #orchid #orchidculture #planteducation

Nelson, please dont worry about the dog barking! i think it just adds to the experience. Its like visiting with a friend and us discussing plants in their backyard. The authentic experience is so much better than some fancy sterile indoor shoot. :)
Thanks Chris. I do agree on that. It feels way more like if we’re hanging out at my garden. That’s exactly how it would be.
Hi Nelson, three things, the repot of that beautiful phal was great, your new haircut looks amazing, you can grow your hair back next winter and finally I understand the sadness when you loose a pet, I myself have lost several and you never forget them, they give so much unconditional love!
Thank you so much Magda. I’m loving my summer cut. Loosing one’s pet is disastrous for me. I never take it well. 😔
Oh dear Robyn I’m so sorry for your loss. Nelson, my heart goes out to you. Our fur babies mean so much to us. I can’t think of mine without crying. Love to you both. ❤. Your orchids are so beautiful and watching your videos always helps me with the care of the few I have. Thank you Nelson.
Thanks Gloria. I appreciate your sentiments. 🫶🏼
I feel the same way about every dog I have rescued and loved they really are earth angels all we can do is love every one that comes into our lives God bless
So true. 🙏🏼
Losing a beloved fur baby is painful 😢. Condolences to you and your friend.
Love the new haircut! Thank you for showing your beautiful big phalaenopsis.
Thank you Shirley. 🙏🏼
Hi Nelson, she looks so good in that pot, just beautiful. And, I love your new summer fade, so cute 😍 💕 💗.
Thanks so much Wanda! Glad you enjoyed this 🙏🏼💚🤗
Dearest Nelson, I fully understand your love for your furry baby. What I can say is your short hair looks FABULOUS. Can’t believe the size of your phalanopsis. Wow! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🌏🌏💕💕
Thank you so much Louise. 🙏🏼
That phal is gorgeous 😍 I love how you keep it simple because when you have a lot of orchids that need repotting, the easier the better! Mahalo for mentioning me and my channel 🤙🏽 These types of videos are definitely helpful for us orchid growers 😊
Thanks so much 😊 Glad you found it helpful. I want to do more this summer. 💚
I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby😢, what many folks don't understand is that our pets are family and we love them deeply. You look absolutely amazing with your new haircut Nelson and I know it will keep the heat to a minimum around your face! Thank you for the repotting editorial!
My dog was more like my daughter. She was everything to me. All the experiences we had together. All the moments of struggles and hardship she was there by my side. Letting her go was like a piece of me dying forever.
@naturenel yes I totally understand both my cats and dogs are just that to me, no judging my mistakes and simply loving me for who I am!
That’s a massive phal! What a pride and joy! You cut your hair short! Yay! It will grow back comes the colder months🤔😊
So sorry to hear what happened to your furry baby 🐕. We just recently adopted a dog, and I couldn’t imagine the pain you’ve been through! Your furry baby will always be in your heart and part of a great memory❤️ Hugs 🤗 ❤
Thank you so much. 🙏🏼👍🏼🤗
❤the haircut. I’m so sorry about the loss of your fur baby. That phal is gorgeous 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. 🙏🏼
Hi Nelson, I’ve been behind in the videos, family tragedies. The hair cut, like both ways but summer to hot. Phal is huge but beautiful and Bat plant really looks good in the new pot. I to lost my Irish setter many yrs. ago, haven’t had a dog since, only cats but get attached to them too. Still miss her so much. Thank you for the repot session💚💚💚💚💚💚
Hi Linda! Been a while. Sorry about your family matters. Glad you liked my new cut. It feels amazing in this heat to have short hair. I’m very attached to my cats too. 🫶🏼
My deepest condolence to your friend losing her fur baby……. Love your cool summer cut way to go man…….good video on repotted.
Thank you! 🙏🏼🤗💚
The fur baby from next door was probably barking at the owl that’s singing 🎶 over your voice. I am pretty sure of that. LOL. I love nature, listening to an owl in the daytime is special. Do not think it bothers people. Your videos are very helpful to me. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge..
Lol! Possibly. We are very close to the Florida Everglades National Park border line. We have many visitors from that side to ours.
I lost my sweet cat in 2016 and it still hurts. Miss him so much. Thankyou for your great videos ❤
I'm 😞 sorry. They just have a way of imprinting their love and affection in our hearts for ever.
Love the new cut! As always I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing ❤🌸👏🏼
Thank you Sabrina! 💚
Great video, great haircut and I’m so sorry for your loss.😢
Thanks so much🙏🏼💚
Hello, Nel I am so sorry about your Baby. I know what it is to lose a fur Baby they are part of the Family and deeply Loved. Thank you for showing how you repot your orchid. It is beautiful. Your new haircut looks Great. I hope you have a nice weekend.🌹🌹🌹😊
Thanks so much💚💚💚
Thank you for sharing your repot instructions. I love ❤ your haircut!
A wise man once suggested to keep it GREEN! Why doesn't he take his own advice and stop wearing black. The black absorbs the heat!!!
You look fabulous in green! ❤
lol! I’m usually wearing black because we hairstylist own allot of black for the obvious reasons of being a hairstylist and colorist. I would say 80% of my attire is black. At home I usually record right when I get home from work so definitely black will be the color of choice. I do have allot of green shirts but for some reason once washed they look horrible. I need better shirts. lol.
What a lovely repot. My heart goes out to you and Robyn. I too know much it hurts to loose a fur baby 💔. Hugs my friend, hope to see you soon.
Thanks so much. I know that you lost you baby in a horrible accident. It was a very sad situation. Thank you for sharing our sentiments. 🫶🏼
I’m in love with your haircut. ❤ I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs.
Thank you so much. It feels so fresh with this summer cut. Thank you for you condolences 🙏🏼
Hola Nelson, todos los cortes te lucen pero este es perfecto para verano y el otro para invierno. Acerca de las mascotas, ellas son una bendición en nuestras vidas y su pérdida deja una inmensa huella 🐾 😢mi corazón también llora como el tuyo y Robin al oír de este tema. Tus videos son una medicina anti estrés 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Muchísimas gracias. Me encanta como se siente este corte. Libre de el calo en la cabeza. Gracias por tu participación en mi canal. 🙏🏼
Couple of things - concerning the loss of a pet, I had to euthanize my rescue dog about a month ago. She was my constant companion and her loss affected me more than anything I had previously experienced. The grieving is ok, it's a part of healing. One a different note, I've done what you did with that phal on numerous other plants, only I've taken it one step further. Because the roots were so entangled in the pot, I would just place the plant, pot and all, into another larger pot. No issues at all. They just keep on growing with zero setback. Now for the Bat Plant - I had a beautiful one - once, till my parrot developed a fondness for the plant. He ate it right down to the soil! Aughhh..... Stay well.....
I’m so sorry to hear of you loss. Euthanizing I believe is the worse trauma for the pet owner. But it is possibly the most humane way to depart from your fur baby. When they are suffering is always best to let go. That’s why I had to make that choice with mine.
Putting a full pot inside a bigger pot is perfectly okay. I’ve spoken to some very high ranking orchid growers in the industry and they do the same. I believe some orchid people believe that orchids need to be scrutinized over and over. When I stopped over-caring and overprotective with them, I noticed a huge improvement in my collection.
Hi Nelson😌🙌I enjoyed the repotting🥰You have a big job there with caring for your orchids and I see you do just a perfect job🤲💞Enjoy your orchids😌🙏💞
So nice of you. Thank you Newman. It’s always a project in my greenhouse’s and garden. 🪴
Oh wow, what a humorous phal😮🎉🎉🎉. I'm so sorry to you and your friend that lost their fur baby💐our condolences 🙏. We lost our great Dane last year and our house still misses his presence 😢 💔 they become your children. And yes we will see them again . When Gustav past away I had severe depression then my oncologist suggested starting a you tube channel for my orchids...in a way it did help a bit but truth be told you never get over loosing a child...weather it has fur or not. Our dogs are our everything and super spoiled 💕. Anyway, I don't want to make us both sad. Just wanted to say I love your channel, and I sympathize with you and your friend.💐🌸
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Teresita is a Great Dane girl. She lost both of hers not to long ago. She has a tiny fur baby rescue now. But her love is Great Danes. Losing them is just as loosing a family member. They are my world. Creating a channel as an outlet to our loss can be good therapy. 🙏🏼
Never seen such a big phal it’s beautiful. Love the Bat plant specially when it blooms around Halloween. My fur baby is old don’t want to even think about losing her.😢
Isn’t that a massive Phal? I never imagined it was going to get that big. I got it years ago before the pandemic. It’s been in the same pot ever since. Now it’s in its new home.
Don’t think about your fur baby’s age. Just enjoy them every day as if it were the last. I love my babies every single day harder than the previous day. That’s why my kids are spoiled brats. lol!😆
I had 3 dogs, 2 Schnauzers and a Yorkie who were close in age, and my son had two Chihuahuas (my grandpuppies Ike and Tina) which were about the same age as my dogs. They all died within months of each other. I have been dogless since. I retired in February and we’ve been so busy since with a long vacation, buying a house in Florida, and selling a house in Oklahoma. We just spent the last month preparing for and having a living estate sale, and we move to Florida in July. After we get settled there, I am going to get a dog. I feel like I have a hole in my heart that needs a dog to heal it.
Yay!!! Welcome to Florida. Dogs and cats just bring on a no that is unmeasurable. I fall in love with my fur babies deeply. And they return so much more back. That’s why whey they depart it’s so hard for me. Happy puppy searching. 🫶🏼
Thank you for the welcome! I can’t wait. If you happen to know any good Yorkie or Schnauzer breeders let me know ❤
Great video Nelson, thank you for sharing….😢 🐾 💖
👍🏼💚🙏🏼
Im so sorry, Nelson! It's one of the hardest things that we ever go through in life losing someone that we love.. ❤ Sending you comfortable and peace.
Thank you. 🙏🏼💚
Hi Nelson I know exactly how you felt ;I lost my baby Ruby two years ago 🐶🥲all beautiful thanks for sharing this great video 😍🌱🌱🌱
Sorry to hear that. It’s never easy saying goodbye. No matter how long they have lived, it’s never long enough.
Great haircut Nelson! Sorry for your loss. 😢
Thank you so much🙏🏼
Luv the haircut.Sophisticated!Great repot
Thank you so much 😀
Woah, that Phalaenopsis is amazing, Nelson! And now I'm planning to get one or two soon... you'll be the reason i'll buy phals soon! this just inspired me! 🤣💚💚
also, sending warm hugs! I hope your loved furbaby is doing well now wherever he/she is now. 🥺🤍
I love when I’m accused of encouraging orchid collecting. It brings joy to my heart. By influencing you to get an orchid I feel I just gave you a natural proscription for your happiness.
Hi Nelson , Love your new haircut, thank you for this video lalways learning from you .❤
Thank you! I love the comfort of this cut.
Love your haircut Nelson
Thank you so much. ☺️
My mom put a can or plastic bottle/cup in the middle of the pot so the roots isn’t going to be compacted in the middle and you need only take out the bottle to change the moss when repotting. She also fill the bottle with sand for anchoring (unless you’re going to hang them). Japanese growers have special pots that have hollow middle too for easy repotting and prevent root rot.
That’s such a clever idea to put a can in the middle. Brilliant! Thanks for the idea. I may try it some day.
I wasn’t prepared to start balling at an orchid repot. I lost my fur baby about a year ago (next week will mark an official year). I understand what you mean about PTSD. I got her when I was in my early twenties and she was my one constant in all of the different life changes I went through over the years. She lived a long life and in her old age she got kidney diease (stage 3 by the time we found out). She went downhill so quickly, and my husband and I did everything in our power to keep her around. It was so traumatizing seeing/experience her last few days. I still think about and miss her everyday. I’m sorry for your friend’s lost and what you went through. It’s never easy losing a pet but I wouldn’t trade the memories I created with her for anything.
I’m so sorry you lost your baby only a year ago. You are right. The memories of all the joy and love and experiences is priceless. I do want to have that again someday day. I’m just not ready for it yet.
Thanks for sharing. So emotional.❤
💚🙏🏼
I also lost my little boy ( chihuahua mix ) back in 2018 from brain cancer and it still hurts so much. He died in my lap while I was screaming in agony. I can relate, even while I’m writing this, I can feel a lump in my throat and it hurt… still.
Awe! I’m so sorry. It hurts to read this. I guess we are way more empathetic to other’s loss when we ourselves suffer the same trauma. 🙏🏼
Aww, god bless you ,I'm so sorry. I have six furry babies, their miniature Yorkshire terriers. I've had yorkies all my adult life, and it's so hard loosing them. I feel for anyone's loss. 😢❤ 🇬🇧. Take care guys
Awe!!!! I love Yorkies. They are so adorable. My ex roommate years ago had 2. I learned allot about Yorkies living with them. Enjoy your babies every single day. Give them love constantly. It’s never too much love.
Nice repot Nelson! You always choose great pots for your plants. My sympathies to Robin. It’s hard losing a pet. I hope you smile when you remember all the great moments you spent with the dog you lost.
I love the hair!
Thank you PC! I do remember my little girl with joy. It is painful sometimes to go back to her last days with me. That pot I got at Home Goods about 7 years ago.
I think that's the largest phal I've ever seen. When I have to remove moss, I use tweezers, but it takes a long time.
I finally have my newly repotted cattleyas in an outdoor porch with windows. The humidity has been pretty high recently in CT so I'm hoping it will help with new root growth.
My Mom's toy poodle suddenly died about a month after her first surgery for teeth removal but she was 13 years old. That was at the beginning of the pandemic which was already a miserable time. My Mom had to get another one soon after and I think it helped all of us heal.
Thank you. Yea this phal has surprised me in growth. I’m in a conundrum because I hear that removing the medium from an old orchid causes more damage. While others say that the old medium rots the roots. Here is where my logic questions. I’ve been to professional growers homes who have had their orchids in the same pot and medium for up to 30 years. I see nothing wrong with the orchids. So why do we need to remove the medium? Still not making too much sense. Old school growers that I’ve met don’t believe in tampering with the roots because they feel that’s not a natural happening in nature.
@@naturenel A lot of roots stick to the old media and it may have bacteria that is beneficial.
Looking freaking sharp with your hair cut!!!❤❤❤
Thank you!! I love the way it feels. I didn’t realize how much heat hair can hold.
@@naturenel oh yeah, when I had hair to my butt it was always feeling like an inferno! I like your hair short better! 😊
I love that you’re so real!😊
Awe. Thank you so much. 😊
Saying goodbye to a pet is never easy. I still mourn my last Borzoi. And yes, I noticed the haircut right away. Thanks for the video.
Thank you💚
My goodness, look at you handsome. Love your hair. You do look more comfortable. That phal is incredible. She will do just fine! I would love to have a bat plant. I don’t do well with anything but orchids. Stay well and out of the heat. Much love until next video!
Thanks for the video. I like your hair
Thank you so much Jode. I’m loving the summer cut. The comfort is amazing. I didn’t realize how impractical the long hair is in 100 degree weather. lol!
Thank you!💚
Another great video!
Thank you!🫶🏼
Wow - giant Phalaenopsis orchids….
My biggest one.
Beautiful ❤thank you for teaching we always learn a lot love you 😘
You’re welcome Yadira. 🤗
Subscriber said to come and see this amazingly Large Orchid "congratulations" it is huge. Here it gets Hot like you in Florida, In the interior of BC Very hot and 20% humidity most of the time. Not enough so always looking for different ideas and of coarse fun, thanks, wish I could edit like you cause just did a video and no voice came LOL so that will be educational and fun but will put it up Thanks for your video Love Carolyn
Glad you are enjoying the videos. You are correct on the humidity, it’s way too low for that heat. You could definitely keep them indoors with grow lights and a humidifier. As far as editing, that’s my background. I am graphic designer and marketing graduate with a bachelors in commercial arts. It’s comes pretty easy to me to edit. Plus I do enjoy doing it and coming up with new ideas thanks for taking notice. 🤗🫶🏼🙏🏼
Great repot! That phal is amazing the way it branches like that! So sorry to hear about your doggie though as it can definitely be tough.
Thank you Emmanuel. This Phal is just so special to me. 😊
Sr Anel muy bueno su video esa Phalanopsis esta bella ,de la pérdida de su perrito eso es muy triste ,yo pase por ese dolor también ,nunca se olvida .Abrazos .
Muchísimas gracias.🙏🏼
Hi Nelson, I know how you and your friend is feeling, I lost my baby of 16 years 😢 💔 he loved me more than anything 💔 😢 he had to be with me all the time and we went to town and every where together ❤️ I still miss him so much 💔😢😢 it been year
😢🙏🏼🐶
Thank you Nelson, good teaching video
You are very 🤗 welcome.
siento mucho la perdida de tu angelito, siempre sera parte de tu vida, hermosas orquideas, abrazossssss.
Muchas gracias!🙏🏼
Good to see you back..... I thought maybe all that rain was keeping you in.... I loved that orchid. I bought a rhodedendron last year that has similar colors, she's not doing so hot.❤😊😊😊
The rain had nothing on me! lol! Actually every summer we slow down due to the heat and ma I of orchid events. Sorry about your orchid. We can’t save them all. Even though we wish we could.
Really enjoying these repot chats. I learn even more even though I grow indoors. Thank you, Nelson! Appreciate that you were willing to console a viewer on a loss and sorry you lost your dear fur baby. Sending blessings your way.
So nice of you. Thank you for the blessings. Back at ya! 🙏🏼
Nelson, That's a beautiful phal. I'll bet that it would win an award at a show. (Maybe you should consult Julien at K-S) Nice pot for that "baby". Your method of potting works well for you. I have been experimenting with tree fern medium with my phals. They seem to like it. I'm so glad that you went with the shorter hair style. For myself, I did the Twiggy (or I also call it the Joan of Arc) short style for the summer. The heat/humidity is much more tolerable with the shorter style.
Hey Pat! Tree fern works well with Phals. Actually Julien was the one who told me I should enter it. Shorter hair is what’s up in the summer. It’s just way too uncomfortable in 100 degree weather. And the humidity makes your hair really frizzy.
Uuff.. us empaths watching your vid are surely all getting choked up as you talk about losing your little fur baby. It truly is like losing a family member.
Oh yes! I choke up on commercials sometimes. Empath are highly sensitive to animals. We perceive and understand the animal world very differently than most. It’s a gift and a curse. The curse comes when we have to let go. I feel the pain so deeply. It’s hollowing. 😢
Loved this video and thank you so much for doing the bat plant repot. I have a seedling and hoping it grows as beautifully as yours.
I’m keeping an eye on my bat plant cause the all purpose soil may be too dense. So far it looks amazing. But when the soil is too dense, it can cause root rot. 🤞🏼
@@naturenel hopefully the heat you’re having down there will help it dry out. My issue is the new leaves all come in with a brown tip ugh.
I have not been on for a while. Your White Phal with the blush pink centre reminds me of my overzealous White Philippinensis (very overzealous) orchid which gave me four spikes one after the other!! It finally died, but gave me a beautiful keiki!! Happy weekend.
Welcome back to the channel! 🫶🏼
My husband and I, over the years, had to say goodbye to so many of our fur babies that the emotion you shared with us awoke the same sadness we experienced. Sadly, it NEVER gets easier. But, yes, when we go home, we will be reunited 🙏. At the first sight of your new “do”, I knew the heat had to have been the decisive factor. You can always go for the Keanu Reeves’ look when it gets cooler🥹. By the way, your Phalaenopsis is SPECTACULAR! Have a lovely weekend😍
💚🙏🏼🫶🏼
I do readings 4 people u don't have 2 wait till u go back home to c your pet as your pet 2 visit u and give u signs and it will I love my animals 2 and have rescued many they come when I ask when I am down or just miss them it is not the same but it does help when they give u signs they r with you
I do see a lot of the signs. But it never comes close to actually being with them in the physical. I never in a million years thought a dog could steal my heart the way Kaylah did. She will forever be my little girl.
No tengo palabras para decirte lo vonito de tu vivero ❤❤
Muchísimas gracias. 🙏🏼
Qué belleza de planta!!! Está preciosa y todo tu jardín!!! Saludos.
Gracias Doris. 🫶🏼
Nice repot on your phal
Thank you!
😂😂😂😂...the ending is hilarious!!! ❤❤❤❤ We are going from 70's to 90* tomorrow... I'm going to freaking melt!
Hi Debbie! Glad you stayed all the way to see the blooper. I was so delirious I was talking to myself as I do allot, trying to convince it was not hot. lol!
Me encantan tus videos sobretodo que aprendo mucho. Soy amantes de las plantas pero las orquidias no se me daban pero sigo tus consejos que das. Y ya tengo 9 sobrevivientes😊 me insiste llorar. Miscondolencias
Éxito! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Me alegra mucho saber que los videos te están ayudando mucho en tu aprendizaje de las orquídeas. 💚☺️
Gracias.
haha!! you made our dog go crazy! she was sleeping in the bed and then thought we had another pup in here, and comes out barking like anything. sorry to hear about yours....but nice phal, btw :)
Awe! That’s adorable. My cats love the tv. Sometimes they sit there mesmerizing on the imagery.
Belleza ❤ wow
💚
Great video and information
👍🏼
Your hair looks good 😂
Thank you!
Water hose, intense spray right down in the center from the top. I know it sounds rough but it's better than leaving rotten medium in the pot and spoil the whole pot.😢
Nice hair cut mate
🤙Thanks!
Nelson Luces 10 años mas Joven con ese Corte de pelo ❤
Siento mucho tu perdida lo vi al final del video 😢
Muchísimas gracias!🙏🏼
You cut your hair! Looks amazing, though. I'm totally jealous!
Regarding the roots and spagnum moss... it's a conundrum because if you leave the moss in and it causes some roots to rot, is that any worse than cutting up and damaging lots of roots trying to get the old moss out?
Also, I love that pot! Where'd ya get it from?
From my personal experience I’ve never really lost a Phalaeonopsis due to not clearing out the old moss. I know it’s a big argument to leave it take out. I like to clean it out when possible. Starting fresh is best. But in this situation the roots grew into a ball so tight that at this moment I may do more damage than good. I may revisit the orchid once all the flowers drop and try a different method to remove all the moss. I just don’t want to disturb it too much to avoid early flower drop.
❤❤❤
💚
Sr Nelson no se porque en mi comentario salió Anel , discúlpeme .Abrazos
Mmmm have you ever thoight aout putting a fan outside ? Makes A Huge DIFFERENCE ,Just Sayn .....😊
I do have a fan outside. lol! I just can’t put it on when I’m filming because the noise gets picked up.
I can't believe you cut your hair 😢
But I won't criticize, intense summer + long hair must be horrible.
Great repot, as usual 👏🏻👏🏻
lol! Off with the hair! It was more uncomfortable than stylish in the heat. Glad you enjoyed the repot.
Nice pot ❤ where did you get it 😊
I got that years ago at Home Goods.
Hi ❤🇬🇧
👏🏼
👋🏼
18:46 18:51 lovely
HI
👋🏼
When will you water this phal?
Once the moss dries I will water it again. Perhaps in a day or 2.
