    Wow, thank you so much Nina for sharing care and culture. Such a beauty! The Amethyst came across my radar again a few days ago after a member of a local orchid group posted photos of his. Outstanding colour and form on this primary hybrid taking the best of both parents. Super nice!😍🙏💜

      Hi Robi 😍💐 It! Is! So! Good! To! See! You! 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🙌🏼 I hope that all went well, that all is going well, with you, with kitty, the move, the settling in and your 'chiddos! I so appreciate that this orchid does bloom for me after all, AND that after her repot and root ball cleanup in March of this year, that she just chugged along as it nothing happened, and boom... that new growth that featured in the video is now blooming. Good to have orchids like these in our collection. IF you can get your hands on one, you can see that it is not a space hog, but try to get one with more contrasting colors in the petals and sepals. They look even more magical 😍 thank you so much for watching! Soooo good to see you! Hope you had a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸

    Mine has a medicinal scent like cherry Robitussin 😬
    As for growing its pretty easy grower for me and mine got fairly cold last winter, like 5°-ish C.
    Definitely one of my faves!

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Рік тому +6

      HI Todd 😍💐 interesting, wow! Now that is a fragrance I do not detect because after reading your comment, I went to the orchid and checked if my brain will associate something cherry like. Even at night mine isn't intense. May need to check tonight! I am thinking of switching some orchids to bark so that I can keep them outside during the winter. The schlepping in and out is so depressing and takes too much time. After 3 weeks I am fed up 🤪 I appreciate that this orchid can bloom here. I seriously thought that something is not adding up when it took so long for her to bloom, but now, with 2 leads and holding on to roots with no issues, it looks promising 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Todd! Truly appreciate your support 🫶🏼 hope you are having a fabulous day ❤️🌸

      HI Anita 😍💐 she is pretty! I should not look 'over the fence', but I wish mine would have a little more contrast of the colors on the petals and sepals. This way, my climate wouldn't wash those details out so fast. BUT, I am being greedy and picky! I was so happy when she came into bloom last year and now she seems to be rocking the casbah even blooming regardless of the root ball clean up in March. Awesome! Glad she can hold her own in my conditions 👍🏼 I so appreciate you watching the video, thank you very much! Wishing you a beautiful Saturday, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

    I have grown tired of waiting for my Rby Wow 'Exotic Accent' (Rlc Fort Watson x B cucullata) to bloom. Is it blooming size? Yes. Does it have a good root system? Yes. Will it even consider putting up a sheath? No. One more growth is all I am willing to give it and then it will get the boot if it doesn't bloom.
    As for cooler temps, Amethyst can probably take much cooler than 13 C for short periods, overnight lows down to 5 C (40 F) if growing potted or mounted, provided it is kept dry and warms up to at least 15.5 C (60 F) during the day. I'm basing this on what my purpurata and Brassavolae tolerate here.

      @toddstropicals Рік тому +5

      Mine got pretty cold this past winter and it bloomed like mad, four spike with 3-4 blooms each.
      As for my Bc WOW, well it grows lol.

      @NinjaOrchids  Рік тому +5

      Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! I was about to say, send it to Todd, but he's here saying he has already got one 🫣😆 So, Amethyst is on the list of orchids that would need to be transitioned to bark, so that she can live outside during the winter and on occasions that are a little radical, can be brought in. As she is doing so well after all these years of waiting, I am reluctant to transition her just yet. We shall see how things go this winter, but yeah, it would be along with the purpuratas to go into bark. 👍🏼 not yet though 😅 thank you so very much for your stats, sharing your experience with the temperature ranges. I appreciate the additional intel! Hope you are having a fabulous day 🫶🏼 thank you so much for watching ❤️🌸

      HI Sandie 😍💐 well, I am going to send the bloom vibes for 2024 or EVEN the next new growth, if it is growing one at the moment. You can see how I am getting another new growth this time of year, so you keeping your's nice and toasty, it should fare much better than mine does during the winter. You have an advantage and that will work in your favor 👍🏼👍🏼 hope you had a wonderful Saturday, guuurrrrlllfriend 🫶🏼 thank you so much for watching ❤️🌸

    Hello ma'am. I am from Kolkata ,West bengal, India. Found this only video about brassocattleya amethyst. I have purchased a seedling 2 weeks earlier and had a beautiful root system on Coco husk. But In my weather I Coco husk is not a suitable media for any type of orchids so I changed it and put it to moss and charcoal and bark media. Today I found out the maximum roots shrinked and died and one or two root is very dehydrated but alive.. what should I do to keep it alive? Please help me.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  8 місяців тому

      Hello Arghya 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and a big thank you for watching this video and for your comment / question. I appreciate the support very much 🫶🏼 I am sorry to hear of your seedling and knowing that it came in coco husk tells me all I need to know, because coco husk will destroy the existing roots, unfortunately. So, I highly recommend that, if you get any new orchids in coco husk again in the future, that you do not change the media before you see new root growth (even though your climate is not ideal for the coco husk, waiting is much better for the orchid long term). This way, the orchid is already growing a new root system, even if the older root system does not survive. What you need to do for your seedling now is, keep it on a dish filled with water so that there is always humidity around it and the water is absorbed from below. Please place some moss around the roots that are very dehydrated so that they are able to absorb water and are protected from desiccating completely. Coco husk, as you probably know, is very water retentive and this orchid loves water, so placing it into the moss charcoal bark mix resulted in a drier climate in the pot which the older roots could not cope with. I highly recommend that you do not repot. Your seedling needs to be cared for as is, in the pot that it is in and have a lot of humidity around it so that the leaves do not fall off. I hope that these measures are helpful and that your seedling will recover. Let me know if you have any further questions! I hope your day went well and I wish you a great Friday!! Once again, welcome 🫶🏼❤️🌸
