Unpotting Some Larger Dendrobiums

A bit unusual as I've put the effort into filming the 'unpotting' rather than actually potting up the orchids.
As always, thanks for watching.

I put the roots into a bowl of water and find the moss or bark falls out easily from around them. I've not seen anyone else doing this, but it works for me.

[@naomimittell4961]

Interesting to watch your decisions as to what and why to cut off.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@mamabear9389]

Thanks Roger.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

I cut a spend cane that had fully flowered and were leafless. It dropped behind something and found it 7 months later it had 5 keikis! No moss. In an unheated conservatory. South facing.

It almost looks like you did the Momoko in the previous house or when you just got in this one 😁

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

My notes were vague. (Lots of details were lost when my laptop crashed.) They show I got it sometime in 2019 - no precise date - and the 'date last repotted' was unknown.

[@YnseSchaap]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Not far off I think

[@flybynyt1742]

Reassuring to hear about the maturity of the Latouria type, mine are about that large and haven't bloomed either.

[@AraceliFyfe]

Another very informative show.Thank you Roger!❤

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@deemaxwell4172]

You have given me the courage to repot the two biggest nobiles I have, that have so many roots jammed into their pots. Now I won't be scared to cut off those roots that have wrapped themselves completely around the outside of the pot from bottom up!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Keep the best ones - it should be obvious which are the oldest 'tired' roots.

[@zula6436]

Thanks, Roger for a reminder about the older & weaker canes.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@franmclachlan9120]

When the flowers die and fall off, what should I do with the little stems left behind? Cut them off?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Yes, they can be cut off if you wish.

[@wilairat26atoady]

Nice work and now added to get your ass into gear and start growing.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@YnseSchaap]

To grow keikies on any orchid you need bananas and garlic so sayeth the internet 🤣(I truly hate those short videos)

[@tess.campbell]

LOL

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I thought it was ginger, Avocado and Bat poo?

Nooo! You're all wrong ! It's supposed to be a Turmeric or Aloe Vera gel . 😂🤥🙄🤯🤦‍♀️

[@cherylpenn4509]

Thanks so much. I do need loads of help with mine and their first winter coming up.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

You're welcome.

[@marycamilleri447]

Would it be okay to add a few lecca beads aswell to medium?

[@victorb145]

I can't imagine it hurting anything.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Yes - I don't use it but many do.
