Growing jewel orchids: Giving them another chance...

- Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel :) In today’s video I share with you my growing jewel orchid collection. In the past I have killed every jewel orchid I have ever grown - aside from Ludisia discolor - but after having watched a really informative video on the blog Here but not, I decided to give them another try. I have to say- so far so good!
Here is a link to the Here but not blog post I am talking about:

The jewel orchids featured in this video are:
Ludisia discolor
Ludisia discolor Alba
Ludisia discolor x Anoectochilus roxburghii
Anoectochilus formosanus
Anoectochilus siamensis
Macodes petola
Macodes sanderiana
Macodes petola x Macodes sanderiana
Anyways, hope you like my collection. I will inevitably post updates on my plants and how they are doing so stay tuned but in the meantime thank you for watching :)
What's up with that voice of yours, you sound like you're going to cry any moment, I'm not kidding.
Hi i dont know if you will ever read this but of you do please help me 🙏 i have an anoectochilus and the root has rotten. I cut it off and placed it in a pot with leca and i bit of water at the bottom. Will it root again? 😢🤞 Thank you
I would put it in moist sphagnum moss in a closed container- in my experience that is the best way to rescue a jewel orchid.
Sorry for the late reply! Hope you managed to save it :)
Mitch, don’t you have enough plants yet?? 😂 happy holidays!
Is there such a thing as “enough plants”?! Lol - especially when there’s always something new and interesting to grow!
Oh and Happy Holidays to you too ❤️
Nice collection of jewels! I haven't dipped my toes into them yet. I know they're grown for the leaves, but I still want one that has nice flowers 😅. Maybe next year I'll get one. Where did you get these from?
Thank you! They’re beautiful and I find the flowers pretty tho not the standard pretty of other orchids ;) I bought some of them online through Facebook marketplace and also Gardenworks carries them every once in a while!
Oh Boy you found my passion as well. I so love the Jewel orchids and I would love to get my hands on some. I love their leaves and such. Even though their tiny orchids to me are beautiful. My parents use to have them and now I know what they were. Thank you for linking the video because I want to learn so that I can grow them. You are so amazing orchid grower. I am learning so much from your videos. I agree with using moss I still have not been able to grow in moss no matter how much or how less I use. I can grow in other mixtures. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy them and have a great day.
Thank you so much for your nice comment :) That made my day! I’m glad you enjoy watching my videos and I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me 😊👍🏻
