Great video lots of information and very helpful. Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing all the info on this new series. Looking forward to hearing the info on all the orchids in your collection. By this I will be able to see which ones will work in my set up and not get the orchids just cause and find out that some will work while others do not. I know that I have heard bits and pieces of this info but one does tend to forget so little reminders seem to work for me as it triggers a memory of that information. All your phals look so green and lush and that is what I am try to achieve in my collection. So far 2021 seem to a positive start for you and it will only get better. Have a wonderful day.
This was a great how to. Thank you for all the helpful info! Sub’d
I had to give this a like, but would have preferred to give a love! Oh well, like it is ❤🧜🏻♀️
Thankyou Nina 💗 Anyone wanting another channel with lots of successful Semi-Hydro examples and tips, Nina's your lady! 😀
@@TheOrchidRoom noooooo!!! 🤣 not with phals!!! Stick with The Orchid Room!!! The result speak for themselves 😍 almost broke out in a sweat there, 🧜🏻♀️😅
This was so informative! Thank you!
Amazing flowering...good information thanks to sharing...
You did an awesome job. I saved it in two of my playlists.
What an absolutely brilliant video Annabel. So informative and helpful. Huge thanks 😊
Thankyou Michelle 💗🙂
Excellent video, thank you for sharing all the info, and your orchids are gorgeous! Keep up the good work!👍🏻👍🏻
Thankyou and thanks for watching! 🥰😀
Loved the video! Can’t wait for more!
Thanks Lucy! 🥰😀
Great comprehensive video!
Thanks Nicole 🙂💗
Very informative! Well organized too :) thanks for the time you spend putting things like this together :)
Thanks Melissa 🙂💗
A very well structured vídeo with practical information. I liked it.
Thanks Fernanda! Hope you are well 💗🙂
Excellent video!
Good information!! Thanks and happy New Year!!
Thanks Jane 🙂 Happy new year!
Excellent video on Phals! I can't wait for all of mine to open the buds! Very easy to get to bloom and now seeing your orchid wall again, I am getting more and more ideas too 😂 I think I simply need a separate plant room like you. Also, this video is making me go to a flower store and look at some phals. 😫 I will blame you if I buy something. Blame the plantfluencer, never yourself. 😂
My main role here really is as a plant enabler 😉 I bought some diamond drill bits, so I'm going to experiment in making holes in clay pots today 😂 Wish me luck! *Cue shattered clay everywhere*
@@TheOrchidRoom Haha :D Oh I definitely drilled clay pots with regular drill as well. Most of them survived. Most. Not all. No phals, I went to check. No paphs either. Just a Vanda, but not today Satan 😂
The Devil wants you to have Vandas 😈
Yes I drilled them a while ago, it was fine and easy
Great video editing, I am sure a lot of time goes into this, thanks for the tips 🌱
Thanks Ian! 💗🙂
Just got my TDS meter today - seems that Scotland's reputation for good tap water is well founded, got something like 136-140ppm which seems pretty good to me from reading around!
Thats not bad at all! I would water with that tbh or mixed 50:50 with rain water would be perfect! Since most of that is probably Calcium. In the UK you can check your water company website for a breakdown of composition, maybe you could check it out to see if you can do the same in Scotland? It'll just help you adjust fertiliser if you know!
Very helpful 🙂 👍
Good afternoon, great video cant wait for the other families, im having a hard time with my brassavola ones they wont bloom. but i think it a light issue. Thanks again for sharing, have a great day.
Thankyou 🙂 Could also be seasonal, my brassavola are just starting to bloom now! Or like you say, could be light related. Have a great day too!
Hi Annabel, Happy new year, hope you had. Good Christmas. What a great video, jammed packed full of lots of usable info growing beautiful Phals. Love the house building analogy, made it easier for me to understand the why behind the doing. I will watch it a few times to embed it to memory. Do you feed your Phals only Rain mix, or do you use seaweed extracts, Cal mag, Epsom salts etc in conjunction?🌸 Ps Is your Vandanopsis in spike yet?😀
Very good video 🤩👌
Thanks Alex! 😀🥰
Nice 👏🏻
💗🌸
Great and informative video! What was the phal featured in your video, where did you get it? It's got so many roots ans flowers, really a great orchid.
It's a NoID I picked up at a garden centre a few years ago- most of my hybrids phals are 🙂
This is a nice video, good vibrant attractive colors. Very informative for new orchid growers. Do you have a name for the pink Phal at the beginning?
Nope, its a NoID, similar to sogo gotris if you're looking for a similar appearance 🙂
Did you have to buy the organic media for the video or did you happen to have it lying around? Seems so weird to see bark and sphagnum in one of your videos.
On water, I've watered with tap for years. Our tap water here varies between 145 and 175 ppm, most of that is calcium bicarbonate and P2O5 with varying amounts of other things. I never noticed a buildup of Ca(HCO3)2 in the orchid pots, where it does become noticeable at the bottom of houseplant pots.
As an experiment, I wanted to see if I could notice a difference between watering with pH adjusted tap versus R/O. I was able to get a small R/O unit, for a very reasonable price, that I can simply attach and detach from the faucet on the laundry tub and collect the water in buckets. One thing that I have noticed on using R/O versus tap is a marked difference in root growth. Don't get me wrong, the roots grow fine using tap. But the number of roots and the associated branching has increased where R/O is used. Because it has only been a couple of months, I don't see any real difference above the pots but I expect there to be a noticeable difference down the line.
We'll have to talk fertilizer down the road. I've been doing lots and lots of reading. I'm switching some plants back to MSU with others on a 20-10-20. There is a belief among some well known growers that you can get a "nitrogen block", which reduces or entirely inhibits flowering. Based on my Bratonia Estrelita never reblooming until I stopped feeding it, I would say there is some truth to this.
I've still got some nice chunky bark and besgrow sphag lying around from when I used to use it 😂 I can't throw it, I keep thinking it'll come in useful one day or I'll do a comparison, or something will just hate SH/lava/rocks and need the bark. The bark is the '5 years or more' type, not sure if it's been treated but it was the best I could find other than orchiata. I feel like some of the cheap bark mixes sold here in garden centres set people up for failure with the fine grade bits. So thought I'd use this video to show a more appropriate structure 😆 I do have one phal in bark/moss still that needs a repot, I tried filming it for this but the pot is full of algae so it looks a bit gross and you can't really see the roots. I totally think tap is a viable method if you have reasonable tap water- Dustin has really showcased that. But I also noticed worse root growth when I used tap, before I tried semi-hydro. And then with semi-hydro any mineral and salt build up can really cause issues, so I had to start using the water filters before I moved and got the RO and rain collection system 🙂 Love rain water and how easy it is, but I do think it harbours moss spores 😆 Interesting to hear about the N flowering blockade, I've never experienced it and I'm more of an over fertiliser if anything. But, maybe thats they type of orchids I grow, and I definitely have some that don't bloom that I suspect other causes for, like seasonal triggers for the Encyclia cordigera maybe and I'm putting the Iwanagara in that boat for now. But if it doesn't bloom this spring I'll have to look into that further!
@@TheOrchidRoom I think Appleblossom should be more likely to bloom for you this spring, IME it responds to an increase in day length, mine always bloom (+/- 1 week year over year) in March.
This video was excellent! Has all the information one may need for growing phals so thank you. Yours are beautiful BTW.💖
Hi Mary! Thankyou so much, I'm so glad you think it is useful 🥰
Thanks for the beautiful and informative video. Great job! Your orchid blooms are magnificent, and the leaves are quite healthy and impressive. What is the name of your orchid shown at the video intro? Thanks.
Thankyou! 🙂 I'm sorry, it's a NoID purchased in a garden centre, most of my complex hybrids are NoIDs. For a similar look Phalaenopsis sogo gotris has a similar-ish colour pallette, shape and bloom count. Not the same but may be one you like.
Thank you, Annabel.
This appears as I notice that my n-th phalaenopsis died! It's two this week only hahahahah oh well, I'll keep trying (also I have three more phalaenopsis that seem to be doing fine - although they never bloomed for me - and a 4th one that is deciding if it wants to give up or keep trying)
Happy New Year Annabel :-)
I'm so sorry about your Phalaenopsis troubles! Do you tend to lose more in winter? I hope they pick up soon 💗 Happy new year too!
@@TheOrchidRoom Oh, it's no problem, really :-) and yes: I tend to lose them more during the winter time and I did notice you explaining how winter could be problematic if all the right conditions are not there. Also, these two latter plants that dies were in a bad shape already from the get-go. I knew from winter 2019 that I should adjust something, so I repotted a couple of plants in ricotta-cheese baskets hahaha :-). I don't know about the UK, but in Italy ricotta sometimes is sold in plastic baskets, so I'm quite proud I came out with that idea!
Definitely learned the hard way boring all my roots the first year before I got a tds meter....1500ppms yikes. Over fertile my babies.
This was really thorough and we'll done!
Maybe you said it or it showed on screen but I can't seem to find it, what's the name of the phal in the beginning? Thanks!
NoID unfortunately, as for most of my complex hybrid phals - picked up in a garden center a few years ago 🙃
As a thought, if you want a similar looking one, Phal sogo gotris has the same kind of look 🙂 It isn't the same, but you get a similar shape and colour palette. Just a thought.
@@TheOrchidRoom thank you! I'll keep an eye out for that one 😉
💕💕💕
Do blooming habits still apply inside where people turn on their heat or air conditioners depending on season? Light factors of a particular season would still apply I imagine but without controlled environment re heat, etc. seems hard to still predict. Also so many hybrids with mixed needs...poor confused orchid! ha
Average seasonal drops still happen growing indoors- I grew in my spare bedroom for several years, and the bloom pattern was the same. I heat the conservatory over winter. The average temps in summer are still higher than in winter. You may just get odd extra spikes of the heating goes off for a milder week or something 🙃 Unless you heat control and have no seasonal temp differences between summer and winter- in which case, buy yourself some summer blooming phals, they will love the year round heat and spike for you continuously 😘
Interesting video for beginners although then you move a bit fast. It focuses on hybrids but what about species in the home? Maybe an extra topic for the future?
Nevertheless a quite interesting and pretty complete care video.
BTW, what's the hybrid name at 5:05 ?
Keep up the good work.
There is an option to change video speed in the settings 🙃 you can slow it down or speed it up. I usually speed them up 🙃 This was aimed at beginners, hence the focus on complex hybrids, however the same rules apply to all the Phalaenopsis species I grow- you can even see my schilleriana in this video, along with bellina, cornu cervi, violacea, mariae, gigantea, and some primary hybrids. All my phalaenopsis are grown in the same way. The average beginner starts with a complex hybrid really 🙃 5:05 is a NoID complex hybrid phalaenopsis purchased from IKEA a few years ago. I did already do a video comparing species to complex hybrids actually, but I don't think it's really necessary, since here I erred on the side if caution with the temperature range- and that is the main difference for the species that I keep. Less tolerant to cooler temps. But 20-30C suits most polychilos well.
@@TheOrchidRoom I just mentioned the speed of info given can be a bit to much after one another for beginners. As experienced growers can follow, a novel orchid grower may not. Just mentioned it as a tip. The info given is quite complete and well thought trough.
After sizing down due to health reasons, I now grow my orchids in the home and some species like Phal. tetraspis/speciosa, gigantea and zebrina and their primary hybrids seem to be a little more finicky when grown in these surroundings. I grow mounted or potted but I don't use inorganic media or self watering setups. Maybe that can be the difference.
