I love update videos where we see video footage of the before, and of the after. And if you have a pic of your plant in bloom, it helps to put a pic beside (if it has bloomed before). This is probably maximum work but you asked what kind of videos we like!
I have the first dendrobium cross that you showed, haven't had mine real long and it's a bit smaller , but I can't wait to see the flowers whenever it does bloom, it sounds like it will be really different 🌞💚
I think it'll be a nice one too! Hopefully it blooms in the next year. I'm amazed at the speed in which it's growing 💗 I enjoyed the mystery crosses from the Amazon vendor angels orchids, they've sent nice ones.
Hi Nicole, what I see are plants that have progressed surprisingly well considering the short time you have had them. Seeing your success I am thinking about trying s/h for one or two orchids. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Thanks so much for watching Andre! I find S/H can work well. It's a bit more work with the transition, but you don't have to repot as much and don't need to water as frequently either. If you take the plunge let me know ☺️
I had a chance to look at George King, and i loved it. So when I found it available at my supplier, I jumped on it. One is of course mine. 👍 it is still seedlings though… nice updates! I should do this kind more often but always loose track which ones are which… 😅
I end up having up my videos to a hard drive so I could do these updates and do before and after over time. I personally enjoyed seeing progress videos, so I tried to save the old footage. I'd love to see yours! Will be catching up on videos this weekend ☺️
That would be amazing! If the Dendrobium could do it I'd be over the moon! The cattleya will need several more years, but we shall see ☺️ thanks so much for watching!
The George King x Waianae Starburst, curious what size that needs to be to bloom. George King is a pretty large unifoliate, Waianae is a bit smaller. Having grown on a George King from that size, it took 4 years to develop the first sheath, which was blind. I am hoping the sheath produced this year will bloom. (I have the big, blooming size one but I thought it would be interesting to grow one on from seedling)
Thanks for sharing your experience on that one! I look forward to getting it to bloom one day. I expected at minimum 2 more years, but 3-4 wouldn't surprise me either. I find growing from seedling so rewarding. From that vendor on Amazon (angels orchids) 2 seedlings from the plug have bloomed already the Miltonia Kismet Kind Kai and the Sharry Baby Red Fantasy. It's amazing how quickly oncidium hybrids grow compared to some of the others.
So I am not the only one who "ignores" newbies sometimes??? Minimum care until I can address.....I too have learned my lesson and take care of them right away. Pretty good progress ... even the den that is not growing roots that quickly. I think it will pick up once you get the spider mites under control on that baby...
I hope so! She's so frustrating, and with a name of lemon pink x Hollywood, the blooms should be stunning. Let's see what happens! Thanks for watching ❤️
Hi Nicole! Do you have any videos regarding how to water the LECA setup with these self watering pots versus the moss/bark setup? I keep killing my Miltonia/Miltoniopsis orchids because I can't keep up with watering. I'm thinking about switching to self-watering system but am confused if you always keep the reservoir full with those. Thanks!!
I have a general how I water my orchids video, but it's not specific to the self watering pots. I'll say it's an "always moist" system, so you do need to keep water in the reservoir. Weekly I add water so that the reservoir doesn't empty out. Miltonias and miltoniopsis are especially thirsty so I'd be sure to monitor to make sure that reservoir doesn't get empty. I hope this helps :)
The roots need to adapt to it, so the old ones die off and the new ones adapt to the always moist system. With that said, the roots adapt, but I've learned that this system isn't the best in my environment and I've moved away from it :)

Thanks so much for the feedback ❤️ I can add that for the flowers I can find so you know what can be expected ☺️ Appreciate you watching!
I enjoyed this video. I’m amazed at how these orchids look after only one year. Thanks for sharing. 🤗🌴🌸
I'm so glad you liked it! The first Dendrobium blew me away! I think it's going to be a tall one. Can't wait to see the blooms ❤️
Good morning Nicole you did a great job reviving those orchids. Have a wonderful weekend stay safe and happy growing 😊 Reah
Thanks Rhea! Hope all is well ❣️
I loved seeing the progress. They look great. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you liked it. Thanks for watching ☺️
Great update, they look so happy 💚.
Thanks so much! They are growing so quickly!! Appreciate you watching ❤️
I LOVE THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS! Thank you Nicole, always coming through with the follow up! 🙏🏽💖 they look great though, healthy and big! 😜
Amigo, thank you so much for watching and the feedback ❣️ many more of these to come. I bought so many last fall!

Wow, awesome! That's some very impressive progress! I have to agree with the others, I love these updates.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll keep a string of these going. 😊
Thanks for the update

@@NicoleDeanna ok! I will show you my George king… after my testing trip… I will be home on Thursday evening… hope all my chids survive… 😱
Hi Nicole great update 👍
Thanks Stephen! Appreciate you watching :)
They look so great, and a great update! Next year the first flowers? I wouldn’t be surprised! :D
That would be amazing! If the Dendrobium could do it I'd be over the moon! The cattleya will need several more years, but we shall see ☺️ thanks so much for watching!

Great video- thanks. Do you keep less water in reservoir during their winter period? Am keen to pot my dends in similar set up. Thanks
I keep the water reservoir about the same because the roots adapt in semi hydro thanks for watching!
Will my wildcat bobcat grow well in spagnum moss and small bit of pebble,and topped with bark loosely??
@@richarddrake9650 depends on your environment but sounds good to me and would work in my indoor environment
Indoor windowsills here..good sun all year in bedroom..wish me luck..
Cattleya in leca- roots stay moist. Everything says they have to dry between watering. Newbie confused.
The roots need to adapt to it, so the old ones die off and the new ones adapt to the always moist system. With that said, the roots adapt, but I've learned that this system isn't the best in my environment and I've moved away from it :)
