Your Vandas are on a whole other level of amazing! You truly keep it green💚 I can’t agree with you more pre spraying before a big storm and after the storm. Here in South East Homestead is extremely humid and wet in the rainy season. Fungus is very present. It has to be hit with the hard stuff. But I’m intrigued about adding the food in with the fungicide. Definitely saves doing twice. Great video🤗
Hello Nelson, it good hearing from you. As it is now we are having a similar issue now in my neck of the wood with humidity and wet weather as this time of the year we get rains almost every afternoon. So we have to ensure weekly treatment. It can be a lot of work, but off course we have to do whatever it takes to keep our orchids blooming and beautiful. Yes I always add food to my mixes and I find that it works. So happy you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by. One love from Jamaica 💖🥂👌
Hello Nancy, I thank you so much!! Thankfully the storm has moved away from us however we are still getting lots of rain. We hope that flooding may be at a minimum. One love Nancy 💖🥂🙏🌴
Hello Patricia, I'm glad you do. Sorry to know that you've lost some of your orchids to the rain. Two much water on them can really be a challenge. Next time around, please ensure that you protect them with some fungicide. Blessings friend 🙏💖🥂
...YOU ARE SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST - ORCHID DOC😘. . . I really really really love seeing your orchids. . . THANK YOU ALWAYS for sharing your orchids caring prowess🤗. . . KEEP SAFE from the weather disturbances😊...
Hey there Claire, this warms my heart. 🤗. You are most welcome. I love what I do and so really do not have a problem sharing my experiences. We are presently getting a lot of rains and are trying to keep safe and warm. Thank you and one love. 💖🥂🌴🙏
@@growingorchidsinjamaica ...same here in the PHILIPPINES got SUPER TYPHOON NORU - was forecast to batter our place up here in the north but went down to the central area and unfortunately it is still affecting us with rain and wind. . .it is 3:56AM now and waiting for the morning to check my orchids😊... ONE LOVE😘
Hello😊💕, always love seeing your orchids and your beautiful garden. You work so hard at keeping them healthy, I'm not surprised they always look so lovely.. I've been following the updates. I see that the storm is heading your way. We got lots of flooding here in Trinidad and Tobago when it passed us especially in the southern part of Trinidad, I live in the northeastern part of the island so the damage close to me wasn't too bad. Hope you stay safe🙏. Warm greetings from TnT 🤗💕😎🌴☀️🌸
Hello Nicole, I'm so happy you dropped by and that you love seeing my garden offerings. I really enjoy taking care of it and so it doesn't feel like work. 😊 We are so grateful that the storm has moved away from us, but we are still getting lots of rain from it and light to moderate wind. So sorry to hear of the flooding it caused in your homeland and hope that persons who have been impacted is able to pick up the pieces. Here too we anticipate that flooding may occur in the lower and southern parts of the Island. We keep our fingers crossed that no lives will be lost. I hope your garden managed the excess rainfall well and you do keep safe as well. One love from Jamaica 💖😊🙏🌴👍
Beautiful orchids. I wondered about rain. I only have two orchid plants which I put outside for the summer months. I had them undercover but recently put them in the rain. Rain water always makes my regular plants flourish but I am worried about root rot on the orchids.
Hello Sonia, you are most welcome. We spend a lot to purchase our plants and so it is in our best interest to take good care of them. I'm happy you found the information useful. Happy gardening 💖🥂👍
Hello there Tarja, I am so grateful the extent to what could have happened have been minimized. We are getting lots of rain, but that without the strong wind we can manage. We just pray for the persons in the low lying areas. I really hope you too may not be negatively impacted and we continue to pray for protection. Blessings and one love from Jamaica 💖🥂🙏
You are most welcome Sandra. I always mix fertilizer with fungicides and insecticide as well. I'm told they work best separately, but they can be mixed. Thanks for stopping by. One love.💖🥂
Hello Ann, thank you and you are most welcome. The system has moved away from us and we are so grateful. We are getting the rains though and hopefully the impact of that will not be overwhelming. One love and lots of blessings to you. 💖🥂🌴👍
Hello Jean, glad you love the blooms. I have most of my orchids outdoor so you can just imagine the amount of work to keep them protected from the rain fall. What orchids do you grow?
Hello Maria, we are very grateful, the storm has moved away from us. We should be getting lots of rain though. Let's see how that works out. We pray for the persons still in it's path.. Thanks for stopping by. One love.💖🥂🙏
Hello Jewel, I basically just let things be and pray for the best. Lol. I also lower the plant and take the very delicate ones inside. Thanks for watching and one love. 💖🥂
This tutorial is so neat, and timely!! I never realised that these fungicides could be mixed all together!! I use Neem Oil as my fungicide. I will check our garden centres here in SLU for the "Mancozeb". I did notice that one of my "just released" Dendrobium Bigibbum blooms (white with a small pale pink/mauve centre) is a little mal-formed and has a couple spots. I did not realise that it's because of the heavy rains. Thank you so much for this tutorial - it has been saved for future reference. And the batt operated sprayer - da Bomb!!
@@tarjaalexander3904 ... No, I do not sell (for now), presently collecting to form my own nursery, with the intention to sell. This "dream" will take a couple of years!! What is your SLU location?
Hey there Lyn, yes the fungicide can be mixed with the insecticide and the fertilizer as well. Some persons prefers to use them separately, but it doesn't harm the plants if you mix them. A rule of thumb though is to read the labels and they most times will say if they are compatible with other chemicals and or which you should not mix them with. Please note that Mancozeb is the active ingredient of the fungicide and so you may get the same thing under a different brand name such as 'Diathane' etc. I think the battery operated sprayer for a gardener is the best thing since slice bread. Lol. I love it. It makes my life easier. One love from Jamaica. 😄🥂💖🌴
@Lyn Bristol Ok great! yes it does take some time to build up your collection. Another option though is to import from Thailand etc. You perhaps could try that. I need to visit your Island in the near future and meet up with you all. Lol. Best wishes 💖🥂
Здравствуйте. Я живу в Челябинске. У меня есть Vandachostylis Pinky с деткой. Если детку отделить на ней опять вырастет детка? У вас очень красивые ванды и растения.
Привет друг. спасибо, я рад, что вы любите мой сад. Прежде чем удалить молодое растение, убедитесь, что у него достаточно корней, чтобы выжить самостоятельно. Я действительно не могу сказать, вырастет ли еще одно детское растение на материнском растении, так как это зависит от того, что происходит с растением. Одна любовь с Ямайки 💖🥂
Hello Juliet, you are most welcome. Yes I did add the 20 20 20 to the mixture. Some persons do not believe in mixing them, but I do and it works for me. One love.💖🙏
Hey Lyn, I usually use my cocktail as I mix it as it may looses its potency when you leave it for awhile. I guess a few days may not hurt though but if and when I do that I mix them individually. So if it's fungicide I don't add anything else to it. Blessings!
Hello Paulette. I only sell Phalaenopsis orchids. There are persons who sell orchids in St. Ann. Email me and I'll give you the information. Thanks for stopping by. One love.
Hello. Be safe. Hope your beautiful garden will not be affected too much. Oh how I wish my few mocaras eould bloom as pretty and abundant as yours. The system passed just north of us with about two days of constant much needed rain. I brought a lot of my cattleyas on my porch. I am in Curaçao further south of Jamaica
Hello Loretta, we are so grateful that the TS Ian is moving west away from us. Really happy it did not affect you negatively either. We never know what the outcome may be and so we have to just prepare. The Catts really would not manage too much rain and wind at all and so you did the best thing. I took in my Phals as well as those are so delicate and would not manage the wind at all. All and all we have to just give thanks and pray for the other places that may be in TS Ians path. One love from Jamaica 🥂💖
Orchid Doc: Watched this with interest and wd like to know the name if the plastic water sprayer you used? Is it battery operated hence the sound of a motor.
Hello Girlygirl, I;m so grateful that you've watched with interest. Yes the sprayer is battery operated. Kindly email me charmkp@gmail.com for more details.
Hello Arun, you are most welcome. pH -Plus is actually a water conditioner as well as a adjuvant. Of course you know that the plants uses the fertilizers best if the solution is at a pH of about 5.5. So the water conditioner will aid in adjusting the alkalinity of the water. Hence the pH plus works 2 fold. It is manufactured by (MAI) Manufacturing Arm International Inc. in the USA. Best wishes. 🥂🙏💖

Hi Jude, yes the rain water will also help the orchids to flourish. However, the key is to allow your orchid to dry out in between watering.
Thank you Orchid Doc for that information. Beautifully explained. Be safe. I certainly am going to take your advice. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Orcid Doc ! That was timely and useful information!. I'm hear praying that the hurricane goes south as the preparation is just too much!!
Hello Fay, we have so much to be thankful for, our prayers have been answered. I'm glad you appreciate the info. One love 💖🥂
