Great to see an orchid video with an Australian context. I found this very helpful as a novice grower. Thanks very much!

One of the best contents found on Oncidium, thanks for such a nice video!

[@johnnyAGardening]

Glad it was helpful! Clive knows a lot about orchids and has worked with them for most of his life.

[@yolyrom7233]

This was an absolutely informative vid. All the pertinent information you’ve provided was helpful. Other vids I’ve watched didn’t go into vital details. Thank you sir!

[@johnnyAGardening]

[@Maritafeb15]

Thanks very much for your excellent video guides. Can you tell me where to find Osmocote 9-11-15 or 9-5-15 please.

[@nitawal]

Thank you for all this information! I love oncidiums. Do they need a cool period in order to spike? I have a brassia Rising Star that looks sooo healthy but has never spiked.

[@Harphoney]

What is the name of the pink speckled orchid at the end of the video? It’s absolutely gorgeous!❤

[@johnnyAGardening]

That one is an original hybrid by Clive Halls and there is only ONE of them. Its called Odontioda( Oncidium) Beenak Beauty.
Take a look at this video for a little more on this type of Orchids - WITH NAMES in the sub titles and the notes below the video.... SEE ua-cam.com/video/VVNRZn1Of3A/v-deo.html

I’m from the US. Can you tell me what is in the eco oil and the eco fungicide? Thank you!

[@johnnyAGardening]

I do know it is based on plant oils, (100% if I recall correctly) however I do not know the actual plant oils used. I think some of these may be Australian Native Plants. It is effective and is widely used in Orchid Circles. Eco Oil MAY have a data sheet online......

[@orchidgarden3124]

johnny A I can’t seem to find anything comparable in US, except horticultural oil. I’ll keep looking.

[@dianandayani5312]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😍

[@patriciamclaughlin6990]

I cannot find the Osmocote 9-11-15. Where can it be purchased. All slow release forms have higher nitrogen

[@cherylpenn4509]

can backbulbs be grown again?

[@johnnyAGardening]

Sometimes Yes, as long as they have dormant eyes (usually the bulbs are a little green still beneath the skin) HOWEVER, it can take 4-5 years and no guarantees….

[@Unkn0wn1133]

I left backbulbs sitting under the plant table to be thrown out, after 3 months with no water I noticed 2 new growths

[@derberlinerjung]

[@resilience4lyfe331]

Hello. I noticed some of the plants on the bench have moss visible. Is that just a top dressing? Thanks for very informative upload.! 🌱🙏💕✨

[@johnnyAGardening]

Hello Charla, if it is the pot I think you mean, that is sphagnum moss. You can also grow then in that as a medium and it is better if you are sending the plants by mail order. We have a seperate video coming on different growing mediums.....
