Hey Matthew. I have been reliably told that you lovey pink cym that is compact with upright flowers is a style preferred in Japan ( note the name) so keep an eye out for Japanese named cyms
Hi Matthew, just to make you even more perfect than you already are 😊 Kulnura is pronounced Kull…new…rugh. You just need to tweak the middle and you have it. Kulnura (and Barrita Orchids) is local to me so finally I know something I can share. 😂
Matthew! I truly enjoy your videos and with Stephen Ryan. I just inherited 12 of these and I have reported some of them in rinsed red lava rock and a few wood 🪵 Chips. (What kind do you suggest?) There were some dead roots which I cut off with scissors and alcohol. 🌱🌲 So I was wondering if they have a better chance of survival without being too wet? I got a new fertilizer that is magnesium calcium. Have you done any of this kind of changeover and if so, are you going to repot in a future video? Thank you so much and appreciate your work.

Thank you for watching both channels! Not sure which orchid type you're referring to? If it's Phalaenopsis then yes, don't keep them wet. I let mine dry a bit between watering but never completely dry. And as to changing the media they're are in, go for it. It's just a re-pot basically and people have many ways of potting them, depends on your conditions really. But medium sized bark with a little sphagnum is good, or all sphagnum as well, or any other type of media really! Good luck with them all!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing this video. First, I have a white Phal that grew two large spikes last winter. They were so thick that I cut them back to about a foot long and used them as a plant support in its terra cotta cone pot. Now in addition to the two new spikes, the older ones have each grown two smaller spikes. I’m curious to see how this plays out. Secondly, I have a Paph that has grown tall and lanky and does not have leaves on the stem that is now about 3”. Do you have any suggestions on how to get this to grow new leaves from the medium?
Good luck with the Phalaenopsis! As to the Paphiopedilum, could a) possibly need a re-pot if the plant just isn't looking great, and b) it could also be not getting enough light if it's leggy. Try and find somewhere a little brighter and if you're in the southern hemisphere then a re-pot and a good feed might also be the ticket! Good luck!
@@helloplantlovers I was going to repot as suggested and when I picked the plant up, there was bud opening. It has opened yet so I am holding off on the repot. I think my medium may have too much soil in it. Thanks again for your recommendation.
Hey, Matthew! It's Matthew from Indiana. I can't remember if you have said...do you use commercial insectisides? I have a mealy bug outbreak and I'm trying to figure out how do deal with them.
Matthew, thanks for sharing your blooms ❤🌺❤
Many thanks for watching!
Wish you a happy new year to you and your family 🎉
Hello Matthew,
I wasn’t sure whether you could actually comment on your post’s❣️ I’m so glad I can❣️ You are so funny❣️
Thanks for watching!
Matthew, I'm so grateful for all your videos! Beautiful display 😊. Also, your glasses are fantastic. All the best to you and yours in the new year!
Many thanks for watching!
Merry Xmas Matthew and a happy new year to you and your lovely orchids
And to you!
Thank you for a year with wonderful Videos and a lot of helpful tips. I wish you all the best for 2025. Greetings from Munich
Many thanks!
Beautiful orchid 👍👍👍👍👍🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝
Thanks for watching!
Magnificent collection. Love them.
I saw you were talking about supermarket rescue orchids. But I never see Coles or Wollies discount them.
I don't look anymore - but they used to when the flowers died! My favourite nursery always discounts orchids when the flowers die!
Great display - Thanks !!!
Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎄😍
And to you! Many thanks for watching!
So that's why my 🇬🇧 supermarket orchids are in flower at the same time as yours, Matthew 🇦🇺 🤔 😆
Super market Phalaenopsis orchids are forced so there will always be a batch in bloom. Once you get it home it will settle into a yearly cycle though.

There we are! Thanks for watching!
Your summer our winter here in Florida
That's how it rolls!
Many thanks as usual, lovely plants. Jan
Many thanks for watching!
P.S. I love your sweater!
Ha! Thank you!

Mathew, which flowers do you find last longest, or should it be longer, masdevallia or sarcochilus ? It should be longer.
Definitely Masdevallia!
@helloplantlovers thank you

Hello! I do - if it's beyond manual control! Otherwise I just use an old toothbrush and rubbing alcohol. Good luck!
@@helloplantlovers Do you talk about what you use in a video?
@@matthewcondon1985 No - It would only take a second! There's no secret alas - I just use a regular insecticide, or rubbing alcohol.
Wish you a happy new year to you and your family 🎉
Thank you - and to you!
