Hi Alice! orchid advice: absolutely no soil! You'll suffocate and rot the roots. Phalaenopsis orchids are epiphytes, think of all their roots as aerial roots. Your best bet is a mix of orchid bark and moss. Let it dry out before watering.Also do not get water on the leaves. You can cause crown rot, only water the substrate.
I am here for you being an orchid girl over a hoya girl. I’ve been an orchid girl for years and have recently gotten into anthuriums but orchids will always have my heart.
Hi Alice, Pau here! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so happy our plants make you happy 🥹🥹 i just know you’re going to grow them all so well!!!
Such a pleasure to see you go into orchid, i fall for it 4 months ago and oh boy with anthurium its a mess ahah ! Basic thing if you want your phalaenopsis schileriana to thrive, it's an epiphyte plante, so no soil, no never, a simple mix of bark and moss is enough, be sure to pressure the orchid nice inside the pot, you need to be able to grab the orchid + the pot without everything crashing down after the repot. If you want some bloom, youll need the temperature to vary at least from 2 celcius between day and night, grow light help a lot creating this transition in temperature don't hesistate to use them on phalaenopsis. Schilerian also work super well monted on cork inside a cabinet, but you'll see in time. Can't wait for you to fall for all of them, if you like phalaenopsis don't hesistate to check : Philippinensis, Stuartiana, Sanderiana, Bronze maiden, bellinea, violacea, tetrapsis ... avoid the one from China for now they're cold growing one and lose their leaf (it's the only root and bloom phal you were talking about)
And please when you watter a monopodial orchid like a phalenopsis do not water the crown (the part in the middle where the new leaf come out) because water is not suppose to sit here i mother nature since orchid like phal are growing upside down so water is naturally put out, since here it still straight if water sit in the crown your phal while caught crown rot and die, if you wee water inside the crown poor it out with a tissue paper. Best !
congrats on getting the P. schilleriana! I love the rose fragrance on them About Huperzias, the reason they’re so hard is because they can only grow from two meristems, the base of the plant (which is tiny) or the tips of the growing branches. They’re really picky about their moisture level and tend to want to grow drier than my Anthuriums. Once you rot out or dry up the tiny base, your only option is to get the tips of the branches and lay them down onto moss to make new plants which can take 6+ months, they physically can’t create new tissues from the side of their stems unless part of it comes from the base of the plant.
Ok so I started with orchids and you and Sherman “forced” me into hoyas and anthurium.. I have all my phals in full bloom at the moment and I’m just getting ready to chop the flowers because now is the time for leaves and roots.. Miss Orchid Girl has been a HUGE help with my ability to grow and bloom my orchids..
Oh!! I think I have your table solution! Look up puzzle tables. They actually made to be put on a table so they have short legs. They also have drawers on the sides that are flat but you could likely put your potting mat in there and maybe some tools. They also have an edge on them so if you do tilt them up the soil and substrate would not fall off!! .. I'm actually looking for one myself. I did the same thing with my great white jar and I keep refilling it. Also I taped the top so only about half the holes are open because it comes out so fast😅.
PLANT MAIL!!!! By the way, I love how you have been sharing more food/beverage/hospitality things with recipes and talking about your thoughts / things you have learned etc. Not specific to this video, I just haven't been commenting as much coz I've been a bit busy at work, but I still watch and love all your videos!!! When you shared about finding pleasure in life that inspired me to do the same, find pleasure in its throughout the day.
LOL, Falling down the orchid hole is just like the anthurium hole LOL. I have over 100 lol. Just be careful orchid roots are different. They need lots of air, no soil!!!! That suffocates their roots. And Phals don't like wet feet. For Phals when watering you cannot get water down in their stem, that will cause stem rot. Just water the bark. Have fun and in the fall offer a cool down to your orchid at night and it will start growing it flower spike for the spring. It's like watching babies grow. So exciting!
There are a lot of cute mini orchids that don't take a lot of space and are easy to grow. I personally like Dendrobium cuthbertsonii hybrids and Tolumnias. I'm happy you're getting into orchids !!
Alice, I 10000% recommend you to look up MissOrchidGirl's videos... she is just a great watch and has a lot of information for beginners... I'm also getting into orchids and my tip for you is to first look into what species are suitable for your temperatures bc that is the determining factor as to whether or not you can have certain species like masdevallia, Dendrobium Nobiles, Cattleya, Brassavolas, etc... my personal favorites that I can grow in my environment are brassavolas, Ryncholaelias and their hybrids and my Nr 1 wishlist orchid is the Myrmecatavola Frances Fox 🤩🤩 look it up, it genuinely looks like a magical, mythical fire Lilly 🤩🤩🤩
Twinsiesssss we both have Wu 5 selfs!!! Excited to see how yours grows. That Carla District X BWxM cross from Brendan is also 🔥🔥🔥. What a dang good haul girl!
We definitely get in the upper 80-90% humidity here in Houston. We're in zone 9 so it's pretty close to Florida climate here. It's just usually hotter here in Texas
My local and fave plant nursery had some black widow/Michelle seeds so I bought some and they are green and plump. Got one for myself and one for my daughter. I also purchased a cebu blue aurea, an Epipremnum variegated mutant and some El Chico seedlings (they are soooo cute!) I’m super excited about my Anthurium though. Love your new orchid…I only have 5 in my collection…my mini orchid finally bloomed for me! My suggestion for or bids is to fertilize at every watering. Water weakly weekly.
I only got my orchid to bloom after putting it closer to a poorly insulated window during winter. I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure they need the temps to drop a bit to trigger blooms.
I also have a Anthurium ( Papillilaminum X ) x Black Sensation I love watching you and I also get plants to add to my collection. Some harder to get because I’m in Australia but I’ll still keep them on my list for when I can find one.
I have that Carla as well and mine is so tiny as well. I am so nervous. Yes that’s Rory mix that it’s in. I took mine out and put it in tree fern because I am so scared of that mix.
Cute plants!! I have four anthurium coming plus a Monstera Deliciosa mint coming ❤❤. Also my orchids are in Leca (if I get this one, I won’t have the reservoir full all the time)
Hi Alice! Great video! I didn’t find out about Wuhoo Tropicals until I started watching your videos. They’re the best! I was just on Palmstreet last night on their live and I ordered the same Huperzia you got! I’m nervous as well haha. I was thinking semi-hydro may be the way to go since they never want to dry out. What do you think?
Hi Alice, I love watching your UA-cam videos. I have a question on the white shark and the amount that you put in there is isn't that more than it recommends? Can you help me with that? Cuz maybe I'm not using enough??
Don’t do it. I started with 1 orchid 7 months ago and now have over 15. I don’t even know how many I have right now. And somehow I bought 6 more of them over the last month, mostly Cattleya’s.
It's a shame none of the "black widows" on that live sale actually looked like black widows. And yet people paid over $800 for those plants. I predict a loooot of buyers remorse. Just buying into a name that's hyped smh

@@thomaspl8431 Thank you! Watching her pot up that phal was giving me such anxiety. 😬😬😬

Beautiful orchid. Love the speckled leaves.
I want to climb out of a dumpster and look the way you do! 😁You look beautiful with your wavy hair 😍
Yep yep! Wuhoo is the best! Pau is literally the BEST!
No you🥹

I love repotting plants while listening to your videos!

The guru of orchids on youtube is miss orchid girl

Wow, that king of spades is amazing!!

Palm story is great to purchase some awesome plants!
AGREED
I started with a schilleriana from wuhoo and now have like 10 orchids. It spiraled real quick.
I only got my orchid to bloom after putting it closer to a poorly insulated window during winter. I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure they need the temps to drop a bit to trigger blooms.
I also have a Anthurium ( Papillilaminum X ) x Black Sensation
I love watching you and I also get plants to add to my collection. Some harder to get because I’m in Australia but I’ll still keep them on my list for when I can find one.
I have that Carla as well and mine is so tiny as well. I am so nervous. Yes that’s Rory mix that it’s in. I took mine out and put it in tree fern because I am so scared of that mix.
I’m watching this while harvesting seeds 😊
For the phal orchid give it warm days cool nights , they are also scented
How do you keep it cool at might when kept indoors?
I love the huperzia.
omg so exciting!!!
Cute plants!! I have four anthurium coming plus a Monstera Deliciosa mint coming ❤❤.
Also my orchids are in Leca (if I get this one, I won’t have the reservoir full all the time)
So am I Alice! I am obsessed with birds. I just wish they didn’t poop everywhere or I would have a bunch of them ❤❤
The hurperzia likes humidity, I have mine hanging over a bowl of water next to the kitchen sink
Have you ever tried using the Wise app to import plants from Thailand? Thanks!
Hi Alice! Great video! I didn’t find out about Wuhoo Tropicals until I started watching your videos. They’re the best! I was just on Palmstreet last night on their live and I ordered the same Huperzia you got! I’m nervous as well haha. I was thinking semi-hydro may be the way to go since they never want to dry out. What do you think?
Good vid & lovely plants!
My sister still post like that to Facebook. “Checking in”
As always such good content. One question, how much TPS one per gallon of water is good for anthurium?
Hi Alice, I love watching your UA-cam videos. I have a question on the white shark and the amount that you put in there is isn't that more than it recommends? Can you help me with that? Cuz maybe I'm not using enough??
“A diseased tongue but in a really pretty way” ☠️
Love the video! So random but I’m always looking for plain tees like you’re wearing in the intro. Do you remember where it’s from?
Het Alice, How do you find the US holding facilities you mentioned?
❤❤❤❤❤
I have a Wu 5 x self too! The mama is so fiiiiine 🥹🤞♥️
Don’t do it. I started with 1 orchid 7 months ago and now have over 15. I don’t even know how many I have right now. And somehow I bought 6 more of them over the last month, mostly Cattleya’s.
Don't let water sit in the crown. Use corner of paper towel to absorb any water in the crown. Good growing 😊
ok WHAT is boat mode?? 😭😭😭
Japanese tea table or Moroccan. They both have low tables.
Great White is so expensive and she tossed most of it by not stirring up the cup.
first
Whoahoahahahaha!
Is Archie here yet 🥹
Ok im here early as hell miss alive
Good morniiiiiing! ❤️
haiii, i live for your anthurium videos! thanks for all your thoughts on everything you discus, throughout your videos!
🌹🌹❤️❤️🦘🐨
No you look beautiful
It's a shame none of the "black widows" on that live sale actually looked like black widows. And yet people paid over $800 for those plants. I predict a loooot of buyers remorse. Just buying into a name that's hyped smh
Too much talking in this video 😭
Go away
Are you dumb?
No! i dont need more obsessions! haha *closes eyes to orchids* 🫣👀
I learned from Missorchidgirl on UA-cam.
I blame Alice for this video with me purchasing the RC Wu4 😭😅.. I’ve been wanting a RC for long and finally got one.. 😅@youdontevengrowhere
❤❤❤
