Hey Queen Maria!!!❤❤❤ we are missing you a lot in the orchid kingdom 😢 hoping you are doing amazing and please drop another orchid video ❤ we are all waiting for you ✨🫶
I am so sorry to hear...and I am hoping that your rescue mission will be successful. Wishing you the absolute best with your Maxillaria and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Thank you for watching and good luck my friend.
I had a large beautiful one that I was hesitant to divide, and after winter found the same thing. Thank yo uso much for this video! I didn’t know I could individually propagate the bulbs within a group! You are seriously amazing, thank you for your time ❤️
Thank you...I am very happy with how it looks...even better than I imagined it. And thank you for keeping your fingers crossed along with me. I do hope that she recovers with leaps and bounds...I do miss her beautiful fragrant blooms.
Eccentric Nature Thank you...this is something we all face as orchid growers and definately wanted to share my experience in hopes of helping others dealing with this type issues. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
Hi Maria, I bought a tenuifolia at the orchid show here in Merritt Island this past May and it was a little compact but the seller told me not to repot..( don't know why)but it started looking distressed, so I took it out of the pot and I found 2 of the pseudobulbs had started to blacken from the bottom so I took it all apart cut out the bad ones, dipped the rest in the physan solution and repotted in a bigger clay pot.Thanx to your wonderful, informative vid. I might have just saved my new Tenui...Thanx for all you do.
YAAAAAAAAY! I am glad you seen this video in the nick of time! I am so hoping that you are able to save it! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you! Please keep me posted.
Bought one at a orchid nursery you sugested in Kissimmee a year and a half ago and it was growing beautiful. Early last year it froze with our 1 freak day of 26 of 28 in sheltered area. Lost a couple of others and some exotic palms with that one. Have to look for another one and hope yours recovers great. Will
Willo Perez I am sorry to hear that and yes I have lost countless of orchids over the years due to our extreme rainy season or our frosty short winters, but still frosty none the less. I've learned that it is a great investment to either build or purchase some form of structure that can protect them....it will save a whole lot of frustration and money in the long run. Thank you for your well wishing and I am keeping my fingers crossed. :)
Mine grow in a pergola covered by a giant passion vine so i thought should be ok, news said 34 so i thought a ok but went down to 28. Big difference in hardiness.so i got bit. At least i got passion fruit but i lost my beloved orchids. Gotta take the good with the bad
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! ...and yes the cage enhanced the orchid's beauty even more, giving it a unique and very chic look! I am so happy I did it! Wishing you the absolute best in your orchid adventures! :)
Thank you...and I am over the moon happy with the result of the bird cage and yes indeed I will be giving updates on my beloved gal! Thanks for watching and HAPPY HAPPY GROWING! :)
the brown rot is nasty stuff. I think you got lucky with the Maxillaria in that it was already somewhat naturally divided so the infection didn't spread through the whole plant. Spring is here, it should recover well.
Michael McCarthy Yes indeed.. you can say that again!!! I am hoping that I got to it in rough time and that the warmer weather and the added supplement will really work wonders with it. I would be heartbroken if I lost it...I mean after all that we've been through...I need her to survive!
RIGHT! We do have to be in constant battle and inspection mode always keeping one eye open. It's exhausting work...but someones gotta do it...if not us, then who???
Thanks for posting this. I have one Maxilariella tenuifolia that I have had for about a year. It's my only one so I didn't know that the brown stems were not normal. It turns out mine has whatever yours has also. Mine was smallish so I have only a few PBs left :( I hope they will make it.
reptilegrrl Thank you for watching and II am so sorry to hear about your sick maxillaria...I am hoping that you were able to catch the infection in time. Be patient with it as it can take a while for it to bounce back and start creating more psuedo bulbs. I am hoping for a full recovery with it. Keep me posted and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
@@PictureMaria1 thank you! I have only 4 tiny PBs left without infection, so I am not totally optimistic. But you know, I've had my eye on the 4N M. tenuifolias at Norman's :) So this might be a good excuse to use my AOS membership gift card :) There's always a bright side!
My lovely, ready-t-bloom Maxillary tenuifolia was mauled by a squirrel who ate most of the bulbs off of it. I have one bulb left with two green blades sticking out of the top. I am crushed. Can it be saved?
THAT IS AWESOME!!! Congratulations!! The maxillaria tenuifolia has always been one of my most intriguing orchids...always awesome to look at and even more superb to smell.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
THANK YOU! I Do love the birdcages too...they are just such a beautiful and interesting way to display our orchids. I am on a constant hunt for them now as I want to have them hanging everywhere in my garden. Thanks so much for watching and I am glad that you have found it helpful! HAPPY GROWING MY DEAR!!!
Hi everyone, I need help, my maxilaria is dying slowly. It bloomed three months ago but now it’s all dried up and lost two leaves. I’ve had it for a year and a half and it bloomed again under my care. I don’t know what to do, i didn’t change its routine. I looked at the roots and they all seem dead and are squishy
Thank you...I am super thrilled at how they turned out...they almost seemed as though they were made for orchids. I am also hoping that this causes her to really excel and throw off an unusual amount of new growths! That would be awesome! ...and yes it is amazing how the little blooms pack so much fragrant power in their blooms! That is what makes them so spectacular! I know that I had a little bit of an issue with this orchid blooming at first...but when I started giving her vanda type lighting she began to bloom like crazy...so you may want to up the light to see if you can get them to bloom better. It's worth the try, if you aren't already doing it...also I have started using my homemade seaweed and aloe vera water for my garden and orchids and I am getting incredible results...that may be something you can look into as well. I am wishing you a very happy and abundant blooming season! HAPPY GROWING!
@@PictureMaria1 thank you honey dew i have it in a west faceing window right now maybe i may try to put her outside to see if the temp drop at night may also help her with the flowers, i am re
Well I am happy this came out at a perfect time and that you could possibly benefit from it! YAAAAAAAY! Curious to know what happened to your repot? I am hoping that you are able to make the proper adjustments and everything turns out well with your Maxi. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you and your orchid. Thanks for watching and I am wishing you the absolute best in your orchid adventures!
@@PictureMaria1 , well, now have half the plant I had before , now just slightly larger than yours :-) I found a white'fungus' around the base of the bulbs . Spraying with fungicide . Mounts are time consuming . Will try shallow basket and see what happens . Maybe see you in Taiwan next March ? Thanks .
Crut Crut I am currently using all organic homemade fertilizers/supplements but you can use any well balanced fertilizers made for orchids and either fertilize weakly weekly or fertilize about once a month. Whatever method works for you.
@@PictureMaria1 Oh ok thank you for this info. I just bought this MT orchid, only 1 bulb is quite fat. The rest are thin ones showing no black fungus presence though. The seller mounted them on a pot of soil. The earth soil is mixed of anything with porous passage under it. On middays, sunlight passes by for 3 hours or so. Weak fertilizer is also what I have in mind.
That display in the bird cage is precious! I watched the next in the series on this and saw how beautiful it turned out!!! I have a max that's in a 12" basket that I need to repot and I'd love to trim some off and do this but those pretty little cages would rust away here in Atlantic Beach northeast of you. But, gosh! So pretty! I guess I'll just keep mine all one HUGE plant. I should send you a picture of my yellow bird that I'm getting ready to break up. It's in a 5 gallon pot and put out (?) 30 blooms. I know that's not many, but the roots and plants are going crazy. I put it in that huge pot last repot hoping never to have to up-pot it again. She told me she had other intentions!!! Ellen/Atlantic Beach, FL
Thank you and the birdcages do make wonderful and unique display containers. I’ve seen the heavy duty wrought iron bird cages that may help with the rusting away if you need something more durable. And yes brassavola types can get quite massive! I am glad to hear that it is doing so well for you!!! Perhaps you can take a picture and post it to my Instagram @MyOrchidAdventures
Hi! Thank you so much my first max is rotting and I want to save it. I’m also in FL in Daytona Beach . Where do you get these bird cages ? I’m happy to hear yours is recovering so well. Thank you .
Awwwwwww thanks so much for your very kind comment and for joining me on my plant growing adventures! My maxillaria is doing fabulous and are beginning to create their blooms!!! YAAAAAAAY! I am so happy I was able to save it in the nick of time! WHEEEEEEW!
Greetings to you fellow grower and orchid lover! I use a natural, organic supplement that I make out of egg shells. I will be making a video of the different supplements and fertilizers that I use soon. Thanks so much for watching and I am wishing you the absolute best in your orchid adventures!
Hey Queen Maria!!!❤❤❤ we are missing you a lot in the orchid kingdom 😢 hoping you are doing amazing and please drop another orchid video ❤ we are all waiting for you ✨🫶
I live in Kissimmee Florida and I just got my first orchid ever and it happens to be this beautiful and lovely scented Coconut 🥥 Orchid 😍
Just found my Maxillaria tenuifolia damaged by frost and a cold winter and looking a lot like yours looks here ---so pleased to find help --thanks!
I am so sorry to hear...and I am hoping that your rescue mission will be successful. Wishing you the absolute best with your Maxillaria and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Thank you for watching and good luck my friend.
These orchids can’t do anything under 15c you will most likely lose your plant. Since they are warm growing orchids
I had a large beautiful one that I was hesitant to divide, and after winter found the same thing. Thank yo uso much for this video! I didn’t know I could individually propagate the bulbs within a group! You are seriously amazing, thank you for your time ❤️
Such an informative video. Thank you so much!!😊
What a beautiful display! Fingers crossed that beautiful orchid comes back to is former splendor 😊
Thank you...I am very happy with how it looks...even better than I imagined it. And thank you for keeping your fingers crossed along with me. I do hope that she recovers with leaps and bounds...I do miss her beautiful fragrant blooms.
Great detailed video with showing the source of the infection.

@@PictureMaria1 I just one my self cross your fingers for me plus I enjoy your videos thank you
Yeah us outdoor growers have to deal with a lot. Viruses, fungal issues, critters & other predators.
RIGHT! We do have to be in constant battle and inspection mode always keeping one eye open. It's exhausting work...but someones gotta do it...if not us, then who???

Plants and flowers Thank you for watching and joining me on my orchid adventures. I do hope you'll visit again soon! HAPPY GROWING!! :)
I take it the roots aren’t sensitive to getting ripped apart like some houseplants?
You always leave all the sheaths on?

I purchased the maxillaria tenefolia sp. Now addition to psychopsis new species of onc in my collection is tenefolia

Hi Maria, do you think we can rub a little aloe for propagation on the individual bulb? Really nice video
Why of course you can! It won’t hurt, it can only help! HAPPY PROPAGATING!
I had to share, someone gave me oodles of that media 😁
Well I do appreciate it and I can't wait to see how it works for my maxi girl.
Hi! Thank you so much my first max is rotting and I want to save it. I’m also in FL in Daytona Beach . Where do you get these bird cages ? I’m happy to hear yours is recovering so well. Thank you .
Great video, Tnx. I'm new to orchids. You mention Aloe vera water. Do you use fresh aloe or is it a product u buy in store?
Thanks for joining me on my adventures and I use fresh aloe Vera from my garden. I do have videos where I show how I process and use it.
That was really informative, can you put the names of the products you used on it is this the only orchid that can be split?
*you shouldve sprayed some physan mix into the medium or would it have some sort of reaction*
- HONEY Yes you are right I could've done that for added security.
Hi Maria
Love your channel
How is the maxilaria doing now?
Awwwwwww thanks so much for your very kind comment and for joining me on my plant growing adventures! My maxillaria is doing fabulous and are beginning to create their blooms!!! YAAAAAAAY! I am so happy I was able to save it in the nick of time! WHEEEEEEW!
