  • Time to be honest !! I have had an amazing year ... but my orchids definitely haven't. And for the foreseeable future, there are just more important things that take priority. BUT I do love my orchids, and I get SO MUCH joy from growing them. It's a hobby that I want to share with my children and also of course all of you. So I must find ways to make this achievable. SO no more multiple grow spaces. The orchids survive in the shadehouse or they don't. Repotting is a low priority. Finding how to maintain the orchids and keep them as healthy as possible with the LEAST amount of effort... That is the new goal for 2022!!!
    Just keeping things real... but I think you guys will love my new updates from the shadehouse - the new home of for the orchies :)

    Nice to see your blooms AND your beautiful Maisie - what a doll! Take good care!

    I think the lesson here is you should have invited your mum over more often to watch the baby while you played with the orchids. 😉

    I think your phals still look absolutely fabulous. Might be not be up to their usual performance, but I think you have a pretty darn cute excuse for neglecting them ;). Btw, I'm absolutely in love with the design of your catasetum shelves! I have only one young catasetum (fredclarkeara after dark) and this is going to be its first winter (I am in Germany). I hope I'll be doing everything right.

      I haven’t had much luck with smaller catasetums. They definitely aren’t my strong suit … I’ve found letting go of the ‘rules’ (eg when to water, when you stop ) has helped.

    Babies are so worth it though. And I’m glad your orchids will bounce back.

    That is one of the remarkable thing about orchids... they also thrive on neglect and still reward us with blooms. I am not able to run supplemental light as much this winter, so, I am not expecting as great a bloom count as I had last year, but... blooms are blooms and even if we could do better, sometimes our priorities change.... and yet .. blooms! Beautiful Orchi Dee 🤩🤩 best of both worlds... beautuful baby and blooms to boot!! Have yourself a lovely week ahead ❤ much love ❤🌸

      Right back at you Nina, hope you have a wonderful week! Orchids I find quite intuitive.. if they’ve had a bad year they just don’t try as hard. Save their energy for another year.

    Lovely display.
    5:23 I found the name for my yellow NOID phal now so thank you.
    Had to laugh when I saw your phal table 'fenced off' reminded me of when my kids were small. Maisie has grown so much, such a cutie all smiles.

    Very interesting Dee. I see you use the PET method for your catasetinae. I had some success but this year going back to coco/peat mix in small pots. So far much better growth. Luckily np possums near me here on the Sunny coast.

    My Liu’s Berry looks just like your Bella Donna. And you had a very life changing year …moving house and welcoming your baby girl….so you had priorities in the right order. I am confident that you will have your routines down pat in order to share/care for your family and orchids. Most importantly take care of yourself ❤️

    • @OrchieDee

      Yes! That’s the one.. Phal Liu’s Berry!!

    Hopefully they will take the light in the safe house. I made a mistake early this year… thought Phals would do ok but I didn’t put the shading net early enough. I burnt them… they are alive still but leaves are looking sad.

    • @OrchieDee
      @OrchieDee  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, as summer approaches the sun will definitely get quite harsh, so I'm keeping a close eye..... A little worried about the smaller seedlings out there.. but at the same time, it's really survival of the fittest for my orchids at the moment!!

    What a lovely video! I think your Phals are looking great…I’d be happy if mine were even flowering! Maisie is so gorgeous…she was trying to talk to you. Looking forward to seeing lots more videos especially seeing how the Phals go in the shade house.
    Cheers Dee.
