Yesterday, I went to the Sarasota Orchid Society Orchid Show and I was so excited to see “Krull Smith” whom I discovered through your videos. It told them that and bought a lovely Cattleya from them. Can’t wait to see them again next month at the Venice Orchid Society Orchid Show🤗
Im so happy you shopped at Krull Smith 💕💕 they are the best. Im sure the cattleya you bought is gorgeous. Thank you for letting me know this makes me smile 😊
Вітання з України! У Вас умови- мрія орхоманів😍 Це ж треба 50 градусів, а моя зараз надумала квітнути при 16😊 Які вони круті🥰 Краса! Коріння і розміри❤
What a beautiful video in paradise! I'd love to have such a collection in a beautiful garden like yours.. but living in Canada, I have to grow my vandas in a south facing window all year long with two humidifiers running 24-7! Not always a 'piece of cake' to keep these plants thriving here, but still possible. 😉 With love and good care, we can do magic!
You are so smart to say as you did in the beginning of the video ...take what works basically. Its so true, isn't it. But I've never heard it said! I live in Clearwater. I'm hoping I have as much success on the west coast as you do in Miami! Thanks for the information!
Another awesome video. Very informative & you made me realize I had to move 3 vanda’s from the south side to the east side. Maybe that’s why they have not bloomed. Thank you.
Hi Blanca, Love your video about vanda care ,so much good information . I am a beginner in orchids growing and I find your videos so helpful. I live outside Clearwater and we are also get BeautifulFlorida weather😀 every Monday I dedicate to my orchids ,today is fertilize day lol. Thanks again ,keep taking 😊😊
Blanca, have you ever tried worm castings on your orchids? I am starting to add it every two weeks on my orchids and other plants. We'll see how it goes.
first time in your channel. thanks for the tips. im inheriting my moms vandas and i know zit about taking care of them. i just hope they dont die on me
Thanks for your guidance, as always. I’m learning so much from you and my orchids are doing great! Except for one vanda that has rusty colored areas on the leaves. I’m not sure if that’s “normal” or a fungus? It spiked and is now blooming.
My pleasure!!! Could be fungus or sunburn. Fungus will often have some type of texture and will be on both sides. Physan 20 works amazing for fungus. Good luck and Yayyyy you have flowers!!
💚 So loving these "vanda care" videos! I grow inside in Sunny 😎 Arizona and mine haven't ever bloomed in my care. They're healthy and from Mote's too! All New Growth but.......no spikes/blooms! Considering using your fertilizer recipe 🤔 Lots of humidity and light in my plant room too! 🤔 Any suggestions? 🤔
Hiiii! Yayyy Im so happy you liked the video. It sounds like they are getting what they need. Water and humidity. As long you see the roots nice and healthy and plant is growing it’s on its way to bloom. If you got them small they may need to mature a little more. Definitely hit them with a good fertilizer every week. Try a bloom booster once a month. Substitute the fertilizer 1 time with bloom booster. Be patient and they will come. Keep me posted 😊💕💕💚
I live in southern Florida also and was wondering if you have trouble with ants destroying your vanda spikes? I am constantly knocking the ants and flying insects off of my vanda spikes and buds. If my spikes are lucky enough to flower, the flower is dark and misshaped and does not last long. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Oh no!!!! Fortunately I don’t have bugs disturbing my orchid blooms. They do get thrips often which are microscopic bugs that suck the life out of flower spikes and destroy them and if the flower happens to bloom it’s brown and ugly. You might be having an issue with thrips. Ants won’t damage flower spikes like that. I use and recommended a strong insecticide that’s called orthene. It is extremely toxic and strong but works really well. If you decide to use it please wear protective gear especially gloves and long sleeves. Also a mask. I recommend that because it works great but there are other products not as strong in the market I just don’t know how good they will work. Good luck with the pesky bugs. They are such a pain.
Wow, that’s a very impressive collection. I’m in Ft Lauderdale and have a growing collection myself. Check out RR orchids in WPB, it blows RF outta the water!
I am beginning to develop a passion for vandas now. I am a proud owner of 3 plants.
How nice to have a designated space. It looks like a retreat. I’m glad you have that space.
💕💕 thank you

Hello from Sarasota Florida! I feel so fortunate to live in an area that orchids seem to love. There’s also a few lovely orchid nurseries nearby.
Luckyyyyyyy!!! We are lucky to be able to grow our orchids outdoors 💕💕 they really do love it
Another awesome video. Very informative & you made me realize I had to move 3 vanda’s from the south side to the east side. Maybe that’s why they have not bloomed. Thank you.
💕💕💕 happy to help! Hopefully everyone is feeling better over there 🙏🏻

@@blancasorchidgarden Thank you for info, I might have to try that.
Also could try diatomacious earth powder as a deterent.
i dont water mines in central Fl and they are doing well
Rainy season?
