Thank you for explaining the details, it’s easy for me as a new orchids grower, I have learned so much from your videos, and I’m looking forward to watch many more videos.
I use the strong stuff Roger. It kills spider mites and eggs on my cacti, and I use it when germinating cacti seeds and when I have orchids that have pests or root rot, and yeah, the stuff for wounds, and I dilute it in a litre of water, about a third is hydrogen peroxide. I know that sounds rough, but you can kiss all the pests "bon voyage". There's no visibal damage from the hydrogen peroxide after, and I don't do a rinse after using it.
I see it too (unfortunately, this spike was cut off and dumped). The plant is due for a treatment with the systemic pesticide so that should sort it out. In the meantime, I've separated the plant from the others (it's not in the growroom).
You are the best. These videos are so thorough and you explain so well that they leave nothing out. I have no questions but thank you for reading my mind and explaining before I need to ask!!
I bought a cattleya that I just found out after I got home that there are short roots and are not well, apparently looks like it had just been replanted a few days before I bought it. I will try your tips and wish me luck. Thank you.
Some are telling than when repot cattleya all old roots will die. Only repot when see new growth. Seems you have different experience... whist are your thoughts? Thanks.
My experience is that old roots tend to die. But when repotting them they are necessary to stabilize the plant, even if they die after a few weeks. However, not all roots will necessarily die, and some will branch out with new root tips. Here I think knowing the species may help. Some Cattleya species will only grow roots at a very specific point in their growth cycle and if you repot at the wrong time then not only will the old roots die but you won't get any new roots for months, sometimes killing the plant. Also, just because a root has been darkened by tannins or has become frayed does not mean the root is dead. I've had new root tips emerge from brown, tatty looking old roots.
Yes and no. I have found that healthy roots are often maintained and can even start to branch and grow again - sometimes not. I would never cut off a healthy root. Older roots do eventually die and are replaced by the new ones. To 'de-risk' things, it's still best to repot when the new roots are growing if you can.
Why didn’t you water it after repotting? I thought I heard you say the roots had a good soak, was that the reason? Great repotting video as always. Thank you for sharing & good luck with it.
Just an expression used to describe a dormant growth bud at the base of the bulb. On the latest growths, these will normally be the next new growth(s). On older canes, they often remain dormant.
Good series, Roger. Can you include something on growing needs for Cattleyas? I've got many cattleya types in my conservatory; they get loads of light, but they just don't bloom. Never had a cattleya bloom. I have no blooming difficulty with Oncidium, tolumnia, Dendrobium, Miltonia , coelogyne, Miltoniopsis - but Cattleyas and their hybrids are defeating me.
Roger's Orchids A care guide would be very welcome and helpful - separate ones, please, for each of the three (phal, oncid and Catt) genera you gave covered so far.
If the thrips could hear you sounding just like Michael Caine, they would flee
Thank you for this video Roger. I just repotted 6 catts and it helped a lot thanks to your easy to follow procedures.
You're welcome.

Thanks for sharing. Can I use the 6% H2O2 instead ?
The carnage of Thrips and eggs could be lurking!!! Happy growing..
I've treated it with my systemic pesticide - now just hoping that's worked. There's no 'external signs' - yet.
Beautiful beautiful work my friend. Great video 😊
Thanks.
Brilliant video, actually watched it with no interruptions 😁
Thanks.
Beautiful orchid
Thanks - long since lost unfortunately.
I think you are right about the thrips or some other wormy thing (had them a lot in my indoor cannabis never in the outside plants)
It's the systemic pesticide for this one!
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Those are the ones I can not get in Holland 😒 Have to got to Belgium or Germany for that
At about 1:16 to 1:19 there is a little black dot on the petal toward the base and then all of a sudden it moves I think your right about the thrips
Andrew’s Orchids oh I think I see it too

You're welcome.
Those pests are called cut worms.
I have never had them on my orchids.
They love my dahlia bulbs
I bought a cattleya that I just found out after I got home that there are short roots and are not well, apparently looks like it had just been replanted a few days before I bought it. I will try your tips and wish me luck. Thank you.
Cattleya types often have good reserves stored in the bulbs to keep them going until a new root system can be grown.
Brilliant!
Great episode. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
Very informative, thank you
You're welcome.
Great video. Thank you. Roger i have a Cattleya with a black line in the middle of the leave. What can I do ? Should I just cut the leave ? Thanks
Just keep an eye on it - if the leaf is still green then it's still functioning. If the black starts to spread then remove it.
Had to unplug my sink twice because of a moss build up 😁
nice repot, that is a lovely cattleya!
Thanks.
Thank you, nice video. Please tell me how do you mix the Peroxide 3%. Thank you again.
I buy H2O2 at 3% - no mixing.
Good job 👏,,, but how come you didn’t add cinnamon on the cuts????? I’m always do it!!! Good luck with her!!! 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰
I did forget this time.
Great video Roger. Where do you get your pots? I searched online for similar pots and I couldn't find them
They were originally got from a garden centre in Ireland. They did not re-stock when they ran out.
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai that's really interesting I live in Ireland! Can you remember the name of the garden centre?
I think it was Johnsons? but Rachel will know as she bought them for me and sent them on.
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai thanks so much Roger. Really a shame they stopped doing them
How do you keep the stems so straight up? Mine spread all over the place. Do you tie them upwards? Are your plants outdoors? I'm in California.
Sometimes, I use a stake but most Cattleya types should hold them selves upright. I don't grow outside in the UK.
Some are telling than when repot cattleya all old roots will die. Only repot when see new growth. Seems you have different experience... whist are your thoughts? Thanks.

Great information. Thank you!
You're welcome.
I think the 3 holes around the rim may be because the pot (pan) is for hanging.
Why didn’t you water it after repotting? I thought I heard you say the roots had a good soak, was that the reason? Great repotting video as always. Thank you for sharing & good luck with it.
It was already fully hydrated.
Tq for sharing this sir
You're welcome.
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
What kind of media do you use?
As shown in the video - bark.
What's the approximate time needed to bloom in cattleya?
From what point?
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Seedling to flowering stage.
That reminds me of a leaf miner it is a Caterpillar
8:40 to 8:50 you did speak about eye, that was not clear sir..
It's the start of a new growth 😁
Hopefully this will be OK... here's a video to explain for you.... ua-cam.com/video/cpIHFk_LJ7Y/v-deo.html

How often you water your cattleya
Those mounted, most days - those in holey clay pots, every 3-4 days.
What was this cross? The flowers are lovely, too bad about the thrips.
No ID.
I'll get myself a bonsai trimmer. 😁
They do the job well.
ok

I'll see what I can do. I was thinking of adding a 'care guide' into all 3 of the series?

Lol ya some people do need to get out a bit
Oh no you removed the flower..goodbye!!!!

You keep saying ; "stuff " throughout your talk without saying what you actually mean . Stuff, stuff, stiuff.....
Very annoying. ,,👎👎👎
Don't watch then.
