Love that you keep an orchid at your abuelas house. I have several at my abuelitas place and she always loved it when they bloomed with the minimal work she had to do
I love your orchid collection! I started with foliage plants, which I still love, but I’m also newly obsessed with orchids. I love having blooms in my home, and I think I’ll manage to have blooms all year long. That’s my hope. Thank you for sharing your beauties!
12:20 - if it is a terminal spike (that comes from the center of a plant, not from any side, as usual), then it means that this plant won't put new growth from the center. Usually, this plant starts to produce baby-plants on its stem.
For the white one with the spike high up on the apex, It is nothing to worry about. If it was above the topmost leaf, it would be terminal. What likely happened is that the spike got trapped under the bract it was growing from, and came out against the apex higher up than usual. BTW, orchids are super addictive. I started with just one or two, and I now have over 70. Don't load up all your space on phals, you will run out of room and not have room for all the catteleyas and oncidums that you are going to want to get.
Treat those spots immediately! Treat it with full strength hydrogen peroxide. Let it dry, then treat with copper fungicide. Don't touch the spots and then touch other orchids. The fungus spreads easily.
Wow!!! What a large and diverse orchid collection you’ve amassed! FYI- I believe we have the same NOID mini Phal with the darker silvery leaves that you have 2 of. It is one of my favorite orchids. When I first got it it was just a flower less orchid rescue and it was touch and go. But then it bloomed and I loved the flower so much. I wasn’t sure I could save it so I went on an id quest in case I needed to get another. The gen consensus (although not positive, of course) is that it is Phal. Tying Shin Smart. Happily she’s now a flourishing mini Phal but I would still get another one for insurance since I love it so much. Thank you for pointing out the fragrance! I never noticed before but if I stick my face in it - I can detect a very slight scent. Sorry for the extremely long and rambling comment. I’m so excited that you’re into orchids!!
Hey, love all orchids, the blooms are lovely. That one with the spike in the middle, thats a terminal spike and yup, unfortunately it means the orchid won't grow any more leaves so essentially its a dud. But sometimes with some good food and care you may get some keikis to grow on! Have a good weekend!
Hello! Here’s some tips that I can recommend for the orchids you have. The phal with that dark spot is most likely from a water drop that was left on the leaf for too long. The tissue died back and a fungus took a hold of that dead tissue. Nothing to worry about at the moment. However, be very careful not to get water into the crown of the orchid because that can be a lot more harmful. Also, congratulations on getting into the world of bulbophyllums. They are one of my favorites. I’ve found they enjoy shallow bonsai dishes. They grow very fast along rambling rhizomes, so be prepared for them to use a lot of space in your grow area. The buckleberry I have has grown from a three inch container to overflowing a twelve inch container in under four years. Happy growing!
Haven't bought one yet but I've been looking at them in the store I really like the leaves of the orchid so I'm getting ready to get into that beautiful 😘
Check out Olympic orchids! I recently had a great experience with them. I ordered 7 orchids, and they all arrived looking immaculate. They are tiny tho so be warned, you will receive babies. The prices were super cheap, shipping was affordable, my only complaint was they didn’t answer my phone calls. I live nearby and wanted to avoid shipping and just drive to them to pick up the orchids but they didn’t answer, and I received them in the mail
I love the orchid vibes! I just got a rhyncattleyanthe young min gold, the flowers fell off in a few days but I’ve been getting more cattleyas because they are so cute, also my phals are blooming and my dendrobium noblie. I also have an oncidium and cattleya skinneri as seedlings
Erica! I love your haircut! Also your orchids are gorgeous 😍 all of them. I may have converted to ochidcism 🤣 honestly though. You're doing a great job 🥲 the blooms speak volume
U should try out terrestrial orchids. I recently got one and idk what the flowers look like but it’s growing a flower spike 😊 idk wat it’s called though
Hi erika, I see you suffering lot.my advice would be changing the place you are currently living.sometimes plans don't do well in certain environment.but if you change they start doing better
Wow beautiful plants 🪴 Thank you for good sharing 😊 Include LIKE 269, I leave 3 presents 🎁 My friend, always Stay connected. Have a nice day 😊 & Welcome to my channel ~~

I don’t think it’s terminal. It looks like it’s coming from the center but it’s really from under that top leaf. There’s hope!
This is literally the video I needed! I just took in a “rescue” orchid from someone who didn’t want it anymore :)
Mine are trash bin rescues.
Pot the duplicates together. They're minis so it will make for a great display
Beautiful blooms thanks for sharing

True that sister!
Ugh that large orchid with many flowers, it's too beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Good for you Erika! You're getting good w/orchids.
Thank you so much for your orchids tour. All absolutely beautiful. Big support.

Beautiful orchids . Love love orchids . I live in the tropics and i have mine in my balcony and outside

You've got a fabulous collection and display them in such a pleasing way! I love the riser stand at around 20:50. Can you share where you bought it?
Update on string of hearts

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing orchids also beautiful❤❤

I love orchid foliage! Not a huge fan of the flowers personally but the leaves and roots are beautiful, I’ll hopefully get one cheap somewhere haha

You are Glowing Erika and your Orchids seem that Healthy Vibrance too xo 🥰🐞🏵🌸🌱🏡🌄🌅🌠🌈🎉💎🎶🕉...
12:30never buy a orchid with a spike in the center.
💚💚
Did you know orchids need calcium? Oyster shells or egg shells were what a speaker at orchid meeting recommended . Just thought I'd share.
