World’s most niche houseplant? A beginner's guide to neofinetia falcata orchid care and culture

Hey guys, thought I'd try something new this time and do a bit of a deep dive on one of my favorite plants right now-my neofinetia (now vanda) falcata.
This plant has been cultivated for over 300 years and I love every little thing about it, from the leaves, to the flowers, to the roots! It's really something special. I hope you enjoy this video and decide to pick up one of your own (my plants were only $30 and $15).

I refuse to believe you only have a couple thousand subs. It should be a couple million. Keep up the great work!!!❤

I’m fortunate enough to live very close to OrchidWeb’s greenhouse and love walking around their shop and smelling all the orchids. Finally caved in and got a Neofinetia falcata from them and can’t wait for it to bloom. The owner of OrchidWeb was very helpful on making sure I understand their care and your video highlighted a lot of the same care tips he did but I’m a visual person so your video was very helpful. Loved learning about the history of the orchid.

I'm sure if you made some of those pots or other small orchid pots for your shop people would buy them! It's cool how you combine two of your interests. Nice video :)

Aw thank you! That’s my plan-I’ve got some more pots in the works right now and they’ll be in my shop soon ☺️

How lucky for me to be looking for videos on Neofinetia and come across your channel! I'm over 70 and I just subscribed! 🙂🙃

Aw thank you!! It’s really a rabbit hole of a hobby but they are really nice plants :)

While your video was packed with information, I wasn’t tempted to fast forward even once. Thank you for introducing me to this niche plant! And I totally agree with the commenter who said you should sell these pots in your shop.

Thank you so much! I only had two in this video but now I have maybe ten... it's a slippery slope hahaha. There are a few of these pots in my online shop now, actually! : )

They are so cute! Would love an update when they bloom. I wonder if i can grow them in an area that doesn't have that much light (not much light at all). 💛

@studiotomby 3 ай бұрын

Thank you!! I’ll definitely post an update when they bloom. You might need to supplement with a grow light if there isn’t much light!

Hi i was wondering if you have a video on how you made this i saw that you mentioned a mesh pot is that in the middle and moss around it thanks

@WanderingBobAK 2 ай бұрын

Did I miss it? Don't recall you ever mentioning Kokedama? That is how they are grown in Asia. Kinda what you do ... but may help people research growing Kokedama. Great vid.

Hi! Thanks for watching ☺️ This growing method is actually not considered kokedama-because this is a hollow mound rather than a ball. In Japanese this is either simply called koke (moss) or mizukoke (sphagnum). Kokedama is a growing method better suited for terrestrial plants that I hope to make another video on in the future! 😊
