Dear Howard I'm so glad to have found your channel and in particular this video of yours. I'm crazy in love with pleurothallis pterophora and have been recently gifted by a little keiki generosly sent me as a present from Kopf which has been the only nursery in Europe where I ve found the species, they have been so kind cause the species wasn't in their list for sale. Im in love with the little baby yet but I would love to have cultural advices even if I know you in England are blessed with perfect cool weather meanwhile we in Italy have an incredible hot climate right now. Do you asked the previous owners of your p.pterophora for advices on its culture? I would love my little keiki to get into bloom and thrive ❤️ btw sometimes there are phalaenopsis parishii that are fragrant and has a likely scent of lily of the valley but u nearly have to stick the nose in the flowers to detect it. Thank you for any help you may give me ❤ on the p.pterohora

Добрый день. Было бы интересно посмотреть выпуск полностью посвящённый вашим целогинам. Сколько у вас их, какие они у вас? В чем сидят? Как часто кормите, прям всё всё про них. Заранее спасибо

Your collection is so beautiful and I learn something, every episode that I watch. Thank you! 😊

I watch your channel very carefully for info, as we have a similar growing environment - it's very helpful that you include placement,temp,medium,watering etc when you showcase each orchid! Thanks

Love the moss indicator concept, going to try that, thanks

I’ve read it doesn’t want air movement at all

Oh my goodness! That lepanthes! 😍

I was wondering what do do with my wayward cristatas! I do enjoy your videos. I appreciate that they are always about the orchids . I do have grow room envy though 🤣

Isn’t Angraecum the genus that was named by Indonesian/Malay word for orchid "Anggrek"? This orchid looks like a lily. I was told Orchids were classified in Liliaceae. I watched an old botanist calling it a part of Liliaceae and thought he might missed the memo 😅

Hello Howard I'm not sure if you'll get this I'm barefoot Mike I live in a fun place alamosa Colorado I'm at an altitude of 7,543 I live in a camper so not a lot of space I have seven orchids so far they're doing really good I really like your channel I think I've seen all the episodes looking at your collection do you have quite a few angraecum I have leoins & didierii just wondering if you would do another video on some of your angraecums

I have never seen a tricitella before- WOW! I would love to know more about them, yours seems to be very happy! 😊

You have an amazing orchid collection 😍 Thank you for your channel. I only wish you post more videos!

Super greenhouse

Interesting collection! Thanks for sharing.

Hello Howard. This is infact swaniana x tomentosa. Pure tomentosa has rounder form, more substrance and ochre light yellow flowers and a wider lip. There is also avaliable swaniana x odoardii which is a very insteresting hybrid as well.

Beautiful plants and thank you for the lovely episode! My Schoenorchis scolopendria bloomed for the first time this year and I'm quite pleased :) Greetings from Nepal 🙏 Abu.

I must disagree! Living in the tropics I can't imagine someone calling 15°C "warm"... Lol, just kiddin', I loved your video and I like the tone of your channel! You got a subscription.

When I had only 3 plants to care for, in a small apartment, I used a simple aquaponics fertilization system with them. I just immersed each one in my 50 gallon fish tank, every time I wanted to water them. I had awesome results, specially considering they were inside, growing by the windowsill. BUT it was just three plants which I was sure didn't have any viruses or fungi to pass from one to the other... Now I have more than 200 pots, outside under shade cloth, I wouldn't want to have them sharing the same fertilizer water... I do have the occasional pathogenic fungus attack on a pot or another, and it is hard enough to deal with that without increasing the odds of spreading it around.

I found thrips on my plants a few days ago ans have been using Acetamiprid. It's UK legal and should work fine. I got a sachet of powder to dilute and spray and you can also get a soil drench for it, so that may be something to look into for your thrips. I don't have personal evidence of it as I've only been using it for a few days, though.

Спасибо за ваши видео. 😊

Thanks Howard, as interesting as ever. BTW I have had thrips this year as well, first time in 30 years of growing. Have resorted to a Hotbox Sulphume device, fingers crossed ! 🤞

Do you own Ceratochilus biglandulosus and Neocogniauxia monophylla ?

Hi Howard😌🙌I enjoyed seeing your wonderful orchids😌💞Your lepanthes calodictyon is my favourite🥰I hope you have success in getting rid of the thrips🙏

💚💚💚

I had a thrips infestation last year 😢. It was horrible.

Your videos are always interesting. 👍

Wow! Your dendrobium lawesii looks so neat and pretty like that! I never really wanted a dendrobium but this one and one other makes me want them. Can’t wait to see it in bloom!

What happens with the predatory mites when in the greenhouse long term??

Have you ever watched missorchidgirl? On KZfaq of course. I’m sure you know of her but she had horrible issues with thrips and her cattleya collection as well as other orchids. She has an amazing diy insecticide that is mineral oil based and very easy and not harmful at all. Some plants are sensitive but she will tell you about it. If you ever find you wanna try something else. Here’s the link. And she also battled with spider mites for many years. She doesn’t like chemicals and found out this works great. I love your methods of helpful creatures to do the bidding!

Your lepanthes looks so much better since your last video! Beautiful !

Greetings Howard from Kentucky in the US. Thanks for another great video. I love miniature orchids especially mounted ones. I am considering ordering a Phalaenopsis parishii mount after seeing your plant. I actually have better success with mounted orchids than potted ones. I so enjoy watching your videos. Have a great weekend, James

I always look forward to new episodes and enjoy them immensely. You have the most unique collection. I appreciate the super closeups of the blooms and mounts...they're all interesting and well grown. Thanks for sharing your corner of the world, Howard!

Thank you so much for video 🎉

Thanks so much Howard! You've got such an interesting collection, it's always a pleasure watching your videos.

Thanks for the new episode, I so much am looking forward to seeing them! Ijust set up a small mini orchidarium and my Ph. parishii has opened it´s first bloom. So important for me to hear about your conditions you hold them in. Thanks for the advice of predatory mites as well and best wishes from Germany

Really love your videos, your description and attention to detail is so spot on. I am inspired to mount some of my mini phalaenopsis after seeing yours!

That Podangis is absolutely stunning, the translucent spurs really let you see things in a way you don't normally get to! Is it (night time?) fragrant?

Hello I just purchased this orchid a month ago and just wanted to share it with you (bulbophyllum moniliforme) its a miniature that looks like beads.

From indonesian 🇲🇨🤗🙏

Beautiful display of Pleiones in bloom. A well-informed session on the care of these enchanting little gems by a truly inspirational speaker. Most enjoyable tutoria.😊

Have you ever heard or know anything about Pteroceras Longicalcarcum? I just received this orchid and it’s very very hard to find much out about it, even pictures but from what I’ve seen, I’m very excited about it. However, I would love to know from someone who personally grows it. Please and thankyou, it would help me a lot. I love this video and the glauca is a wonderful orchid. I can’t believe this is your first video. Because it’s very very helpful and genuine. Best regards -L

Have you ever considered supplementing with unnatural lights just for like part of the green house in the winter?? I thought I’d never like that but having the advantages of setting a timer and having so many attractive grow lights these days and of any color variety or warmth of your choosing is really impossible for me to say no to these days. Especially for seedlings or problem plants in recovery. Or just ones that are very finicky in certain seasons. I love the way you grow your orchids and I don’t think you need to change anything. But I’ve heard you mention the winter sulking before, even in reference to some of your favorites(from what I remember) I think the best thing for us growersin this hobby is when we are able to make our plants the most happy. And I find that supplemental light bars or low profile panels. Even the tape lights (in a nice kelvin temperature of course because no one likes that awful purple toned grow light.) Or whatever you prefer.. I find that it really has helped me out a lot.. and even enhances the growth of a lot of my orchids, as well as the color of many of their leaves. Probably simply because I can regulate the light much more than trying to regulate things around the sun, haha. Just something to think about. -L

I just discovered your channel. Really enjoyed your collection

Thank you very much. The packet says it treats 30m of bush but only with about 3 litres. So I just used a watering can and went over the top. Is that enough or should I water each section of the bush?

Thanks for your informative video & your referencing of where the orchids come from and the condition they grow in. Cheers

I live in Miami Florida and already started my orchid collection. New subscriber 🎉

this is the most amazing video i’ve ever stumbled across! your aura is so calming, i could watch you for HOURS!! this video is incredibly informative and i love being able to experience your passion for orchids. thank you for this knowledge & video!!

i have this problem this year, i have a garden full of box and have been successful in tackling the problem... i have been spraying the plants heavily every couple of days with green fairy liquid in water , deep inside the plant and on the outside. i took off a few caterpillars, put them on a plate, sprayed them to see the effect and they died in a few minutes. it cost nothing and has had no effect on the health of the plant.
