🦤🦅😍 Wingman!! Good morning, amigo mio 🫶🏼 cool huh?? And yes, with the new growths of this season is it game on? Is this even normal for a tuberculata 😆 if it is, I had no idea because the previous growths were fine size wise to bloom.... this though? Makes me think I need a bigger piece of cork and the sooner the better because I do not like that brassavola roots are not the kind to find and attach to a mount without just going aerial at liberty. In my dry climate... but, that is for another day 😅 just going to revel in the moment and not feel pressure to have the 2 new growths that are starting now, to grow the same length (because you know that is the next thought!) 😂 wishing YOU a great Tuesday as well! Thank you so much for being here 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍 Hi Holly 💐 insane, huh?? Where do they think they are growing to? The previous ones were large enough to bloom, what has this orchid got in mind to be growing these long noodles!? 🤪🥊 If I had an idea that a tuberculata was capable of this, then I would have allocated a bigger mount for the roots that are probably going to not want to attach, instead go aerial ....as brassavola roots do, for the most part. I may need to rethink the size of the cork 😂 for now.... happy days! Hope you had a good day, lovely lady! Thank you so much for being here 🫶🏼❤️🌸

HI Suzie Quetie! 😍💐 I am sorry but I do not know what you mean when you say, give us the correct phrase 🫣😬 Stay safe.... how else would I be phrasing that! Please help right back at you 😆🤗❤️

@@NinjaOrchids 😵😵😵 oops! I meant how do I say it to you in Spanish. Edit: it's okay to laugh, I laugh at myself all the time!💕🌞🌵😷

ooohhh!! 🫣😆 ok!! Click 🤪🥊 que te cuidas bien! That is how you say 'stay safe' in Spanish. Some languages need more words than English to say the same thing 😅

Hi Lyn 😍💐 I am going to wish you the same results as well!! Green leaves, still standing up? Sounds very promising six weeks later 🙌🏼🙏🏼 hope your day is going beautifully for you, lovely lady! Thank you for all your support 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍 Deniiiise!! 💐 Welcome Home! 🤗 hope your day was successful and easy peasy lemon squeezy! I am scared of the length of the new growths! I meannnn 🤪🥊 If I had any inkling that this is what a tuberculata was capable of, I would have allocated a bigger piece of cork. Incredible!! Thank you so much for your time 🫶🏼 so happy to see you ❤️🌸

@NinjaOrchids It's a very nice surprise for you to see her true potential 😁🫶

😍Hi 💐 I am soooo surprised! I cannot tell you how this orchid has surprised me 😆 I have had other orchids fail at being rescued, and there was a LOT more to work with than this one had 4 years ago. I am happy though 😅 hope you had a wonderful day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi 😍💐 woohoo!! I am so happy that this short had some inspiration for you 🫶🏼 I call it quits when I see the orchid not responding to rescue efforts over a minimum of 2 years, maximum 3. As long as there is green, I try... but, I also call it on orchids that still have green on them, when I know I am heading into winter, and cannot provide the rescue conditions the orchids need. If they cannot bounce back just a little bit during the months when conditions are conducive, then I know that they will not make it through the winter, no matter if there is still green there. That is when I call it as well. I hate doing it, but I know the limits of what I am able to make happen for rescue orchids. I don't have the temperatures or the light to help rescues through the winter. I hope that answers your question 🫶🏼 thank YOU so much for taking a moment to watch this short and leave a comment. I hope you are having a wonderful day ❤️🌸

Hi 😍💐 I am going to keep my fingers crossed that your brassavola tuberculosis ... sorry, tuberculata 😆 will respond in the same way that this one did for me! I am well pleased but even more so, I am very surprised to see that it had energy from 'nowhere' to do what it is doing now. So, there is hope and this happened in my dry climate, so, you with the fogger sprinkler, it has to respond! It just has to!! 🤞🏼 I am not able to link the video you mention in the description because YT will not allow links in comments of shorts, or the description. They cancelled all links for this format. SO WEIRD and annoying! 😡 no explanation, nothing! Just... links do not work in text format. What I can do, is link a related video. I chose the video that tells in great detail, how brassavola roots grow, when they absorb water and when they end up dumping the older root system because that is the way of this genus. I appreciate you mentioning the brassavola genus review / comparison video. It took me a few years to be able to sort my tags out and differentiate the different orchids, because yes, the blooms are so similar and only until I had all mine bloom and see my pics up close to compare with reputable sources pics on the internet, could I say who is who. It was a fun video to make... but, without roots, no blooms, so I hope that the related video I chose to link, will be of help! Thank YOU so much for taking a moment to watch and leave a comment. Please keep me posted about your tuberculata! I am going to keep my fingers crossed that you will see an amazing revival comeback 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍HI Suzie Quetie 💐 no... 😅 they will dump their roots regardless! It is the way this genus grows. Clearly they think that what they have growing next time around, will be just fine for giving life and vigor to the growths. Its an amazing observation though, because, while a potted brassavola dumps it's roots, we can say it was too much water, BUT, on a mounted brassavola, the roots on the mounts get dumped regardless of wet / dry cycle, so.... drawing a false conclusion because a potted up brassavola lost it's roots, can be a problem for all potted brassavolas. I hope that this video can make it's rounds because I believe it will help anyone that is frustrated, thinking they cannot grow these orchids well in a pot, or even a hybrid with this genus in it. Well, understanding the life cycle of the roots of this genus will give peace of mind... in my opinion 🤗 I have had an 'ish' day! I thought I would get done what needed to be done, but it was a little discomboblulated, so ... I shall try and do better mañana (when in Spain) 🤔🫣😆 thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I hope your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids , do what I do when I feel discombobulated... Take a few minutes to curl up into a ball, in a dark room, and watch somebody rescue a sick orchid. You'll feel better in no time! 😁. Sending lots of love 💕 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵 USA. Take care of yourself and each other 😷

😍Meine Mona 💐 hallo schöne Frau!! 😊 der Waaahhhhnnsinn!! 😆🥳 FREU!!! 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥳 hope your day was beautiful and you are able to enjoy a relaxing evening already 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍 Hi 💐 100% a miracle, yes! Absolutely amazing 🥲 the newest growths have me freaked out 🤣 hope you are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for your support here! I really appreciate it and you 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Suzi Quetie 🥰 you are so right and yet, I wonder why something that looked like it had no chance at all, pulled through, while other orchids I have been working with for the same amount of years, did not make it despite similar methods of rescue attempts. But, you are right.... celebrate the successes to tolerate the defeats 😘

It is so good to see you, lovely lady!! Hi 😍💐 I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 thank YOU so much for your time watching and your kind feedback, I truly appreciate you. Wishing you a beautiful rest of your day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

🌸🥷🏼 Samurai Beautiful Julie San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐 good morning beautiful! I hope that you had a wonderful night's rest and are ready for the last day of work, ready for the weekend 🫶🏼 Thank you so much for your comment! I am so pleased that this orchid did what it did. Considering I had other orchids which had more to work with, fail, this is amazing 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥳 💐<--- for your Friday office pleasure 🫶🏼❤️🌸

HI Joe 😍💐 I didn't have to, but I did, yes! 😬 I have the bloom in a little tumbler with water at my desk. Getting more 'look see' time with her here and the orchid hopefully, will rest and focus on getting the roots to grow properly 🤞🏼 have yourself the most wonderful of days, Joe! Thank you for all the support 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Linda 😍💐 I did not see anything when we cut into the rhizome during the live stream that we had addressing her, getting her into lava rock. The rhizome looked clean to me 🤔 so strange. I am going to go with it is all part of the set back stage and just hope that now, without the bloom, she can focus on that one root tip and there is another root that is trying to branch 🤞🏼I am concerned that this orchid is going to do exactly what your's did, and I am so sorry that after all that time your's did eventually collapse. That is sad, especially the time invested to keep them safe, to get them through 🥺 sometimes, things just happen that we cannot explain or understand. In my opinion, when that happens, it is more frustrating than when we know what went wrong. Still, we keep on growing 😊 Thank you for all the support, Linda! Wishing you a beautiful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids A bloom like yours is definitely worth the effort!

🤞🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼

😍Hi Cheryl 💐 she is pretty... well, maybe I should say, she was pretty because I neglected her badly since February. She had grow so big, broke her pot and with my physical challenges I kept putting her off when it came to repotting. Then she got major sunburn which turned her structures and leaves into oregano... sooo... when I clean out the pot, because I want my leca, I may have lost this orchid just because I did not care for her 🫣 the walk of shame happens daily! Thank you, though, for watching this video 🫶🏼 wishing you a fabulous day ❤️🌸

🦤🦅😍 he had a front row perch 😆 hope you are doing well, Wingman! Have yourself a wonderful day, from the get go and... thank you so very much for being here 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Shirley, hi 😍💐I really hope that your special orchid pulls through and isn't dealing with something serious that cannot be remedied! Will keep my fingers crossed, lovely lady 🙏🏼 thank YOU so much for watching, for your comment, the support and friendship 🫶🏼 wishing you a beautiful day ❤️🌸

Hi! 😍💐 I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 you are right... the bloom says everything so... the fight to get her through whatever she is struggling with will continue 🙏🏼 wishing you a wonderful day! Thank you so much for being here 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Suzi Quetie 😍💐 she does have a scent, but not under these circumstances, however, in the past when she was happily growing with heat mats in the winter, she would have a plastic rose fragrance. Like what you would smell from a fake plastic rose, and then add actual common rose fragrance. It is not the prettiest of fragrances 😬 I did not pop the bud off, because I wanted to see if she would blast the bud on her own, this gives me some idea of how strong she is. All the while watching the pseudobulbs. If they were starting to do yoga and bed from getting used up, I would have taken the bud off. Also, this orchid does not take long to bloom once she has buds. Some orchids can take 2 weeks to open their buds from when we first see them, this one, it is within a week, soooo just wanted to see what she could do. Besides, the bloom was only open for 2 days and then I removed it. 😬 While her blooms may only last 2 weeks, that is too long and not worth the risk. It was nice to see her again, after 2 years of bud blast, and me taking buds off prematurely. I would not recommend such an experiment unless the grower knows their rescue orchids really well and is willing to risk something in order to observe what happens. NOW, that the bloom is gone, I need a root or 2 to grow healthily.... vamos a ver. One black tip is looks to be trying with a new green tip 🤞🏼 hope my novel did not result in mental gymnastics for you 🫣😆 hope you are having a great day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids 🤫 (your short story, not a novel, was much appreciated as these thoughts are what we new orchid growers need. Muchas gracias for spending the time for explaining everything and your kindness, mi Amiga.) 💕🌞🌵😷

🫶🏼 always! 🫶🏼❤️🌸

I have as yet to get the class of 2024 sorted out on to that keiki mount project. Probably will work on that this week. The video has to come together in some way shape and form, so that is where the snag is. I remember you wanted to do something similar, but you also had the move to think of. So, now that you are settled in nicely and have a better understanding of your space, maybe something like this or the upright version with the Hibiki, as you mentioned, could be a little winter project? 🤔 The best outcome for keikis to get established is always when the roots are long enough, like 3 inches and able to take up their own water. That could be any time of year. Spring usually is not the season for keikis. They start and mature during the summer months, and the project would fall between July and September depending on when the keikis are mature enough to be removed and survive. My keiki video is in the works, and I will be covering the harvesting, timing etc details incl. q&a. 🤞🏼 I can get it done for this weekend because, the editing on that one is going to be another doozy 😅😆

@@NinjaOrchids thank you so much! I think that I will try to do it very soon then. I have a number of keikis and just happen to have the supplies to make a horizontal 'moss pole' for them. Thank you as always for so much inspiration!

🫶🏼 always feel free to throw questions at me if you have any while you work on it ❤️

@@NinjaOrchids I sure will, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

HI 😍💐 thank YOU for being here, once again, going above and beyond to help me out, and others that you believe can benefit from this video. Thank you so so much 🙏🏼 the equator is where it is at, but only at sea level 😂. 12 hrs of light, rainy season x2 and nice warm waters to swim in. Heaven 😃 maybe one day he will change his mind and want to be woken up by the sounds of monkeys laughing 😉🤗 hope you are having a beautiful day, lovely lady! Thank you so much for everything you do to support me and the orchids, and thank you so much for watching 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍HI Sandra 💐 we are in it for the long haul and I hope this blackening of the new roots stops! I am just lightly misting the surface of the lava rock to increase humidity... this does not look good, but during the live stream when I cut into the rhizome, it was clean.... or maybe I missed something 🤔 hope you are already having a wonderful day, lovely lady!! Thank you so much for being here 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Hello my good friend! 💐 thank you! Much needed!! The bloom has since 'left the orchid' and I am hoping to focus on the roots now. Que raro, is all I can say 🤞🏼 hope you are having a fabYOUlous day already and thank you so much for your support 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Susan 😍💐 so good to see you here! I hope you are having a beautiful day 🫶🏼 I am surprised that you have had several brands tried and boiled, and not one of them has leca that sinks for the majority of the leca. Now, not all may sink after processing and storing, but that should be far and few in between. So, there are brands of leca that are hydrophobic and usually only used to amend soil for the garden or potted plants, but .... having tried several brands? That seems very strange. So, in order for me to not misunderstand you, I am assuming you are saying that the leca always floats, as in still floating in the storage container while filled with water? Or, does it move in the pot when you flush, as in some leca beads will rise up as you flush or water? Because, if the latter is the case, then that is normal and will happen, but stored leca submerged in water, should not float. May I ask if you have bought your brands in a hydroponic store? Or, could you tell me which brands you bought so that I can search them and see what they are about? I would like to be of as much help as I possibly can because, I had a brand that floated and I was so mad that I had wasted the money 🤦🏼‍♀️ let me know if you can give me more details and if I can be of any help at all to resolve getting the right brand 🫶🏼 ❤️🌸

Hi Agnes 😍💐 ooohhh!! I am going to keep my fingers crossed that you win the bid 🤞🏼 this orchid is doing great after the repot. Not rooted in, it is too soon to have that expectation, but I have all the roots growing into the pot that should, and the new growth in this video is a beautiful almost mature one, at present. I am super pleased with the progress AND that there was no post repot stress. She just kept doing what she did in the older pot and is now looking promising. No sheath though 😆 I think this orchid is going to take a few more years to figure out how much light I can give it, without burning the leaves, in order for it to bloom. BUT, I am glad that she survives and grows, regardless of the severe winters. Just grateful for that 😃 thank you so much for watching this video, lovely lady! Have yourself a fabYOUlous day and... 🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids I will let you know if I get it 🤞🤞this hobby is costing me more than an arm and a leg 🤣🤣🤣 so am being very choosy what I buy. It doesn’t help that the orchids here even the seedlings are so damn expensive 🥲😩😩 me and the rest of the orchid world am sure feel so lucky to have you 🌹💕🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

it is an expensive hobby, yes! I am not even able to afford lights or putting on the heat mats during the winter. So, my collection has to deal with circumstances that are very challenging for the orchids during the winter, and anxiety inducing for me 🫣 I am going to keep my fingers crossed that you get her, at the budget line that fits for you and that she arrives safe sound and healthy. I am blessed to have orchid friends like yourself on my channel ❤️ thank YOU!! 🫶🏼 have a beautiful rest of your day 🌸

🦤🦅😍 Good morning, Wingman!! How wonderful to see you here 😍 as per!! Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face 🫶🏼 wishing you a fabYOUlous day, amigo mio ❤️🌸

😍Hi!! 💐 it is sensational, for sure! Has a waxy sweet fragrance, but it is not that strong. Still, the orchid is super weak as well, so the bloom has since been taken off the orchid and now I am hoping for better root growth. Maybe a hit with the mycorrHydro product? Doing that later today 🤞🏼 thank you so much for being here! I hope your day is already beautiful and setting the pace for the rest of your week 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Wanda! Hi 💐 she is beautiful! I love waxy blooms and this one has a very waxy texture. BUT, alas, the bloom has been removed from the orchid so as to allow for attempts at root growth to be encouraged. I do NOT like the look of what I am seeing and well, perhaps there are more roots in her that may grow better without wasting energy on the bloom. Vamos a ver 🤞🏼 thank you so much for being here and the support! I hope you are already having a wonderful day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍Meine Mona 💐🙌🏼🥳 servus Schöne Frau!! Jambo sana 🫶🏼 I would say that this is a stress bloom and it is possible the same is happening with the orchid you saw. From what you described, that orchid is in need of rescue and the fact that she is blooming is not because she is happy. She is hoping for a pollinator to come and produce seeds so that she can save herself. Well, my bloom has since been detached from the orchid, because there is no way I am letting her 'waste' her energy on the single bloom when the roots are not growing normal. Hapana! 🥲 but, it was great to have the reminder as to what 'we' are fighting for 🤞🏼 thank you so much for being here, so appreciated, amiga mia! Have a wonderful day yourself 🫶🏼❤️🌸

😍🦄🌈🥳 hello beautiful! Keeping fingers crossed that it is just a side effect from set back 🤞🏼 the bloom reminds me to keep trying! Hope your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Deniiisse 😍 hi 💐 a real reality check to keep fighting for this orchid. I have not seen a bloom in 2 years because I have been removing the buds. Well, this bloom is now not attached to the orchid anymore... instead, focussing on what the root system is NOT doing 🥺🫣 hope your day started off beautifully and that you are doing well 🫶🏼 thank you so much for being here ❤️🌸

@NinjaOrchids That's an extremely beautiful orchid. I definitely encourage you to give it your all to try to get her through this rut 👍. I know the feeling when you just want to keep fighting for an orchid. My Dendrobium Sa-nook Purple Happiness (Den Phal) hopped on the struggle bus a year and a half ago, but I want to do everything possible for her. She was my first attempt at a different orchid genus besides the ubiquitous grocery store Phals that got so many of us into this hobby. She had one solid growth last year, and this year, she's pushed out another healthy growth 🥳🎊🎉. So now she has a total of two nice canes, plus one shrivelled cane. She's slowly approaching her stop to hop off the struggle bus if all goes well 🙏🏼. I've branched out into several other genera since then, but she'll always be special ❤️‍🩹

This makes me happpeeeee 🥳 Happiness... it's all in the name you know 😂🥳🥳 well done YOU! ❤️

Thanks, Nina! ☺️ Hehehe. Our orchids definitely pay their rent for all the time that we pour into them by spreading lots and lots of happiness. 🪴🥰😍❤️

😍Hi! 💐 its good to see you! I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 very pleased with this orchid's recovery!! Now that we have gotten her to grow and bounce back like this, can I get her to bloom? 😅 wishing you a great start to the new week 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids hehe...it's a busy week ahead for work.

😍 Hi Tina 💐 I am so sorry to read this! I remember when I was studying in Hamburg, Germany, we would have grey winters, overcast, drizzling rain... while somewhat warm, it was miserable and very often it felt as though we were in perpetual fall throughout the whole summer. The only difference being, fall was cooler. Grey in grey, so I am so sorry that you had that kind of summer 🥺 I will keep my fingers crossed that your growths will pull through and even if they end up maturing smaller than they should be, maybe there is comfort in the fact that they will still produce a root system 🙏🏼 thank you so much for being here and for watching, Tina! I hope your week is off to a great start 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Sir Rick 😍💐 hi! I appreciate you being here, watching and leaving your feedback, which is encouraging and motivating, thank you so much!

Hi 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank you for being here, for watching and your question. I appreciate your time and support. You can absolutely put them in the garage for 4-6 weeks, but please make sure that they still get excellent light. No darkness, or else, if they spike, the spikes will not be able to cope with the light influence once they are back indoors for your to enjoy your blooms, they may frazzle out. If your outdoors do not drop below the temperature range that phals can tolerate, then yes, that would shock them, but if you have the option to have them outside during the night, then take them outside now and let them have the outdoor temperatures to balance day and night out. I have no idea where you are growing your orchids, what your conditions are, so please take this advice and adjust as per your circumstances. Or, let me know a little more and I can hopefully give you better advice. I hope that you had a wonderful weekend and once again, welcome 🫶🏼❤️🌸

🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥳 I am in awe! I hope you had a lovely weekend and are enjoying the 'closing out of your Sunday'! Thank you so much for all you do for me and my orchids! I truly appreciate you 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Andrea 😍💐 it was a doozy the day this happened! I was too focussed on seeing my bird so stressed, I did not realize the mercury was rising to the heights it was because my app did not announce those high temps! I was prepared though when I saw my bird do the same thing again several days later. The app did not indicate such high temps but my bird told me everything I needed to know and well, all orchids were placed into safety. I am so sorry to hear that your vandas had that accident, but wow... isn't it amazing that they come back 'angry' and say 'watch this space' and now you have amazing branching chunky roots coming? The initial shock is the hardest to deal with, but when we see the rebound, I am so so happy that you are experiencing that 👍🏼🤗 thank you so very much for your super kind comment, lovely lady! I appreciate the support in your words and the time you took to be here! Hope you had a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids Oh no, what a stupid app🙄😫. Yes, i had a nice weekend- most of the time i was in my kitchen because since a month i make homemade noodles in all different shapes, also Ravioli and Tortelloni but it's fun. I bake my bread in the mornjng to push the temperatures up in the house for my orchids, because thishousehas a very good isolation, so it's cool. Have a nice evening!😘💐🍀🍀🍀

We can learn Mandarin together... nope, wait, you are too busy, Bixía 😅 I know you do not have the time but I would love to know which shows you have been watching! I am currently watching Miss The Dragon. I love the costumes, the fairy tales, the immortals etc etc, the things that they do... I also was in awe of Till The End Of The Moon and Love Between Fairy and Devil. Put a man into silk robes with long black or white hair, add a little crown and boom!! 😍 don't get me started!! YOU TOOO!!?? 😂 I love it! 🤗 Thank you for the pat on the back about me not shutting the stream down and start another one. Thank you!! I was close to tears 🫣❤️

Massive hug Nina!!!! I so wish I was there live to tell you how much so many of us appreciate you. There are so many unforeseen issues that can occur during livestreaming and you kept calm enough to work through that and carry on 🤗💖. In terms of Cdramas. I've seen all the ones you mentioned and enjoyed them. A few others you might like are Who Rules The World, Love Like The Galaxy, The Untamed. My MSc starts in October but there are some courses I'm working through prior to that. My remaining days of binge watching Cdramas may be short lived indeed.

Thank you for the heads up on what else I can line up in my watch list! I started down this path several months ago and am totally hooked 😆 I think I have The Untamed in my watch later as a full play list but will find the others 👍🏼 have yourself a great start to the new week and...

FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐 good evening, meine liebe Freundin! I appreciate the wisdom from you Granddad! They truly knew how to read the weather, came with a wealth of experience not relying on apps 🫣😆 what I try and achieve by making fertilizer secondary is to get the new growths that are in their early stages to have base structures / cells as strong as possible. Because, orchids will grow well even without fertilizer, but if they don't have enough calcium then even if they will grow well, the cells are weak. So, yes, fertilizer still comes into play, but if I am applying nutrients, I may do 3 of calcium focus and 1 of fertilizer. My purpuratas, in active growth right now, will have to cope with the cold temperatures. While I can still have a high ppm of calcium nutrients, I am taking advantage of the conditions to get that into their system, then I can tip toe with fertilizer. Same with the angraecoids, the renantheras, and all the tender orchids that are in active growth that will have to deal with horrible conditions in the future. I hope that makes sense? For moving into spring, same thing, while the light increases, the orchids react and start growing new growths, possibly relatively fast, too fast and reaching for light. Those growths are weak! They need the baseline of calcium to grow strong, the rest will be easy as the orchids respond to longer days. I wish I could grow under lights and use heat mats again, because I have no counter comparison of what I am saying. The only exception being, that the orchids I am working with now (and in the past) come through the winter and still bloomed. Vamos a ver! Just watch, because I state something with confidence and past years experiences etc. this winter is going to teach me that my orchids are going to struggle. 🥺 I hope not! Thank you so much for watching, amiga mia! I hope you had a beautiful day and wish a cozy rest of your evening 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids Thank you so much 💖💖💖 It is reassuring to know that I am not overdoing. OHHHHH I just felt an earthquake, at 5H11 local time. Did you feel it? Scale Richter 5,3, the epicenter on the portuguese sea, 60 Km away, south of Lisbon. Very scary but no harm, fortunately. It was felt as far south as Gibraltar and Morocoo. No damages but still scary 😮😮 Good news to finish on a happy note: Kimmy has a spike, woohoo!!! Fingers crossed it does not abort like it did last time 😍😍 Happy start to the week to you 😍😍

Earth quake? This morning? Nope... did not feel anything 😬 I thought I felt a weird rumbling around 2am, but thought it was just a truck or something on the highway. It was odd... but it did not coincide with the time you mentioned. I am glad that no substantial damage has been recorded. That is a strong one being so close to the shore. Magma is moving around. With Iceland constantly emptying chambers the pressure releases else where and there is bound to be some give somewhere along the plate boundaries. You kimmy has another spike forming? That is GREAT news!! 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥳 I got nothing on mine... as per 😆 I am going to keep my fingers crossed that you will be able to share blooms soon 🤞🏼 have yourself a wonderful day, vecina favorita 🫶🏼❤️🌸
