Inspiring ! Thank you for sharing 🥰

I hope all of your orchids are growing and healthy. I hope you have help taking care of 400 orchids. I hate when people have so many of anything, especially living things that they can't take care of them. No roots rotting in pots! It's up there with too many cats. Your orchids are beautiful. Just don't neglect them because you are overwhelmed. 😊

@@remaeburney832 luckily I own my own established business and my employees take care of the day to day stuff. I have lots of free time!

Your space is awesome. The size alone reminds me of a private collector’s nursery. You do reside in a good environment for orchid’s.. Luv your property as well. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to more vids!

Thank you so much!

I love your attitude!

Nice collection!

Fabulous growing area! Here in Australia I have a shade house covered in shadecloth which provides filtered sunlight. I hang all my Dendrobiums because they are huge & get too heavy. Especially when they have flower spikes. We use preventative fungicide spray once a month to prevent too much fungus.

A number(400) is just that, a Number, you have plenty of room and IF you can keep up the care, No problem!!! Your in Florida you don't have to move them indoors for 6 months, just enjoy your collect!

Wow! I love your space! You are so correct, phalaenopses aren’t that easy to grow.

Thanks! Phalaenopses are like the divas of the plant world, but we love them anyway!

Hi, I grow my orchids mainly indoors year-round because I live in Kentucky and our winters are way too cold for them. I do have four vandas that I hang under trees outside during the summer. I agree that Phalaenopses are not easy to grow and bloom. I also agree that cattleyas are extremely tricky to grow. I've killed about 10 of them probably from overwatering. I've never been able to rebloom a cattleya despite trying for the past 5 years. However, I still try to grow them. I have better success with dendrobiums. I might try and grow a cattleya mounted to see if I cannot kill it LOL. Your collection is super! Happy growing, James

Loved the tour of your wonderful collection and grow space! ❤ And I hope to see more tours and videos - especially would love to learn your secrets for such healthy dendrobiums. And vandas too. Put your potted catts in lava rock - once I shifted away from bark to lava rock I stopped rotting the roots! (Just saw you have a short about that ❤)

Cool!

I think you might be having trouble with phals because they are growing outside in the florida heat. If you look for some of the "novelty" hybrids and species (subgenus polychilos), they love heat and would probably do great outside during the summer.

I grow inside on the other side of the world and my grow room is hot and very humid and the Phals do amazing 😁

I am very new to orchids and I can certainly say phals are not hardest. They’re what people call beginners orchids. They are really not supposed to die after first bloom. I think some how you are neglecting them.

Very nice setup. Very nice

LOL phals are the easiest.. thats the first time Ive heard anyone say they are the hardest. Maybe look into summer blooming phals, those are more interesting

Agree to disagree w you . Just like some people say who grow them very well, phals are the most misunderstood orchids. That’s why ppl are killing them so easy. Especially if you grow them outside.

I am in Naples, I've found that my phals always get diseases when in pots. They rot, or they get fungal issues really easily. But they thrive when mounted, and are a lot more resistant to pests AND disease.
