Hi Matthew, I Came across your channel a month ago and am so HAPPY!😄 as I live in Melbourne and I love Orchids and have a collection I have been thankfully able to move with me to new rentals. I have been binging your videos every weekend to catch up! 🤣 You have given me the courage to explore trying other types of orchids to grow other than cymbidiums and phalaenopsis. I got some young Cattleya's which have buds on them, so fingers crossed!🤣 You really have reduced the stress level regarding orchids! Thank you so much 🥰 Lisa

Good luck with them all and thanks for finding me!

I have three colmanara Masai Red oncidium that I just adore. They are similar to your Bobcat, but have no yellow and a deeper red. Ninja orchid said it was hands down her favorite orchid in her collection. So I was on the hunt to find it. I just love oncidium! Thank you for this repot video

Removing dry sheaths also allows new roots to escape & not grow up quite so much. Very interesting video again. Thank you.

Haha! You would run to grab a discount orchid before lockdown, that's amazing and very relatable!! I bought 6 discount phals for the same reason. Silver lining to lockdowns in Canada: the beginning of my orchid obsession

Hello Matthew and greetings from Finland! I only found you channel a while a go and have been watching your content a lot since then. My growing conditions in Finland are veeeery different from yours, but I have learned so much from you and wanted to say thank you 😀 I just bought my first cymbidium thanks to watching your lovely videos about them - you actually made me feel like I could manage to grow them too. Dreaming about getting an oncidium sotoanum next and yes, that would be influenced by you too. See what you are doing from across the world?? 🤣So there are definite consequences to watching your content, but regardless, I'm looking forward to learning more from you. Absolutely love your channel and your personality, you put a smile on my face. Thank you for that 😃

I live in Montana, my oncidium was bought in Whashington last year . the pot is covered with tiny holes. It really likes how it is potted. Im scared to repot it. but it is out growing its pot

@helloplantlovers

Don't be scared! Just do it when you see the plant is producing new growths. These will have new roots emerging which will establish themselves into the new potting mix. Good luck!

Thanks for all the amazing vids. Also from melb- What’s your favourite nursery in melb?

Thanks for watching! There aren't that many that ever have orchids! Collectors Corner is the best for range, Fitzroy Nursery will occasionally have a good range of Oncidums and sometimes other genera and Poyntons will sometimes have Australian orchids.

Just in time! My Oncidium (Howeara/Leomesezia) Lava Burst just arrived the other day. Problem is I isolated it but the pesky little mice infiltrated the isolation and ngawed off some leaves and new roots and I just saw it this morning! Not a good way to start the morning, but your videos made my morning a little bit better! 😁💕 happy growing!

I just got a bare root wild cat, Bearcats oncidium. I poted with medium bark and charcoal. Is it a vigorous grower? I put it in a 3 inch pot. Do you think I will have to repot it sooner or later?

@helloplantlovers

14 күн бұрын

Hi there - not a particularly vigorous grower - you will have to repot it eventually though as the medium will break down.

HI LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ,? I am moving to South Carolina i think zone 8 i want to put orchid on a pecan tree what do you think what type of orchid with that crazy weather

@helloplantlovers

4 ай бұрын

Hi there - we don't have the same zonal systems in Australia as you do in the US so I have no idea what challenges your climate may present. Best bet would be to find an orchid group in the area, join that and start chatting to other growers and get their suggestions. Good luck!

Hi Matthew, thank you for another very informative video! I always learn a lot. By the way, is the name of the beautiful red flowered Oncidium you showed us at the start of the video a Colmonara "Wild Cat Red Cat"? I would love to acquire one so please advise where you sourced it. I am in Australia.

If you’re repotting an established plant, won’t it already have the desirable microbes living on it and in it?

Hi there - it's just a regular slow release. I don't use much and try to avoid putting directly onto any roots which might be damaged by it. So far no issues!
