Orchid Collection Update - May 2024 | RARE Restrepia, Bulbophyllum, Masdevallia, & Laelia Blooms!
Ғылым және технология
This May, all the weird and wild #orchids bloomed in the grow tent. I was very excited to have a great blooming cycle for my #Restrepia royi, which produced 6 flowers on its first bloom. Additionally, I am thrilled to feature a few other rare miniature orchids including #Pleurothallis praecipua, Pleurothallis mystax, #Masdevallia tuerckheimii, and #Laelia kettiana.
I also have the opportunity to highlight a few reliable bloomers such as #Phragmipedium Wanaukee Sunset, #Paphiopedilum liemianum, and Paphiopedilum Olivia 'Solos Springtime'. I also highlight a few NEW #Cattleya hybrids I picked up on my recent trip to Central Florida!
Enjoy the collection update and let me know in the comments your favorite plant from this month!

Thank you, Vicky and Sergio!
9:18 My favorite in the collection. ☺️ The closeups are a good edition to the videos. Never thought 87% humidity could be achieved indoors without a greenhouse until I learned about how you have the grow tents. 13:24 That's a great size to start with for a schilleriana. I heard that phals don't do well in terrariums due to the high humidity.

I’m glad you like the close ups of the flowers, Joe! Folks seem favorable so I think I’ll keep doing it! :) I love the liemianum too! One of my favorite paphs in the collection! The schilleriana was a great size! I picked it up from Ritter Orchids! Another fantastic grower in Florida!
I really like the one you called "Romeo" its gorgeous ☺

Glad you like it!!
Love the blooms. Love the Phrag and Paphs too. The Phrag has a long bloom time! Bryan do you feed your Paphs and Phrags all year or do u Take a break? I feed mine at half strength but not sure about taking a break 😊

Thank you so much, Karen! I have a couple phrags and I feed them consistently with the same balanced fertilizer (20-20-20) throughout the entire year. I have started dabbling with Waldor’s slow release fertilizer pellets on one of my phrags and all my Cattleyas and they work well for me! I’m thinking about doing a little video about feeding soon just to talk through my feeding routine! :)

@@karengeorge5959 that’s awesome! You’ll have to let me know how it goes! My fertilizing routine is super basic but the plants seem happy so I’ll do a short video and share!
Very nice blooms! Is the Pleurothallis praecipua fragrant? (I am asking because my Pleurothallis scoparum is from the same subgenus, has similar looking/colored flowers and does smell like roses.)

Mine isn’t fragrant unfortunately but I wish it was! It’s one of my favorite plants in the collection! It is such an aggressive grower but very sensitive to light!
hey Bryan, what do you use for the side meshing that you hang your orchids from? and what kind of trays are you putting the non-hanging plants on? thanks!

Hi there!! You might benefit from my video on creating a grow tent! It has QR codes and links to all the equipment I use in my grow tent! kzread.info/dash/bejne/paihvMtxnqvZkpM.htmlsi=MiDxXku3Wo5vu8mf I bought the mesh on Amazon and the trays from Waldor Orchids! The video I linked above can direct you to the exact product! Hope this helped!! :)
