Just got one today 🎉 your video is the only one on this species that’s well done 👍 thank you. Was wondering how to go about caring for it. I specially got it for its bamboo appearance.

This one's really pretty. I could see myself growing this. I like it because it looks more "wild". I don't go for the ones that look more "fake", if you know what I mean.

I'd also be interested in a tour of your non-orchid plants, especially the outdoor ones!

Inquiring minds want to know: when will you do a tour of the new house with plants in situ!? *eagerly awaits*

Love it!

Very Beautiful!! Gorgeous color!

Stopped counting! One I even placed in a big glas vase with pebbles around it to keep the air humid. It was love at first sight, at least for me... the grassy look, the delicate wanna-be bulbs, sigh! Along with Masd. ignea I call them my 'annuals'. Maybe I should also try terracotta pots? But therefore I have to visit a garden center and that always turns out very expensive 😁 Hot (30° C) regards!

Perhaps it comes from or was discovered in Hilo Hawaii?

the idea of a "crazy flower" 🤣

Leather money purse, eh? 🤣😂🤣😂

Totally with you on bonsai and variegation. lol To be honest I'm not into orchids either, but I plan to watch all your videos anyway because I love your personality and plants are plants! : )

Thank you Matthew, it is very interesting to learn about different species orchids on your channel particularly those that are endangered in the wild. I loved the petite flowers on this orchid - very delicate and definitely not "moche".

Lovely matt, I have two and I love them ,

So interesting! I wish I had more success with orchids. Maybe this is the one!

Están buenos tus videos pero no te entiendo nada me gustaría que los pasaras al español para entenderte mejor gracias saludos de Méxicoif

Absolutely adorable! 🥰 I might just need one in my collection.

Hi Matthew, thanks for introducing us to this special orchid and providing us with the history.

Very different! Thanks, Matthew.❤🪴🤗👍

Thank you for the update Matthew

Cymbidiums are so incredible, personally I feel nowadays they’re very underrated. That is an incredible specimen and you did a wonderful job resurrecting her! They’re especially not popular anymore here in the States which is a shame because they really are incredible looking, I’m going to have to get one for myself and hopefully have them live long enough for my grandkids to get someday!

Thank you, I learned so much from your video. I bought an, orchid a few months ago from a hard wear store. I've had it for several months. I reported it but now after several more months, the leaves feel rubbery, and hasn't produced an orchid. The top roots look good, but I'm not happy with how it looks. I saw on, utube a process using chopped garlic and water soaking. I don't know if this will save my orchid or not. I hope you can help me before it's to late. Thank you so very much. And I truly appreciate that you are so willing to share your orchid knowledge with us. Thank you, Mary in NC. 😅

This yellow Paph is beautiful! Reminds me on Paph primulinum, but the flowers from primulinum are smaller. But as bright yellow as your “citron”.

Really liked seeing your growing environments. Thank you!!

My mum brought me a Cymbidium from Melbourne. So it came from very cold to Turkey’s summer. And here is so hot😊 I’m afraid if she dies, cause she is very confused 😅

I have one of them what is the best thing to repot them in

It depends on where in the world you live. Not all topics are created equal. 😂 I struggle to keep the humidity high during the day. By switching to coconut fibre pots lining the plastic ones, the humidity inside the pot has increased.

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?

Very nice mine has sent out two spikes in the past one and a half months.

What beautiful flowers on that bifrenaria

💚🧡

Question how often do you water it ? I water mine every 14 days

Thanks, Matthew, great to hear your reasoning!

I love indoor plants ☘️😍

Oh how I love Dendrobiums ❤ that was absolutely fascinating! I also love that you clearly got a buzz out of seeing them growing in all sorts of places-my partner teases me for staring at them and I can imagine you doing the same 😅 what can I say, fascinating! 💖

Lovely 🌸

Hi Matthew. Don't give on Mr Rene Marquise 😅 , i also brought a seedling as well and it finally gave me 2 blooms last year!!!You wouldn't believe how stoked I was!! after 4years of just waiting and waiting....nothing... It was sooooo beautiful 😍 ❤️ It is so hard to find this Orchid, i haven't been able to find another plant. So if you decide to pass it on, i would be happy to give you some $$$ for it or maybe an orchid swap???

Wow 😲

Beautiful ❤️ I'm a plants lovers 🌺🌸

Hi Matthew, I've now caught up with all your videos and have enjoyed them all. It's so nice to see a fellow Australian showing their orchids and their way of growing them. I've been growing, perhaps I should say trying to grow, orchids in Victor Harbor in South Australia for about 5 years I guess, I have about 120 now. In this video I was very happy to see I keep the same types of orchids outside during winter in a similar situation as you, mine are under a west facing verandah. I used to feel guilty not having a better situation for them during the winter. I do have quite a few smaller seedlings now, Cattleya (trying some of the new SVO minis) and my latest passion, Nobile Dens and this year I brought all those in along with anything else I thought could benefit and set them up in the lounge in front of the window. I'm afraid I went full 'Nanny mode' and set up a couple of lights just to try and keep them moving through the winter. The couple of Den Phals and some Cattleya that seem to be struggling are on a pebble tray with a heat mat under. The air temp around the heat mat/pebble tray is about 17C to 20C Like you I don't water too much over winter, probably 3 weeks for those outside depending on what the weather as been like, inside plants are done as needed as they are tiny, but its only ever just a trickle, and only for those that really need it. We have a local Orchid Club with a great turn out every month. Do you go to any orchid clubs?

Hi Roslyn, I live in Brisbane too. I admire your dedication! Small seedlings and sarcs currently come inside at night only, due to space issues. Would you mind sharing the advice you received at your club regarding watering the hard cane dens in our particular Brisbane climate during our currently mild "winter" please? I can't find information specific to our neck of the woods. Thank very much.

Matthew, you describe the sring and fall transitions as gradual where you live, for example moving a cold sensitive orchid outside when temps stop going below such-and-such. But where I live it seems like spring is a time when temps wildly fluctuate between winter and summer temps rather than changing gradually. I don't have any outdoor orchids yet, but wonder if you or anyone else has any suggested species for this weird climate where I live.

I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area which I think is similar to your climate. Oakland, where I live, doesn’t seem to get as hot as Melbourne. I always fret about that to bring in and what to leave outside, but things tend to work out. I honestly can’t believe that you can get orchid seedlings at the hardware store. Here it’s sad phals, and nothing else.

Amazing!!!

I'm in Geelong, my Cymbidiums are outside under cover all year round, late bloomers, four are blooming and four others are in flower spike. My sarc's and Dendrobiums are also outside. Inside are my Phals, three of which are budding, my Miltoniopsis, Cats and Miltonia and one Masda. Looking at your huge collection, you will need a huge truck to load them all when you move house😂

I didn’t see your phaiocalanthe kryptonite ‘parkside’. I do hope it is going well. I only aquired mine a few days ago and have been doing research into their needs. I live in Sydney and I’ve decided in a mix of 50% Peat Moss and 50% mix of fine bark, perlite and charcoal. Fingers crossed.
