Video

Hi, thanks for the guide! I just got my first neofinetia. I know that it is not the pure breed like you have in the video. I wonder if you have neofinetia hybrid?

Trac if I go to Japan i think customs will have issue with how many pots im taking back to california lol

interesting. Ive always wonderd the orchids in dental offices that have no windows.. can they actually live off of regular fluorescent lights?

Hi Trac! It's been a while. Life has been happening and been out of touch. I kinda sort of back and going through loads of videos, I've missed. Your collection still looks great and your grow area, oh wow! ! I've let my own babies uncared for a while. But, I am asking for their forgiveness and trying to work by back into their graces.

Amazing

why do u need to re moss, the moss looked like it was in great shape still?

Great time-lapse photography, such a cool little 🌵it's flower is so unique in bloom.

I love the layout of the plants in front of the window, especially those shelves - looks great!

hey trac good to see an update. What happened to your neofinetia's? I'm really suprised you are suffering from scale. Your bleach bath method has helped me out so much in that regard to erradicate all bugs on my orchids. Really appreciate you sharing that with us. Others fiddle around with home-made garlic tinctures which never worked in my experience but your bleach bath dunks have saved so many of my orchids. For thrips I would have to repeat the treatments a few times in a 10 day interval at a lower concentration but again nothing else works as well. And hardly anyone uses that method which surprises me. It's my go to for any new orchid now and its great for keeping algae in check too (or cyanobacteria if you want to sound fancy 😄).

I’ve missed your content!

I am sorry to hear that you lost some! If you would like to have a DIY scale / mealy bug problem solver, consider infusing isopropyl alcohol with garlic and you will be able to keep the scale under control and eventually clear the orchids in question of the problem. I usually do not like to mentioning anything about my channel on other creator's videos, but I have a video with the recipe for the garlic infused alcohol, just in case you are wanting to try something different to get a handle on the scale 🫶🏼 I love your new orchid racks! They are absolutely fantastic.. also with that hanging space for mounts. Very efficient! 😍covert rescue 😅👍🏼you can already take of that catasetinae keiki and pot it up separately, if you want. Those roots are long enough to absorb water and it is leafing out, so ... if you want, it is well advanced to grow independently. What fun 😃 Thank you for this update! Wishing you a great day 🫶🏼

Mr. Badbar moment

What is the substrate you are using called? Thanks!

Nesse sistema quantas vezes por semana se deve regar em clima quente?

Stunning😊

First reeses now mr goodbar

Mr goodbar is literally so good though

I'm jealous of your mesembs. I'd like to get more but I haven't had too much luck with them for some reason

Much enjoyed your thorough update :D

I hope this message isn't taken the wrong way- a lot of your Cattleya aren't really thriving and looking pretty sad. You should be able to boost the health of the overall collection pretty easily though. The solution is to focus on roots! You can easily get more air to the roots by adding in an inorganic component into your bark, lava rock or pumice. The other issues is pot size- you can see that your large Cattleya are much healthier and doing well because the pots are appropriately sized to the root system. A number of your plants are "overpotted"...For all of the smaller plants with weak root systems you should repot to the smallest sized pot possible you can fit the living roots in. You will know that you have achieved the right potting media, container size and watering regime because your leaves should be turgid and even the shriveled back bulbs should perk up once the roots really get established. Hope this helps!

👋🏻 hope you had a great summer 😊 my CG Roebling had 2 blooming cycles,with deformed blooms and has markings on the leaves. I left it outside the past winter, fertilized less during this summer and have 2 perfect blooms again. The strangest thing! The second lead has a bud but it came without a sheath 🤷🏼‍♀️

Congrats on your new home! Your plants are looking pretty good!

Congratulations on your new home Trac. Love to watch your vids and happy to see your newest one. Your backyard is going to look wonderful when you are done.

Congrats on buying your new home. Beautiful orchids 🌸🌺🌼

Glad to see your Neos doing well with great roots . I’m so jealous of those roots. Nice to see you back.

It's great to see you again, Congratulations on your new Home, you have a nice size yard to work with. it is wonderful seeing your Neofinetias again, I always thought you had the nicest collection

Yeah he's back! I love the Neofinetia's

Congratulations on your home purchase!!🎊 🎉

Hi Trac, firstly congratulations on your new house, you got a lovely garden that I'm sure you will grow more plants in it! Secondly, thanks for the update on your orchids and succulents . Your lovely neo collection is doing quite well and I loved the beany ones . The dendrobium variegated is so gorgeous, may be needs more frequent watering. I have d.moniliform which is green and that one shouldn't be let to dry out between watering in summer so I water before it dries completely and she loves it. Thanks for sharing your blooms and update , and happy growing 😊

Hi Trac, love all your videos, and this one as well! Your backyard looks beautiful with all the orchids and other plants growing outside. I only have one Neo (I'm in Germany and they're relatively hard to get your hands on, and quite expensive), it's called Houmeiden and I've had it for at least 5 years at this point. It's started to put out a lot of new growths in the last 1.5 years and is looking really pretty with its variegation and purple root tips. I think I only got it because of one of your older videos about all of your Neos, so thank you! I understand not wanting to give away your divisions, I have 300+ orchids at this point and have given away 4 keikis and one Cattleya division because I really didn't have the space for them at the time, and I only gave them to family members or friends, where I knew the plants would be looked after well. Hope all of your plants will do well and good luck with the garden project!

Great new space for all your orchids and other plants !!! I hope they are not suffering too much with the heat.

I've loved your previous videos! Happy to see another

Thanks for this video. My flower was black. I was fearful that the cactus was dying so I ripped it off. Can you shed some light.

I'm so glad to have seen this. My domino has wierd hairy stuff coming from one on the white dots, maybe a bloom!!

Why so slow, action please.

Beautiful! Just figured out mine has fuzzy gray nubs 😄 Do you know roughly how long it takes to grow from that, to flower form? 😊

I have one ❤

I know I’m a bit late to this video but I’m thinking about buying a Ranchu goldfish off of their website and I’m wondering if I should pay the extra $10 for free two day shipping or the extra $60 for standard shipping

Does Cattleya Walkeriana smell good?

Any updates on water culture? Im planning to transition my sick phal into water culture.

Something chewed on my newly purchased orchid - now I’m scared !!!

a huge bug ❓❓❓😳😳😳

How's your first Neofinetia Falcata doing? It's funny how I was just regretting losing my first one, there's just always something special about the first one you acquired. During that time I knew nothing about them, and it stayed on my desk under a regular desk lamp- hung on for a long time though...

What do you do when the flower wilts down? Does it fall off by itself or do you have to cut it off? When and where do you do the cut?

Beautiful set up and neos. Hope they recover wel! Also, fish need enrichment just like us, plants and hiding spots ✌️Will help them with feeling frustrated and getting aggressive.

What “chemical insectaside “ is best for orchids with scales? What do you use?

Beautiful...unforgettable!

Beautiful shots. What camera are you using?
