      Ingrid, hi 😍💐 Cousin Itt became a daddy overnight! But, typical... he has babies, and I get to take care of them while he watches and keeps me under control 😂 thank you so very much for watching, lovely lady!! I hope your day was beautiful 🫶🏼❤️🌸

      HI Shirley 😍💐 ooohhhhh!!! IF you decide to do a wreath set up, with whatever orchid even if it is not a maxillaria, would you please please send me pics! It is something I so desperately would love to do for my climate, but I would have a tough time keeping up with watering until cuttings are established. Its not as if I cannot do it, just feel that it would be a difficult one to pull of for some time. So.... 😬 keep me in mind if you follow through with it! 😍😍 thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I sooo appreciate you 🫶🏼 have a beautiful day ❤️🌸

  • @FernandaNascimentoOrchids

    🦒🙋‍♀🙌💖 I have to say that I like the way you potted the Maxilaria tenuifolia. It's like a mount in a pot, a sort of a combo that will correct her climbing habit. Cousin Itt has had quite a rejuvenating hair cut. Doesn't itt look awesome 😃 Alrighty, he says, now I have the space to grow some more 😅😍😘😘

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Před rokem +5

      FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🥰💐 good morning, meine liebe Freundin! At least I hope that you are having a good morning!! Feels a bit chilly here today 🙄 my aim is to get the maxillaria to grow a few more roots into the pot along the sheaths seeing as they are touching the media. Also, maybe encourage it to fill out the pot a little more at the base, as opposed to having a top heavy orchid that focuses on upright growth 👍🏼 this should at least get it started, and then we shall see 2024 😬 Cousin Itt... I had this planned for last year, so yes.. I am glad that I got this done and can see what is going on again 😂 he complained that his felt a little chilly last night 'down there'! 😂😂 I told him that vanity comes at a price 😂 thank you so much for watching, amiga mia! I hope that your Monday is already off to a fantastic start!! 🫶🏼❤️🌸

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Před rokem +3

      Hi Blais 😍💐 funky and cool, yes! Being limited to the EU is the only downside of making pieces available... imagine the swaps we could do if only we could ship wherever if the orchids come from a private collection. Especially if that can be documented over an extended period of time. Such a shame! Thank you so very much for watching, Blais! I hope that you are having a great week already 🫶🏼❤️🌸

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Před rokem +4

      Hi 😍💐 woohoo!!! maxillaria time! Awesome 👍🏼 if you see some pseudobulbs shrivelling, don't be alarmed, they may do that but it is nothing to be concerned about. They will plump up again when the roots reach the media. Meanwhile, keeping the bracts on the upper bulbs misted and humidity high, there usually is not shrivelling. Great news! keep me posted 👍🏼

      Hola Director!! 😍💐 thank you so much🙏🏼 I was wondering if you can get maxillarias in your area, because growing it like a wreath would be amazing in your climate. I have posted your parishii images on my community post! After many weeks of delay 🙄 I am sorry! But oh, my goodness, what a beautiful bloom and what a show you are going to have next year 😍😍 hope that your Monday is going great, Jose 🫶🏼❤️🌸

    I love that you’re giving some lucky people a little piece of the CousinIT legacy. And you need to seriously stop apologising for all of what you can’t do and understand that everyone knows that in a gift / gift-away, there are always limits and people are usually very understanding of it.

Yes, the apologetic in me... it annoys me as well, and yet I still do it and feel the need to make things clear so that no one contacts me with the assumption that not only is the orchid free, but shipping is included as well.

    Dry climate, 🤔 try a "moss" totem for climbers... 😃 I've used them for some of my mini's but prefer "tree fern" totems. 😊 I'll be interested to see how the "Orchid Ninja" , Nina, method works. 😅 I've also used very small zip ties with some super minis just so as to not break stems or ??? 🤗. May I suggest a nice fur coat for cousin Itt...🧥🧢...he might be a tad chilly!! Hope your day was better, and you're getting your much needed R&R in. Catch ya later Ninadile 🐊....

      🦋🦇🥰 moss totem for climbers, ... *needs to change moss... naaahh!! BUT, your concept gave me an idea IF this does not pan out within 3 years. That is what I am giving this orchid to see if she will fill out a little around the base and get roots into the pot. I can make a totem pole of hob filter material and have that strapped to the bottom of a pot 👍🏼👍🏼 watch this space in the event that my contraption is not as effective as I am thinking it will be. Thank you, Wingman! Inspired! I have a totem idea if I ever were to get a coelogyne that I have been eyeing up, but my brain did not make the jump to doing it with the maxillaria 🙄 d'oohh!!! It was a better day, but even though I got stuff done that I needed to get done, I did not get anything done on the patio, so... I am giving you a rest from me for mañana 😘 can't stop me from wishing you a great day though 😉 thank you so much for watching and have yourself a great rest of today ❤️🫶🏼🌸

      HI 😍💐 I am telling, it sucks to have to limit it! I always feel so bad, also, when I see US based growers giving divisions away, or selling them and I cannot get my hands on those orchids. I know that the reasons are there for a reason, but still!! 😔 meh! Perhaps it is time for a trip 😃 your feedback is encouraging and thank you so very much for watching, WanderingBob! Really appreciate your time and support. Hope the start of your week was nothing short of fabulous 🫶🏼🌸

    Finally got hair cut. 😂 There is nothing wrong with asking for postage, Nina. Could have been another care collab if you wanted. My black variabilis is in bloom now… but only one bloom though… it would need another 3-4 years to bloom like yours.

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Před rokem +4

      Yoshi, hi 😍💐 thank you so much for also watching this video, I so appreciate it! We did a CareCollab for the variabilis a while ago, so I figured that the grooming is not exactly CareCollab material. BUT, if I had known that your black one is in bloom, then I would have organized an update! I just don't have the eyes on everyone's collection to know to coordinate a CareCollab. I need a heads up, I need at least 4 weeks of a heads up to get a CareCollab together, especially when there are many channels involved. So, keep that in mind when you see the orchids I sent you, that are in the database, and you would like me to coordinate a Carecollab. Send me an email with plenty of time to get the flamingos out and back and out again before upload date. 👍🏼 I think Cousin Itt would love to have a patio pal to join him. Why not a black one that he can yap way with? Even if small to start with 😅 🫶🏼

Also, muchas gracias for watching the video and your feedback 🫶🏼 Gotta love the maxillarias! I have 2 tenuifolias, besides Cousin Itt, but both my tenuifolias are a different variety. My OG tenuifolia, not featured in this video is starting to show signs of buds. Very early stages, but woohooo!! Hawaiian Tropic fragrance on the patio soon 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️😅 if you have any questions, or come across something that was not covered in this video when you propagate your's, always ask, no matter which video had aired. 👍🏼 hope your day was fabulous, and once again... welcome 🥰🌸

    I really used to like Fiddle Faddle when I was a kid. As an adult, it just tastes fake and I really don't like it.
    So I don't understand why you had to use the stake at an angle in the pot. Wouldn't it have been possible to attach it to the stake at the desired angle and have the stake upright as normal?
    I can't believe you chopped Cousin Itt. He was really liking his EMO look with the strands hanging down (like Robert Smith of The Cure). I also can't believe I just saw sphagnum moss.🤯🤣😉

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Před rokem +5

      Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! I have no idea what Fiddle Faddle is 😅 we had Goody Goody in Kenya... I like the sound of Fiddle Faddle though. That is a neat and fun name! I placed the stake at an angle because I wanted more of the orchid to be at the level of the media, instead of the end of the rhizome sticking up straight and then having a top heavy orchid for the most part. I am hoping that by it being on the surface of the media like this, that it will grow like my other tenuifolia, in the rectangular pot. I also like the fact that this presentation is more appealing to the eye as opposed to having it stick up straight into the air and just growing upright. 😬 it is true about Cousin Itt. This morning I was told that he was a bit chilly in his nether region and did not appreciate the make over at all. I reassured him that, it is like getting a crew cut, the neck area feels more exposed to the breeze, but it will last only 48 hrs, and then he won't feel it anymore. Besides, I would have been mad at myself if I had snapped off the dangly bits, and not had a plan of action in place. Personally, I am glad that I can see things down there again. It was something I should have and wanted to do last year. Sphagnum moss, yep! Still got a little bit left 😅😅 thank you so much for watching, Michael! Have yourself a fabulous day 🫶🏼❤️🌸

    Hi Nina, Thank you for sharing your tips & tricks once again. By the way, do you still use garlic as insecticide? Is it really effective?

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Před rokem +4

      Hi 😍💐 so good to see you!! Hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 I am still using garlic alcohol as my insecticide, yes! I love it, it works and it has been a game changer for me for the past 2 years. Never looked back. I have to stay on top of the prevention, but the effectiveness of that mixture is fantastic. 👍🏼👍🏼 thank you so much for watching the video, I so appreciate it! p.s.: Pocket lover was in bloom over the winter, I have 4 new growths coming now, and the first set of roots since being potted up, are on their way 🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ she has settled in 🙌🏼🥳

    • @NinjaOrchids
      @NinjaOrchids  Před rokem +5

      here is the link to the garlic recipe video czcams.com/video/wUc41OqWohM/video.html the quantity of garlic for the alcohol is 1 large or 2 medium size cloves for 100ml of alcohol and I only dilute my alcohol down to get it to a 70% concentration because I don't get 70%, only 95%. The 4-5 garlic clove quantity is for the water infused fungicide treatments / prevention, so... just in case how I am replying, I figured it's best to link the video😬 Oh yes! She was fragrant this time around, even though the light levels were low. I carried her outside on every sunny day and kept my nose in the blooms! Lightly lemon scented, so fresh with a hint of sweet to go with it. It made me think of lemon meringue. Tangy, fresh but sweet. LOVE!! Thank you so so much. I am so happy to see her starting a new root system. Especially how well she made it through her first winter with me 🙌🏼🙏🏼
