Looking at your bench contents I think this is the channel for me. I’m hooked on orchids too for the moment.

😂 just for a second I thought you said were trying out co it for growing cannabis instead of as opposed to carnivorous plants which I thought was a daring reveal😂. But this is just what I need for my carnivorous plants.🫡

Wie oft muss man die Blume gießen einmal in der Woche und von unten oder wie bitte eine Antwort

OK, I just found out that the date when I found out is going to bloom again was 22nd of June. I also had the flower by the window where in the morning sun comes. Just recently I started to put it away from the window because the heat went up and it’s still doing great when I got it I think about in April it was blooming and then it was gone, but the leaves stayed green and then in June, I found out that is going to be blooming again. 😂 and inside I have a temperature about 24° Celsius. And I live in Europe in Germany.

My is blooming as crazy 😂. I just found out it is winter flower. When I got it had blooms and went away. And then suddenly started to bloom again. Just going to look my photos how long I have it and will put you link here to my video for you to see. 😅

I grow mine on a shallow pot and let the leaves run along the table freely. When they get way out of hand I cut them.

You're lovely

Thank you!

I have a dendrobium. It has no leaves and only bears Kikis

Love that hanging basket Streptocarpus!! That is the first time I've seen one of those and will be keeping my eyes peeled to purchase one for myself!

What can I use to get rid of grasshoppers that are eating my pitcher plants? I prefer home remedies not chemicals.

.. I love my Begonia Coralina ☺️ I've got my mother plant in my living room, west facing but shaded by the upstairs balcony, and a cutting to root that also decided to bloom in an east facing window.. They are both blooming and growing like weeds.. The mother plant is almost as tall as me (162 cm).. .. There's something about cane Begonias that I just can't resist, and I just love them.. Only I wish that I had more of them..

Good video. Good luck. And thanks for the info.

did it survive in during winter? near sunny window?

Drosera regia o drosophilus cual pega mas fuerte?

For any one who stumbled upon this old video as I did, Coco Coir is a highly versatile and productive medium for growing house plants with one main caveat...it is not soil. Coco Coir has very similar requirements to a hydroponics system and very few similarities to traditional soil and compost mixes. Buy rinsed and buffered Coco Coir or research how to rinse and buffer if not mentioned on the bags before planting anything, then mix with 20% perlite. The aforementioned potting mix should be fed with liquid feed at the specific E.C measurement requirement pertinent to the plant you are growing (circa 1.8 E.C for most house plants) with a circa 20%-30% run off to ensure the end of the run off measures the same E.C that you are pouring into the pot, and residual salt build up from the previous feeding are washed away. Liquid fertilizers are essentially salts and allowing your pots to dry out leaves residual salts that will quickly build up, raise the E.C and kill your plants. I gave a friend of mine a half litre pot of English ivy cuttings in a coco/perlite mix and half a litre of liquid feed almost 2 years ago, he has zero experience of caring for plants. All I told him was to put the plant on a windowsill, how to measure and mix the liquid feed with water and to water the plant with 1 litre once a week (Twice a year I buffer his plant medium with calcium and magnesium, search coco coir cation exchange) and his plant is thriving. It is impossible to overwater a coco coir / perlite potting mix, letting the medium dry out will cumulatively raise the E.C (residual salts) within the medium and quickly kill your plants. My young daughter and I have successfully grew indoors and flowered several tradescantia nanouk's, and cacti on our living room bay windowsill, grew a massive Hedera helix that wraps around the entire perimeter of the bay window and a kentia palm that has grew from circa 3 foot tall to circa 6 foot tall in circa 3 years...all in coco coir / perlite mixes. Outside in our palisade we also grow a variety of vegetables in the same coco coir / perlite mix and liquid feed. We yield circa 2 kg of Cherry Belle Radishes per 70 cm rectangle plastic planter, circa 4kg of potatoes per 60 litre round fabric pot and several stupid big carrots in the same size fabric pots just sat on our concrete palisade. 80% coco coir and 20% perlite rinsing the pots with enough feed and water mix to ensure a circa 20%-30% run off and never letting the pots dry out. My apologies for the long post.

I appreciate your take on the use of fertilizer. I’ve taken care of phalaenopsis orchids for about 6+ years and had about 12 of them. I never used fertilizer and it bloomed at least once a year, many twice a year. Thanks for your input cause I was skeptical on fertilizer as well. Not for all plants but definitely some

Very boring

Beautiful begonias, nice to see that you don't have them in a terrarium. I'm in New Zealand and i have only just started collecting them, not too many people selling them here, and those that do xan command a high price. Thanks for sharing ❤

Does the uv protection of the bubble wrap effect the plants? Ie does it also stop the blue and red light off the sun aswell as the UV ?

what are those hard plastic tray called?

Hello

I now think that my tradescantia Fluminensis variegata was dying due to overwatering. It also has hairs. It does ok in a terrarium but I will try again using a clear pot and less watering.

Your collection is AMAZING. I've got masoniana rock and a still spikeless ferox!

✨🙏🏼

Extremely helpful. I was keeping some on my balcony but it's definitely too hot so I'm moving them indoors

Wow Geoff , the autumn ember is really coming into its own in your care ! Beautiful. That coralina is stunning. As is the black night .

My begonia rex is starting to get pretty tall bare woody stems. What do I do when this happens? Should I bury the stem in a deeper pot?

I am so glad you mentioned something that seems so simple, but is what I need exactly to help the baldness at the top of my trandescatia. There is no video that ever talks about this! They only ever talk about legginess. But not what happens when you have these bald spider legbranches hanging over the edge of the top and now it’s bald on the top. Thank you so much for your advice of cutting and sticking him back up in the soil ha ha

I have this plant at home and like it!

Hi, Geoff! Those Begonias are absolutely stunning! Congratulations! I wish we had such a variety over here.😊

Beautiful plant, congrats! It reminds me a Mango tree in bloom, it’s pretty similar.

❤

I know you won't believe me but orchids are seasonal bloomers. Ie all of them follow the 4 seasons of the year to flower. Nobiles flower in spring after winter - as long as they haven't been confused too much, this depends when they were bought. The best time to buy a nobile is in spring since they will always be sold with flowers on so spring time means they will acclimatize to our seasons best. I mention you won't believe me because all you ever hear is that phals are triggered to flower by giving them a drop in temperatures in autumn and nobiles need a cool down in winter and the same for so many other cooler growing dendrobiums. This is just completely false. But long time experienced orchid growers aren't bothered correcting people that get this wrong. I've mostly given up correcting people too because as I already mentioned they never believe us anyway and even if we manage to convince 1 in 100 growers there will still be 99 parroting on that temperatures are important. The fact remains all orchids are seasonal. Phals generally spike in autumn when the sun light hours reduce and the temperatures drop. Has nothing to do with the drop in temperatures. I have performed several trials to confirm this and every year I repeat my trials but nobody is interested. It's like magic tricks. Everyone is awed by the magic. Then you get people that figure out how the magic trick is performed and some people do like to find out how the trick is performed but compared to the magician, the person revealing the secret never gets the same 'wow' reaction as the magician performing the trick. In the same way new orchid growers are wowed by the flowers and are happy to believe phals and dendrobiums need a cool down in order to flower but the person coming along to reveal how the magic is actually done in the orchid world just gets ignored or most often not believed cause if 99 say its temperature related cause that is all they have heard then the 1 person saying otherwise must be wrong. Temperatures are important for orchids. The orchids will not flower if temperatures are too high or too low for any particular species. They all have a range they will grow well in and flower well in. For dendrobium nobiles being cool growers it is important they don't get grown too hot in winter. But cooling them down is really not as important as it is made out to be. I will admit my nobiles got too big for my grow space and I have far too many orchids so I don't grow them anymore but I did grow them for 6 years and they always flowered beautifully being grown down to 16 degrees in winter. The trick is not to keep them hot. That is all. I know people that flowered them at 20 degrees just fine too. Phals flower best in a temperature range below 26 degrees C. They will grow well above 26 degrees but flowering will be affected if kept too much above 26 degrees. Again that is it, if a phal is grown at 20 degrees then cooling it down further will achieve absolutely nothing more. As a last note I will also add that I kept watering my nobiles all through winter as an experiement and they actualy flowered better than keeping them dry. It takes years, probably decades for most average growers to ever figure this out - and they must be willing to have the desire to figure it out also. Most youtubers are not that patient, read how it's done from a guide online and parrot on what they learnt like that. I really don't blame you, which youtuber ever gets it right? All they would achieve is a lot of downvotes from people that think they know it all having read a few online guides on the subject. And again I even realize you will dismiss this comment and say well it might be but who cares, I got my likes and to prove what tom is saying would take me a decade. No worries but I will still mention it and hopefully in 100 years or so people will have gotten it right. When it comes to orchids, nothing that is discovered about them happens overnight, we've only been growing them for just over 100 years, the books written in the 60's will invariably have gotten things wrong a bit because LED lights didn't even exist back then and most other orchid books on the subject since use old books as references so the same information will continue for many more decades but eventually with LED lighting far more available it is very easy to confirm what I am saying. Since all orchids are seasonal, one just has to grow them under LED lighting and change the light hours throughout the year to replicate the 4 seasons while keeping them warm. Or watch how people grow the cool growing orchids over in jamaica. That is how I figured out that there must be more to it originally actually. Like the dendrobium lindleyii flowers beautifully in a hot climate in jamaica too. It is a cool grower - what this means is not that it needs a cool temperature, all it means is that it can tolerate a cool temperature. So me living in a cool UK climate could flower them but once I copied jamaican temperatures my plant flowered 3 times better in fact. This made me question everything I had been told before. It's fascinating how many wrong notions we still have about orchids. They have been growing in nature for millions of years, we have only been cultivating them for a fraction of that time ourselves.

How long does it take for young plant to grow to maturity? How do you know they are "mature" from their appearance?

Those Begonias are all beautiful

Hi Geoff. I enjoyed seeing your great Begonia collection. They are one of my favourite plant families and as is always the case, I wish I had more space to have a few more. Thanks for the "show and tell". I'll take more of these types of videos if you have the time to make them.

I just got my baby nanuok and I'm in the midlands c: fingers crossed.

I bought begonia black knight purely because i saw it on your channel lol. I now have two 😂 i just love it and it seems hardier than other rexes

By the way enjoy your videos and rewatch them many times.

The sun light brings warmth, warmth aides in growth. I put my orchids especially my C. Orchids. They get all the morning sun, from rise till about 11 am. The they love it. All the growth points swell up and grow.

I know this was a while ago, but do you still have this plant. An orchid update would be 😃.

You're still missing Begonia pavonia, tsk tsk.😛

So how do you know if it’s the climbing type?

Hi Geoff, I noticed that King sundew is getting HUGE! Look at those leaves! I've been propagating the heck out of my Autumn ember, I have around 6 of them now! Love those colors!

Fun video - as soon as i saw your Corallina i jumped online to see if i could find one (despite horrible luck with begonias - the only one that has survived and is now huge is my Marmaduke) - apparently that pink coloring of the leaves must be because of low light conditions - could no find a single picture online with pink leaves

I love those Begonias
