THE ORCHID BOOTH

Planting orchid seeds at home is difficult.  Even if you are successful at orchid seed germination, it takes a month or two for the first tiny leaves to develop, and may take years before you’ll see the first bloom. It’s easy to understand why orchids are so expensive!

20211209 Thursday 0900 hot morning. 

Month 3

Week 12

Happy.

More Green Orchids coming up? 
I am not too sure yeh.
They look like long spring onions.

Due to hot weather, lately, I added more water with my new sprinkle.  

It looks like they like more water.

Challenging!

20211123. Tuesday 0800 good morning. 

Week 10

Seeds planted gradually since 20210907. 

3 came out on the first pot.  Happy. 😊 

Today I added 3 new pots and pits in all the balance of my Green Orchid seeds, six in each pot, and the balance 3 I added on to the 1st potty.  Total added in 21 Green Orchid seeds today.

I am trying on the new mixture of soils and seeing how they germinate. 

I mixed veggie with potting soils and organic compost for the 3 new pots.

The first pot that grows out of the green orchid is solely on veggie gold soil.

Added water.

Let wait and see how 🤔 they grow 😍 .

It is proven that do not get discouraged by listening too much or reading too much and fully believe and go 100% rely on their information of those YouTube experts and gurus 👎 .  

Always try things our own ways.  They are maybe different like you too.

20211123. Tuesday 0800 good morning.

Since nothing has come out from the Monkey Face Orchid pot, 🐵, I Loosen the soil, separated soils into two pots, and added four more seeds into two pots.  Total added 8 🐒 Face Orchid Seeds today.

20211123. Tuesday 0800 good morning. 
Day 1


20210907 Tuesday 15.00 hours a hot afternoon.

Seeds arrived today.
I put in two types of Orchid Seeds today.
 
(1)  Four Green Orchid seeds (2)  a few Monkey Face Orchid Seeds.

All stored inside my wine chiller.
Temperature about 18°C。

I did a bit of research on “growing Orchids from Seeds at Home”.   Looks like it's going to be complicated and difficult.   Well, Let's try it out.

Since there is new sphagnum on all four pots,  and I am not too sure what to do with those new monkey orchid seeds and green orchid seeds,  I put a few seeds in each pot.  Let's see how they turn out.

20210919 Sunday Heavy 8.00 am Rain morning

This white orchid plants were growing too congested in one clay pot.  Hence I separated them into four pots this morning with new sphagnum moss this morning. 6L pack of the sphagnum moss is just good for 4 pots.  Added in some pine bark to support and added some orchid mix as well.  Believe they enjoy their new rooms.

One year later ...

These white and yellow orchid plants were growing too congested in one clay pot.  Hence I separated them into four pots this morning with new sphagnum moss this morning. 6L pack of the sphagnum moss is just good for 4 pots.  Added in some pine bark to support and added some orchid mix as well.  Believe they enjoy their new rooms.
