How I Grow Cattleya Intermedia Orchids

In today's video, I'm going to show you a bit more of my Cattleya and intermediate orchids. I'll also show you the layout of my orchidarium here, as well as things I would improve. But before I start this video, I already invite you to become a member here on the channel. so that you can have exclusive access to all my orchid cultivation lessons. Hi everyone, how are you all doing? Welcome everyone very warmly to another video here on the channel. And look at the doll I have here, what a beautiful, spectacular thing. It's not heavy because it's planted in a plastic pot without substrate. I've already shown this orchid, and I'll show it better later. But she's beautiful. It's been about a year since I planted her here, and next year the bloom will be even more beautiful. Because when we repot an orchid, during the first year it's still not fully acclimated. But this nonsense here really surprises me. I love this orchid because its bloom lasts longer. She grows very bushy and produces many flowers. This one here is one of my favorite intermediate catleias. It is an intermediate type of catleia. Look how beautiful she is. Now come with me, I'm going to show you how the flowers are here. How is my outdoor orchid garden? And today it's a bit cloudy, so the lighting might not be all that good. Come with me then. And today it's quite cloudy, it's already late afternoon, around 5 o'clock. It's quite cloudy, though. And as I mentioned, there are things here I'd like to do differently. And I'm still going to do even more ahead. And one of the things is this floor here. My 17-year-old elderly little cat over there. This ground will never dry again. I can leave it unwet for up to two weeks and it won't dry. There isn't much drainage here. So what would I do? I'd pull up all this weeds here. Now I can't even cut it because it's dangerous to get an electric shock. Because the machine is electric. And what would I do? I'd remove all this weed here. I don't know, I'd fix it. Chamaria someone to tidy up. Gravel or river stone filling. But I think it's crushed stone. And one other thing. Up here. Are you seeing it? Up there. Hey, my little shadow. My shading screen, which is the aluminum one, that silver one, is way too low. I would put it, I'd have it put... I don't know, maybe a structure made of wood or aluminum, I don't know. It's that everything is a cost. I would place it up there so I can put the shading screen on it. And also that transparent tile. Because otherwise I would never see blossoming. The flowers are quickly coming and going. That's why I came back to make this video about flowering again. Because it's going to pass right away. Even if I gather some, they pass by too quickly. Because we keep changing their environment, and they don't really like it. Because after all, I keep putting some of these down here under this little roof, look. And he is not transparent. Then change everything, their positions. And there, they don't like it. Sometimes flowering ends up occurring earlier. So here I wanted to do... I still want to make a structure here on top. In a way that looks great. And to hang my orchids a bit higher. Because then the shading screen will be positioned higher up. Because that way it stays very low. She almost caught me on the head. And I'm short—I'm only 1.59 meters tall. So this is way too quiet. And besides the ground, I would put crushed stone. And from the structure of the upper part. What else would I do? There's a shading screen inside those holes, which is black and thinner. Because otherwise the orchids will burn. There, I would also have to reapply the shadow. Another thing I would do. Or better yet, I wouldn't do it. These screens here. I wouldn't put any more. Or just a little bit to hang orchid cuttings or seedlings. Because it's the following. When are you going to hang those orchids that have twisted on the screen? They're turning into a couple of hussies. And it takes up a lot of space. And see what happens. That beautiful bloom over there is behind the screen. The board is not flush against the wall. It's actually well spaced. So this is what happens. The orchids are beginning to twist. I've already been here in this house for more than two and a half years. And ever since then, my orchids have been turning into a bunch of weeds. And I have to hang many of them here in the middle of the orchid house. I like them; I want to hang them here in the middle of the orchid house. But it can't be too quiet either. Because look, it's at my height here. And I have difficulty getting through here in the middle. To water and everything else. To take care of them. That's why I want a structure further ahead. To make it louder. To hang them above my head. Because then it will be easier for me to take care of them. And I can go around underneath. I could even put a little table here. Record video. At first, I even did. Because there weren't that many orchids here in the middle. Now it's a carnival. And here, during my autumn and winter seasons, it rains quite a lot. It generally rains a lot. And sometimes fungus appears on the leaves of orchids. For example, that fungus over there. It's quite dry. And the fungus grows on new shoots. It appears in the pseudobulb. It's the softest leaf. This happens in older leaves. That had already developed before the rainstorm. That doesn't happen because they are hard. But in new shoots, this happens. And there have been times when I lost new sprouts. With so much rain. I didn't lose any more than that. Why are the orchids like this? In wood. In glasses with only pebbles. But they have these spots like that. Because of the cold. Because of the rain. Although they are orchids that withstand cold well. Because Catlea intermedia withstands quite well. These ones out here. They endure well. They end up a bit screwed. Now let me show you an amethystoglossa. What a beautiful thing. This one is a Catlea ametistoglossa. Look how beautiful. She began to open. And a large bunch of flowers came forth. It's a very big thicket. That I still need to replant. I've had her for about two years. The vase is large. I only made holes. She is on the pine bark over there. And there's the MCL on top. That I have to replace again. But look at the sprouting. Rooting What a beautiful thing. This orchid is beautiful. Another thing I would do. To have more light. Both inside my house. How much is it for the area of the falenópsis? It would be part of the orchid collection. Put on the transparent roof. And the light was there. There would be much more light entering for the phalaenopsis orchids. And inside my house as well. And here are some stones. He created quite a bit of limo. It's even dangerous to fall. I have to clean at some point. It's just that it rains a lot. Always very humid. It's really turning more into summer now. What is drier? I actually think it's better. Because then there wouldn't be so much humidity. When the humidity is very low. It's easier. You water at night. Or during the day. Lie down on the ground. And that humidity will rise up to your orchids. But now when there is excess humidity. How are you going to remove this excess moisture? There isn't much to do. That's why excessive humidity is bad for orchids. That's why my orchids are like this. Everything on a drier substrate. That one over there is a tailor. She is the blue baroness. A blue door. That I've already shown here on the channel. That she filled with flowers. I think it was at the beginning of this year. I don't know if it was in March. When was it? And there she is, huge. Look. It has roots there for everything and every direction. And I can't wait for the cold to stop. Because the temperature has to stay up to around 12 degrees. To see another dawn. If it drops below 12 degrees. I still need to leave the windows. Out there in the realm of the phantoms. But if it's dawn at 12 degrees. Up. Here I can put them back out again. There are some that bloom inside. But I prefer being out here. Because flowering is more abundant. And they become more beautiful. And before I show you a little bit here of the blossoms. Look at these orchids. That I've already shown these past days. It's the one with the replanting in styrofoam. There's only one stone here at the bottom. Just to add weight. What a beautiful thing that is over there. Look at this. And now you come telling me it won't work. Of course. My climate here is humid. If your climate is too hot and dry. Maybe this will dehydrate your orchid. But if you want a planting like mine. Put sphagnum. At least on the top part. And hey, water it every day—things will work out too. And now let's take a quick look at some dendrobiums here. They are beautiful. Despite... The flowers are the best. The plant looks a bit ugly. It doesn't get much sun here. I'd like you to take more. It's a part that doesn't get much sun at night or in winter. Grab it tighter on that part over there. And a little in the middle. Let me show you now that they're still beautiful. Until the next rain. Look at this one here. A tocerona. But it produced little flowering. I have a yellow one that will bloom. The little buttons are over there. And check this one here. It's a hybrid. What a beautiful thing. It's very fragrant. Here I have another one. I have three here that are quite similar. See below. This one here. I even think they're the same. Look how beautiful they are. They are extremely fragrant. They are quite pretty. Another one bloomed below. But with the little flowers being quite small. This one is whiter. It also bloomed down here, but only a little bit. There was a power outage. Guys, I think I have four identical dendrobiums. I hadn't realized it. Look, there's one over there. And those other three over there. Look at this. I think they are the same. Or very similar. That one there, I think it's more pink on the inside. But it's very similar to the others there. He also bloomed over there. It's the noble dendrobium. That common one, which is the species. Here in the south, it blooms even without catching the sun. Because he needs the cold to bloom. But when it gets sun and also cold, it blooms even more. And there are some that decide to bloom more, others less. This one here carried quite a bit. Even staying in a lower part of the orchidarium. I've already shown that in a video. When he got more sun, he had a rosier complexion. This year he came like this. But whiter, pinkish, paler. But she's a real fan. I even had to take better care of my dendrobiums. But I've already said it in a video here. I wish I had a coconut tree in front of my house. So that I can put them in place. That way, they would look much more beautiful. Iriam grab more sun. This one here is beautiful. It's been about three or four years since I received a cutting from him. From a dearly beloved neighbor. That's from the other house where I used to live. And she gave it to me. And I gave her a yellow card. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us. What a beautiful dendrobium this is. Its color is very beautiful. Tell me what you thought. It's extremely fragrant. That other one down here. It's also beautiful. But his color when he gets more sun. Someone is coming in a darker pink. Anyway. It's nice too. And there are plenty of changes. That I would have to take out. Replant and tidy up. But look at how many seedlings it produces. I can't seem to manage taking care of everything. It's too much. I focus a lot on pharyngealization. Because they give me more work. And here I would need more time. To care for orchids. I'll show you the little red one again here. What is Oncidium. It's Oncidium fuscatum. With Oncidium Catatante. It's really quite reddish, indeed. Look how beautiful. She's also very fragrant. This one here never stops blooming. She gave me a huge rod. There, I had placed her in that area. To avoid catching a cold or getting rained on. But now I've already brought her back here. And she had already come with that pole. But... But smaller. Look at the blooming—it's so beautiful. Ali is at Catleia. First love. I replanted in the channel. Some years ago. The cachepot is of good quality. It is intact. I'll even leave the product list there. In the corner of the video for you. The links will also be in the video description. The cachepot has not yet rotted. I don't remember what kind of wood it was. Because I bought it at an orchid exhibition. But the cachepot is still intact. And look at that, it's raining hard. Sol. Everything here. It should already be rotten, in fact. Because many of the woods here have already started to rot. I'll have to keep changing. And have time to change all of this. Here is an ametistoglossa. Also that will flourish. This one is more delicately painted. What about that one over there. And look how beautiful it is. I am showing it to you again here. Let me focus more on her little flower. Look at how beautiful it is. Gave a nice bunch bountiful in flowering. And now I'm going to show you a little bit the intermediaries. That's the tile. What a wonderful thing. It's on the roof. Look how beautiful she is. I've been staying here outside for more days. Because I had taken shelter due to the rain. And here catching more sun. She acquired more color. What a beautiful one. Very beautiful. What a beautiful flowering plant. And the flaccid theologian. It still has flowers. But her blooming doesn't last long. So it'll pass soon. I'm taking the opportunity to show it. It looks like a curtain of flowers. And the plant from there is like this. Thin leaves will always run out marching. There you can cut. But it's for aesthetics. And it won't cause any problems for the plant. These leaves like this. They always end up staying like this, at the tips. That is, due to the cold, due to the heat. It's raining too much. It's normal. And here is still the intermediate bloody capillary. What is a pink rose It's very dark. It's beautiful here. Here's another one opening up. Look at this bloom Linda. They have almost all of them a shade of pink I have a white one that I'm about to show you. This one here also started a passar because these days ago I left them in the rain. And that one ended up feeling even more. The little flowers stayed very wet for a long time. So it's going by very quickly. That's why I decided Record this video today. It's going to rain later this morning. So those that are on the screens I won't be able to collect it. But these ones, yes. That little detail at the beginning of the video I love her. I am in love. For this orchid. It was this one here. a cutting I took, a sapling for my mother-in-law. I even took it out with the flower for her to see. Because she liked it, she thought this one was pretty. Then I told her that I would give her a haircut. This one over here is also here Very beautiful. It's also an intermediate-level caple. Of tone rose, but a rosier one Of course, this one here. They are all wonderful. I am passionate about them. I never get tired of talking. And that little spot there is Botrytis fungus. It is a fungus that It ends the flowers. No harm done. For your plant, don't worry. This is because of rain and humidity Very high in the air. Or when you water and stay for too long wet. If the air humidity It's already low; there won't be any problem. Why is the water going to hit there and right away It will drip and it will dry. And there, the blooming won't fall So fast already. And she's a real tomboy, look. Gave three boxes of flowers. And here it is Opening another one. I'll do it later. Pick up that orchid, look. She's beautiful. She's the one with the styrofoam. And look at the Its roots. It's not just that it has. It's also inside the vase. Outside the vessel. And the little white one I wanted to show you It's this one, look. It is an intermediate cathedral. And her identification Is this one? Intermediate Catleia Alba Rincão. This one here Last year I bought it. It is also a special orchid. Just like the blood intermediary. I paid a hundred reais for this one. And look how she is Wonderful. Very Linda. She is slightly Fragrant. This one here She's very beautiful. She just didn't open like that. so well because it's a re-planting recent. It hasn't made one what I replanted. And her It took root a little. But It was a cut I bought. And she comes a bit weak. But then, with my cultivation, she It will look very beautiful. Next year Certainly she will be even more beautiful. And this little pink one is a catleia Intermediate Vinicolor. Beautiful. Ali has an orchid. little darling. Look at this Fofura. The cutest thing. I love it. I think the yellow dendrobium is the most beautiful thing. I find it difficult for someone Dislike yellow flowers. This one too. Absolutely beautiful Here. It's opening. Look How cute. Too bad I'm not going. to manage to gather. Because It's stuck to the roots on the screen. Look how beautiful she is. It's still opening. Just Didn't open better because today It didn't work out very well Sol. Oh, she's very beautiful. You have these parts here. It's very good wine. Very beautiful. Look at how the vase It's stuck there. If I pull away, I'll pull away the roots dela. This other one here that I have already shown. It's too perfect for me. Well, look at that. Don't you remember that I showed you it was behind the screen? Only after the flowering passed so I can try to get him out of there. And this is the morquindia I had to twist the roots around because it was leaning too much It's on the ground. Then I got tangled up many roots. And here this flower is already I'm going because of the botrytis fungus. It's very humid. Lots of rain. And the other one that opened later The rain is beautiful, yes. Ali has a tailor shop. The most beautiful thing. But the wood It's getting rotten. Look. Just look. Do you see it? It's falling apart. I have to do a replant. As soon as the flowering ends, I have to start to carry out replanting of some of them. At least. Because If you don't plant in quality wood, this is what happens. And I got a lot of wood of pruning. So I didn't know Which wood was good and which was not. And I kept replanting. That's been years already. It was right at the beginning of my channel. That little pink one over there It's somewhat like a peloric flower. It doesn't open fully. It is fragrant. It is beautiful. She always does it like this many flowers. That other one over there... Excuse me, darling. The other one up there also gives many Flowers. Look, there are still buttons. There is a flower that is Walking due to the rain. And she is So beautiful. Just look. The most beautiful thing. Then these orchids fill of flowers. Look at that one over there what's going on. She is He opened it a little more. That one over there too. She's still beautiful. Here too. Flowering phase. Here was the first that began to flourish the intermediate capleias They're all such fools. This one here I couldn't quite see the flowering properly, but It is a huge flower. Grandona. I wanted it so much that she had succeeded. And here's more Little candies. I like them many of the intermediate capleias because they if they were torn and they always filled with flowers. They are generous with flowering. That one over there is one I have no idea about. but it's very fragrant. Very Linda too. This little red one here is full of buttons, But now with the rain, it will end. Look, do you see? It's going to end, little flower. The little flower is very nice Little one. She's beautiful, but she's going through it. Also. This one too. It's beautiful, but it's full of botrytis mold. Here there is a another purple one that started to open. The petals those, the better ones They end up like this, behind. Look, do you see? That's just how she is. Look at this, what a pain. And here are the buttons right here, Some have already wilted. This other one here from below, her It would be lovely, just look. With these enormous petals. But it is passing as well. Here is a rose which is still more or less beautiful Look over there, Ali. Look how she is. I think How lovely this pink color is that's here in the column, No little nose of hers. And here's one that she is mid-pyloric, trilobed. Do you see it? She doesn't open because Complete. It's very beautiful too. The one below, She's quite similar. Also, in fact. Here it is Another one from the little cachepot I also made Replan for the channel. Also It's currently flowering. There's only that one. It's a flower. So pretty, a light pink. I find it very beautiful, but the light ones They are the ones who suffer the most, usually. And do I have one Torch with Cymbidium. The flowers are well scattered, but also They passed by very quickly Because of the rain. Look What a beautiful bloom. In this very same vase there is another one that's pink, that I I also got some from my neighbor there from the other house, which was a person dear, who is no longer between us. And then she gave me some Orchids. And look at this beautiful thing. And it's a delight to see everything Florid as such. Too bad it's going to go by quickly because of the rain. So one of the reasons why I want to close it up there above When it comes, it's because because of that too, since there It won't get too wet My orchids. The rain is good, it's great. But thus, in spring and in summer, because I'm in winter, the rain prejudice against orchids, so much new vegetative part How many flowers Afterward. So this is one of reasons why I want to close Ali on top as well. And look how They are beautiful. I'm taking the chance to look, because it won't last Very much so. And that was today's video. I hope you have liked the tips, that I may have Helped you. And you? what is beginner in cultivation Orchids, know that I have An e-book is waiting for you.
