Great video!!! Such good information. I have four (under disc lights), which I bought in late winter, one bloomed but the others have not bloomed. They are in moss topped with bark. Feeding them MSU. I may have let them dry out before watering. So I’m thinking the wick technique maybe for the two small ones.

Thank u so much Amy was waiting for this video for a long time.

You said, “He was mad at me.” Love that! Going to have to get one 🎉 ❤ 😇🐠🪽

......Amy, this was a wonderful tutorial on your tolumnia care.....Im sure it answered a bunch of questions for others......I love that you enjoy research on orchids, .....and to get even more information,..... you spoke with the growers that grew them. You truly have a growers heart.....Getting a peak at your beautiful orchids and hearing your very informative talk, is such a great way to start a day......Yours look beautiful, and the blooms show they are happy....25 Tolumnias, has to be one of the largest collections I've heard of. ..The Tolumnia's I had,... I grew mounted, or bare root in clay pots....They grow fast under the correct conditions....They grew along side my cattleyas in very bright light.......I keep promising myself Ill get some more......and after seeing yours.....I think I will........getting a blessing from you is my favorite part......

I only have 1 species tolumnia. Tolumnia velutina. It grows opposite. Needs dryer conditions. Its potted in big bark. Really airy. I tried mine with more moisture and it was starting to die! Now its turned around and growing new fans! 😊trial and error! 😂 we learn. 😂😂

Love learning from you! 💕 thank you for sharing your love and knowledge! May God Bless you Richly! 🙏💕

I love Tolumnias. They are tiny and doesn't require a lot of your grow space. What's your opinion on bottom watering Toluminas. I have read that Toluminas often suffer when water gets trapped in between their fans which can cause fungal attack. I tried mounting Tolumnias but they didn't survive in my type of tropical climate.

My tolumnias had root system problem. The moment new roots touched medium, they would dry up. I think that I maybe got a very finicky bach because I tried different mediums, went from tap to distiled watter(they were almost always moist) NOTHING CHANGED! I will buy them in future and see what happens, but my first 3 were vicious!

I missed your videos!

I repotted my 3 orchids using your advice... send good vibes to the babies ❤🌹🌷🌺

Hi Amy 🌼, thank you for another great video!! I always learn so much from you. You mentioned cal/mag this time of year but what about seaweed, do you still use cal/mag along with seaweed? Jasmine must’ve been napping lol, she didn’t make an appearance 🐾🐾. Have a blessed week🌸. Chrissy 🤠

Well, I finally repotted all of my Thanksgiving cacti. The smaller ones I did in July and they have new growth on them. My Big Red didn't get trimmed back, divided, and repotted until 8/12, on my daughter's birthday. I wanted to get all of mine into the plastic orchid liners, and in the same size pots I removed them from. I will be shocked if any of them bloom this year, but I'm ok with that. I'm happy they all have fresh mixture and I can remove them from the ceramic pots to water them. I never knew they would be happy in the plastic orchid liners until you shared that with us. Thank you for all of your wonderful advice. Happy growing. 😊💐

I was just thinking about you today and out pops a video! Wow! 🤗 It's cooling down a tad bit here but we will still have the summer effects till around the end of October. Blessings dear...🌵

ah! thank you! i never realized they weren't true cacti and were more like orchids! i'll switch mine more like my orchid watering schedule and see how we fare then! mine has been falling apart for months, and i just wasn't keeping it wet enough

I’m from Eastern Tn. too

Hello my friend! Excellent advice! I totally agree with you about fertilizing and stopping now. I actually do that with all my plants. Too much fertilizer can cause problems. I stuck my hand in Lil Red yesterday to trace a yellowing section and got bit by a spider. I am OK today but not fun! I wanted to say I did repot Lil Red a few years ago in late August or early September. I didn't have a problem but I'm sure it's because she is an Easter cactus and had months before she bloomed again. Blessings on your week Amy! ❤

Thank you! I appreciate your generosity and expertise. If you remember we had an exchange recently about my Thanksgiving Cactus "Mike". I repotted him last week at the wrong time of year and did he ever pout. The happy outcome is he's survived my mistakes once again and is looking much better. Thank you again 😊❤

Hi Amy. Thank you for the information. May the Lord richly bless you. ( and Jasmine too ). 🙏🏻🥰🐕‍🦺

Can you tell us how to know how much water to use when propagating leaves?

Ok thanks. That’s what I’ll do. Yes there is new growth, not a lot but I’m sure they have established themselves.

My sister recently gave me a Thanksgiving Cactus that had been my mom's. My mom died in 2015, and I don't think it has been repotted or well cared for since then. It was definitely very dehydrated when I received it. My sister says it hasn't bloomed for several years. I am an orchid grower and not really familiar with any of the holiday cactus. What type of medium should I top it off with until I repot in spring? Any other tips and info you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sherrii

Good point about cutting out fertilizer now. My 100 year old True CC was new to me last year and they didn’t bloom, so I’m hoping this year they will bloom. I did twitch from the Jacks formula to MSU and I noticed they loved it. My question is, I rooted two new baby plants from the 100 year old mother plant. Should o also stop fertilizing the babies.

Bless you too. Thank you😊

Hi Amy, Thank you for sharing your growing tips for these beauties. I have 2 in my collection, the all green and the varigated variety. I'm going to stop fertilizer and just give them calmag and put them in the window sill so they get used to the cool down . My green one did flower for my last year, and I'm hoping that I get to see blooms on the varigated one. ❤. Peace and blessings to you and your family. Me

How much calmag do you use in Christmas cactus. I won't start the calmag until next spring. I am getting a Thanksgiving cactus this year.

5:13 my Christmas cactus has new leaves coming now. I repotted July 18 2024. Im so glad I found you. Thanks!

Thank you! So what you do basically is let it sit for 5 hours or so with no water in the vase? I’ve been watching videos and seen people let it dry for days but your plants look really healthy I’d like to try this method!

can you post an update?

Dear Amy - I am speechless ............ amazing you 💖😇🙏 reading out loud to anyone GOD'S WORD and showing beautiful pictures of his creation 🌸 WOW you are truly blessed and a blessing ! I am a sakristan - I will pray for you 🙏😇❤️ THANK YOU 🙏😇💒

Hi Amy. I so admire the beauty and health of your plants. I have a two part question: My Thanksgiving Cactus had a thick mat of roots on top of its pot, very few in the middle and several coming out of the drainage holes ( it was in terracotta) is that normal? How do you deal with the mat of roots? 2nd question is how to deal with transplant shock? I repotted it into a clear orchid pot as you suggest, now he's pouting ( at least I will be able to see what is going on with his roots now) . Thank you, you are my go to person for holiday cactus care!

Hi, Amy. I think I once saw a night blooming Cereus (queen of the night) in your collection. Am I right. I’m trying to figure out a way to keep mine from taking over house and home lol.

I just got an Easter cactus. It was very root bound so I repotted it. At first it was doing great and had new growth...the leaves with the new growth fell off today though!! What do I do???

My Easter cactus dropped the leave with the new growth! I recently got it and it was doing good. Now all new growth leaves fell off!

Thank you for sharing and praying. Do you put inside the house or outside ?

Thanks for all the great tips, especially the paper towel tip. I will use that! Early in my orchid growing I had roots rotting in the center of the pot growing in bark with just a bit of sphag. I found that if I put inverted 2” or 3” basket pots in the bottom of the pot, it really helps to dry out the center of the plant more evenly. I find it helpful with bark especially in transplant when you are not sure how much of the root system will survive. I’ve also seen people that use very large clay pots to grow specimen size plants use a smaller inverted clay pot the same way. God Bless you!

What is a complex phal?

What a beautiful plant Amy. The color is gorgeous 😍

How often you have to water orchides

Hi dear Amy 💛🤍💜 Thank you for sharing very uplifting and joyspending orchid 💛🤍💜 ! all the best to you and your LOVEd ones 🙏💒

I don't know what a bag baby is? 💖🌞🌵😷

I wish we had bag babies in Australia.

Beautiful. That color combo is magnificent! And, Amy, my Brassolaelia Yellow Bird is blooming! I’m thrilled! Only had it 5 months. Have been told it can bloom multiple times a year. Many thanks for your amazing advice!

Wow. Gorgeous!

Beautiful ❤

Beautiful ❤️.

Oh, I thought the flowers were going to be completely green, but this combination is much better.

I just brought a bag, baby from Home Depot, online . You have given me something to look forward to . Your is beautiful 😊

Stunning!

Gorgeousness 💜

Hello Wilson. Nice to meet you.💗 I'm growing a Dendrobium. It's a NOID. A seller sent her as a freebie. Just a nub of a cane...I wasn't sure she would live. She is working on her first bloom 3 years later.
