Secret Orchid Care Tips from a Master Orchid Grower

John Clements is such a nice man and has a wealth of knowledge. Please make more videos with him, Kevin. You are very lucky to have that beautiful botanical garden in San Diego.

I am an accidental and successful cymbidium orchid grower in southern California, much to my dismay. I have five, 5 gallon pots of cymbidiums that grow hundreds of flowers on each plant, each year. The length of sun exposure is key, watering is key, fertilizing on schedule is key. I would urge you to experiment with orchids. They are much easier to grow than you might think!

I have 4 moth orchids at home,and one vanilla orchid.😀 the last one is that suprises every guest we have,they all amazed by how i was able to get my hands on one.(well long story short,i have a co-worker who is from brazil,and she brought me a wine,that i rooted out 2 years ago😅)

My grandmother grew beautiful orchids. That woman could grow anything! She definitely had a green thumb! 👍💚💜

Orchids you'd find in supermarkets and IKEA are actually pretty hardy and drought resistant. Keep them around after the flowers die, cut the flower stem, and next year they'll send out new flowers!

I am loosing my mind at how many orchids there are in that beautiful greenhouse😍 a pair of phalaenopsis orchids were my first houseplants and now I have 12 phals. They are my absolute fave plant ever as each one has a unique personality and the flowers can be so similar yet different at the same time. I would highly recommend watching Miss Orchid Girl here on YouTube for all the orchid info you could ask for. Can’t wait to see which orchids you pick out!!!💚

John Clements is such a wonderful person. He discusses plants with gusto and you’ll never get bored with hearing what he says about it. Hope to see more of you featuring him and San Diego Botanical Garden, because it is for people around the world who wanted to have a tour but impossible to. 😊

I think it's cool that you and I have shared the same path in gardening. I started off gardening mostly growing veggies like you do, but then I got a rescue orchid from a friend, and I am now hooked on orchids!! Great video :)

kevin saying, "lemme get a hit outta that real quick" when sniffing the orchids is cracking me up

Your garden is very different like a dream
