Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Aloe-Like Dendrobium in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Aloe-Like Dendrobium
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aloe-Like Dendrobium after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

We The Wild Orchid Care Products #WetheWild So as some of you may know I am a big fan of the We The Wild products and I ran out of WTW Protect Spray that my plants love (their leave look so healthy with the neem and other lovely antifungal/antibacterial oils like Australian Native Lemon Myrtle and Eucalyptus oils together with worm castings. So I went to one of my favorite plant oasis shops (soon to have a cafe like the other shops they have elsewhere) as they usually have We The Wild products! But once again they had run out of We The Wild Protect spray so I found the next best thing, their Orchid Protect Spray (perhaps the same ingredients packaged differently but more likely to be diluted down as orchids can be sensitive to fertilizer, especially man-made products like Urea compounds high in nitrogen). And I also found their orchid pellets so I am excited to try them as well , especially for my Australian orchid Cecile Michelle de Volanges (thanks to Rose Red @LaSiguanaba and her suggested name for #HelpMeNameMyPlant, let’s just say o had a dangerous liaison when my eyes beheld Cécile’s beauty as she’s my first and so far only Australian orchid) So we will see how the new Orchid protect spray goes but I also went to a talk about indoor plants and given some great advice as to when to fertilize eg over winter as orchids and othet plants need a yearly rest from fertilizer and I will aim to post further about the talk when time permits. So happy plants everyone and I willw let you know or maybe share some before and after photos of the leaves as they do accumulate dust and cleaning them helps with eg photosynthesis #theamigos #seymour #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PLANTMAFIA #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid #GregGang #podcast #gregpodcast #HelpMeNameMyPlant #Fertilizer #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #RarePlants #gregapprules #gregapprocks #alexistheman

Hey Greggers 👋 So I went to a community garden that had an open morning available today (Saturday 6th). Unfortunately, I was late and missed the walk-through and cuppa morning tea as I had a “Pod Amigos” meeting about the podcast we are publishing for the benefit of Greg members and others soon (stay tuned if you’re interested). So this community garden is right next door to a community hall that holds 200 people and likely to be venue for a new (inaugural) Carnivorous and Collectible Plants Expo and Fair I am organisaing for Spring (September-November) as part of the launch of my new charity ! And the synergy in having a community garden next door is ideal! The community organizer (Farmer Amy) is very interested and will even advertise the Expo/Fair and will advertise the event. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to buy fresh products and other goodies like olive oil, soap, herbs and preserved lemons for example (I have made preserved lemons s and they are great for middle eastern dishes eg Moroccan dishes) So that was a lovely start to my weekend. Anyone have some nice planty plans for this weekend ? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PLANTMAFIA #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #collectibles #cpclubthursday #theamigos #Seymour #OutdoorGrowing #CommunitySpotlight #GregGang #Greggers #gregteam

#NotMyPlant Orchid Colors So I recently posted my own first orchid bloom for spring here and now I see they are wheeling the big guns at a local garden Centre for a profusion of orchids and colors. Here’s a sample And no, none of these are my plants …yet) but I thought I’d share for orchid lovers out there #OrchidLovers #PhalaenopsisOrchid #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #GregGang #PLANTMAFIA #theamigos #Seymour

A Day In the Life So today I went to one of our major plant stores (like Lowe’s or Home Depot in the US) for a workshop where I ended up building, vanishing etc a coat hanger shelf. But the outing meant I saw lots of lovely plants and so I will share just a small portion of all the photos of plants I took today (some edited highlights!?!) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #OrchidLovers #GregGang #Greggers #theamigos #Seymour #PLANTMAFIA

🌟❤️Plant Boost Tuesday ❤️🌟 😄A Boost for May 28th, 2024😄 Thanks for all the support and for those who have already joined us to boost each other this Tuesday🙏 Why not join us too #plantboosttuesday #plantinginspiration The idea is that we support each other, with our shared love of plants, by adding inspiration and lifting each other's spirits.🤝🫂😄 Life comes with challenges ❤️🩹 and suffering 😢 and yet we can all offer a boost to others 💉, to help the moment ⏱️, the day⌛ and the week 📅. If you find you need a boost, just click and see what others😸😸 can offer with inspirational quotes 🤔, inspiring plant ideas 🌹💐🌸🌱🪻🪴and anything that just adds to your day.👍 Welcome to Plant Boost Tuesday This week I want to focus on grief and loss. If our plants teach us anything it is that we can experience loss for where there is life there is also the inevitability of death. That’s the deal (to quote from the movie Shadowlands). I know a few close people who have recently experienced the loss of someone close and we so often express our sympathy and love with flowers, whether lilies or even rosemary. In Australia we mark the death of all the Australians in was with a sprig of rosemary and poppies to mark the loss of life in the First World War. And we can use herbs to help soothe us during times of hardship and loss. It is sometimes a difficult subject but it is important to allow people to grieve in their own way and in their own time. We can offer them a living gift of a plant to help them nurture So why not add something to express gratitude for the friends we have found through Greg and the friendships we have nurtured like plants 🌱 (Alex you get included as you and your wonderful team are ultimately responsible for nurturing such a friendly community of plant lovers) #plantboosttuesday #plantinginspiration #seymour #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #greggang #greggerssupportinggreggers #mentalhealthmatters #newgrowth #propagationstation #succulentlove #planttherapy #theamigos @alex #theamigos @Macstracks @PoisedAlbo @elisenavidad @FicusOnTheGood @proppinpossum @sarahsalith @ReallyMingfern @Soothsayer @HaPascanB @JesssJungle @JenniB81 @LaSiguanaba @Corinne @SensationalKoa @signorebean @Merranda @itsjordan @Keysgirl0179 @RootsnShoots @Linx @eeriewoodlander @RiomeQueen @Rockrlee @FlowerFairy @snowtrooper @MajorAngelmoss @RealSimpleMama @sarahsalith @UltraKoreanfir @CourtlyKingfern @SunnyPlants @ballondusoleil @Gustavo @Chevysgirl11 @Avocadonerd @SirLiquorice @PiousGermanivy @LikableDamiana @Amateurbotany @ImKindaABigDill @Michelle5986 @PlantHapppy @nellz4estfairyz @Maurs_Oasis @TheMoonChild @SUNSHiNEPLANTS @Luckyclovertrip @Snapdragon @KinderPlants @ittle.squid @TwistedThreads @KeenSucculent @ILoveMyPlants @TidyTigerpear @fawn @Lifeis2short @PlantBeach @HeraMonstera @Suzanthophile @Ninabeena @anomalocarys @Stephazar @RJG @Aikalovesphilos
