Hi Ron! If you like fragrant orchids and the easy care of Phalaenopsis hybrids, then you totally should look for Phalaenopsis "Sweet memory' Liodoro, because it has the potential to fill a room with the scent of its pretty flowers

Will you be recording a video when you transplant? I would love to see how you do it. Thanks, and this was a great video to watch.

If you’re looking for vanilla smelling, go for Oncidium Twinkle, they’re hybrids that are compact and are fragrant

Vanilla is actually an Orchid ! Vanilla planifolia is the one used in kitchen =)

I guess the current blooms are a bit too old for you tu smell anything, but I'm actually surprised you didn't smell it back at Home Depot, cause this smell is actually a room filler. Somepeople can tell that there is a Sharry Baby in a room before actually seeing it ! I can't wait for you to experience it ^^

Semi hydro in lecca should do it just fine imo. Keep us updated ! (Btw, the Syngonium albo behind you is an absolute BEAST =O congrats !)

The cool thing about the sharry baby is that depending on the variety you get it can smell anywhere from vanilla, milk choco, dark choco, and different depending on the person. When the sun shines on that orchid that's when it starts smelling strong. Another Orchid you'd might like that's easy is neofinetia (vanda) falcata. It's a mini orchid and smells so intensely like honey suckle. Others say jasmine tea but I've never smelled that tea so honey suckle is the best I can describe it. Mine has two spikes right now and it smells so strong at night. spraying the leaves with fertilizer doesn't do anything for the orchid and you just risk crown rot. They leaves don't absorb the minerals. I'm not telling you want to do but also don't do it! lolol

Question, with the orchid in leca do you keep it always in water?

[EileenWstCstGrl]

Orchids aren't grown like other plants so if you're not familiar with them you should start watching some orchid videos. Hard to believe you wouldn't have knowledge of them when you grew up in Hawaii. (Boggles my mind why you would even leave Hawaii!) If you want to grow them in water, or hydroponics, watch Danielle's Orchid Ranch and Nicole Deanna, although I think it's better to learn how to grown them in bark when just starting. Some of my favorite channels are Roger's Orchids, Ninja Orchids, The Orchid Room, Orchid Girl. There are tons. Good luck and thanks for sharing your plants!
