please welcome together with me a new channel to the Care Collab Initiative. Ray, Ray's Garden. Welcome, Ray, Ray's Garden to the Care Collab. Ray, Ray's Garden will be showing us their blessias and joining as well for an update is Fernanda Nathimen to work its own succulents and plants and other things. And this update is because of plants and other things who reached out to me to say that here's isn't blue, which is awesome. I love it. Thank you Yoshi so much for reaching out and saying, you know, let's have a look see. Can we do an update? I love it. I love it. And here we are. So you can see that mine clearly is not in bloom, but we will be seeing blooms because Yoshi told me so all the links of the updating and collaborating channels are in my description below. Please go and check them out if you have a moment and let's see what the progress is on theirs since the last time we saw them. Right, mine doesn't look like it's changed much. And I'm happy because that means it's doing well. That means that it's not stressed. I'm happy about that. It's doing well in the setup. I did a report video because I have never previously experienced bloatias before. I got this one as a gift from Fernando Nathimae and to Orcas and succulents. New genus never had them before. So I did it by cutting up video as the first care collab video that I did to see what is the root system all about. And in the bottom I've got a lot of lava just to crock the pot. And the rest is Akadama. And look at them. They're looking great. In my opinion, they're looking great. I have been watering regularly. We haven't had much rain. A lot was predicted. Not much came. Oh, that had a rhyme to it. Nevermind. Moving on. So I've watered it regularly because I don't want the Akadama to dry out. But mainly with calcium and magnesium to get it settled in to let those roots continue to grow after I've been bothering them on the re-pot. And then always flushing very regularly. Very often with plain water. Because these guys, to my understanding, like a lot of moisture around their roots when they're actively growing. Only now in May when it's gotten a little bit warmer, have I started with 160 parts per million of MSU fertilizer. So that's only been one time at the beginning of May. And then of course, flush flush flush. More calcium magnesium. The second week and now flush flush flush. And next week I will be putting in MSU fertilizer again at 160 parts per million. I think mine looks pretty healthy. All the experts out there when you see this video, please let me know what you see, what you think. Let's get in a little bit closer because just for observation purposes, when I repotted it, I wanted to keep these quarms up here, the tubers or the rhizome for lack of a better term, layman exposed and see how plump they are in juicy. It's almost like, hmm, why don't you give me another lead? But these leads were all in the nursery pot when I repotted it. I don't think it has taken on much more size, but I do believe it. It's possible that next year we're going to see some blooms online. Let me know what you think. If you know your blotillas better than I do, what do you see? Do you see a healthy pot of blotilla orchids? Also, let me reach out once again. Care collapse are open for anybody and everybody. If you have blotilla, you're not on the list. You make videos and you post to any kind of social media platform and you want to join in on the care collapse with regards to blotillas. Please leave me a comment in the comments section below. Let's get you on the list. Just like Ray-Ray's garden did back on the first care collab video we did on blotillas. I love it and I say once again welcome to Ray-Ray's garden. You are locked in now in the care collapse as much as you want to be. Thank you also to Fernanda Nathimiento, orchids and succulents for sending me this blotilla. It's always nice to receive gifts from friends and it's always nice that I can show that it's still alive and Yoshi from plants and other things. Thank you as well very much for reaching out updating me on yours per email and here we are. So let's all go and check out those channels and see what they have to show. Thank you in the meantime as well for watching my video. Have yourselves a wonderful day. Please stay safe and take care. Bye!
