Oliver's Greenhouse
United Kingdom
Приєднався 12 лип 2016
A channel dedicated to the cultivation of Orchids, Carnivorous, and Exotic plants. A small hobby greenhouse in the U.K., and the process of its management through the seasons. Video guides on how to look after, care and cultivate for these specialist plants. Also videos on my mistakes and losses. I have grown orchids for the last 11 years and have always had a keen interest in Exotic plants. I have also developed a keen interest in Carnivorous plants in the last two years, resulting in an expanding collection. With the construction of my greenhouse this year, and subsequent improvement in growing conditions. I can now share these plants, my knowledge and learning process with you.

This is the end!
"Hello Darkness My Old Friend" All good things have to come to an end. In this case its the greenhouse and the channel. I have to sell the greenhouse and my collection to fund the next phase of my life. In this case, its to purchase a small commercial vehicle.
It has been an excellent adventure and a MASSIVE thank you especially to my Patreon supporters. Another huge thank you to all of my community whose interactions have made this journey so enjoyable.
The channel will remain up on UA-cam as a resource although there will be no more uploads.

Super helpful information. Great job. I have one and just needed to know watering needs. Perfect. Thank you!
Hi.. are you supposed to put the fork leaf sundew in distilled water.. thank you for your video
Saw your other video with your cuttings on dried and live Sphagnum moss in a takeaway container. Interesting method of propagation! Which would you say you had the most success with? I'm leaning towards dried/rehydrated Sphagnum moss in a pot in a propagator, but also have peat moss and perlite. Also spotted you favoured tea over G&T this time! Hehe Thanks for the videos and i need to stop procrastinating and get on with it! (After a glass of wine! 😂)
Great video ans information.. I am one that have struggled with this plant but I picked up some helpful info.. I have a Regia that has a straight black root with no runners or fiber on it? Is that a normal root system?
Bulbo pots r unique
I love you forever for making this video so long ago. I can now try to save my drosera❤
anyone uses this for cannabis seeds?
Has anyone ever tried it on other carnivourous seeds such as Venus Flytraps, Cape sundews or Nepenthes?
I actually got my first ceph after watching this video. I was always so scared of how people would speak of their death rates. Mine died down a bit during acclimation but came back strong. It has certainly sparked my interest in growing more plants
Great idea! I do this with net pots, I trim them to be more shallow and fish line them in
hi, Ahoj I'm new to the carnivorous plant scene help. I recently bought sundew seeds on Amazon. Drosera seeds 100 seeds (Mix) 1.) Do filter jugs make sense? 2.) Is sundew from a filter jug healthy? 3) I was told that boiled and then cooled water is good for sundews. Can anyone confirm this? 5) Should we hand feed them at some point? as the domes are closed at the seedling stage to maintain humidity, preventing insects from entering. 6._Should we open the dome every few days to get some fresh air? 7)I would like to, I thought. catching rainwater. ? 9) I wish, I thought. catching snow water? sorry if my english is not good 🙁
Hi Oliver, I was wondering if you are in the UK? 🇬🇧 if so where? I’m in the South East London Croydon to be exact. I found this video very interesting and informative. Thank you 🙏
Nice video, thanks. I realised you posted this 6 years ago and have probably refined the technique a long time ago, but for anyone new watching it I saw a tip from Matthew of Hello Plant Lovers where he used an old card - credit card type - to make holes of various sizes first so he could use the card as a template. It seemed to work very well and stopped the drill slipping. He also suggested using water to stop the terracotta cracking and flaking from the heat of the drill, although you can get diamond bits that are pre-lubricated so shouldn't need water.
Nice advice
Thanks for the info on this beautiful plant. I just found this video. I've had a pleurothallis restrepiodies for over 10 years and never knew what it was called. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and it's outside all year and blooms early spring each year. Several of the leaves have black spots but it doesn't seem to impact the vigor of the plant. Is that something I should be concerned with? Thanks.
I just wanted to add excellent work on everything 100! Side note. I regularly use wand pump sprayers. After filling and pumping yours you didn’t seem to hold the handle long enough in the sink. I find that it takes multiple full seconds to get a newly added liquid through the hose and then through the wand. It felt like what you sprayed might have actually been plain water or whatever was left in the spray from the last usage. Curious to head if you can remember etc 🫡❤️
I have 2 of these, the larger one was around 12 years old before it bloomed, it has had done so for the last 3 years, but this year, one of its flower spikes just dried up and looking at the others, think they might go the same way. Why is this? It’s looking a bit pot bound, any tips? The smaller one is about to bloom for the first time this year. Looks like there are 3 spikes sob🤞
You can't even get these in Australia...no seeds, nothing!
Recently bought a Bulbophyllum Lobii, 7 pseudobulbs, a nice healthy plant. I'd be happy if it blooms with just a fraction of your spectacular floriferous specimen.
Can u use rooting hormone?
Absolutely yes he should start his own channel
Lmao I used to have that exact same Gojira shirt.
Wondering how you are right now. Hope you are doing okay
and a gojira shirt!!! damn, i hate i joined the channel once it "ended" but i'm glad for the knowledge. \m/
The second i heard that stupid horn noise i lost interest straight away.
Calm down you grumpy cabbage
Where did you get the colina from? I've been looking everywhere! :(
My new growth decided it doesn't want to finish growing. It's like they started and got stuck and look like they're giving up and dying. Any advice? ......also... my cat ate it today v.v we don't even know how he got up on the shelf cuz there was NO space for him to fit. So I'm really depending on this new growth to save the plant.
Your lights is bright can't see it good. What you going to with older moss? Can reuse it?
Me: *casually watches plant videos* This guy: "Bald men are the most attractive of all men"
Does anyone remember what’s the name of the other channel or if Oliver continue with it?
Still 3 years later and enjoying your videos.
Excellent! I am just now waiting for my first Cephalotus to arrive from California Carnivorous Just learning at this point
Oh I'm gonna HAVE to subscribe to a fellow carnivorous plant dread head 😭 gotta stick together 👌
i've recently found my way into orchids and carnivorous plants, been off and on watching a lot of your videos as background info while working over the last few weeks. i'm sad to have seen this, but i hope life has treated you well since.
Good evening my green fingered brother,I love this plant,and have tried and failed many times to germinate,I currently have 5 seeds from the same place,just waiting to see any movement. I live on North coast of cornwall
The plant was fine. The brown fine stuff are roots, and the paler white structures (can be brown too) are rhizomes, Hope you are well Oliver. Cheers Adam
In the UK grow them on an east or west-facing windowsill Job is a goodun
I farted.☹️
Thanks for all your help. My Cephis are doing great, thanks to you. You were a great Inspiration and Motivation for me to step up my Plant Game :)
I need to grow one of these they are super cute
Some sweet dreadlocks... but then pencil and square to cut the mount... I can't laugh at dreads though, I'm a man with hair almost to my knees, I don't do anything but wash, condition, brush, and ponytail it. I'm a beginning orchid collector, I got a tradition started of buying my mom an orchid for almost any occasion but starting on and especially on Mother's Day, and I care for them for her. I've never had my own orchid until just today, my first two came in today, a phal which I have some experience with, and an oncidium, new to me. They had soaked in seafood juice (too bad for whoever got spoiled seafood, right?) during transit but it didn't reach the plants. The oncidium had the central leaf rotted out from the new leaf growth yet-to-be pseudobulb which I hope doesn't damn the new growth. That's exactly what crown rot is right? I'm not sure whether that was already an issue at the nursery or if the added moisture from the seafood ruined it but it made me so sad. Both plants have good looking roots with lots of juicy tips. I couldn't get the oncidium back in its pot without scratching the outer roots so I set it on the table with some wet paper towels loosely draped around. I was planning to mount it but I had an unexpected family issue so it will have to wait in this improvised setup until then. Wish it luck!
hey oliver :) if youre interested in more swaps - i have some cephis myself (Martin Stöckl & Wilhelma) and a Heliamphora huberi (Akopan Tepui). Also a extensive collection of Sarracenia, Drosera & Dionaea
Hello Oliver, it's May 2022 and my cephalotus seems to have stopped growing and there are no pitchers through which I can feed it. Suggestions, please?
Recently found your channel on the cephalotus follicularis. Thank you for the information, would like to see you return one day
Hiya Oliver, just a quick question, do you need such a deep pot for your little plant?
Yes! to Mark to starting up his own channel
Hi Oliver, I love your little bird in the greenhouse, he is so tame, what is he?
Wow I never knew that there were so many carnivorous plants! Keep up the good work
I have enjoyed watching your videos over and over again even though they are all from 3 years ago! Have you done any more lately? Unfortunately the snails have got at my Cobra Lilly! Not a happy bunny!☹️☹️
Where do you get the peat moss compost? All composts in the UK 🇬🇧 are peat free!
