00:00Let's talk about orchids. Do you really want to know how orchids behave in the forest?
00:08There are three types of knowledge in my view: technical knowledge, the kind we study.
00:14Empirical knowledge, that which you acquire through experience.
00:19And the third knowledge, which is the field knowledge that you acquire.
00:24Through experience, through time, through dedication and making connections about it.
00:33So the orchid behaves as follows.
00:36When you enter a forest, you will always find an orchid in the middle of a tree, in a fork or two.
00:44Why is she there? She's there to receive the night's dew, the rain, the humidity that descends.
00:50And during the day, when the ground is heated, this air rises with a little more density.
01:02Why is it dense? Because it rises with microorganisms for absorption by the orchid's roots.
01:10She feeds on it.
01:12Well, it is in the fork and it is there in the middle of the forest, where it receives humidity from above with little intensity,
01:21because of the leaves and everything that protects it.
01:25Below, in the middle, because there it receives technically, empirically,
01:32and the knowledge of experience, these nutrients with less density,
01:38because it is there in the middle and, a curious fact that I will draw attention to,
01:43orchids love to swing.
01:47So, it is there in the middle, with the coming and going of the wind, there is a movement of the orchid.
01:54If you have an orchid at home, people, it has to have a source of water and humidity underneath,
02:00It has to have a source that receives this coming down, right?
02:04It's between day and night and another thing, she likes to swing.
02:09So suddenly, if you take an hour a week to give the orchid a shake,
02:16go there and shake the orchid for an hour a week, it's a joke, isn't it?
02:21But, and yes, this is the behavior of the orchid in the forest.
02:26And then you will have flowers and you will be dedicating yourself much more.
02:32It's no joke, this is field knowledge,
02:35acquired with the experience one has and with the observations one makes.
02:41Okay? Have a good day, and I hope you make the most of this knowledge.
