Beautiful summer bloomers. Thanks for the video.I enjoyed every minute. I will be putting this on my wish list to buy some in the near future. I really love the tetrapsis. Cheers and happy growing 💕
I just got this orchid. And it's hard to get the story bought phalaenopsis to bloom. I live in south Florida. And can't wait to receive this orchid .Thank you for your information on this orchid.
I just got a P. Bellina, P. Sweet Memory, P. Lyndon Mix Zebra 819, and another one with a very long name. My grow space/bedroom is around 80° during the day and 69° at night for most of the year. In the winter, the daytime temp is usually in the mid-70s and nights are in the mid-60s
Hi Nicole, you did a very good job explaining the care of summer blooming Phalaenopsis. These along with the miniature Phalaenopsis are my favorites. Thank you for the great information you provide. It’s appreciated. 🤗🌸👏❤️
Hi Nicole, You’ve made me very happy putting this video up just now. I’ve very recently bought 3 summer blooming phals and as we are in winter right now I’m going very gently on the watering. My guess is that when spring comes I can start with feeding lightly and watch them grow. Your video pretty well gives me more confidence and if there’s anything else I should know about these beautiful orchids I would be happy to receive your advice. Thanks for sharing this valuable information.
I'm so glad this video came in right on time 🌺 When they start actively growing leaves, you can fertilize and give more water. They are happy staying slightly moist and warm. Happy growing 💗
What I don't like about many of the summer bloomers is the growth habit, bellina in particular won't grow upright and it always ends up heavy on one side and falls over at the drop of a hat. The blooms are lovely and have that citrus fragrance, but that growth habit doesn't lend itself to pot culture well unless you can hang the pot.
I see them headed that way. I'm going to hang them or put them in heavy clay pots. The fragrance really does it for me! I wish they did grow upright though!!
I absolutely love summer blooming phals, however do struggle with them in the UK winters. I have them in a cupboard under LEDs but I think it's still getting too cold, will try placing them on a heat mat as you suggested this autumn-winter and see how we go! So bful ❤
Great video, thank you! I have a few summer blooming seedlings, as I just got into them last year. You’re right the violacea bloom as a seedling was SO cute and amazing. It wasn’t fragrant but I’m not surprised given it was so little. I’m sure I’ll get fragrance as I see future blooms. It’s winter down here in Australia so mine are focussed on growing roots. Very happy with that!
I'm so glad you like it! When it gets better I'm sure you're going to get that lovely cinnamon floral fragrance it has. It's summer here and mine are pushing out massive leaves right now. I've had many for three years and I didn't expect theyd' all get so big, I need to do an update video Lol!
Perfect timing! I just purchased my first two species Phals a few months ago! …any tips on encouraging new root growth on a tetraspis cross, by chance…? 😳
Hello Nicole, thanks for this video! I love the summer bloomers and currently have about 8. They are beautiful and some of the ones that are fragrant smell amazing. I just purchased a heat mat for a few of mine to see if they would grow ant faster and YES, the mat has made a huge impact!!
I'm so glad they growing well for you! I know you grow in semi hydro, and I'm glad the heat mat is making a difference! When they are slightly cool they definitely stall! Happy growing 💗
Enjoyed this video..of course! My favorites!! I have 26 now, blooming and if not blooming they're in spike. Fragrance is wafting my way. 🥰 I just love them. You have beautiful ones! I love seeing them, I've watched twice. Good info, too, and tips. One more little detail about the full sphagnum: if I feed in summer in sphagnum about 300ppm, do I need to follow right then with plain rinse? Or, bc it's sphagnum, is 300ppm too high? I'm afraid to burn anything 🤔! So far so good with this media, but I want to take best care of these beauties, and am excited about all sphagnum. I will flush once month. I like asking you since yours seem so very happy & vibrant.😊💗👍💚
I'm so glad you liked this video 💗 I think it's fine to feed the orchids with Spagnum at 300 ppm! You don't need to rinse after you feed, you can just flush once a month and it should be fine. I'd only look to flush sooner if you see salt buildup on the top of the pot. Thank you for watching 🤗
I'm sorry to hear that, can you have one shipped from the states? If one day you're able to go to the Tamiami Orchid festival for sure you'll be able to get one there :)

Amboinensis is my favorite. I love the way it smells. Amazing how subjective scent is.
I agree :) I've had that one for a few years and I actually started liking it at one point, then I disliked it again. Thank you for watching :))
Thank you! I can’t believe that after almost 8 years of growing Orchids, I’m only now discovering the appeal of growing the summer blooming Phals!
They are so nice!
So many beautiful summer blooming phals! 👍🌸 Thanks for sharing Nicole! ☺ 🌞
Appreciate you watching 🤗
I have a few with spikes, fingers crossed blooms will form 🤞🏼🙏🏼
They will very soon :)

Those are good ones!! Very fragrant, at least the first two. You'll love them, and your temps will work out :))

Beautiful orchids! At least two of these are going on my "buy" list!
I'm so glad you liked them! Summer bloomers are lovely ❣️

Keep the media moist but not soggy and you'll get nice roots with warm temps. Thanks for watching!

Nicole, where did u get these summer blooming phals? I don’t find them on Haussmann website.
I actually got them at hauserman, but two years ago! Their stock changes and maybe they'll have some more in stock this fall / winter?
I just got a Mini Salmon phal at grocery store today store today...2inch pot 3 bloomstalks any tips??
@@richarddrake9650 check out my mini Phalaenopsis video, they are different from summer bloomers :))
If I cut a green flower spike before knowing I shouldn't have, will it grow another one next season?
Yes, they come back and you might actually get even more spikes next season, so I wouldn't sweat it.
@@NicoleDeanna Thank you for the reply!
Does Bellina smell like cinnamon??
@@richarddrake9650 like lemons. Violacea is more like cinnamon :)
I wish I could find a gigantia here in puertorico but no luck so far 😢
I'm sorry to hear that, can you have one shipped from the states? If one day you're able to go to the Tamiami Orchid festival for sure you'll be able to get one there :)
@NicoleDeanna i totally forgot that online shopping was an option! well goodnews i found her at big leaf orchids online shop🤞
Excellent!! @@eloina17
