- Today we talk about Phalaenopsis Orchids, as their blooming season is just around the corner!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
In order to obtain multiple flower spikes and a great flowering show from orchids, we need to keep in mind the culture and needs these orchids require, but also know which Phalaenopsis orchids are able to produce the show we are looking for.
1. The best candidates for multiple flower spikes are the complex, flower shop Phalaenopsis. So any orchid can produce a great show, but not all will.

I once had a phalaenopsis orchid plant that quit blooming so I set it outside on a tree stump, out of it’s pot, with just it’s wood chips entwined. I did not pay it any attention for months, but when I did, I was in shock. It had grown so large and had 8-10 spikes in bloom. This was on the wet side of Maui at 500 feet elevation, with eastern exposure, temps 70 at night, 80+ in day. I guess you could say it had found its sweet spot.
Nature is best
I had a Cat for many years that did not bloom. I set it on a table in the back yard and forgot about it. My neighbor told me that he was amazed by the beautiful plant on the table in the back yard. There it was in full bloom; bright pink. Now I set plants outside in humid and hot summers here in MD.
Yes they thrive on outsides than in indoors. The same thing happened to my phals as well.
OMYGOD it must've been GORGEOUS!! I have a tree in front of my apartment and I've been dying to do that but it's not my tree!!😭🥰
Yesssss!!! I never can find Hawaii specific planting tips - I’m windward Oahu. Inside by a window doesn’t do the trick for me, about to go put my old orchids out on the mango tree 😊
Your really something there kid. I'm sure I older than most here but this young lady is our online professor!! How many votes can we get and give this lady her PhD!!!!! I'm using a repurposed aquarium and have 2 in there. One has bloom spikes
an aquarium seems like a good idea because orchids like humidity. Would like to see a picture!
I never thought of that. Great idea...

Can we see. 😌

I had three spikes this year with 14 flowers! 😊
I have 8 phals currently developing flower spikes since I followed your videos and corrected wrong things I was doing. Your channel is very informative specially us who can only grow orchids in doors. Thanks a lot.
I personally never cut a flower spike off. I let the plant decide what to do with it. Since it has taken energy to grow it and yes it takes energy to maintain it, the plant can also take the energy back from it by drying it out and using this energy to grow smt else. Sometimes it grows a new flower spike from the enrgy, sometimes it regrows from another spot of the spike and sometimes it dries the spike half way and grows another spike from the old one, I only cut off the dried part. And even that has happened that the old spike regrows blooms without growing a new stem after taking a little resting time. In the time I've had my phaleanopsis I've had it bloom multiple times in the year but I've only ever had 3 separate stems. One is inactive now, and one is blooming again. And regrowth activity on the last stem which is half way dried and cut. By cutting a stem it would take forever for the plant to grow a suitable space for a new stem to form from the base.

Never understood why people cut the spike off. After my neighbor's bloomed she threw it out. I wish I could've got to it before it died.
@@devilmecare Now cutting a flower spike imo is good practice throwing a perfectly good plant is not
Thank you for the advice on light. I'll leave it where it is, near the south window but indirect sunlight.
Just lower the temp 15 degrees at night and a little lower in the day and they will throw multiple spikes.
I've an Orchid that has now 10 leaves , all hale & hearty . Truth !
My orchid keeps growing so , I'll keep feeding her !
She is a store bought Phalaenopsis from 2 years ago ... she shall bloom when she likes .
I just adore her & she knows it !
So do I,many healthy leaves but no flower at all.😢
Thank you! I didn't know about the temperature drop cues! By the way, I used to have dove (a ring-necked dove). I loved her voice. She was a prolific egg layer.
Hey there,
I cut my Phal’s stems after the last flowers dropped right above the lowest nodes and they started flowering again, three flowers on each. Also new spikes are coming in, so there are four in total right now. My orchid is an old girl, 7 years in age. Also has eight layers of leaves. Thank you for your amazing tips! Can’t wait to see how many flowers I will have this year.
WOW! Sounds amazing eight layers of leaves!!! Congratulations!!! I’m jealous… I’ve only had five layers at the most! I’ve found in 2020 that putting them outside during Spring/Summer months helps with growing and producing flower spikes maybe one day I will enjoy an eight layer orchid!!😉
My mom’s plant as of today has 13 flowers in bloom! An still more to come... 🥰
16 flowers as of today,
As of today and in total my momma plant ended up with 20 flowers! She is over the moon with her beautiful orchid!
whoa so cool!
That's amazing, keep orchids!
Mine is at 12
Good video. Always feel that you have done an adequate amount of research/study in preparing your videos. I like that you make references to AOS articles and that you present what you have actually discovered through caring for your orchids. For the first time I have some phals that are flowering for me. Some of that success is due to watching your videos and those of some other TH-camrs. Thanks! (Loved the dove cameos.)
Such a huge amount of information!!! As usual, thank you!!
The birdies are sooo cute!! 😊
I love orchids because it gives me pleasure. Thank you for showing me the beautiful orchids.
Hi girl thanks for providing all the info about orchids. Im so glad I found your vlog. Im getting more obsessed esp now that I have the knowledge on how to take care of them properly. Here in our country, we are called Plantita, the one who' s hobby has the heart of planting. It was so relaxing and giving me stress free.
Only person I go to for the best orchid ever information. Everything is well explained. Thank you Orchid Girl!!
Because if your videos, I've gotten so much better at caring for orchids. Well...I've quit killing them at any rate. No new spikes but theyve decided to do new growth and that's fine too 🥰
sybelausia gloria des lutheran churchdana point,california
I agree with your observation. My experiences showed that it’s better when I cut off old spikes too. Another observation I made that may not be true is whatever I do doesn’t show right away but seems to take longer time to show. For instance, feeding, if I fed well and growing healthy this year the results seem to show next year with more flower spikes.
My orchid started to rebloom and I’m so excited!!! Yay
It's crazy, I've been following you for a few years but your videos always surprise me with new information! I just love your channel, you thought me so much. And your birds looks beautiful 💖💖
💖
@@MissOrchidGirl I just wanted to know how to get them to rebloom.
Where can we buy different kinds of medium for phals? I want to buy.
Thanks for keeping me inspired and interested in my orchids!
Holy sprite church
I had an orchid blooming with three spikes for almost two years straight now!! I just started listening to your wisdom, so I hope I saved mine before it died, since the leaves were suddenly dropping off & the buds drying up. I repotted it, & found a lot of dead roots, so am hoping it will still stay alive!!
Too much water in the bottom that probably rotted your roots! Orchids need very little water and never like wet “ feet” ....
I found your videos and loved your repotting video. I had an orchid for 2 years with no reblooming. I repotted and started fertilizing it... And I have 2 spikes starting... And I found a 3rd today! Wow! Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your bird with us as well!
I just transplanted 1 yr old (for me), and in 2-3 dys a beautiful spike under 2 leaves growing like crazy.
You have given me new hope, I have thrown out so many Orchids that I believed I had killed, but clearly a. little TLC would have brought a recovery
I’m glad to know I’ve actually been takings care of my orchid well even though I’m just starting to actually learn about them(I’ve had this orchid for 2,5 years and it’s growing 2 flowers spikes!)
Thank you! You explain so well in a most soothing voice and manner.
I love birds! Had a small one years ago! I keep food out for wild birds 🐦 n clean water I’ve had several Cardinals nest in patio I have decorative bird houses on patio walls they make nest in them the I get to see baby grow! Enjoy it 😀
Thank you so much for your amazing videos full of amazing content and information. My orchids have never been so healthy! This year my orchid has 3 flower spikes!!!! I am SO happy. I even rescued 2 from a clearance isle and managed to nurse them back to health and they're now with brand new flower spikes, thank to your tips. Can't wait to see what colors the blooms will be 😊
Yaaay so glad to hear! ☺️
Same here, I like to think I'm running an orchid "rescue"! 🤣
Great idea!
For the last couple of years I have been raising orchids that I saved from my workplace. Any question I had about them, I watched a video of yours.
Proud to say that one has finally thrown a flower spike. So tall and healthy and grand and quick! There are two beautiful purple blooms already open, and several more waiting to blossom.
Thank you so much for all of your help!
Birds are so lovely and the information you give is so helpful thanks Dani
Thank you for all the details, I find it really helpful and interesting. Also I love listening to you speak, very soothing voice x
Wow! Amazing to see those phals with multiple spikes. That is awesome. I have mini phal with 3 spikes. Very rare Surprised me too. They’re beautiful.
i'm finally learning about # of leaves to flower spikes. i have one plant in particular that had two spikes and some blooms. we moved from an apartment with very little sun to a really sunny house and wow did this plant grow the double spikes. not only did i get the two spikes, it gave me extended spikes w in the spike and over 42 blooms! almost all of my other plants are single spike plants, but even a few are giving multiple mini spikes within the single spike due to better sun.

My friends orchid had five spikes and looked lovely but it died afterwards. I felt it over did itself! Do you agree Danni
One of mine produced a Kelki on its spike. After I had removed it no spikes of flowers but another keiki at its roots. Can you explain how I can make my plant bloom?
joshua2222ful not sure how to make it bloom. I ha a Keli on a mini phal that has a spike with seven buds on it. I am not going to remove the Keli unless the mother plant starts to show signs of stress.
joshua2222ful yes I do agree. Maybe over stressed itself.
@@joshua2222ful Use 6-30-30 for orchid fertilizer, half dose as usage directions.
I love all your videos !!! You set the world apart from other subscriptions on you tube.For future videos..... would love to see more of your birds !!!!!! They are very entertaining !!!
I have started to enjoy your videos more and more after cute birds introduction 😊
My store bought Orchid is growing a new flower spike out of the old flower spike. My Orchid also has a flower spike growing 3 leave levels out of the in-between. Thank you for all your information, So excited🙏
Oh my gosh you are amazing! Thank you for all the details. I’m finally starting to understand this complicated plant. 💜
💖
I really love your videos! They are so interesting and helpful. And your dove is soooo adorable 😍😍😍
Your bird is so cute. Beautiful flower.
That dove looks beautiful!
I always watching your video..i followed the instructions you mentioned and I am happy with phals because they are reblooming in water cultured ...
Great detailed information about the flower spikes, not heard before !
"Joey doesn't love you but I do!" 😄👍
Thank you so much... I have two phalanx , both of which have single spikes developing. .... exciting !
Love your Doves, so beautiful ! I’m excited, one of my older orchids has two spikes an I have a Kiki on another one!! 😀
"Today were gonna talk about birds!" Omg I literally ugly laughed 😂😂
Thank you for sharing all this orchid info. Last year my son got me three phal orchids. (The store was throwing them out. Wow!Sometimes dumpster diving pays off). I’ve always wanted one but wasn’t ready to pay the price. So when he brought them home they looked healthy and still had flowers on 2 of them but in desperate need of water. The flowers died off but the plants are doing great. I repotted them with the pots and potting mix you suggested and this year they are growing new leaves. So happy. Hoping to get flower spikes.
You gave me the courage to try again and purchase a Phalaenopsis.
I was the person who thought that orchids were those amazing plants you got as a gift that swiftly disintegrated as soon as you walked in and set them down in your house. Through your videos I was able to educate myself and get so much more information, I actually feel confident about my Phal and my 3 flowering spikes. I am determined to make them last as long as I can! I know she needs a bigger vase but I won't risk repotting now, she is just starting to acclimate to my house and in bloom, also I see healthy green roots (You see Sensei, You have taught me wisely!!!). Anyway, thank you, and don't be afraid to put on more gratuitous bird content, they are lovely~~
💖
Buy one! They’re really not hard
Love your tutorials!! First time in your channel!!💝💝💝
Two leaves down = possible flower spike spot. Thank you for good info!
Love this video. So educational. Thank you.
Thanks for all of the information. I have a plant that
Flowered last spring only two flowers. I cut spikes 4 “ long.
It has grown many leaves and some good roots but no spikes.
I have fertilized it.
I sometimes let it go several weeks without water.
Adopted it from someone ready to throw it away for lack of flowers , repotted it as directed in your video.
Miss Orchid is awesome! I started following her during Covid lockdown. I’ve revived 2 old orchids from this channel’s help. She is spot on about most. Mine are blooming right now in winter after a vegetative period spring through summer. Thanks for great info ❤️
Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and skills!
Lovely bird with beautiful flowers
Hi Danni, great video. I have been following your videos since last year and bought a phalaenopsis orchid in Jan 2020 and it gave a great show. Its grown well vegetatively during its growing season and now its shooting out 2 flower spikes to my surprise. I initially thought they were roots. I am excited to see what she looks like this year with a double spike. Thank you for your informative and educational videos, they are simple to follow and understand and very effective. Thanks
Beautiful birds 😃
Thank you thank you thank you so much for your incredibly insightful videos!
I had this orchid bought last year .. n after blooming the spike was till greeen n I read that it might rebloom again so I kept it . But after going through ur videos , I decided to cut it n guess what I got two flower spikes .. which appeared now … thanks so much … dear . I m learning a lot from all ur videos as this is my first time growing them … I got two other orchids from an exhibition … denphals n venda. I am learning’s about their care n their needs from ur videos . Thanks for all ur efforts !! Keep posting !! ❤️❤️💕💕👍👍
One of my phalaenopsis has 6 flower spikes, and it's a surprise since I didn't take care of it well this past winter. Still in bloom now!
HOWWWWWWW 6 SO LUCKY! mine has 1 lol
@@seanbelli4705 That's why I said it's a surprise! :) I have to admit I was afraid that it would die after bearing such a heavy load of spikes last year, but as of now that same orchid has shown 4 tiny spikes!
I bought orchids with 6 spikes but they died after few seasons
@@MalouCalanza Sorry that your orchids died, but I think it's normal for store bought orchids last for just a few seasons. A couple of mine ended the same way! The way they were grown and "pumped" with fertilizers to make them attractive for sale has dictated their fate! :(
Watching h your Video about the orchids! Just wondering what the best soil or fertiliser you used! I love my orchids but not blooming that much! Watching from London
Well thank you, I learned a thing or two 👍🏽
I NEED MORE MAYA AND JOEY CONTENT!!! I love them so much
Awesome video, thank you. Maya is adorable.
that bird is stunning!
You are such a wealth of knowledge ! I love you- !
Excellent! I agree to cut off the spike to an inch or so from medium. Beautiful birds :0)
Thank you for this video I really need help on how to take care of my new orchid lovely tips
So thorough!! Thank you!
🕊🌱 great info ! Enjoyed watching
Thank you. Very informative.Learned a lot😊
OMG❤ you are a life saver great info
beautiful video, you are doing so great, keep it up!
Love your videos! They're very informative. Subscribed yesterday after finding your channel. 😁🌼🌱
Thank you for the tips!
Thanks for that very informative video. I love my phalaenopsis orchids but I’m super impressed by how healthy yours look. I especially enjoyed learning about taking off the spent flower spike and not letting it get secondaries. I’ve always let mine go and they get one or two poor quality flowers. If it wasn’t raining right now I would be down in the green house right now 🤗🌸
I love finding so many facts about
Thank you so much that’s very helpful and useful
Love your birds.
Thank you, new to your channel and learning so much.
Thank you! What an informative video!!!
Very beautiful flowers
I learn so much from your videos. I think my phal is confused. He was purchased at a store in texas. He just produced a new spike at the beginning of may!
Very helpful. Thanks!
thanks for the info in growing my orchid
Please don't get frustrated with the dove singing Danny ahaha it's just beautifully compliments the relaxing orchid world, so it's only adding a bonus ;) I personally love it, no need to stop just let them sing through ahaha
I definitely agree !!
She likes to hear herself talk to much.
Glad to see this video in English.Looking for more videos too come
So glad I found your channel!! I have a mini Phalaenopsis, and it still has 2 blooms on it and a new spike is coming out. I was shocked when I noticed it today.
Danny! Thank you love your videos
Excellent information.
Love your doves, and your advice
Omg I love your orchids I just bought some 🥰
I use to cut off the spikes after they bloomed but I won't anymore. Both spikes I left on from the last bloom, re-bloomed this spring! They never dried out, stayed green and bloomed!
Fantastic video! Thank you!🙂
I totally agree with you about summer blooming phals...I have a bellina with two flower spikes but one is not "active" I guess is a way to explain it.
awwww.....maya is so cute
Her voice is an ASMR 🥰
Your birds are beautiful 💕
