- Today we take a look at a new orchid genus for me, the very popular Grammatophyllum.. which I will from now call Grammy as its name doesn't fit in the thumbnail :P
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
First of all, there is an email where you can send your questions with pictures as well and I will try to answer, hopefully in a video! The address is askmissog at gmail, will not write the whole email ;)
By sending the pictures you agree to let me use them in videos, if you don't want me to use them, don't send them! Please use the email mainly for pictures with problems, general questions can be answered in comments as well and I also have a weekly Q&A!
Grammatophyllums are a novelty for me and I hope to grow the scriptum well. The start is a bit shaky, the new growth did not make the transport, but this orchid seems very vigorous and is already growing a new growth!

You really are the best go-to expert on orchid. your vids are so extensive and detailed that you deserve an honorary phd in orchid if there was one
I love your dedication to the orchid hobby. Thank you for being so enthusiastic, informative and all round brilliant. Good luck with the email adventure.
hi danny! I love watching your vids. im a new orchid lover and now im hooked! I love learning about them in your vids.
grammatophyllums grow really large...be prepared! but they have spectacular bloom display. my grandpa used to have a gramma scriptum when I was younger. I loved it.
hope to see more vids from you and hope your gramma grows well!
lots of love from the philippines!
Hi Danny, I think it is a great idea to send pics of problem plants! We can all learn from this experiment! Hope it is a great success!
Hi Danny. Love your self watering pots. Is super efficient and time saving uf not life (Orchid) saving. Thanks again for email address and hoping you won't be overwhelmed.
very cool new orchid aquisition!! i saw maria get her grammatophyllum and it seems like wow! so huge so i guess you have to prepare to have a huge plant!
I grow this species of Gramatophyllum and it can be sensitive at times... to help limit a possible loss, I take an old backbulb at re-potting and propagate [at least try to] a new plant off it. They do seem to propagate easily.
I don't have orchids but on the topic of containers, I am in process of switching some of my foliage and succulent houseplants to hydroculture using LECA and something similar in US to Seramis mix. I've found the most challenging part of that is matching plant pots with cache pots in a way that fits so neatly in like yours. I looked for the dishes you suggested from Ikea but I couldn't find them, maybe discontinued? But I have found inexpensive containers at party stores, as well as repurposing plastic cups from coffee houses/restaurants. The other question is self-watering or reservoirs which Ill have to learn depending on the plant's needs. :)
Wow! love to see update on that now
I literally just bought about idk, 12? Lol, at the redlands show. I had some damage from transport as well, but I fixed and cut away the dead stuff and well see! I have the ones where the roots grow up. They also catch bird droppings etc. They are definitely unique! I wish I could send you one :( you've helped me so much! The spikes are over 3 ft tall!
Hey Danny! Quick question, why did you decide to switch from semihydro setup to self watering?
"Orchid show and tell" sounds just lovely! I have a general question, no photos, so I'm asking here. I have an infestation of mealybugs. Removed them with alcohol, did spray the entire orchids with alcohol/water/soap solution. However the bugs continue to appear and this is driving me crazy! So should I change the media for all the infected orchids (leca)? Should I re-spray after a week to eliminate the eggs? And yes generally how do you get rid of those pests for good? Thanks!
hi dani, my miltonia sunset started growing a flower spike but i dried. will that pseudobulb ever bloom again or do i have to wait for the next one to mature?
Hi Danny, can you pls clear how to fertilize orchids which are potted in lechuza pots?like if I repot a paphiopedlum in lechuza system,and If I use sphagnum moss or coco husk as a media,than how I am going to fertilize them,and at what ppm,and if we use fertilizer all the time when we water the orchids which are potted in this system,then is it possible that in long run it can burn there roots,like paphiopedilum has very sensitive roots,and Sphagnum and coco retain so much of salt,so is it ok to fertilise everytime,and do i also have to flush the lechuza pots,plss clear it ,i m pretty confused,?
Oh my gosh you got a grammatophyllum also I have four and it is a happy sap factory also mine has also lost most of its leaves
I also have a gramatophyllum scriptum and a martae, I live in the Philippines so its so common especially during orchid shows. I got my scriptum for only $7 last year from the show. It only has 3 pesudobulbs when I got it, now It has 8 since it has two directions of growth (lucky me). That type of orchid is a massive root producer and loves water, I forgot to water mine for 2 days since its in the corner with high light and it shriveled. Sadly mine never bloomed for me but I think its too young to bloom. But in my opinion its a very hardy plant!
Hope for the best for your orchid!
Do they like sphagnum moss? How big pot do you recommend... Mine has only 3 bulbs now.. But it gets very hot where I live and I'd prefer to water it only 1-2 times a week
I was wondering where did you get your variegated grammatophyllum, I am searching to get one but cannot find where.
Cheers,
Simon
Hi. I noticed your orchid doesn’t have the roots or fingers that grow upwards. Did you cut those away?
What is that type of medium you used??
Me orcid root has lost when it was repotting will my orchid die
Gram with basket roots are easy. They need the same care, however, in an inside type environment the root basket should not get a lot of moisture
Hey Danny whats the update on your grammatophyllum...I recently purchased one and it seems to be doing well...she came with a very healthy root system and I potted it in spagnum and bark...any tips?
i think making a video out of the questions and show the pics ppl send to your email(i think no one would have a problem with that) would be very informative and helpful
I'm going to steal the name "Grammy.." I like it. 😀 and now I won't have to keep looking at the correct spelling when I type.
You're going to love yours.
What is the best potting medium for these?
Hi, sphagnum moss is good for this plant.
Hello, I have a jungle monarch orchid and I was wondering if I could repot it now. I think the orchid has snails, and for some time mushrooms have started to appear from the substrate, yes! Mushrooms .... that's why I want to repot it . The orchid has 4 pseudobulbs, 1 backbulb and 2 new growths, What do you think Danny?
Hi, if the medium is infested and is decomposing definitely you should repot the orchid, even if it's not the proper time as they say. Good luck!
Thank you!😁
I have two of them one is struggling I need to send you a picture too. Help!!!
Thank you, yes, you can use the pictures in the email to be sent to you
Is this ever flower at all ?
Update on your grammataphyllum please :))
My Oncidium orchid bloomed for the first time, she was beautiful, and i thought, may be the flowers are fragrant, no they weren't, yesterday i watered her and this morning i don't know why, but i smelled her, she was fragrant, but not in the best way, like rotten apples, rotten eggs and honey, i really don't like it, but i still love her😂
Walter L I have an oncidium too and her flowers smell only in the morning. The smell is not bad but not the best either.
TheAilaS i discovered it at the morning, now it's night here and now i can't realy feel the smell, but the orchid looks a little bit like a hybrid of a miltoniopsis and oncidium, but she smells really bad😂
Walter L imagine your whole room would stink like that.😂
TheAilaS yeah, i thought something was rotting 😂
Lol
What kind of medium are those little balls?
Hi Mariet, the medium is called "Leca", it stands for Lightweight expanded clay aggregate.
Ou lala
It looks like you potted it in milk duds 😂
