I think you can just "pick a Latouria" and know that it will be in bloom a long time, species or hybrid. Some will last longer than others, but they all go a minimum of 4 weeks. If mine ever blooms, Fire Wings is said to last 8 weeks easily so I'm keen to see. Now nobile hybrids here don't last more than 3 weeks. The days getting long and the temperatures rising tells it to stop blooming and start growing.
Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! Agree... even though I do not have many, yes... latourias can all pretty much guarantee a long blooming cycle. 👍🏼 I hope your Fire Wings will get it's act together so that we can verify 😅 thank you so much for adding the lack of longevity of the blooms in your tropical warm / hot climate, I appreciate you for mentioning that if someone is growing in similar conditions and does not get the same long lasting bloom period! I also appreciate you for being here, for watching and all the support, amigo! Muchas gracias! I hope your weekend is off to a great start 🫶🏼❤️🌸
I have had C Dinard 'Blue Heaven' for four years this is the first year that it might bloom. I have sheaths but, so far no signs of buds. I grow under lights indoors in NYC. Temps run 24-27C Humidity 50-65% Planted in a bark mix, soaked once a week with a Cal/Mag, Kelp, Fertilizer solution.
Hi Mike 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, I think? 😅 either way... and just in case this is your first time commenting, welcome! Thank you so much for clicking on this video, I appreciate your time and your information as to how your Dinard is growing 👍🏼 I am going to keep my fingers crossed that your's will bloom this year. You have it in perfect conditions, so 🤞🏼 and if I may draw your attention to the buds, when the time comes, they sparkle as well. It is so beautiful watching the buds form ... they have a pixie dust sparkle to them. Love this orchid! Wishing you a wonderful day, Mike! 🫶🏼❤️🌸
🌸🥷🏼Samurai Nina San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 thank you so much for your request... we have a few more in the works, but yes, I will add the sizes in the coming ones 🫶🏼 to fill in the blanks for the orchids mentioned in this video, here are the sizes: Ansellias - grow pretty large, 80cm tall growths are not unusual and larger are possible, add the flower spike and the vigor of these orchids and you have XXL size. Lucky for me, they can hold on through my winters. Asconcentrum - this is a medium sized vanda and it is a slow grower. I have had mine since 2018 and this is all it has done so far, but that is not to take away from how reliable it is when it comes to blooms. Brassavolas - these are better researched depending on which one you might be interested but flagellaris get long growths, 60 cm is not uncommon, subulifolia is a medium sized one, the growths are upright, if grown in a pot, tuberculata has the capacity to grow 60cm long as well and perrinii is a medium sized one, however, the growths will not grow upright in a pot, instead pendant. Fredclarkeara - Is only very very large when in active growth. The leaves 'wingspan' can easily be 80cm across, however, once the leaves are gone, very easy to accommodate while dormant. Cattleya Dinard - this one is a large orchid with big structures, but the rhizome is not a rambling one, so it does not take up that much space, considering the size of the growths (up to 35 cm) Iricolor - a medium sized orchid, the growths can get to 25cm or a little more, but at least they grow upright on a non rambling rhizome, which makes it a great pot grown candidate. White Bridal - 25 cm tall growths, and a compact rhizome. Will grow several new growths staggered throughout the season, but at least they grow upright. Coelogyne - leaves grow pendant and can get to 80cm long. Needs a lot of space just because of that and a little spacial awareness when the spike is growing. Antennatum - Large sized dendrobium even without the spikes. 60cm tall growths are not uncommon. Because of it's vigor, it can be annoying to have to repot it every 2 years, so inorganic media is advised, in an oversized pot. Berry 'Oda' - Large sized orchid with growths that can grow to 45 cm, not including spikes. Super vigorous but at least the growths at the base are nice and tight against the previous growth, so the orchid is not a rambler Ceraula - small (not miniature) sized orchid that can be grown in a pot with the growths staked or allowed to remain pendant Hibiki - medium sized, compact at the rhizome and can establish into a larger plant growth wise, not size wise, relatively quickly Jairak Horn - Medium sized growths, no larger than 25 cm not including spikes. The spikes can double the height of the orchid. I consider this one a compact little one, similar to a smaller sized Dendrobium phalaenopsis Kingianum - small to medium sized, with a compact growth habit at the base, pot culture will not create space issues Lutin Blanc - Medium sized orchid that, if bought as a seedling, will take some time to get it's grow on. I had mine for 3 years, before it started to really perform and grow into blooming size. The base is compact, the growths grow nice and upright and can get to 35cm tall. Neifert's Alexpoly - Large to very large structures. Can grow to 45 cm without spikes, and add spikes this orchid can stand 50cm tall. Nobile NoID - mine has structures 45 cm tall, with a compact tight growth habit at the rhizome. But, as this is a complex hybrid, there are many different sizes on the market, and some can be much larger than mine is, up to 50 or 60 cm tall canes. Roy Tokunaga - Medium to large compact at the rhizome orchid. Without spikes, approx 30 cm and with spikes 40-45cm. Unicum - Mine grows canes 25cm long but I have seen them have 45 cm long canes, so, whether mine is still young or different culture yields different results, I have as yet to know if there are larger varieties out there. Grows pendant if left unstaked and does not have a rambling rhizome. Victoriae-Reginae - 50 cm long canes, can be staked but it is best grown mounted because once canes start branching things get a little more complicated.

Amazing video Nina! Hope you and your daughter are doing fine. Busy to bring your orchid inside I guess. This afternoon in Italy was 14°. Huge hug Nina!
🌸🥷🏼Dania San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 a very good morning to you, Bella! 🫶🏼 thank you for the feedback on the video, and thank you so much for watching 🙏🏼 we are doing fine, yes. My daughter is relieved that it is not as hot anymore, makes her work easier. I am glad that it is still warm enough for my orchids to be outside 🫠 14ºC is already very low.... usually, we get those kinds of night temperatures as from November. What I am very busy with, is preparing the orchids for the winter and it feels as though I am running out of time. Just a little stressed about the coming 7 months 😬 I hope your Friday is already going beautifully for you and I wish you a wonderful rest of your day 🫶🏼 I am so grateful for your support, 🌸🥷🏼Dania San!

Hi Nina. I enjoyed seeing all your beautiful orchids. Dendrobium Unicum is one of my favorites. Mine has always been a regular bloomer. Thanks for sharing. 💕💐🥰
Hi Shirley 😍💐 thank YOU so much for watching and your kind feedback! jinx on the unicum!! Isn't it just an amazing orchid? no species diva attributes! I love it! Wishing you the most wonderful of weekends, lovely lady! 🫶🏼❤️🌸
🦒💕👏 Amazing how you keep record of how long your blooms last. Do you keep notes or is it by memory? I mean, I have an approximate idea of mine but you have so many more blooms than I do 😊 Great vídeo and fabulous blooms. Looking forward to the next chapter 🤩🤗🥰😘
FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good afternoon, meine liebe Freundin! 80% memory and 20% checking the date of the images taken. Considering how quickly orchid blooms fade, as a norm, it is pretty easy to stay impressed with orchids that have a long bloom duration. They are easy to remember 😃 thank you for your feedback on this video, amiga mia, and thank you so much for watching. I hope that Iris was helping you with some of the digging 🐾❤️🐾 and I hope that you are able to get some rest and recovery this afternoon, enjoying your warm temperatures 🙌🏼🥳 much love to you 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Fantastic video Nina, seeing the blooms gives me ideas. Flushed pots all week, uppotting today. I owe you my story on how to kill a rare orchid that can't be replaced in one day. Thanks for this video Orchid Master. ❤🎉😊
🌸🥷🏼Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good morning, my wonderful BFF 🫶🏼 I look forward to, or maybe not, but... whenever you have time... que pasa 😬🥲 thank YOU so much for your time, your friendship and all the support that you so kindly and generously give!

😍HI Erin 💐 it is good to see you! I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 thank YOU so much for your kind feedback and for watching the video. The Dinard is a larger orchid, and the structures can grow to 40 cm when mature. BIG thick leathery structures... its a wonderful orchid to watch grow. Wishing you a wonderful day ❤️🌸
Hi Nina how are you doing? Plants flowers are gorgeous some lovely ones there plants I’ve got a still out in the flower. I’m doing quite well. Some of the birds on them now getting colder as we had a frost last night all the moves of the houses and the car windows were white but then meant to be getting a bit warmer again next weekso we will see rain on Sunday but there we go hope you have a lovely day and lovely weekend. Nice to hear from you. Lovely video interesting to see what other people grow. Catch you soon.
😍Hi Andrea 💐 I am happy to hear that you are doing well... yikes, the temperatures have dropped considerably for a stint! Not here, not yet 🙏🏼 wishing you a wonderful weekend as well, lovely lady! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind support here 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Nina! I very much enjoyed this video! I now have a new wishlist orchid, Den. Lutin Blanc. Sounds like an orchid I would like have in my collection. My Den. antennatum bloomed for me in January of this year and the blooms lasted until early April. He was indoors at the time and my first orchid other than a Phal to bloom under my care. He did not have a scent that I could tell. He grerw like a mad man this summer with 6 new canes but not blooms. I am hoping he will bloom this winter after he gets moved back to the indoor grow space. Thank you for the great video and I hope you have a great weekend!
HI Kyle 😍💐 Lutin Blanc is a cutie, indeed! I was pleasantly surprised by that orchid once she got her grow on. I received her as a tiny seedling and it took a while for her to get adjusted, but now... established and very very reliable. I think I have lost my antennatum as the pot cooked during the first Big Burn day on the patio. As it is a vigorous orchid, I am waiting for the time of year when it is supposed to start new growths, maybe I can salvage a section that starts a new growth and restart the orchid. I am glad that you are enjoying your antennatum. I enjoyed mine immensely and hopefully I got away with it and it will push a new growth somewhere 🤞🏼 I appreciate you adding your experience growing antennatum, here in the comments, thank you! I also appreciate you watching 🫶🏼 hope you are having a great weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Thought provoking video..People across the world love orchids because of its bloom duration. Unlike roses it won't hurt anyone. In our place and climate phaelonopsis orchids blooms last 6 months, dendrobiums 3 to 4 months snd cattleyas 3 weeks. This Sunday we celebrate Onam festival , the festival of the state of Kerala India.. Happy Onam to you Nina and Ninja Orchids viewers.
🌸🥷🏼 Director Jose San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 ¡Siempre es tan agradable verte amigo! Espero que esté pasando una velada relajante, después de un fin de semana ajetreado preparándose para las festividades. También espero que todo haya sido fantástico, se hayan divertido mucho, buena compañía con comida y celebraciones increíbles. ❤️ thank you for adding your experience with the orchids that you can share their bloom duration with the rest of us 🫶🏼 Happy Onam to you and your family as well as all your loved ones. 🫶🏼 Thank you so much for taking time out of your celebrations / preparations for the festivities to watch this video. Truly appreciate your kindness, friendship and support 🫶🏼❤️🌸
😍Hi! 💐 It is so good to see you! I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 thank you so much for watching and for your kind feedback on the video. I appreciate your time and support 🙏🏼 wishing you a wonderful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
My favorites from this list are the Berry Oda (9:48), Den. ceraula (10:57), Den. Hibiki (12:01), Nobile Hybrids (17:05), and the Den. unicum (17:08). I guess Dendrobiums are my favorite? 🤔 I have the kingianum, Peng Sent, and Hibiki, but the Hibiki grows the best. I bought my first two Psychopsis orchids on Monday. 🎉 It is the usual hybrid version, the Mendenhall so it has mottled leaves. Alot of people seem to have problems with it after repotting, but I was told to wait for new roots in spring. It is currently potted in bark with a moss layer at the top. The pH for both are 6.0. Neither one has a flower spike, but from what I've researched so far, they can last 8-10 years, whereas the flowers themselves can last about a month. Today when I watered them, I decided to use a digital scale and both went up by 31grams (31000mg). I think this will be a safe way for me to figure out how long it takes for them to dry out. When the time comes for repotting, I'm planning on putting them together in the same pot with the oldest bulbs back to back. Either that, or I'm going to experiment?
Hi Joe 😍💐 seems like you do have an affinity for dendrobiums OR, there were more dendrobiums featured in this episode than other genus 😅 I saw your video on the psychopsis and they are beautiful plants that you have there! Great additions! It is always best to wait for new roots, no matter the orchid, just to be on the safe side. Also know that, in your controlled grow conditions, the new roots may come sooner, so be on the lookout for that happening so that you can get into the repotting, or mounting without missing the mark 👍🏼 if you are trying to save space, then the same pot is a good way to do that. At least for the first 3 years, it should be good enough, until you see how well they grow for you and if you then want to separate them, you can still do that. Experiment? As in mounting one? ... they are very thirsty orchids, so just a head's up 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Joe! I hope you are waking up to a great day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Paging Dr. Nina. 🏥👩⚕️ Found my first snail in an orchid pot today and it's my new Psychopsis! I first noticed some blackening on the new pseudobulb where it connects to the others yesterday after removing a rotted leaf. I filled it with cinnamon, but at night I noticed that a part of the bulb was missing so applied more cinnamon. When I came home today, I found the snail munching on the bulb! 😧 I called the orchid nursery I bought it from and I was advised to water the pot with hydrogen peroxide or something with caffeine like black tea. Since I watered them yesterday, I was save to use the hydrogen peroxide and then I flushed with black tea. I later placed a couple pieces of lettuce on top, but I cannot repot them until there's new roots like a cattleya! 😫 The most crazy thing about this story is that the same snail was in one of the pictures I took yesterday! 🤯
Dear Nee -nah ! The best revelation from your longevity show, is for me, Dendrobium Unicum ❤ I didn't know, i didn't realize they are so floriferous . Let alone fragrant ❤ Conclusion, i must order one very soon! As for brassavola. Some brassavola hybrids give a short show, however nodosa would bloom the longest. Also my Encyvola Jairak Canary Bird bloomed a whole month 31 days for a single flower. A mature plant might expect double ❓ Also brassavola b.c Yellow bird can easily last over 1 month. Happy and LONG gardening joy to all. Share and care ! P.s I'm also growing under HOT 🔥 southern Mediterranean climate. But our side is humid all summer 70 to 80% humidity Your friend Mishmish
😍Hi! 💐 the unicum is an orchid that needs to be 'seen to be believed'. I love a species orchid that doesn't come with any diva attributes 😅 thank you for adding orchids to the comment, that you have experienced with long lasting blooms. It is true that some brassavolas are short lived, that is why I was careful to state at the beginning that I only have 4 that I can speak on ... don't want to mislead anyone to think that all brassavolas have a long bloom period. Your time is appreciated, I am so grateful for your support, thank you! Thank you, also, for watching 🫶🏼 have a beautiful day amiga! ❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Dear Nina My brassavola Jiminey Cricket super bug just opened yesterday How can I share pictures with you ❓ I'd love to share this. It's a huge bloom!! Mm

😍Hi Richard 💐 definitely a genus that will feature in the Episode that covers the letter P. 👍🏼 sometimes they bloom so long that I have cut spikes off to get more vegetative growth. Great orchids and thank you for your input! Also, thank you so much for watching 🫶🏼 wishing you a great start to the week ❤️🌸
I love this video. Thank you. Nina, I almost killed my 8" tall, new Angraecum sesquipedale, which now has no live roots that I can see. Do you have a video with instructions I should apply?
💐Hi 😍 thank you for your feedback on this video, I appreciate your time and feedback 🫶🏼 I do not have a video specifically for that, but... would you please be so kind as to provide me with a lot more information so that we can troubleshoot together and I can give more targeted advice? Here is a form that I created which is multiple choice selection. With the information provided in this form, I can xray vision myself into your grow environment conditions and be more targeted with the advice I can provide... provided that there is anything at all the we can do to help your sesquipedale. forms.gle/dLGfAK7VytyMqQXE6 you can also add 5 images at the end of the form, this way I can see the orchid and fill in a lot more blanks. 👍🏼 looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully we can recover your orchid! In the meantime, I hope you are having a great day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Great topic and very useful! I can add one: Cattleya trianaei, which lasted nearly 7 weeks under grow lights in my living room. Ancient in Cattleya terms!
😍Hi Kim 💐 thank you so much for your feedback on the video, I appreciate you letting me know and the time watching 🫶🏼 AND thank you so so much for adding your experience on a much sought after Cattleya! I had no idea that this amazing species would have such a long bloom duration 🙆🏼♀️ that is amazing!! Wow!! For cattleyas, that really is ancient, yes! I may need to think of getting one into my collection when the budget allows for some extravagance 😅 wishing you a wonderful weekend, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I'm a guy, but no worries and thank you. ☺ Your should definitely get a trianaei. Cattleya schroederae has a similar reputation for being very long lasting, but I only recently got a flowering sized one, and it hasn't bloomed for me yet. A lovely weekend to you too, and looking forward to the next in the series.
@@kimdreyer4970 oh! My! MERCY!!! I am truly sorry for really sticking my foot into that one 😓 I appreciate you for being gracious about my big blunder! Yikes... I am so sorry! Thank you for another head's up on a long lasting blooming cattleya 🤗
No... not at all... I grew up in Kenya with many guys called Kim, so it was weird for me to hear that in Europe or elsewhere, girls were called Kim. I completely forgot that. Same with Leigh. For me, it was usually a girl's name until I came to Europe and many guys were called Leigh. Sounds like I am profiling, ... ugh! 🙆🏼♀️ not my intention! Thank you for being understanding 🫶🏼
Very insightful video. Wrote down few of the names to be on the lookout for them. Thank you. Best of luck with the upcoming winter and orchid care, and blooms. =3

😍Hi!! 💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank YOU so much for watching, your comment and your time. I truly appreciate the support 🫶🏼 when using seaweed, the active growth of the orchid is the time to be using it, including roots. So, there are some orchids that start new growths and new roots while they are still in bloom. When orchids do that, then yes, keep giving those orchids in active growth seaweed, no matter if they have blooms or not. As long as there is active growth, seaweed is great 👍🏼 I apologize for the late reply and hope that my answer helped clear up your question. Let me know if my reply prompts more questions... because that can happen 🫶🏼 in the meantime, I wish you a wonderful day and once again, welcome ❤️🌸

I so appreciate you 🥲! Have a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸
I see Cattleya Dinard, and I'm magnetically drawn in. Will definitely give this a watch ❤❤
EDIT: I'M OBSESSED WITH DENDROBIUM UNICUM ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning, beautiful😍💐 She is an amazing orchid. Even when mine doesn't bloom, I am in love with the leaves and their 'intent'! So large and thick... its incredible. I still hope she will bloom this year, though 😅 unicum, yes! Can't say enough good things about that one... I know that I am biased, but you have to see it to believe it and smell it. Thank you so much for watching, Denise! I hope your morning is off to a great start, without too many papers 😘🫶🏼❤️🌸
@NinjaOrchids Thank you, Nina ❤. Thankfully I'm not buried under papers yet, but come October ...😖. Hope you're having a great weekend ❤

😍Meine Mona 💐 servus schöne Frau! 😘 Very very happy to hear that you do not have any white stuff on your orchid anymore. Wonderful news 🥳 I don't need to tell you to enjoy the blooms 😅 thank YOU so much for watching and for your kind greetings toward the rest of the household. 4 legs, 2 wings and 2 legs 😅 wishing you the most wonderful of days / weekend!! 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Amazing video Nina! Hope you and your daughter are doing fine. Busy to bring your orchid inside I guess. This afternoon in Italy was 14°. Huge hug Nina!
🌸🥷🏼Dania San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 a very good morning to you, Bella! 🫶🏼 thank you for the feedback on the video, and thank you so much for watching 🙏🏼 we are doing fine, yes. My daughter is relieved that it is not as hot anymore, makes her work easier. I am glad that it is still warm enough for my orchids to be outside 🫠 14ºC is already very low.... usually, we get those kinds of night temperatures as from November. What I am very busy with, is preparing the orchids for the winter and it feels as though I am running out of time. Just a little stressed about the coming 7 months 😬 I hope your Friday is already going beautifully for you and I wish you a wonderful rest of your day 🫶🏼 I am so grateful for your support, 🌸🥷🏼Dania San! Muchas gracias 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Amazing video very good love watching, your beautiful orchids
😍HI Barb 💐 thank you so so much for your kind and positive feedback, I truly appreciate the time watching and the comment 🫶🏼 wishing you a wonderful weekend, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Nina. I enjoyed seeing all your beautiful orchids. Dendrobium Unicum is one of my favorites. Mine has always been a regular bloomer. Thanks for sharing. 💕💐🥰
Hi Shirley 😍💐 thank YOU so much for watching and your kind feedback! jinx on the unicum!! Isn't it just an amazing orchid? no species diva attributes! I love it! Wishing you the most wonderful of weekends, lovely lady! 🫶🏼❤️🌸
🦒💕👏 Amazing how you keep record of how long your blooms last. Do you keep notes or is it by memory? I mean, I have an approximate idea of mine but you have so many more blooms than I do 😊 Great vídeo and fabulous blooms. Looking forward to the next chapter 🤩🤗🥰😘
FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good afternoon, meine liebe Freundin! 80% memory and 20% checking the date of the images taken. Considering how quickly orchid blooms fade, as a norm, it is pretty easy to stay impressed with orchids that have a long bloom duration. They are easy to remember 😃 thank you for your feedback on this video, amiga mia, and thank you so much for watching. I hope that Iris was helping you with some of the digging 🐾❤️🐾 and I hope that you are able to get some rest and recovery this afternoon, enjoying your warm temperatures 🙌🏼🥳 much love to you 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Fantastic video Nina, seeing the blooms gives me ideas. Flushed pots all week, uppotting today. I owe you my story on how to kill a rare orchid that can't be replaced in one day. Thanks for this video Orchid Master. ❤🎉😊
🌸🥷🏼Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good morning, my wonderful BFF 🫶🏼 I look forward to, or maybe not, but... whenever you have time... que pasa 😬🥲 thank YOU so much for your time, your friendship and all the support that you so kindly and generously give! You are truly one of a kind 🫶🏼 have a wonderful day 🌸🥷🏼BFF San! ❤️🌸
Thank you for another wonderful video! Really enjoyed it. If I may ask, how tall is your Cattleya Dinard’s Heaven? It looks like it’s a larger one.
😍HI Erin 💐 it is good to see you! I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 thank YOU so much for your kind feedback and for watching the video. The Dinard is a larger orchid, and the structures can grow to 40 cm when mature. BIG thick leathery structures... its a wonderful orchid to watch grow. Wishing you a wonderful day ❤️🌸
Hi Nina how are you doing? Plants flowers are gorgeous some lovely ones there plants I’ve got a still out in the flower. I’m doing quite well. Some of the birds on them now getting colder as we had a frost last night all the moves of the houses and the car windows were white but then meant to be getting a bit warmer again next weekso we will see rain on Sunday but there we go hope you have a lovely day and lovely weekend. Nice to hear from you. Lovely video interesting to see what other people grow. Catch you soon.
😍Hi Andrea 💐 I am happy to hear that you are doing well... yikes, the temperatures have dropped considerably for a stint! Not here, not yet 🙏🏼 wishing you a wonderful weekend as well, lovely lady! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind support here 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Great video. So much information!
😍HI Liz 💐 really appreciate your kind feedback on this video, thank you so much! Also, thank you for watching 🫶🏼 have yourself a fabYOUlous day ❤️🌸
Hi Nina!
I very much enjoyed this video! I now have a new wishlist orchid, Den. Lutin Blanc. Sounds like an orchid I would like have in my collection.
My Den. antennatum bloomed for me in January of this year and the blooms lasted until early April. He was indoors at the time and my first orchid other than a Phal to bloom under my care. He did not have a scent that I could tell. He grerw like a mad man this summer with 6 new canes but not blooms. I am hoping he will bloom this winter after he gets moved back to the indoor grow space.
Thank you for the great video and I hope you have a great weekend!
HI Kyle 😍💐 Lutin Blanc is a cutie, indeed! I was pleasantly surprised by that orchid once she got her grow on. I received her as a tiny seedling and it took a while for her to get adjusted, but now... established and very very reliable. I think I have lost my antennatum as the pot cooked during the first Big Burn day on the patio. As it is a vigorous orchid, I am waiting for the time of year when it is supposed to start new growths, maybe I can salvage a section that starts a new growth and restart the orchid. I am glad that you are enjoying your antennatum. I enjoyed mine immensely and hopefully I got away with it and it will push a new growth somewhere 🤞🏼 I appreciate you adding your experience growing antennatum, here in the comments, thank you! I also appreciate you watching 🫶🏼 hope you are having a great weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Thought provoking video..People across the world love orchids because of its bloom duration. Unlike roses it won't hurt anyone. In our place and climate phaelonopsis orchids blooms last 6 months, dendrobiums 3 to 4 months snd cattleyas 3 weeks.
This Sunday we celebrate Onam festival , the festival of the state of Kerala India.. Happy Onam to you Nina and Ninja Orchids viewers.
🌸🥷🏼 Director Jose San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 ¡Siempre es tan agradable verte amigo! Espero que esté pasando una velada relajante, después de un fin de semana ajetreado preparándose para las festividades. También espero que todo haya sido fantástico, se hayan divertido mucho, buena compañía con comida y celebraciones increíbles. ❤️ thank you for adding your experience with the orchids that you can share their bloom duration with the rest of us 🫶🏼 Happy Onam to you and your family as well as all your loved ones. 🫶🏼 Thank you so much for taking time out of your celebrations / preparations for the festivities to watch this video. Truly appreciate your kindness, friendship and support 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Such a great video and amazing flowers 🤗🥰🌺
😍Hi! 💐 It is so good to see you! I hope you are doing well 🫶🏼 thank you so much for watching and for your kind feedback on the video. I appreciate your time and support 🙏🏼 wishing you a wonderful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
My favorites from this list are the Berry Oda (9:48), Den. ceraula (10:57), Den. Hibiki (12:01), Nobile Hybrids (17:05), and the Den. unicum (17:08). I guess Dendrobiums are my favorite? 🤔 I have the kingianum, Peng Sent, and Hibiki, but the Hibiki grows the best.
I bought my first two Psychopsis orchids on Monday. 🎉 It is the usual hybrid version, the Mendenhall so it has mottled leaves.
Alot of people seem to have problems with it after repotting, but I was told to wait for new roots in spring. It is currently potted in bark with a moss layer at the top. The pH for both are 6.0.
Neither one has a flower spike, but from what I've researched so far, they can last 8-10 years, whereas the flowers themselves can last about a month.
Today when I watered them, I decided to use a digital scale and both went up by 31grams (31000mg). I think this will be a safe way for me to figure out how long it takes for them to dry out.
When the time comes for repotting, I'm planning on putting them together in the same pot with the oldest bulbs back to back. Either that, or I'm going to experiment?
Hi Joe 😍💐 seems like you do have an affinity for dendrobiums OR, there were more dendrobiums featured in this episode than other genus 😅 I saw your video on the psychopsis and they are beautiful plants that you have there! Great additions! It is always best to wait for new roots, no matter the orchid, just to be on the safe side. Also know that, in your controlled grow conditions, the new roots may come sooner, so be on the lookout for that happening so that you can get into the repotting, or mounting without missing the mark 👍🏼 if you are trying to save space, then the same pot is a good way to do that. At least for the first 3 years, it should be good enough, until you see how well they grow for you and if you then want to separate them, you can still do that. Experiment? As in mounting one? ... they are very thirsty orchids, so just a head's up 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, Joe! I hope you are waking up to a great day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Paging Dr. Nina. 🏥👩⚕️
Found my first snail in an orchid pot today and it's my new Psychopsis!
I first noticed some blackening on the new pseudobulb where it connects to the others yesterday after removing a rotted leaf.
I filled it with cinnamon, but at night I noticed that a part of the bulb was missing so applied more cinnamon.
When I came home today, I found the snail munching on the bulb! 😧 I called the orchid nursery I bought it from and I was advised to water the pot with hydrogen peroxide or something with caffeine like black tea. Since I watered them yesterday, I was save to use the hydrogen peroxide and then I flushed with black tea. I later placed a couple pieces of lettuce on top, but I cannot repot them until there's new roots like a cattleya! 😫
The most crazy thing about this story is that the same snail was in one of the pictures I took yesterday! 🤯
pretty flowers
🌸🥷🏼Samurai Julie San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good morning, beautiful! I hope you had a good night's sleep and welcome FriYAY!! 🥳 💐
Dear Nee -nah !
The best revelation from your longevity show, is for me, Dendrobium Unicum ❤
I didn't know, i didn't realize they are so floriferous .
Let alone fragrant ❤
Conclusion, i must order one very soon!
As for brassavola. Some brassavola hybrids give a short show, however nodosa would bloom the longest.
Also my Encyvola Jairak Canary Bird bloomed a whole month 31 days for a single flower.
A mature plant might expect double ❓
Also brassavola b.c Yellow bird can easily last over 1 month.
Happy and LONG gardening joy to all. Share and care !
P.s
I'm also growing under HOT 🔥 southern Mediterranean climate. But our side is humid all summer 70 to 80% humidity

😍Hi! 💐 the unicum is an orchid that needs to be 'seen to be believed'. I love a species orchid that doesn't come with any diva attributes 😅 thank you for adding orchids to the comment, that you have experienced with long lasting blooms. It is true that some brassavolas are short lived, that is why I was careful to state at the beginning that I only have 4 that I can speak on ... don't want to mislead anyone to think that all brassavolas have a long bloom period. Your time is appreciated, I am so grateful for your support, thank you! Thank you, also, for watching 🫶🏼 have a beautiful day amiga! ❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids
Dear Nina
My brassavola Jiminey Cricket super bug just opened yesterday
How can I share pictures with you ❓
I'd love to share this. It's a huge bloom!!
Mm
Awesome video!
😍Hi Laura 💐 thank you!! Credit to 🌸🥷🏼Samurai Nina San, for requesting the topic .... and I am glad that you liked it 🫶🏼 thank you so much for watching! Have a beautiful day ❤️🌸
Fun video and gorgeous blooms Orchid Ninja. 😅👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🦤🦅😍 Wingman! Hi! It was nice to work with blooms on a large screen while editing 🤗 thank you so much for watching! Hope your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Beautiful my dear friend ❤
😍Hi! 💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. I really appreciate your support 🫶🏼 hope you are having a great weekend ❤️🌸
Amazing as usual 🎉❤😊😘
😍Hi! 💐 thank you!! Thank you so much 🙏🏼 so appreciate you for being here and for the support 😘 have yourself a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Ive got a small Phalinopsis that has kept its blooms since mid June.
😍Hi Richard 💐 definitely a genus that will feature in the Episode that covers the letter P. 👍🏼 sometimes they bloom so long that I have cut spikes off to get more vegetative growth. Great orchids and thank you for your input! Also, thank you so much for watching 🫶🏼 wishing you a great start to the week ❤️🌸
I love this video. Thank you.
Nina, I almost killed my 8" tall, new Angraecum sesquipedale, which now has no live roots that I can see.
Do you have a video with instructions I should apply?
💐Hi 😍 thank you for your feedback on this video, I appreciate your time and feedback 🫶🏼 I do not have a video specifically for that, but... would you please be so kind as to provide me with a lot more information so that we can troubleshoot together and I can give more targeted advice? Here is a form that I created which is multiple choice selection. With the information provided in this form, I can xray vision myself into your grow environment conditions and be more targeted with the advice I can provide... provided that there is anything at all the we can do to help your sesquipedale. forms.gle/dLGfAK7VytyMqQXE6 you can also add 5 images at the end of the form, this way I can see the orchid and fill in a lot more blanks. 👍🏼 looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully we can recover your orchid! In the meantime, I hope you are having a great day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Great topic and very useful! I can add one: Cattleya trianaei, which lasted nearly 7 weeks under grow lights in my living room. Ancient in Cattleya terms!
😍Hi Kim 💐 thank you so much for your feedback on the video, I appreciate you letting me know and the time watching 🫶🏼 AND thank you so so much for adding your experience on a much sought after Cattleya! I had no idea that this amazing species would have such a long bloom duration 🙆🏼♀️ that is amazing!! Wow!! For cattleyas, that really is ancient, yes! I may need to think of getting one into my collection when the budget allows for some extravagance 😅 wishing you a wonderful weekend, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I'm a guy, but no worries and thank you. ☺ Your should definitely get a trianaei. Cattleya schroederae has a similar reputation for being very long lasting, but I only recently got a flowering sized one, and it hasn't bloomed for me yet. A lovely weekend to you too, and looking forward to the next in the series.
@@kimdreyer4970 oh! My! MERCY!!! I am truly sorry for really sticking my foot into that one 😓 I appreciate you for being gracious about my big blunder! Yikes... I am so sorry! Thank you for another head's up on a long lasting blooming cattleya 🤗
@@NinjaOrchids Seriously, don't sweat it - maybe it's something in the way I phrase myself online? 😂
No... not at all... I grew up in Kenya with many guys called Kim, so it was weird for me to hear that in Europe or elsewhere, girls were called Kim. I completely forgot that. Same with Leigh. For me, it was usually a girl's name until I came to Europe and many guys were called Leigh. Sounds like I am profiling, ... ugh! 🙆🏼♀️ not my intention! Thank you for being understanding 🫶🏼
Very insightful video. Wrote down few of the names to be on the lookout for them.
Thank you. Best of luck with the upcoming winter and orchid care, and blooms. =3
HI!! 😍💐 woohoo! I was hoping to see you in the comments one day, and I believe that this is the first time you commented on my channel? I could be wrong, but if this is the first time, then I am so glad, because I saw you had subscribed early this year ... now I can say thank you and extend a warm warm welcome 🫶🏼 the support is greatly appreciated 👍🏼 I appreciate you watching and your kind feedback... the best wishes for the coming winter, oh yes, much much needed 🫶🏼 hope you are having a great day and once again, welcome 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Hmm.. Might be. I'm not that talkative in general and tend to get carried away researching topics so might not even remember to comment. I'm sorry. Trying to write more comments to videos but might not be that diligent. =. =
The videos be shorts or long are very informative and offer great learning experience. Thank you.
🫶🏼 thank YOU! Have a fabYOUlous day 🫶🏼
Very beautiful flowers bloom of orchids.😊
😍 Hi Edward! 💐 I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank you so much for watching and your kind feedback! I appreciate your time and support 🫶🏼 hope you have a wonderful weekend ❤️🌸
Hello. Can you use seaweed once the orchid is in bloom or do you stop once they start blooming. Thank you 🙂🌸
😍Hi!! 💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank YOU so much for watching, your comment and your time. I truly appreciate the support 🫶🏼 when using seaweed, the active growth of the orchid is the time to be using it, including roots. So, there are some orchids that start new growths and new roots while they are still in bloom. When orchids do that, then yes, keep giving those orchids in active growth seaweed, no matter if they have blooms or not. As long as there is active growth, seaweed is great 👍🏼 I apologize for the late reply and hope that my answer helped clear up your question. Let me know if my reply prompts more questions... because that can happen 🫶🏼 in the meantime, I wish you a wonderful day and once again, welcome ❤️🌸
@NinjaOrchids Thank you so much for the warm welcome 😊🌸 I love watching all your videos so much, thank you for making them. Thank you for the answer ❤
