Hi Danny! I live in the Philippines and we(me and my mom) actually have these phalaenopsis. They bloom and produce keikis like no other! We actually grew it on one of our backyard trees and they don't look as unruly maybe because it mimics their natural environment. All the roots are attached to the bark and we only have the flowers sticking out with several keikis. The flower stems also usually withers away after a couple batch of flowers. So we remove them then. Thank you for your videos! I am learning a lot.
Missed you Dani I have been so busy with my mom well I’m busy with her every day n I just can’t find the time to watch you when you come on n I hope you are doing great 😊 ❤ ❤😊
Those are amazing! I've never bought an orchid as all of my 16 are what I call "sanctuary" orchids. They were from people killing them and I save them. I might have to do some shopping as they are fabulous!
Hi Danni. I don’t have your orchids but I have a Phal that bloomed once and has grown large for a mini. She is now giving me large leaves and tons of air and pot roots. I now noticed a new leaf that looks like a pea pod. Very wild looking. Enjoyed this video.
I have a couple phals that have the same trait to produce keikis that will bloom with the mother plant early as well and I'm currently planning on trying to manipulate that growth pattern into a layered/ cascading arrangement in hopes to create the appearance of a cascading waterfall of blooms
This video is just what I have wanted to see! 😍Would you be able to do "part 2" where you would present orchids with tendency to grow "alien like"? What I mean by this is heavy root producer (+maybe heavy keiki producer) wich would over time make orchid look like octopus or alien😅 Thank you for your super content! 🥰
Hello Danny! I actually have a question for you.. i watered my mini phals today, and later i noticed that one of them had tons of small droplets underneath one of the leaves which were quite sticky! Im sure it did not have this before i watered- is this related maybe? I’ve heard you say before that sticky residue on orchids might be from pests- but.. it was just so many drops on the whole outer line of the underside of the leaf it made me think it looked too «strategically placed» to be from pests🤔 would love a response to know wether i should worry / take any action or not ! ❤️
Danny, help‼️I inherited a huge 8 year old Phal with 20 air roots that are 8-10 inches long. Some are perfect, some are brown and desiccated 1/2 way down. Should I cut off the dried parts? It is planted in bark and has been for 2 years I don't want to repot at this point, because it is in spike for the third time this year. Please help!🤗
Is this the result of not cutting bloom spikes on a sequential blooming orchid? If I cut the spikes on a sequential blooming or hid that I just received in order to allow it to save energy from the stress of shipping and adjusting to my grow area, will it grow more next year or is it best to just leave them and let it acclimate.
have you ever had an orchid that was induced into polyploidy with something like colchicine or oryzaline? I hear they're super vigorous and potentially weird/wild looking
The bastianii has been on my wishlist for a while - now I know what to look forward too 😅. I don't really mind the unruly look too much though. How long have you had yours now?
Lol I’m thinking what did I do! I have a Phal. bastianii 🤣 in my Milsbo tall, it’s ok it’s still young, I’m sure I have a few years till mine is hopefully looking like yours. 😂😊
This has probably been asked a million times! Can you put two orchids beside each other and somehow get an all new orchid? I have been loving orchids in my home for about 8 years. It’s never happened for me.
The process of hybridization is unfortunately a bit more complex than just putting them next to one another, if you were hoping to get a new orchid. It involves hand polination, in which you take a tooth pick to collect pollin from the one parent and polinate the other parent manually. If it produces seeds, the hard part begins. Seeds are almost powdery they are so tiny and in nature they form a symbiotic relationship with a very specific kind of fungi. Orchid seeds don’t store nutrients and can’t survive and grow without an external source of nutrients. You need lab conditions to keep them from dying outside of their natural habitat. I think orchid bliss has a pretty good article about how to grow the seeds but thats pretty much the hard part.
Love their "wild" look! In fact, those are 2 of coolest orchids I've seen, because of the Unique way the flowers and shoots "arranged" themselves. - Lynda
I love wild.. it looks like my hair in the morning 😂
These are both really beautiful orchids. I’m very much drawn to that wild look, so pretty.

I love all the wild girls! Bastianii is beautifully wild
My mom always call the spider plant as “bad mother” (mala madre in Spanish) beacuse it kicked out the kids from the pot.
Danny, “You are the cat meow!” (Love the cat ears.) Orchids are like people, they have a mind of their own.
Take care and Stay Safe.😁
I adore these! I'd go for wild orchids in a heartbeat!
All your orchids are so gorgeous as always n I love them 😍 all ❤
What a stunning orchid! Would die for one of those
Your wild children. So lovely. ❤
Very nice orchids, cute video. I enjoyed watching.🤗👏🥰
My new favorite phalenopsis are these unruly ones. Their growth echoes how my brain works most days. Looking at them makes me feel happy.
Wow! I love the wild look! Beautiful! And I love the Butterfly Pot❤️
Loved this show and tell today ❤
Phalenopsis bastianii looks like a titan!
I actually do like these, but I would absolutely love them mounted. They are absolutely begging to be spilling out into the air, truly wild looking.
Thanks for posting and sharing 🙂
Missed you Dani I have been so busy with my mom well I’m busy with her every day n I just can’t find the time to watch you when you come on n I hope you are doing great 😊 ❤ ❤😊
You should do a video ranking your favorite orchids. I would find that so entertaining and i might even find a new orchid i would like to buy :)
Note, I think you have done this is tge past but I thought about any new orchids or olf ones you like
That's amazing Danny! You did a great job❤ They look gorgeous!
I adore wild!
They are different but yet beautiful 😍
Omg I would loose my mind at that bastianii
Those are amazing! I've never bought an orchid as all of my 16 are what I call "sanctuary" orchids. They were from people killing them and I save them. I might have to do some shopping as they are fabulous!
They are both beautiful but I agree that it must be challenging to display them.

Love them, on the fence if I want you to train them to grow in one direction.. These are the wild ones... love it
I have a couple phals that have the same trait to produce keikis that will bloom with the mother plant early as well and I'm currently planning on trying to manipulate that growth pattern into a layered/ cascading arrangement in hopes to create the appearance of a cascading waterfall of blooms
I would love to have one or one of the keikis, so beautiful.. Ty! for sharing.

So neat. I wish I could find these different varieties of Phalaenopsis Orchids in my area.
love your content
I would love to have a keiki if ou want to give them again! Love your cat ears!
Where do you purchase your orchids. They are sooo beautiful.

My bastianii keiki inherited his mom's wild looks. It is like an explosion of flower spikes and new roots. 😆

I wish mine did this but I feel like they hate me 😂
Omg if you ever decide to kick those unruly phals to the curb, I'll take them. I love unruly orchids, I think it means they are insanely happy!!!
Madre mía qué maravilla
do you know where to find these type of orchids?
Would it be safe to separate the Keikis?
have you ever had an orchid that was induced into polyploidy with something like colchicine or oryzaline? I hear they're super vigorous and potentially weird/wild looking
The bastianii has been on my wishlist for a while - now I know what to look forward too 😅. I don't really mind the unruly look too much though. How long have you had yours now?
As for keikis in phals, I have like 5-6 of them and even they have produced flowers but no keiki up to the moment.
Yessssss ❤
Lol I’m thinking what did I do! I have a Phal. bastianii 🤣 in my Milsbo tall, it’s ok it’s still young, I’m sure I have a few years till mine is hopefully looking like yours. 😂😊
Does anybody know why my orchid flower spikes are short?

Coffee table orchid....viewed from all sides
My phalaenopsis Zebrina is like this
The orchids are doing them... nevermind everyone else 😅
The video should have been titled “Orchids that trigger my OCD”. I get it, I’d feel the same. 😂
Spider plants produce spiderettes on stolon. 😊
Buy an inexpensive battery turntable so it rotates slowly..see what happens
Personally, I love a messy sister. I just want to put her on a wall and let her do her thing.
Maybe you can gift me a Bastianni keiki 😜
Whaaat???? You’re showing your face? I need to find the video where you explain the miracle. Lol I imagine completely different.
Que les pones de comer
