Thank you, Danni! I am very excited to have flower spikes and roots sprouting on 4 of my 7 orchids. A year ago I was a failure and kept tossing out dead or shriveled orchids, but I got extremely determined after watching your videos. You are the Angel Orchid Whisperer. 😇💖
This is exactly the kind of granularity I’ve always wanted to have about all the new growths on all kinds of orchids! I can’t wait for the next episode in this series!!
Please do continue the series. Very interesting! Can't wait eather! 😄 My coelogyny cristata was keeping me checking her ten times a day for the last month or so...eventually she is growing a new growth not spike, which I do not mind at all since she is a little girl and did lost its leaves in winter (left her oitside....sigh).
I think it's a Good series subject 💡! Something different and great for people who are new to the hobby! I love this time of year and seeing all of the new growths and hopefully, spikes and buds. 🌼🌺🌹
It's always so exciting to see a new growth . My daughter and I will take a picture as soon as we see one and send it to the other. please keep this going
This is a great idea. Love to see how different orchids grow. Please do a video about brassavola cucullata, I have a plant for a long time but it never bloomed. I couldn't find anywhere how buds form in it. Since their leaves are thin and grass-like I don't know what to expect. Thank you.
Danni, LOVE 💕 this new series!! I’ve always wondered about the maxillaria tenuifolia. Never was able to find info/pics on the web but after your detailed video, I know exactly what I need to look for. Thank you 🙏🏼 The neofinetias explanation is wonderful too. Please continue with this series. Can’t wait to see what you will exposé next.
This video is a great idea Dani! Just observing those new growths and developing flower spikes can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of the hobby. I also share your pain regarding the difficulty in differentiating neofinetia falcata new growths from flower spikes. I had what looked like 3 new flowerspikes on my shutennou (they had that tulip shape), but they turned out to be new growths. I do, however have one flower spike on each of my neos located on the most mature growths. And, most of the new growths I've seen sprouted from the lowest areas on the plant, often on the bare rhizome. So, in that sense, I still think location matters for flower spikes of this species.
YESSSSS! I have been wondering what my Max tenuifolia’s buds & pink doll’s bud’s will look like. Thanks so much for sharing this info. I would love to know what the twinkle orchids flower spikes look like as well. 😃💝
I love this idea! It's informative and exciting. I love how you touch upon growth pattern as well which is a really lovely way to get to know and appreciate orchids.
@@MissOrchidGirl haha cymbidium are new for me! So my first goal is to keep them alive! I have something growing but i'm not sur what it is! Looks like i will have to wait to see!
Yes please keep this new series. On the last orchid you showed, my guess would say it's a new growth. I have never seen that type of orchid and no knowlage on it's growing or blooming habbit. Good luck with her what ever that shoot is. Can't wait to see if it is a flower spike or growth.
Very interesting and worth learning more. I have a mini-phal with something pushing out from the 2nd leaf that is really fat, bright green and looks nothing like any root or spike. In fact, she just finished her 3rd blooming, since purchasing 1 1/2 yrs ago. She's healthy, strong leaves, good color with a mystery growing. We'll be patient and see.
I love this new series, please keep it going! Because of you I have 6 Phals that are doing well and flowering! I have a question about fertilizer, would you change how you fertilize your orchids depending on whether they are producing flower spikes? Thanks for all your fantastic information! 😊💐
Hi, glad you enjoy my videos ☺️ no I don't change anything in fertilization when orchids are blooming, unless they are the type with dormancies or cool downs!
Glad I found your channel. I was given an orchid a few years ago, not knowing a single thing about their care. Im an avid gardener outside but have never tried an orchid before. The second year produced new leaf and I trimmed the spike above a node and it bloomed again. Right afterward, the spike died back. There were no more viable nodes and I trimmed it away. Since then, I got another leaf, 2 more roots and now im waiting patiently to see my first flower spike produced from the stalk itself. Im envious of your knowledge. Do your interests take you into other types of plants? Just curious. Over this past winter, I ventured down to south Florida and went to a botanical garden and got to see orchids in a semi- natural setting with them growing along the tree boughs along with the hundreds of specimens inside the protection of a conservatory. It really got my juices flowing, so to speak. Looking forward to feasting on your knowledge!!
Oh yes, definately I hope you will continue this series.was wndering on my melintoniopsus if i was looking at spikes. Look forward to other types. Currently wondering what my vanda is sprouting 🤞might be a spike.
Hello, my maxillaria tenuifolia smell exactly exactly exactly like coconut and very powerful !! But she had i think a bacterial infection starting a different point. She was big. I cut all the peace that was healthy and put in sphagnum. Now she is growing roots and new growths and the pseudobulbes replump. 😁
Thank you Danni for all your informative videos. I was watching a few of your other self watering videos and came across one where you did a semi Hydroponics and mentioned that the top layer of Leca was drier than the bottom layer and that there was problems of some orchids. When I was watching you build the self watering system I noticed that you put the wick into the top container along the bottom of the top container from one side to the other and then into the water reservoir. So I was thinking the water comes through the wick into the bottom. Can you run a second wick through the side into the top layer and then out the side of the top container and then into the reservoir. That way the wick can take the water into the top layer directly. That way the water won't only be at the bottom but through out the different layers. If you can only put 1 x wick in then run the wick from the one hole in the bottom and then out a hole in the side near the top. That way the wick is diagonal from bottom to top and then out the side back into the reservoir. Then the wick can move the water from the bottom all the way to the top.
I loved this, Dani! I hope you can continue this kind of video series!! My maxillaria tenuifolia is not super happy and I can’t figure out why. It has yellowing leaves and has not flowered for me. It is about four times the size of yours in this video but there’s so many yellow leaves. :( I wish I could figure out why she is not happy!!
Thank you for the video and a lot of useful information. Would you make a video about miltoniopsis, how should we grow them, what to do with the root rotting and etc. Thank you 🥰
I think the Trichopilia suavis is creating a new growth. Flower spikes should look a bit pointier and not so flat even at this stage. But I'm only 70% sure😶 because these are still very young.
Is this a division of the huge tenuifolia you got from Roger or is it your old one that finally started growing properly? I like that one very much too... But I'm afraid it might require quite big temperature differences to trigger blooms 🤔 (?)
Great series! Keep doing them! I have 2 questions which are not related to today's topic but anyways. 1 do summer blooming phals need more /natural/ light than the standard flowershop ones? I think my phal bear queen is a bit sad under my artificial light. 2 what could cause my brassavola binosa wabash valley new roots to get brown sunken lines before touching the medium. I don't suspect it is fertilizer burn.
Hi Maya! Ok let's take them one by one 1. In my experience some can handle more light, some don't look so good in bright light. If you feel like your orchid could use more light you can definitely try to offer brighter conditions, as long as there is no hot sun, it's ok! 2. Hmmm how about the water you use? Did it touch the new roots? How is humidity? Maybe conditions are a bit too dry, or the water has some salts, or substances, that dry on the root. Do all roots have this damage?
@@MissOrchidGirl i water my bc binosa with osmosis water /14 ppm/ and i use small quantities of ferrtilizer. Yes, all the new roots have this damage, actually the old ones, the ones that the plant came with, were rotten and i removed them. And now the orchid has only these 3-4 new roots. It is a recent purchase, i got her a month ago. Probably it has to do with humidity. I'll try do mist the remainimg roots regularly. Thank you for your response! Have a good night!
Hi Dani! Thank you for this series. I was concerned that my phals have new roots from under the 2nd leaves and not spikes. Is it possible to get a spike next to the new root?
I enjoyed your new series. I’m a beginner in orchids and just purchased a Cattleya that has several leaves and a hard pointed spike. I don’t know if it’s a flower spike or what is called a Kiki.
I love your channel and learning of the orchids that I have. Have you encountered other plants growing from your media? I've only noticed today that whilst looking at my dendrobium there's a sprout that doesn't appear like an orchid...
@@MissOrchidGirl okay, thank you I was getting worried since I have been trying to get it to a better condition since some of the leave fell off a couple of months ago. Since watching your videos, I have seen what looks like a root appearing from the stem but the remaining leaves are strong. It a store purched one and haven't taken changed the medium.
Hello dani I have a phelenopsis schilleriana and everytime it has a root their is a little mini phelenopsis shileriana it is like a seedling even it didn't even bloom or have a seed pod but when I purchased it. It has 2 small plantlets I removed it it died now it grew 1 more this april
Hi Danny I have a question for you can I just like vanda orchids hang a phalaenopsis orchid bareroot without anything surrounding it not even a plastic pot 😊 thanks beforehand 🇩🇰 love from Denmark and just Warter it more often
Hi Danni, thank you for your educational videos 🙂 i have a concern: whenever i buy the medium ( I can only find tree bark), they're very dirty. I see that yours are always very clean. The orchids look healthy, but i'm still worried for the long term. Is it ok to use it like this or should i wash it first? I'm afraid if i wash it, some good microorganisms my be gone..😔
Hello, I just received 3 orchids, 2 cattleyas, and 1 Dendrobium for early Mother's Day. They are all in 3-inch plastic container. All three have dried blooms and has fallen off. I never had these kinds before as I only have Phals. It looks like they need to be repotted, but I was told I have to wait for 2 weeks to have the plants acclimatized to my place first. The aerial roots of the Dendronium are all dry and white. What should I do? H E L P anyone!!!

Haha I already have footage filmed ☺️
Thank you! I got one recently from thailand and I've been on my toes hoping she'll survive. :) Now I know she's producing new pseudobulbs!
I very much like to see your progress, especially Phalaenopsis. Your neofinetia look fabulous. Can’t wait for their updates. Say hi to Charlie for me.
This series is amazing! Thank you for this! Now I know what to look for with my maxilaria!! I just learned so much!
