I saw a video yrs ago about propagating Ghost Orchids. The things I remember is that it really likes low light... maybe 60% shade cloth. And the guy said they need a fogger 24-7. High humidity and very low light. To much to worry about for a guy like me.
Yeah I’m sure he’s right about the low light, especially since he’s growing outside. But I think growing indoors under artificial light can be a little different. Depending on the strength of your lights, you may have to keep it pretty close to the fixture to match the light you’d get in bright shade outdoors. That’s all I meant by saying they may need more light than you might expect. Yeah the humidity if hard to keep up with. I have a humidifier and it seems to be helping the angraecoid a lot. But yeah, the Dendro is a real hassle to keep up with the water. Lol
yes, high humidity and warmth. These things grow in Florida swamps at high humidity where they don't get too much light. They should do very well in a terrarium setting.
I’m not confident enough to have one. But I’ve watched a lot of documentaries about this orchid and think it’s so cool!! I’m excited to see how it does for you. I’m sure it will thrive for you. 💜 how cool would it be to see one in the wild in person?! Dream come true.
Hi Danni! Dude it would be SO cool to see one in the wild someday. Yeah I gotta keep doing more research on it. Really hoping I don’t kill it. Lol. We’ll see what happens. 🤞
I don’t have this one. The flower looks very cute though! I knew about the superglue but since I never had it before.... Good luck with it and keep update it! Thank you for sharing.
@@bennetriley1988 yuup, but not at home right now, couldnt tell you which one, tore it off mount b4 i had new....oopsi, just soaking it daily with some spanish moss, seems to b doing good😊 got it from Houserman's , but have noticed that Natt's has or had a variety, prob going to order more diff varieties 😊😊
@@bennetriley1988 LOL, My first also, I have a habit of jumping in with both feet without checking how deep, I just try to pay close attn to a new type of orchid and wing it, sometimes it works, other times, not so much....
@@bennetriley1988 also, there really isnt a whole lot online, I've pretty much learned everything from TH-cam... I joined an orchid society, so i could go to like 2 meeting and flippin covid hit, so back to TH-cam....
Everyone wants one lol. They're not easy! I know from experience, very high humidity. The cross may be easier. I've seen our native Florida one here in bloom.... Glue is best way for them. Good luck with your plant.
Yep, you have to act fast when buying from HDO! Lol. You should check out the livestream tonight! She said she doesn’t have as much new stuff this week as she typically would, but I’m still excited to check it out.
I find your channel quite helpful as I am also from New England and can see how you take care of orchids throughout the year considering the same climate. I was wondering if you could answer my question on caring for aerangis kotschyana (from main land Africa). What kind of environment would you suggest I put it in. I've read that they don't like terrariums, so I've had it hanging over a tray of water through the summer, and spray the roots with water every day, but I feel it's not enough moisture (especially when winter comes). PS- the Ghost Orchid is an absolute beauty!!!
I love to hear from other New England orchid growers! I’m so glad you like my vids. I don’t have that particular Aerangis but I have some similar ones. Yeah you’re right about the terrariums, they like the fresh open air. But it’s tough to keep up with water and humidity. Keep misting, I’m sure that’s helpful. But I actually give mine a good soak pretty often too. I think angrecoids are slow drinkers, it takes while for them to absorb. So I think that would help you. Just don’t let them get too too waterlogged. I leave mine soaking for like a half hour, then I make sure they get to dry out well. What’s yours potted in? Or is it mounted?
@@bennetriley1988 It's mounted. Watering is a pain, I lay it down pour a few drops on the roots, wait until it absorbs, then repeat for an hour. The wood doesn't hold any moisture :/ Here's a picture, hope it's allowed: sparrowlcom.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/img_20200909_115419213.jpg?w=768
Hey thanks for watching! Honestly, it’s not doing great lol. A couple branches of the roots dried up. But there’s still a good looking section holding strong. I don’t think I had enough moss on it in the beginning, so it was drying out way too fast, I added more moss to hold more moisture and it seems to have helped. I think it got set back in that early trail period when I was still getting a feel for it. I hope it bounces back. I’ll definitely talk about it in one of my next videos.
I’m lucky to live 1 hr from the natural area in which the lindenii grow in nature! I also have a flask of the lindenii as well as a flask of these little hybrids that are coming out of flask today! Here’s to nothing 🤣🤣
You just add a dab to glue down the roots in a couple spots. Normal orchids are fine to be tied down with twine usually, but there isn’t much to these Dendrophylax, it’s just a more delicate operation. You can be really sparse and precise with the glue, and you don’t have to tie the roots down with tight string that might damage stuff. I found it was super easy and worked great.
@@bennetriley1988 That is so interesting! Regular glue or superglue? On regular orchids as well or just these? I find clear fishing line so clumsy to use and I sometimes mount too tight.
Natalie Zadrozna it’s super glue! Look for the cyanoacrylate ones, it’s like acrylic, which is basically plastic. In theory it could work for other orchids. But I think large bulky orchids need the support of being tied down with something.
@@bennetriley1988 No, most croaked out of a flask of 7-8, On did live a couple years and was growing good but just vanished either a squirrel got it or someone stole it.
Hello I was wondering if you could help me with a question? I just received my witchcraft about one month ago. The levees just started going yellow. I've given it a quarter of cup of water twice since I've received it. But now I notice it is growing a new bulb. It is also in spike. I'm in N.J.. it's getting chilly, it's in moderate light. Should I still give it a little water. I have called orchid.com but they're not answering there phone. Love the videos. Any help would be appreciated. Have a great day.
Hi Kerry! They can be so confusing sometimes! Let me think about it, I’m just at work. But I wanted to let you know I saw your comment. I’ll get back to later on. I’m so glad you like my videos! I appreciate the compliment. Talk soon!
How is your Witchraft? Still have a new growth? I bet some people wild tell you to stop watering it and try to force it into dormancy to get it back on track, but If I were you I’d keep watering and fertilizing to try to grow out that new bulb. Especially since it’s in spike too.
@@bennetriley1988 Hi I did give it a little water. It has bloomed. It's not a great bloom, it had 7 buds, but 3 blasted. The blooms aren't big but next year will be better. Thank you so much for your help. Have a great fall season. All my other orchids are doing great. I have phals, one denobli, 2 cattleya. I also have a amiliis that's 45 years old. I don't think the specie exist anymore. It's white. and blooms every year , and put out a lot of pup,s. Thanks Again.
Hey sorry I missed your comment. I went away for a few days, the plant sitter didn’t handle that one well, so it declined pretty quick. I actually bought a replacement one to start fresh. I’ll update you in a new video soon
I state in the video where I got it 😊 Yes they’re protected in the wild, but they’ve been successfully cultivated and bred in captivity for years, this was not poached from the wild.

Love the cycnohes at the beginning...
Very interesting your new plant
Like the way you make it looks!!!
Great job...

@@bennetriley1988arent one of these worth like over a thousand dollars?
Never knew some orchids don't have leaves until I watched this video! Hopefully it did well.
I don’t have this one. The flower looks very cute though! I knew about the superglue but since I never had it before.... Good luck with it and keep update it! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I’ll definitely share updates.
Nice find, mount looks great! Im waiting on a homemade mount for my rootles, not ghost orchid, will b nice to c updates👍👍😊
Thanks! Oh nice. What rootless do you have? Chilochista?

I just got mine! Any updates on yours? I was searching your site but could find one. Ty!

Omg that’s amazing! I’m so jealous!! I want to get another. Let me know if you’re selling any of those seedlings 😉
Cool orchid 👍
How did you use glue for the mount? I have never heard of using glue, interesting. Love the Ghost Orchid, it looks great on the mount!

I misted mine a few times a day with a water bottle and distilled water
Oh gotcha. Yeah that’s what I was figuring too. Did yours ever bloom for you?

Sphinx moth doesn't pollinate Dendrophylax it is another giant moth believe it's called koth moth.
How's this plant going? Is it still doing okay?

How is it doing today?
How’s this doing now?
Que hermosas orquideas. Me gustaria poder tener alguna. Lo Felicito por tanta belleza
here’s some advice try to make some more branches btw try your best
Thanks!
Where did u find the "ghost orchid". They are endangered and protected species
I state in the video where I got it 😊 Yes they’re protected in the wild, but they’ve been successfully cultivated and bred in captivity for years, this was not poached from the wild.
