Creating a grow space for Mini Phalaenopsis Orchids in a dark room or office!
Вставка

- Today we set up a new grow space for Mini Phalaenopsis orchids and other low light, small plants!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
Mini Phalaenopsis orchids take the same care as their bigger counterparts, with the adequate changes regarding pot size and media. Here is my Phalaenopsis care tutorial • How to care for Phalae...
All we need for these tiny orchids is a secure place in our home, such a shelf, desk or table and a light source! Since natural light is scarce, we will use artificial light.
Grow lights are the norm for growing great plants, but they can be harsh on the eyes. I find that normal daylight bulbs do great for these orchids! I prefer 4000k LED bulbs with as high output as possible (specified by the lumen quantity).
For more information on a more professional approach, learn about PAR en.wikipedia.o...
In the end we get a cute little place with enough light for our orchid to flourish and not be bothersome for our family or colleagues!

One of the things I like about you and your channel is that you're not fussy about the hybrid orchids. For some people complex hybrids are a no-no, because of... Yes, because of what? Of course they get poorer care and are common but still can make people happy :) Like me (compulsive orchid buyer/grower...)
Idk about them but for me personally I wouldn't want too many complex hybrids that are slightly different, I just figured out I adore the fragrance more than the colors so that's also probably why since most of them hybrids aren't fragrant.
I tend to shy away from grow light for phals as well because of their low light needs. Though I actually have mine in the kitchen near a window that allows for more humidity, good levels of natural light, and good air flow.
Most of my collection is mini phals! I love them, they fit well on my windowsil.
Hi Danny. With sensitive furniture you can place clear plastic sheets over it. Can purchase 5 or 6 mil in thickness from local hardware stores. As I'm running out of windows and adding to collection 😬 soon will need to add lights too.
Hi there Danni. Just watched your video on mini Phalaenopsis orchids. We have the big ones at my work, they come from overseas as small plants, we then have to unwrap them and them a lady has to put them up and put them in one of glass houses until they grow up and and produce flower spikes, and then we sell them to the public and all the supermarkets and plants nurseries. But when I go and find myself one of the mini, they are gone. Keep up the good work you are doing, love your videos.
For a reason I can’t explain, I prefer humongous orchids 😂. I love their long spikes and giant blooms.
So detailed. And it's really good. It's a good tutorial. Learning a lot. The mini phal are attractive.
This is a perfect idea for my office! Thank you!!
Hey Danny I love your videos!! I LOVE mini Phalaenopsis Orchids and just purchased two two weeks ago and hoping they last this time lol. Thank you for sharing your tips and love the lamp, perfect for my plant stand!!💖🌵🌱
I love mini orchids they are so gorgeous 😍
I've been waiting for a video like this, Thank you
I use those little plastic trays under my pots (I'm still in s/h), the extra water evaporates from the trays and adds a tiny bit of humidity 👍
I looooove the minis!
Beautiful arrangement thank you for sharing
My *mini-Phal "Coffey"* is in its third blooming season right now. Beside its vibrant magenta-purple flowers, it also has yellow borders on each leaf. Delightful year round!
Another variegated mini is "Sogo Vivien" with paler, striped flowers.
Hi, yes I do 😁 ua-cam.com/video/zMFJ7Mp7jCw/v-deo.html
Simply love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 your beautiful videos and admire plants collection
Thank you 🙏 for the advice. My apartment is a northern side... Very helpful video for me:-)
Gorgeous minis 😁
Great video! I love mini phals too. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck reblooming them after their flowers die 😥 Maybe I will try some of your tips here.
Happy New Year Danny
How awesome! I was just thinking while watch your yesterday upload about what bulbs you personally use. And behold! You happen to talk about it here. Haha, hope your doing well!! Happy growing! :)
Hi Danny! Great video as always, and it really got me thinking about my space! Unfortunately, my growing space isn't all that bright, and I was wondering what your thoughts were on using mirrors to reflect what little light I get from outside. I have a west-facing window, but light always gets blocked by the building on my right which comes out a little bit further, and the outlets in my apartment are a little bit inconvenient to get to. That said, there is always this one spot that gets very bright for about 1-2 hours that I can't put my plants in, but could fit a mirror on the wall and maybe bounce some of that light back, but I'm just afraid of burning the leaves of my orchids.
Thanks for the info - great ideas
Great video I've been thinking of making a small growing space in my closet im super excited to try this!
Hi Dani. Ty so much, you have helped me greatly. IWould love for you to do a segment on how to find low priced orchids. Love one of your biggest fans Christopher Kruse from CK orchids
thanks, great video, great voice, lovely orchids!
how many hours of light? is darkness hours required? what if when sunsets i use nearby lamp or tv in same room, will this disturb blooming or anything?
Hi Danny, This is a very useful video! You address a lot of issues so many of us face living in apartments with less than ideal lighting. I believe I saw a phal with light green leaves in your lamp-lit grow space -- is that a species/hybrid? My understanding is that those kinds of phals require higher light. Could one grow, say, a phal amboinensis or fasciata under those lights?
Hi , I just bought one yesterday , nice fragrance . But notice today no smell at all , may I know what is the problem ?
Hey Danny my mini Phalaenopsis made a fat flower spike and has more than 10 leaves but has a little blooms I'll do anything you say so you make a video How to get your Phalaenopsis to have a lot of flowers
p.s. Love ya orchids
So i don't need to use any type of special plant bulb? just a normal light bulb?
What are the names of the dark purple ones? Where can I get them?
Do you have a name for the yellow one? I bought one that looks exactly the same from a garden store here in the US 😊
Does anyone have an idea on how rare a variegated leaf mini phaleanopsis is with three spikes full of flowers. The tree spikes was neat, but I’m mostly wondering about the variegated leaves, because I also came by a variegated leaf denrobrium I thought was rare because I haven’t seen one before. Thanks , and good luck orchiders!!!!!!!
Where did you get the white pots for your minis
Maybe my orchids don't bloom because they haven't enough light... Sounds weird to light up only for plants
Happy chocolate day to u,🍫for u with some orange red flowers 🏵🌺🌹...
