Hey guys! I also just added in the description a link to my video discussion on where to buy Orchids and there is a list of stores in the description of that video too! Also you can watch it here too ☺️ ua-cam.com/video/dSkJ03xSLQI/v-deo.html
be aware all kind of seeds online, exotic/rare seeds 99.99999% are scam
TY so much! I was told about those, my friend was going to order some, glad I have seen this.
At university they told us all about how difficult it is to grow orchids from the seed. They told us its easier to clone an orchid than to germinate it. So most orchids sold in shops are "clones".
It also ensure a great uniformity in the product since most plants grown from seeds show variations compared to the parents...
yea but the strongest gene is from seed not clone
So are bananas well only the Cavendish type but it is most popular in Western places
@@vacciniumaugustifolium1420 I think that is where the coolest flowers end up coming from too.
Same with majority of store plants
Ooh, we have some seedlings in our greenhouse that look just like this! They're salad leaves.
I was dying to know what they were lol
🥰🥰🥰
yeah the 2nd leaves reminded me of arugula
@@gratismahlzeit I thought so too :)
A lot of plants look identical so young. I have pepper and tomato plant sprouts that look the same, at this stage you can’t tell which is which
Protip: You're more likely to get real orchid seeds if you buy pods, rather than "seeds" in any quantity.
well not always true, my local providers sell/give them without the pods, which makes sense, I'll never use a whole pod by myself. (these providers sell propagation equipment, orchids, and in vitro cultivation lessons ;))
Or by a orchard thats in almost every grocery store and take seed pods and grow more later
@@thesilentone4024 not so easy. I tried growing crucifix orchids as well as cattleyas from seed pods I had grown myself. I even bought the agar gel and set up a sterile grow box. I grew nothing but an amazing cluster of mould. It’s less hassle to buy seedlings from reputable growers.
@@renatecormick7399 hmm good to know then.
Thank you for that. I was one of them buying monkey face seeds. Nothing grew. At all. Now i know..i also bought rare cactus seeds and nothing happened either. Hmmm...best to buy the plant
Don't get discouraged with cactus seeds yet. Cactus can be very tricky to germinate, in nature they germinate in the cracks of rocks after enduring the winter and a very hot dry summer.
@@fenrirgg ohhh...ok. i want to try them again but they dont come with instructions. I just assume its like germinating anything else?
@@thepeacemaker3584 I have tried planting them like normal seeds, and it works with the common cactus seeds from the supermarket, but others need stratification, that is puting them in very hot water for some time (from 3 minutes to 30 minutes) before planting them. I have yet to try that method.
Rareseeds on Etsy is actually a reliable seed source! Cacti need specific conditions to germinate but it can be done! i currently have frailea mammiffera from a friend i'm starting from seed
Wow, I never knew this was a scam. I thought I'd just been sowing them incorrectly or just unlucky at getting any to germinate. I've purchased all kinds of flower _seeds_ from EBAY. Even bought bags of 'growing medium' for lady slipper orchids because I fell for that, too. Never again, thanks for the heads up!
Awww so sad! How many people feel bad about thier gardening skills because they can't grow the scam seeds most of which are such poor quality they won't grow :(
I also tried growing these "seeds" when I first got into orchids. It didn't take me long to find out that I had b scammed. Glad you are letting folks know about it before they waste their money and time!
These look like parsley. thank you for every video you make - you make growing orchids easy and fun!!!
and congratulations on your engagement!!!
I enjoy your low-key, pleasant delivery, and your excellent info. Thanks!
I was on Etsy this morning and kept seeing listings for orchid seeds. I was skeptical and glad I was. Thanks for your educational videos.
Thank you for talking about this!! I saw these all over wish before it was taken down.
I had just seen the orchid seeds on Amazon and I am so glad you have proved my suspicions before I got hooked in.
I had no idea! Thank you for informing because I was thinking of buying some seeds.
How interesting, I've always wondered what would come out of the scammer seeds.
Also - I'm waiting to hear from the post office to make sure everything is ok - but you should receive a care package from me in the next couple weeks! Don't worry, it's not more bogus seeds 🤣🌱
oh wow!! so excitiiiiing can't wait! but you didn't have to, hope it's nothing expensive! please don't spend too much for me!! 🥰
@@MissOrchidGirlif anything it was the shipping that was the expensive part lol but you are SO worth every penny! 😉
Thanks for the heads up. I love your channel.
Thank you. I wondered about this.
thank you for making this video. i have wondered for YEARS what those "seeds" would actually yield
Thank you, Dani! That was very informative. Won’t be buying any “orchid seeds” anytime soon. Could you give us a terrarium/aquarium tour?? Pretty please?? 😊
Man! Keare you have really nice penmanship.
Thank you so much for the information, I had no idea
Orchids actually creates a symbiotic relationship with Mycorrhizal fungus. The fungus provides water and minerals while the orchid gives sugar(glucose) to the fungus. Once you see an Orchid Protocorms, you'll notice that the grain like orchid sprouts is hanging in a silk, and that thing is actually the Mycorrhizal fungus.
I tried to harvest the seeds from my Empidendrum but, I had no idea what I was doing. Still have the pods just sitting around.
Here a scam, there a scam, everywhere a scam scam. I bought flower seeds at a grocery store twice. Each year they grew but looked like weeds. The store cannot tell either if it's a scam. Tja.
Love your sense of humor in the face of a scam!
😁😝😆
I bought celery seeds at the garden store and it grew 6 different types of basil! Shocking!
Thank u for ur Vidio..now Im start to learn to be more alert buying things from online..bye
I’m gonna guess those are celery or parsley or something. Break the leaves, mash them up, and sniff them. You’ll know what herb they are if they are an herb.
I have had a Phal orchid for about 5 years , it’s done nothing lol just barely surviving , with a couple leaves and a couple roots . Now it’s doing particularly bad , new media and good water but no change ! Who the heck knows !! Lol thanks for the videos !
Anyone else curious what these actually are, would love a 6 month update
I thought it looked like flat Italian parsley too.
FINALLY!!!!! THANK YOU.
Thank you. I saw them on ebay and was wondering about them. Glad I did no take the chance.
Thanks for enlightening us.
Happened to me too. I ordered a bunch of seeds on Wish... not all orchids but also other random looking plants. Some KINDA germinated but everything died off :C
As long as the thing sprout, you can't really blame the seller... I tried quite a lot of seller in the last 2 years and so far, the one I got the most success is Quinto dos ourisques on Ebay... Quite sad I have to buy from Portugal when there is quite a few seller here in Canada (like rarexoticseeds) but nothing sprout with them :(
@@vacciniumaugustifolium1420 Why shouldnt we blame the seller for selling fake scam seeds?! 😕
@@OG_HazelGrrl she never mentioned they were scam seeds
Hello Ms. Dani! I LOVE your videos and thank you for the content you’re always uploading. I’ve been wanting to ask for your help in regards to my Cattleya orchid. I have been noticing that one of the pseudobulbs is extremely wrinkly even after watering and now, part of it is turning black. What should I do? I don’t want my baby to die 😩 She’s supposed to be a White Bridal Cattleya and I want her to survive so badly.
It looks like a flower ive grown put before or. More likely it really looks like the lesser ragweed in my garden. I pull a lot of them lol. I learned a long time ago to not buy online. Unless its a real company.
I have done trades of heirloom seeds with an online community and had better luck finding rare/unique veg. But even then not all seed savers save meticulously. I cull off type plants and save only from certain Hardy/robust/fruit shape etc.. where some people collect every seed.
Nice channel and great advice.
So glad I found this vid, on eBay I saw duck orchid seeds but thought they might be a scam.
Haussermans orchids is a long time orchid dealer. Very reputable and they sell orders in agar and on up to full grown. It depends on how much you want to spend and how long you want to wait. I have a couple very young catt orchids I bought that are progressing well.
Thank you for posting a video on this. It's frustrating and sad to see these items show up as a "top seller".
I love your voice and your videos!!! They’re so informative. :) Btw, where did you get your shirt? I looks lovely!
*it
Do you by any chance have the vainilla planifolia orchid, my sister got me one and I'm trying to grow it out! You are so so cool thank you for your videos
Good video! 😊 i was betting they were carrot seeds. 🤣i would like to ask if it's possible to encyclia & cattleya type orchids get black spots on leaves on new growth due to repotting? Last year i repotted my dowiana and cordigera. Cordigera did not have good roots, but dowiana had. I saw similar symptons on anothers cattleyas repotted last year in spring, but not so several like dowiana. 🥺 Older leaves didn't get any spots. This year new growths do not have black spots, even if they only have a few. Orchids stay in my living room, i don't use humidifier nor i spray leaves with water. I wind the room regularly. I only spray MOG's pesticides sollution twice a year. 🥰
I don't know much about what the seedlings look like, but to me that appears to be some sort of bittercress, if I can get a picture of them when they are onder I can run it through and ID app.
I wish I could see now what the plant looks like
Yup they look just like salad greens. Keep us posted if you manage to grow some a bit bigger!
I think they are Johnny jumps or something similar (by the way I'm 11 years old and your channel is the best)
I hope I'm right
I love your channel
Awesome!
I LOVE MONKEY ORCHIDS 💛
Seed scams are very common- not just for supposed orchid seeds.
Get your seeds from a reputable seller, or a friend you trust.
They look like Marigold flowers.🤗
I tried to pollinate the orchids grown at my highschool’s garden. It worked and produce seed pod. But it is useless since i dont know how to grow them using tissue culture
Thank you for the warning ⚠️
Yep l ordered some of Wish, was more like spice , nothing germinated
So what did they turn out to be?🤔
Did these end up living? Did you ever figure out what they were?
They look like cilantro or culantro seeds and the sprout also looks like cilantro
What is the seed in the middle in the bottom? That's the one I received.
Where do we can find orchid seeds
Oh oh, I am worried. Three days ago I ordered sweet pea seeds from Etsy. Although my son who is crazy about tropical plants warned me that most seeds from Etsy and Ebay are fake, I did not listen. I figure it is not expensive so why not try. I am keeping my fingers crossed they will grow and bloom.
Hey there is app for android that can identify flowers seeds and leafs just by taking photo
i fell for this too the flying duck and monkey face both orchid seeds]
It’s kind of hard to tell at how small they are in the video, but they could be cosmo flowers.
Yup, had a friend buy me these one year. Good intentions, but ended up as turnips when grown. Sigh...
I was thinking about getting some of these to try, after watching this I don't think I'll bother. Do you know of any places or websites where you can buy legit orchid seeds? Cheers 👍
Where can I get a tray like this one 5:52 ? I'm starting to indoor gardening and until now I've been using disposable baking trays lol
Hi, at Ikea ☺️
@@MissOrchidGirl Thank you!!!
Thank you for your video you save me yo becomes a victim of the monkey scam!
strawberry?
That happens to me. However I bought "tulip seeds" and they were dasys.
Tulips are bulbs
@@aparnaeaswar5246 Yep!
Maybe the seedlings are common marigolds. They’re pretty in the garden.
Look like salvia seeds in shape and colour and so does the plant itself.
We need to start telling folks that Orchids start as spores not seed. We grow those spores in sterile agar medium in a lab. Than grow them up to bloom size which is 3-10 years depending on the orchid.
Some folks are very lucky and if they have a cool native orchids seedpod and a mossy board or tree/ rocks you can add the microscopic seed to water in a spray bottle and saturate the area with a spray bottle and let nature handle things.
This can be done with tolumnia in the bahamas. Mist a tree and it will be covered. Oncidiums in south america can be done similar. Cool right?
this is so common in the plant community, people will sell anything from No ID seeds of the same species, to completely different plant seeds, to things that arent even seeds (ive seen people being sent a bag of loose leaf tobacco sold as a plant that does not exist but was marketed as a pitcher plant with luna moth wings photoshopped onto it) And it's especially sad when you know some novice gardener or little kid is buying "rare black and white rose seeds" and getting seeds for clover or something
OK first thing the seeds that germinated are dicots orchids are monocots. Orchid seeds do have a seed coat but lack endosperm the food resevere most seeds have, Yes you can have orchid seed germinate without doing the lab process but for most orchids you are lucky to get one seedling. I remember in college there was a how to grow orchids book that pre-dated Knudson-C media. I n the calendar of orchid care there was a note to trim your live sphagnum moss in anticipation of your seed pods ripening.
The following orchids I have had volunteer in the nursery. Spathoglottis pilcata, these are almost weeds, Bamboo orchids Arundina graminifolia, once again an almost weedy plant,. Now for the fun stuff Epidendrum nocturum Nice to go into your shade house and see these growing in a stag horn mount. Cyrtopodium punctatum some of these came up where the wood joints of the greenhouse benches were rotting. Jewel orchids Ludisia discolor I tried to set seed pods on this species first you need two different clones and thing I didn't realize is the pods can burst in less than a month the result were quite a few phals that had baby jewel orchids coming up in them. Habenaria rhodochelia second verse same as the first pods mature in about a month so the result was the next year some phals had them blooming in the pot. Paphiopedilum bellatulum we had brought in some of these from Thailand that had some seed pods on them and next thing I noticed was seedlings here and there among the other paphs.
The main reason the lab method is used is the quantity of seedlings produced is so much greater. Remember the Cyrtopdium punctatum I had two or three seedlings volunteer, A seed pod taken from the the same plant produced hundreds of seedlings if not thousands of seedlings in the lab. Just for a little advice if you are tempted to buy legit orchid seeds. Say you want a Dendrobium cruentum you find a listing on Ebay from Thailand offering seed another person in Thailand will sell you a flask with around 30 platelets in it for say $30 for the flask and $40 for the air parcel post. Looked it up you can buy one as a mount from H&R orchids in Hawaii for $25. For most people the best deal would be to buy the plant from the Hawaiian Nursery. Dry seed is the most iffy way to get orchid plants started and that is dealing with people that are honest. Orchid flasks if you have space and time for a lot of plants to grow and of course a flask shipped internationally will have to be potted into com pots ASAP. since even if it isn't all shaken up there is a real chance of it being cotaminated after all the changes of air pressure while in transit.
Right now the only maybe people selling real orchid seed on eBay are in Eastern Europe selling native orchid seed. If they are legit that is not a beginner project , IIRC there is chilling involved and special media needed Enough of my rant for now.
I would buy them to see what would grow
So if we have to propagate the seeds in a lab, how does the orchid do this in the wild??
With the help of some symbiotic fungi that live in the same habitat ☺️
I am in australia same deal,i just got a pot full of weeds, e bay has been informed by lots of people, includes professional orchid growers ,responce from ebay, nothing.thanks from keith hamilton.
I have always wanted to know what these seeds actually are haha
I have 4 pack of those seeds what the hell are they and why wont they grow
💚💚
Those seedlings look like Schizanthus AKA 'poor man's orchids' which is probably how they still get to sell them as an 'orchid'.
We grow hundreds of schizanthus at work every year, so i'm familiar with the seedlings
They are beautiful annuals. I just accidently bought some orchid seeds but would be happy if they turned out to be Schizanthus🙂
It baffles me that people would buy seeds online without doing any research into how to cultivate and grow that type of plant. Probably people like my mum who just buy plants at the shop that they like the look of and then have no idea how to care for them. That's how we ended up with a pitcher plant that I immediately advised her to return for a hoya because I have no experience with carnivorous plants and neither does she!
I'm late to the game, but I tried my luck. In just a few days, I was blessed with many seedlings od something. Whatever they are, I will continue to let them grow. If they are houseplants, great! If they are garden plants or herbs, still great. We grow many plants in our family. I'm just glad they have grown into seedlings.
What were they?
@@Wykesidefruitmachine the grew like grass and died!
Miss Orchid, when u buy the orchids on garden store, pls send to the ur U tube I’m watching ur Channel.
I ordered monkey face orchard seeds that arrived here today and ended up with Bachelor's Button 😭 is there a genuine authentic company that you would recommend that I could get it from please
After trial and error I always check my sellers now I don't buy from wish or ebay. And avoid places like China. After a while I found some reputable sellers I constantly ask and check inventory on because these scams are so common!
Danny you still have one draculla 🥰 my friend just got some orchid "seeds". Unfortunately, she got scammed.
OMG I bought cactus seeds on ebay, and now I’m wondering if they are real. ☹️
Hello! I believe these are celery seed! :)
Ok. Now I must have a Dracula Orchid. I simply must.
Hi Danny. Maybe you have the makings of a beanstalk, “Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread !! 🤓. Jack and the beanstalk.
🤣🤣🤣
Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum--ask not whence the thunder comes,
For between heaven and earth, it's a perilous place, home to a fearsome giant race,
who hunger to conquer the mortals below, waiting for the seeds of revenge to grow." Jack the Giant Slayer 😁
those look like marigold seedlings
Yes but the seeds look nothing like it.
I got some from amazon and ebay... Scam 😭
I thought they were grown in incubators
Me en canto
Tomato or parsley
they look like arugula seeds to me.
i get my cactus seeds at the botanical garden, buying online is not what i‘d do
I've seen seeds on eBay that included blue roses, blue tulips, holographic daisies, venus fly traps ( with eyes!) , the glow plants from avatar......
When you go to the reviews , "Sir, my plants did not grow. What is wrong?"
the replies are "Buy more you must follow the instructions EXACTLY, we are not responsible for customers that refuse to follow instructions properly"
And there are also a few fake reviews saying how happy they are with the results.
Earliest I’ve ever been!
They look like weeds I pull out of the garden like Tansy seedlings. One thing to think about, you shouldn’t introduce seeds without provenance to your garden because you may introduce bacteria and diseases that could have a detrimental effect in your area. That’s how Ash and Oak tree die back has happened in Europe. 🌸
Her name looks like a different spelling for carrie or kerry
They look like poppy seeds ,
The seedlings look like cosmo
My mom also bought orchid seeds and also a scam it grew grass
