Mine was supposed to be the hot pink but we won't know it was one that never servived. She will be replaced this spring and I hope that she is the hot pink. I really want see those beautiful blooms.
I know, Sandie 😞😘 and I am so sorry that this was one of the ones you lost! Know that, I have my fingers crossed that the hot pink comes into your life and that you will have a lot of joy seeing the blooms 👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Tran 🤗💐 Hola... thank you very much for watching! I apologize for the late reply... for some reason your comment was being 'held for review' and I think it is because of the hashtag... so.. sorry for responding so late! Have a wonderful Sunday!! 🌸
Hey Andre 🤩💐 I got your emailand immediately sent it to Honeybees and Orchids, responded to you to let you know that it was forwarded.... and have already posted it on my Community wall. All within 5 minutes of receiving your email 😅 😬great orchid you have there and I hope that you will be super happy with it! Thank you for sharing your pic, Andre and for watching this video. Mine is in bloom right now and I just LOVE it! Have a great day 🥰🌸
Glennda! hi! 🤩💐 how wonderful to see you here and welcome! I have not seen you before, so, I am going to take advantage straight away, to extend a warm welcome 🤗💐 thank you so much for being here and for watching this video 🤗 I appreciate your feedback as well and... congratulations on your Hibiki, you have already seen it for yourself, you will not regret buying this orchid. It is a beautifully rewarding and vigorous orchid with an incredible bloom duration! So... enjoy your Hibiki! Mine is coming into bloom again and I am loving the hot pink and orange in my Blooming Alley! Such a fun little Den 👍🏼👍🏼 Hope to see you more often! Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday 🌸
Hi Stephen 🤗💐 I am happy that you have it as well!! I hope that it is doing well and growing new growths! 👍🏼 Mine is still in bloom and is starting on new growths as well ... love me these kinds of orchids 😬 thank you so much for watching this video, Stephen!! 😍🌸
Mircea!! 🤩🤗💐 Thank you so much for watching this video!! I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful start to your week.... your videos are always so beautiful, I appreciate that you come over to see mine!! 🌸
Sandie!! 🤗💐 you won't regret it!! It is such a 'Need to Please' orchid, and is included in a video of the same title coming soon to a channel near you 😉 Have a wonderful Sunday, and thank you so much for watching!! 🌸
Hi Nina! Great video. I have a den. laevifolium and I agree the color is one of my favorites as well. I have passed opportunities by to purchase a Hibiki because I thought the flowers were so similar to my laevifolium. But, now I am thinking I want to see the bright orange contrast of the hot pink on a bigger plant. Laevifolium is a miniature cool grower, so I find it so interesting that a hybrid of it does well with heat. I grow mine under lights with my Masdevallias and it does great. It is usually in bloom for 3-5 months as well. It sounds like the Hibiki got the best from both parents. How lovely!
Ange!! 🤗💐 Hi!! So good to see you again! 😊 How interesting to read about your growing experience with the laevifolium... super interesting! Thank you for sharing that! Does the laevifolium have any fragrance? I mean, I don't want to be greedy or anything 😆 the Hibiki is such a giving orchid, so, I should not fuss about fragrance, but just curious if any of the parents have a fragrance! Thank you for your kind feedback regarding this video! I really appreciate it, especially as it was a request, so...I appreciate hearing that I didn't both it up! 😬 I also appreciate you watching this video!! Muchas gracias! 🤗🌸
there is a bracteosum (well, they haven't really decided if it is bracteosum var tanii or a separate species called tanii) that is pink but has a purple column with just the tip red-orange. Obviously the normal (white) form of bracteosum is used in the cross because of that orange column. I happen to think the blooms on bracteosum are stunning, pure white and sparkly (and I mean sparkly, in the sun it is like sun reflecting off newly fallen snow) with that bright orange column.
Michael McCarthy mmmhhh ... that sparkly stuff... I like sparkly stuff! 😬 maybe one I need to look into with greater detail, if it can live outside with temps down to 41°F it will be on a list, definitely! Thank you so very much for being here! 📖 📚🤩🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I don't have one myself but there is one mounted outside my local orchid nursery. We go down to 41, sometimes a little less, a few times in the winter and hers is fine. It did drop all of its leaves last winter when we got down to 37 with a 24 wind chill, but normally a few cold nights don't bother it. Now if it is 41 for days into weeks, that might be a different story. I mean, you could always bring it in for a short bit if needed, right?
This orchid so inspires me. I think I would really get this orchid when I can as I know it would do well for me. Love your orchid/s as you do well. I am learning so much from you. Amazing. Have a great weekend and enjoy orchids. Take care and be safe.
Kim!!! 🤗💐 So good to see you!! 🥰 This one is definitely something that just adds to a collection... simply because it does what it does and then blooms for such a long time! And it gives us keikis which are easy to grow on as well 😃 Thank you so very much for your kind feedback! It really is motivating and I am so glad that I am able to pass on useful information! The best!! 🥰🌸
This is a great video! Love your presentation. I got a small-sized hibiki almost a year and a half ago with it's first flush of blooms in June this year and, as of today, it's still in flower. This month it has even put out a new bloom cluster so it's going strong! The flowers are a bright/electric pink as yours. Because of my location I can't keep orchids outside. It's been sitting in a north/east window - bright shade - with some direct sun at times. There is no anthocyanin visible on the leaves. They are deep dark green. But, like you, I've seen pictures of paler flowered hibiki on the web. I don't know what to attribute that to, but since I see no sign of anthocyanin I'm kind of unclear why mine develop such saturated flowers. On another topic, I need to repot it but don't know when the best time to do this is. It's in its original pot w/small bark etc.. which is showing signs of breaking down. Roots an new canes actively growing. Thoughts? Thanks for your very thoughtful analysis and information.
Hello Sej 🤗💐 I am so glad to hear feedback like your's regarding Hibiki and flower color intensity in combination with leaf color.... it was a guess and I had nothing to base that assumption on, but... i am glad that if I were to be asked about it again, then I know its not necessarily the case to have the hot pink blooms! Awesome! Thank you very much 👍🏼 mine is still in bloom as well.... superb hybrid yo say the least! As you are growing in a controlled environment, I would repot considering the current ongoings with your Hibiki. The blooms won't fail on you because the canes store rhe energy to uphold them... the new roots are the perfect sign to repot, regardless of time of year. Mine is,also starting new growths, but I dont see signs of new roots yet, so I'm.holding off.... once I see new roots, it has to be rejuvenated regardless of time of year, blooms or not. Thank you, once again for your much appreciated feedback 😊 i hope my nudge to repot and why resonates with you. If you have any follow up questions.... ask away! Thank you so much for watching! 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thanks so much for clarification on my repot question. Now I feel more confident regarding this. You have an amazing ability to impart information in your videos (and I mean that sincerely). I will be catching up on more of them as time allows. So glad I found you! xo

Hi. It was a very useful video. I am having problems with the growth of my hibiki. Is it possible for me to send u a pic of my plant so that u can take a look at it? Thks. LILIA
Hi Lilia 🤗💐 absolutely, yes... let's see if I can have a look see and troubleshoot with you. My email is ninjaorchids@gmail in case you didn't see it in the description ... thank you for finding my video and getting in touch 🌸
Helloooo 🦒, Nina and hibiki !!! One of the flashier Dendrobium and easy to care for. Mine will soon open its buds, very excited about that, they are a must have, no doubt. Thank you for the information and advices NIna, they are always welcome. Keep them coming !!! Happy sun-day amiga querida, love you 💖🤗
FFF 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 Wishing you a wonderful Sunday as well!! Looking forward to seeing your blooms featured on a video 🤞🏼 I love this little den! The colors are right up my alley in form of vibrancy and so very long lasting! I hope that you are doing well, and are able to take it easy today! We are currently pushing 40ºC 😆 But I LOVE IT! ❤️
@@NinjaOrchids Goodness 🦒🦒 !!! 40ºC? Today 23ºC here, will go up to 26/27C next week, maybe 😊 Would like it a bit warmer but when I go to Lisbon and get 35 or more, I feel happy to live here. Very comfortable 18ºC at night !!! When I lived in Lisbon it was very hard to sleep with the heat !!! But you are an african born, very used to heat. In that hou must feel like a fish in the pond 🐠🐟😍🤗
Temperature wise, I am now completely in my element! My daughter 'warned' me about the rising temps 2 days ago! And I did a fist pump.... she then asked, good because of the orchids? And I said, no... good because of ME! It's a bit too much for the 'chids... but I LOVE IT!! Swimming in warm air 🐳
Hi!! 🤩💐 I LOVE this orchid! so reliable, and I find that it is a non fuss one. The mealies like it too, but they are easily controlled. Really ... I hope that you find one because, you will not regret it, ever!! And when you do.... let me know if you would like me to add you to the CareCollab list for this orchid 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I wish you a fabulous Saturday 🌸
Very nice! My Hibiki is in bloom now and I know it will be in bloom for few months. That's why I love it :) Mine has purple splotches on some leaves because of high light...
Hello!! 🤗💐 Its how long the blooms last, the color of the canes, the leaves, the ease of care... the keikis... everything about this orchid is just 'right'!! Thank you so very much for watching this video!! Have a wonderful Sunday!! 🌸
Penny!! 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 How are you, gorgeous lady?? This is really psychedelic and I love it! Also the canes go pink etc... Very easy little dendrobium, it doesn't get big... but, the flowers are not white.... still, maybe something for you to think about? Hope you are having a wonderful day!! Huggos!! 🥰🌸
@@NinjaOrchids when feeling better I will see if I can find one. Also, soon will take pics of my Penelope and send to you. I saw this morning that 2 of the leaves that always standing straight up are tilting backwards. Woe is me. Am falling behind in many things. xxx and soon will send pics. Things I need for Pen simply aren't anywhere I could find. I am discouraged. Even more so that now Missouri has been named a "hot zone" of covid. So many lives have been lost due to the pandemic. And now I worry big time for my beloved Germany. Will email more when feeling better. YOU and yours stay safe. Take NO risks.xx😘❤😘❤🎷🔍
Cheery!! 🤗💐 How kind of you to watch two videos in one day!! Thank you so very much!! I look forward to you having a Hibiki in your collection as well... you will absolutely love it 🥰🌸
I love Dendro Hibiki so much, bought a young plant, probably a keiki, but it is so slow. I want to buy a mature, so thank you for this video in particular 👍🏼
Helloooo. 🤗💐 You are very welcome, my absolute pleasure looking at these blooms while they burned my eyes out with their brilliance!! 🤩 Thank YOU for watching!! My Hibiki took a year to 'take off' and become so vigorous... Also, first time to have such gorgeous pink canes.... so, if you cannot find a maturer Hibiki... give it a little more time! 🌸
Marcus!! 🤗💐 What a pleasure to make your acquaintance!! 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🙌🏼 Thank you so very much for watching this video and leaving me a comment! I really appreciate seeing your name pop up! Philippines huh? I consider that country orchid growing heaven! I hope that you can find this Hibiki... it really is worth having a look to see if you can get it! 🌸
A very pretty dendrobium! And clearly she loves your care! I just “harvested” some dendrobium keikis myself today 😄 now I feel like a farmer 👩🌾 I don’t mind that!
Danielle 🥰😃💐 I know right? And it is not even Thanksgiving, and here we are harvesting keikis! 😆 I love it!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!! 🌸
Hi Nina, a timely video. I have an Hibiki and I think it has been to dry. I think I will try self watering. My plant is small but I think it may be going to bloom. I hope mine looks as nice as yours one day! 🦒💌🌸😊
Hello!! 😻💐 that is great to know that this video was of help! If Gloria had not asked, I would not have done a care video, because I thought 'everyone knows this one'... still... they do not grow big, but your canes should get to 8 inches... so, I do not know if you say your's is still small, and what size the canes are... my full grown canes are 8 inches. Something I did not mention in the video and maybe could be useful as a comparison 🤗 Thank you so very much for watching!! 🌸
Hello my friend 💐😇 She is beautiful and vibrant. So you don’t think she needs a cool down in winter, just hold fertilizer? I could do that!!! 😏 Once it gets cold here, I have to take all of mine inside and the temperature stays constant. I didn’t get my mobile right last winter and she produced all keikis. No bueno! 😩 I’ll try something different this winter ❄️ 🥶 Thanks for the info. Take care 🌸🧚🏼♂️
Number 5! 🤗💐🤸🏼♀️ my orchid buddy!! No... no winter rest at all, except hold off on fertilizer when not growing. My hibiki comes inside in the winter nights as well as soon as temperatures drop below 55ºF... but full winter sun when outside. Nobiles, they will bless you with keikis 😆 even though we want blooms!! 😬 Maybe hold off on fertilising your nobile once it has stopped growing and only introduce fertlizer once you see buds actually forming, not at the nubbin swelling stage. I don't want to insert myself in how you care for your 'chids, but thought maybe throw in a helpful hint 🤗 Thank you so very much for watching!! Have a wonderful Sunday!! 🌸
Ninja_Orchids Hi Nina! I merely a Padawan to orchids. ⭐️ I appreciate any and all advice from you. What about when the nobile has growth( new canes) nubbins? I think mine are all confused, as am I, as to what and when She is supposed to grow buds or growths. My fault I’m sure. 🤦♀️ This particular nobile was probably a specimen size plant when I got her and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with her. I proceeded to cut 🔪 her in two. I planted both large halves in Leca (nice root growth) for the winter ❄️. In spring, she started throwing keikis on every node so I unpotted her and put one half in orchiata and I mounted the other half. 🤦♀️ Now I’m thinking 🤔 maybe I should put them both back in Leca again. 🤸🏽🤸🏽🤸🏽♀️. Part of me says “leave her alone.” Sorry for the long story. Any advise would be appreciated. 🥴 Take Care!!
When the nobile is in active growth regardless of season, then do as if nothing is different... fertilize and water to make those new canes as big as possible. If they want to grow late into the season, and winter temps come along, then they may not grow to normal full potential, but that will only happen 1 year... those canes will still bloom when they are ready to (even if out of season) just treat the nobile in accordance to what it is doing, not what the season says. Chances are, it is not acclimatized and will adjust within the next year. Leave the one in orchiata, and take the mounted one off IF there is new root growth... if it is not growing anything at the base (not including keikis) then leave it mounted until something happens at the base. Then switch to leca if you want to. BUT, as you have keikis growing let them grow roots that are long enough before potting them up, approx 4 inches.. try those in leca when the time comes. You have 3 options to test what will work best for the coming months... awesome! Those keikis will bloom ... its going to be quite the show when you 3 nobile versions bloom! Fantastic!! 🌸
Hi Nina! Very timely video for me again! Love the close ups and the culture information. I bought this one this spring and it is considerably smaller than yours of course but I already enjoy those bright pink canes.
Anne!! 🥰💐 The thank you goes to Gloria and I really appreciate that she asked for a video of this nature... I would not have thought of doing a care video about it, 'everyone knows this one' ... well, clearly Gloria knew better 😃 I love the pink canes... this year, my canes are pinker than ever. I did not mention that my canes were 20cm long, and they wont get bigger than that... just as a comparison, as you say your's is still small! Enjoy those blooms ... they will be around a long time... a great little Den!! Have a wonderful Sunday and thank you so much for watching! 🌸
Lovely and informative video! I recently got a hibiki and am very happy with it. It has adapted to leca extremely easily and is in bud currently. Thanks for the update and care tips . Have a wonderful weekend and happy growing!
Mary!! 🤗💐 You are very welcome! If it wasn't for Gloria asking, I would not have thought to do a care video on Hibiki, because 'everyone knows this one'.... I am so glad that she asked, and that you enjoyed some care tips here and there! They are gorgeous little orchids! I love mine and have been able to share it because of the keikis it produces... they are also so very easy to grow on! So glad to know you enjoyed this and thank you so much for watching!! Enjoy your blooms when they open! Wear shades 😎😆🌸
You are very welcome! 🤗💐 I would not have done a care video for this one, if Gloria hadn't asked me to.... so, your comment really is nice to read, and that it hopefully helps you in making a decision to get it? 😊 Thank you so very much for watching! I hope you do get one!! 😉🌸
Hi 😍💐 I am glad that you enjoyed the video and once again, thank YOU for taking me up on the link and watching 🫶🏼 I am really excited to see what you do and how things work out 😃 hope you are waking up to a sparkling Saturday 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Sandie 🤩💐 Half the mass in the pot as you see in the video, and 2 mature canes. It pretty much bloomed for me in the next bloom cycle after I got it. From my favorite nursery, Grossräschener Orchideen. Thank you so much for going back to watch this video, Sandie 😍 hope you had a wonderful day and are ready to relax into the evening 🌸
Thanks a millon Nina for the Hibiki video I transplanted the keikis this morning in leca and 1 strand of micro fibre, I lost the mother plant that came in moss, it bloomed for 4 months and is the same color as yours, fucia and orange, but them the roots became brown. My apartment is very dry because of the AC, should I spray the top layer or just keep the strand wet ?
Gloria!! 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤗💐 so glad that you found this video useful!! Not sure if I covered everything and answered your questions, but... I would spray the surface for the coming 2 weeks and keep that microfiber moist at all times. Its ok to spray the top only 1x a day, but don't let the microfiber dry out until your roots are going down into the leca and are a bit more established. Also, if you can, flush clean water through every 3 days ... this pulls oxygen into the leca which is great for root development! Let me know (in any video, coming up) how things go with your hibiki.. any questions, observations you want to run by me... it doesn't have to be on this comment section... 🥰🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thank you Nina , I transplanted and flushed after 3 days, in the other keiki I put lava rock , leca and sphagnum on the top will see which one survive.
Oomura pronounce “oh-muh-ra” If it’s Japanese... and probably is. Somebody’s last name. Fragrance? Pink usually doesn’t too much for me but if it’s fragrant...
Yoshi San!! Thank you so very much for the pronunciation! 👏🏼👍🏼 No fragrance at all, Yoshi.... super long lasting blooms, up to 5 months ... amazing, but no fragrance! Thank you so much for watching!! 🌸
This is getting silly 😄. I don't know if you remember me saying that your videos are coming out exactly when I need them, eg the lava rock video came out just as my first delivery of it arrived and today my first Hibicki arrived. I had some seaweed/CalMag ready for it but on your advice the other day I was ready to let it settle in until I see new roots, mind you there are aerial roots all over the place 🙄. Now I will settle down to watch this video and am looking forward to being a bit more confident in how to treat her 😀
HI Carole 😍💐 I love silly when it make sense like in these situations 😅 I do remember, and I love it when it happens... seems like there some kind of telepathy going on, and long may it continue 👍🏼 someone had a LOT of humidity where it came from, because, I don't have any aerial roots on mine, and never actually thought it would grow them... now I know!! Interesting 👍🏼 if you are in doubt ... always feel free to ask any follow up questions. Just let me know more about your grow environment and temperatures etc. Every recent video has the Orchid Details Help Form pinned at the top, this video aired before the Help Form came into being. Congratulations on your Hibiki... you are in for one heck of a treat 😍😍 thank you so much for watching, Carole! I hope your day was awesome 🌸
Hai Nina. Very attractive bunch of dendro and very nice bloom! Is D. Hibiki a hard cane type or soft like Nobile? I live in tropical place with temp around 27-34 d.celsius. Is it possible to grow and bloom this D. Hibiki? Tq.
Hi there 🤩💐 welcome!! I have not seen you here before, so, a warm warm welcome and a massive thank you for being here, I really appreciate it! I love your climate and am already jealous of you living in those temperatures! I come from Kenya 😬 those were my temperatures!! Hibiki is a soft cane, like the nobiles. They will do well in your climate and conditions. They do not need a winter cool down to bloom, they are continuous growers, which makes them a little different from nobiles. So... if you can find one, I can only encourage you to get this amazing little performer into your collection! I LOVE my Hibiki and am glad that I have it! Thank you so much for watching, and once again, welcome! 🥰🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Hai Nina. Rosli here. Thank you very much for the prompt reply and very warm welcome. I am newbie in "orchid world" and found your video days ago (very inspiring and informative) Ya i am from Malaysia. Located slightly above Equator. Warm and humid here. Dua to that, I am looking info about growing orchid in hot wether. And not all orchid suit my country's climate especially hybrid one. (So jealous to those stay in 4 seasons country, there can grow any orchid even in living room hahaha) Sorry for long reply.
Hi Rosli 🤩 Oh dear... the grass is always greener on the other side, no? I am attaching a link to my orchid history if you would be interested and have not seen the video yet ua-cam.com/video/3Ap_RRZn8II/v-deo.html. also, a link to a selection of orchids that will do well in your climate (maybe not the nobile orchid, but Hibiki is included in this list)... you may see similar orchids available to the ones I show here, even if you don't find the exact same ones ua-cam.com/video/qBkv352rE4U/v-deo.html hybrid cattleyas will love your climate, as will Brassavolas, vandas, ascocentrum, christnetias (mini vandas), renantheras... just to name a few. Always feel free to ask any questions and if I can help, I will be happy to do so 👍🏼
@@NinjaOrchids hi. Sorry for late reply. You are right. We have very green grass everywhere and they grow fast too. Even bushes and forests here are dark green. Thank you for the video links. I will find time to watch it and leave comment there. I appreciated your suggestion on orchids that suit my climate here. I do have dendro sp and hybrids, vanda, catasetum, cymbidium sp and schomburgkia sp. But lately, i found myself easily attracted to dwarf and bunches type of orchid in the internet. Hibiki is one of it. Haha. The biggest problem is those orchids are not suitable for warm low land place. I cant afford a green house to grow them.
The leaves on my new Hibiki are kind of thin and floppy. It has a keiki on one of the canes and it's making its own cane. I wrapped the roots with some sphagnum moss today. I have yet to repot it.
Hi Joe 😍💐 sounds like your Hibiki is acclimating. The leaves are stiff when all is growing well, they have a lot of flex to them, so don't worry too much. Just don't expose your's to the high light it could tolerate just yet. I have never had keikis on mine... sometimes I wish I did, but no dice! Mine is stressed this year, so I am not letting it bloom. It had a massive divide operation 2 years ago, then a fungus issue last year, so... as the blooms are so long lasting it takes a lot out of the orchid, and for that reason, I am going to pop off all the bloom clusters. I am gutted to not be able to have these beautiful blooms around for the coming months, but the orchid will be better off just getting it's energy reserves back. Thank you so much for watching, Joe! Have yourself a fabYOUlous Friday 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Nina, very pretty hibiki! May I ask you why my dendrobium hibiki's leaves turn reddish on their tips? Was it because of too much water or too little?
HI Priscilla 🤩💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here, I appreciate it very much 🫶🏼 If your hibiki leaves otherwise look healthy and have a good shine to them, then the tips may be going reddish because they are getting adequate light. If however, they were exposed to too cold temperatures, they may be showing reddish coloring because of the same anthocyanin showing that the temps were a little too low. If they are going reddish and then turning dry, it may be your humidity is a little low, so the tips are drying out. This won't affect the health of the rest of the leaves, just a secondary side effect of low humidity. However, something tells me that your hibiki is showing signs she is getting good light and that is awesome. If the whole leaf goes reddish, then as in some of my leaves, it won't hurt the orchid either. Just keep an eye out for the light levels in that case because you don't want the leaves to burn 👍🏼 hope this was helpful in some way! Thank you so much for watching and once again, welcome 🫶🏼🌸
Hi Ninja how do you fertilise your hibiki as I've just got 1 a month ago,i can see a budding as you showed in your. Waiting yo see what coli8it produce. I await yoyr response on fertiliser. Thanks
Hi Jean 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you in the comments before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank you so much for watching and thirdly... congratulations on getting your hands on this wonderful hybrid! I hope that you enjoy growing this amazing orchid 🙌🏼🥳 I have a video as to what I do when I get new orchids in, and even though you have had your's a month already, I will leave the link here for you, in case you are interested to have a look see! ua-cam.com/video/5IRPutcCvIw/v-deo.html please remember that every orchid needs to acclimate to the new environment it finds itself in. So, the best way to help it out during any stress post shipping and during the acclimating phase, is to give it CalMag and seaweed to start with, which is what I suggest in the linked video. Depending on if your Hibiki acclimates without having any time delay during it's growth phase, new growths will start at the base relatively soon, even while the orchid is pushing buds and is in bloom. So, those will need to be supported by calcium and fertilizer. Please let me know the size of your orchid, so that I can better pin point the quantities for your specific case. Also, what is your choice of media. Any information you can provide, will make it better for me to answer with more specifics! I hope that you are having a wonderful week and once again, Jean, welcome 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thanks for the reply my hibiki came in moss and ir looked new do I placed the pot in water and its doing well. I saw a video that its vest to keep it in water. And I read it's grafting parents are from area where it's alway wet. Anyway I've watched and liked your videos but never commented until this time. How do you mix the calmag and seaweed please.
@@jeandaly7585 I hope you are happy with what you received. So, while Hibikis like a lot of water during their active growth period, as your's is in moss, please do not let it stand in water. The moss is so water retentive, it has plenty of moisture around the roots with that substrate 👍🏼 the orchid needs to adapt to your conditions, your lifestyle and if that means it will be a little less wet, then so be it. Just maintain the moss damp. Only add water when the moss is just at the point of drying out, and keep in mind, that, the lower third of the pot, in the centre, is the last to go dry. The humidity provided by the moss in the pot will help the roots before the next watering. Here is a video for the CalMag / Seaweed mixing. ua-cam.com/video/5IRPutcCvIw/v-deo.html let me know if you have any questions or observations that you would like to bring to my attention, even if it is under a video that has nothing to do with your question. I appreciate you for liking all the videos, before you commented. Also, thank you so much for watching! The support is a God send 🫶🏼❤🌸
Hi Ann 😍💐 yes! Your intuition is correct! Put it into a humidity chamber, but not totally sealed of from fresh air. A little moss at the base, keep that moss damp, not wet, but damp at all times and give it good light so that something will trigger growth. How many canes do you have? How long have you had it? I would not pot it up just yet. If you want to double up and ensure that there won't be any vulnerable growth touching the damp moss, risking rot, place a tiny bit of perlite on the moss before place your hibiki in the chamber. Leave the top open 👍🏼 Let me know if this helps any at all and KEEP me posted for any eventualities you need a second opinion on! Thank you so much for watching, Ann!! Have a great start to your day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
😍HI Sandie 💐 hot pink!!! Woohooo!! My newest canes are also pretty short. Low light levels are the reason for mine to not have made it to size. With your's I am pretty sure that it is time related. With your conditions, your canes will grow a little taller in time 👍🏼 happy to hear that you have HOT pink! That is awesome! Thank you so much for watching, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸

Hi Nina, I received my hibiki 5 days ago, now I have to learn how to take care of it. I sent you a photo. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Hey Andre 🤩💐 I got your emailand immediately sent it to Honeybees and Orchids, responded to you to let you know that it was forwarded.... and have already posted it on my Community wall. All within 5 minutes of receiving your email 😅 😬great orchid you have there and I hope that you will be super happy with it! Thank you for sharing your pic, Andre and for watching this video. Mine is in bloom right now and I just LOVE it! Have a great day 🥰🌸
Thank you, very, very informative. I bought this orchid 2 days ago. I fed it and it appear to have noticible growth overnight. I love it.
Glennda! hi! 🤩💐 how wonderful to see you here and welcome! I have not seen you before, so, I am going to take advantage straight away, to extend a warm welcome 🤗💐 thank you so much for being here and for watching this video 🤗 I appreciate your feedback as well and... congratulations on your Hibiki, you have already seen it for yourself, you will not regret buying this orchid. It is a beautifully rewarding and vigorous orchid with an incredible bloom duration! So... enjoy your Hibiki! Mine is coming into bloom again and I am loving the hot pink and orange in my Blooming Alley! Such a fun little Den 👍🏼👍🏼 Hope to see you more often! Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday 🌸
Great video Nina 👍 happy I got this one now 😁
Hi Stephen 🤗💐 I am happy that you have it as well!! I hope that it is doing well and growing new growths! 👍🏼 Mine is still in bloom and is starting on new growths as well ... love me these kinds of orchids 😬 thank you so much for watching this video, Stephen!! 😍🌸
@@NinjaOrchids it's doing ok just one new growth on it so it's a start ain't it really not as big as yours tho Nina 😘
Thank you so much for sharing such an informative video.
Hi Sanjay 🤩💐Thank YOU for taking me up on my offer to have a look see at this video, and for your kind feedback 👍🏼
It is a wonderful flower
Mircea!! 🤩🤗💐 Thank you so much for watching this video!! I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful start to your week.... your videos are always so beautiful, I appreciate that you come over to see mine!! 🌸
Hibiki is on my list to get.
Sandie!! 🤗💐 you won't regret it!! It is such a 'Need to Please' orchid, and is included in a video of the same title coming soon to a channel near you 😉 Have a wonderful Sunday, and thank you so much for watching!! 🌸
Love that color ma'am and thinking to add that in my collections.
Hi Angel 🤗💐 I am so glad that you are having a look at other videos, welcome!! Thank you so very much!! 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids your most welcome madam.
Hi Nina! Great video. I have a den. laevifolium and I agree the color is one of my favorites as well. I have passed opportunities by to purchase a Hibiki because I thought the flowers were so similar to my laevifolium. But, now I am thinking I want to see the bright orange contrast of the hot pink on a bigger plant. Laevifolium is a miniature cool grower, so I find it so interesting that a hybrid of it does well with heat. I grow mine under lights with my Masdevallias and it does great. It is usually in bloom for 3-5 months as well. It sounds like the Hibiki got the best from both parents. How lovely!
Ange!! 🤗💐 Hi!! So good to see you again! 😊 How interesting to read about your growing experience with the laevifolium... super interesting! Thank you for sharing that! Does the laevifolium have any fragrance? I mean, I don't want to be greedy or anything 😆 the Hibiki is such a giving orchid, so, I should not fuss about fragrance, but just curious if any of the parents have a fragrance! Thank you for your kind feedback regarding this video! I really appreciate it, especially as it was a request, so...I appreciate hearing that I didn't both it up! 😬 I also appreciate you watching this video!! Muchas gracias! 🤗🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Sadly, no fragrance. : )
there is a bracteosum (well, they haven't really decided if it is bracteosum var tanii or a separate species called tanii) that is pink but has a purple column with just the tip red-orange. Obviously the normal (white) form of bracteosum is used in the cross because of that orange column. I happen to think the blooms on bracteosum are stunning, pure white and sparkly (and I mean sparkly, in the sun it is like sun reflecting off newly fallen snow) with that bright orange column.
Michael McCarthy mmmhhh ... that sparkly stuff... I like sparkly stuff! 😬 maybe one I need to look into with greater detail, if it can live outside with temps down to 41°F it will be on a list, definitely! Thank you so very much for being here! 📖 📚🤩🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I don't have one myself but there is one mounted outside my local orchid nursery. We go down to 41, sometimes a little less, a few times in the winter and hers is fine. It did drop all of its leaves last winter when we got down to 37 with a 24 wind chill, but normally a few cold nights don't bother it. Now if it is 41 for days into weeks, that might be a different story. I mean, you could always bring it in for a short bit if needed, right?
I could... but... 😬 it is still interesting to consider!
This orchid so inspires me. I think I would really get this orchid when I can as I know it would do well for me. Love your orchid/s as you do well. I am learning so much from you. Amazing. Have a great weekend and enjoy orchids. Take care and be safe.
Kim!!! 🤗💐 So good to see you!! 🥰 This one is definitely something that just adds to a collection... simply because it does what it does and then blooms for such a long time! And it gives us keikis which are easy to grow on as well 😃 Thank you so very much for your kind feedback! It really is motivating and I am so glad that I am able to pass on useful information! The best!! 🥰🌸
This is a great video! Love your presentation. I got a small-sized hibiki almost a year and a half ago with it's first flush of blooms in June this year and, as of today, it's still in flower. This month it has even put out a new bloom cluster so it's going strong! The flowers are a bright/electric pink as yours. Because of my location I can't keep orchids outside. It's been sitting in a north/east window - bright shade - with some direct sun at times. There is no anthocyanin visible on the leaves. They are deep dark green. But, like you, I've seen pictures of paler flowered hibiki on the web. I don't know what to attribute that to, but since I see no sign of anthocyanin I'm kind of unclear why mine develop such saturated flowers.
On another topic, I need to repot it but don't know when the best time to do this is. It's in its original pot w/small bark etc.. which is showing signs of breaking down. Roots an new canes actively growing. Thoughts? Thanks for your very thoughtful analysis and information.
Hello Sej 🤗💐 I am so glad to hear feedback like your's regarding Hibiki and flower color intensity in combination with leaf color.... it was a guess and I had nothing to base that assumption on, but... i am glad that if I were to be asked about it again, then I know its not necessarily the case to have the hot pink blooms! Awesome! Thank you very much 👍🏼 mine is still in bloom as well.... superb hybrid yo say the least! As you are growing in a controlled environment, I would repot considering the current ongoings with your Hibiki. The blooms won't fail on you because the canes store rhe energy to uphold them... the new roots are the perfect sign to repot, regardless of time of year. Mine is,also starting new growths, but I dont see signs of new roots yet, so I'm.holding off.... once I see new roots, it has to be rejuvenated regardless of time of year, blooms or not. Thank you, once again for your much appreciated feedback 😊 i hope my nudge to repot and why resonates with you. If you have any follow up questions.... ask away! Thank you so much for watching! 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thanks so much for clarification on my repot question. Now I feel more confident regarding this. You have an amazing ability to impart information in your videos (and I mean that sincerely). I will be catching up on more of them as time allows. So glad I found you! xo
@@myIsabella53 😀 thank YOU so much for being here! If questions ever arise that are best backed up with a picture, my email is in the description and you are always welcome to hit me up there! Your support and comment are very encouraging, thank you 🌸
Hi. It was a very useful video. I am having problems with the growth of my hibiki. Is it possible for me to send u a pic of my plant so that u can take a look at it? Thks. LILIA
Hi Lilia 🤗💐 absolutely, yes... let's see if I can have a look see and troubleshoot with you. My email is ninjaorchids@gmail in case you didn't see it in the description ... thank you for finding my video and getting in touch 🌸
Helloooo 🦒, Nina and hibiki !!! One of the flashier Dendrobium and easy to care for. Mine will soon open its buds, very excited about that, they are a must have, no doubt.
Thank you for the information and advices NIna, they are always welcome. Keep them coming !!! Happy sun-day amiga querida, love you 💖🤗
FFF 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 Wishing you a wonderful Sunday as well!! Looking forward to seeing your blooms featured on a video 🤞🏼 I love this little den! The colors are right up my alley in form of vibrancy and so very long lasting! I hope that you are doing well, and are able to take it easy today! We are currently pushing 40ºC 😆 But I LOVE IT! ❤️
@@NinjaOrchids Goodness 🦒🦒 !!! 40ºC? Today 23ºC here, will go up to 26/27C next week, maybe 😊 Would like it a bit warmer but when I go to Lisbon and get 35 or more, I feel happy to live here. Very comfortable 18ºC at night !!! When I lived in Lisbon it was very hard to sleep with the heat !!! But you are an african born, very used to heat. In that hou must feel like a fish in the pond 🐠🐟😍🤗
Temperature wise, I am now completely in my element! My daughter 'warned' me about the rising temps 2 days ago! And I did a fist pump.... she then asked, good because of the orchids? And I said, no... good because of ME! It's a bit too much for the 'chids... but I LOVE IT!! Swimming in warm air 🐳
@@NinjaOrchids 🦒they love the heat too, your beloved twiga😅
So healthy! This one is on my wish list. Thank you for sharing.
Hi!! 🤩💐 I LOVE this orchid! so reliable, and I find that it is a non fuss one. The mealies like it too, but they are easily controlled. Really ... I hope that you find one because, you will not regret it, ever!! And when you do.... let me know if you would like me to add you to the CareCollab list for this orchid 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching, lovely lady! I wish you a fabulous Saturday 🌸
Very nice! My Hibiki is in bloom now and I know it will be in bloom for few months. That's why I love it :) Mine has purple splotches on some leaves because of high light...
Hello!! 🤗💐 Its how long the blooms last, the color of the canes, the leaves, the ease of care... the keikis... everything about this orchid is just 'right'!! Thank you so very much for watching this video!! Have a wonderful Sunday!! 🌸
Such a beautiful plant and the flower are beautiful!!!
Penny!! 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 How are you, gorgeous lady?? This is really psychedelic and I love it! Also the canes go pink etc... Very easy little dendrobium, it doesn't get big... but, the flowers are not white.... still, maybe something for you to think about? Hope you are having a wonderful day!! Huggos!! 🥰🌸
@@NinjaOrchids when feeling better I will see if I can find one. Also, soon will take pics of my Penelope and send to you. I saw this morning that 2 of the leaves that always standing straight up are tilting backwards. Woe is me.
Am falling behind in many things. xxx and soon will send pics. Things I need for Pen simply aren't anywhere I could find. I am discouraged. Even more so that now Missouri has been named a "hot zone" of covid. So many lives have been lost due to the pandemic. And now I worry big time for my beloved Germany. Will email more when feeling better. YOU and yours stay safe. Take NO risks.xx😘❤😘❤🎷🔍
Very pretty and easy to care!😀❤️ can’t wait to have hibiki in my collection, thank you Nina 😊
Cheery!! 🤗💐 How kind of you to watch two videos in one day!! Thank you so very much!! I look forward to you having a Hibiki in your collection as well... you will absolutely love it 🥰🌸
Ninja_Orchids I watch in my free time and I comment when I’m done watching the video 😅 I love it when my kids sleep during daytime 😄
I love Dendro Hibiki so much, bought a young plant, probably a keiki, but it is so slow. I want to buy a mature, so thank you for this video in particular 👍🏼
Helloooo. 🤗💐 You are very welcome, my absolute pleasure looking at these blooms while they burned my eyes out with their brilliance!! 🤩 Thank YOU for watching!! My Hibiki took a year to 'take off' and become so vigorous... Also, first time to have such gorgeous pink canes.... so, if you cannot find a maturer Hibiki... give it a little more time! 🌸
Hi nina..a fan of urs from philippines ...i love the plant..so beautiful..how i wish to have something like that...ur really good in plants..
Marcus!! 🤗💐 What a pleasure to make your acquaintance!! 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🙌🏼 Thank you so very much for watching this video and leaving me a comment! I really appreciate seeing your name pop up! Philippines huh? I consider that country orchid growing heaven! I hope that you can find this Hibiki... it really is worth having a look to see if you can get it! 🌸
A very pretty dendrobium! And clearly she loves your care! I just “harvested” some dendrobium keikis myself today 😄 now I feel like a farmer 👩🌾 I don’t mind that!
Danielle 🥰😃💐 I know right? And it is not even Thanksgiving, and here we are harvesting keikis! 😆 I love it!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!! 🌸
Hi Nina, a timely video. I have an Hibiki and I think it has been to dry. I think I will try self watering. My plant is small but I think it may be going to bloom. I hope mine looks as nice as yours one day! 🦒💌🌸😊
Hello!! 😻💐 that is great to know that this video was of help! If Gloria had not asked, I would not have done a care video, because I thought 'everyone knows this one'... still... they do not grow big, but your canes should get to 8 inches... so, I do not know if you say your's is still small, and what size the canes are... my full grown canes are 8 inches. Something I did not mention in the video and maybe could be useful as a comparison 🤗 Thank you so very much for watching!! 🌸
Hello my friend 💐😇 She is beautiful and vibrant. So you don’t think she needs a cool down in winter, just hold fertilizer? I could do that!!! 😏 Once it gets cold here, I have to take all of mine inside and the temperature stays constant. I didn’t get my mobile right last winter and she produced all keikis. No bueno! 😩 I’ll try something different this winter ❄️ 🥶 Thanks for the info. Take care 🌸🧚🏼♂️
Number 5! 🤗💐🤸🏼♀️ my orchid buddy!! No... no winter rest at all, except hold off on fertilizer when not growing. My hibiki comes inside in the winter nights as well as soon as temperatures drop below 55ºF... but full winter sun when outside. Nobiles, they will bless you with keikis 😆 even though we want blooms!! 😬 Maybe hold off on fertilising your nobile once it has stopped growing and only introduce fertlizer once you see buds actually forming, not at the nubbin swelling stage. I don't want to insert myself in how you care for your 'chids, but thought maybe throw in a helpful hint 🤗 Thank you so very much for watching!! Have a wonderful Sunday!! 🌸
Ninja_Orchids Hi Nina! I merely a Padawan to orchids. ⭐️ I appreciate any and all advice from you. What about when the nobile has growth( new canes) nubbins? I think mine are all confused, as am I, as to what and when She is supposed to grow buds or growths. My fault I’m sure. 🤦♀️ This particular nobile was probably a specimen size plant when I got her and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with her. I proceeded to cut 🔪 her in two. I planted both large halves in Leca (nice root growth) for the winter ❄️. In spring, she started throwing keikis on every node so I unpotted her and put one half in orchiata and I mounted the other half. 🤦♀️ Now I’m thinking 🤔 maybe I should put them both back in Leca again. 🤸🏽🤸🏽🤸🏽♀️. Part of me says “leave her alone.” Sorry for the long story. Any advise would be appreciated. 🥴 Take Care!!
When the nobile is in active growth regardless of season, then do as if nothing is different... fertilize and water to make those new canes as big as possible. If they want to grow late into the season, and winter temps come along, then they may not grow to normal full potential, but that will only happen 1 year... those canes will still bloom when they are ready to (even if out of season) just treat the nobile in accordance to what it is doing, not what the season says. Chances are, it is not acclimatized and will adjust within the next year. Leave the one in orchiata, and take the mounted one off IF there is new root growth... if it is not growing anything at the base (not including keikis) then leave it mounted until something happens at the base. Then switch to leca if you want to. BUT, as you have keikis growing let them grow roots that are long enough before potting them up, approx 4 inches.. try those in leca when the time comes. You have 3 options to test what will work best for the coming months... awesome! Those keikis will bloom ... its going to be quite the show when you 3 nobile versions bloom! Fantastic!! 🌸
Ninja_Orchids Thank you. I will follow your advise 🌸
You are always very welcome!! 🌸
Hi Nina! Very timely video for me again! Love the close ups and the culture information. I bought this one this spring and it is considerably smaller than yours of course but I already enjoy those bright pink canes.
Anne!! 🥰💐 The thank you goes to Gloria and I really appreciate that she asked for a video of this nature... I would not have thought of doing a care video about it, 'everyone knows this one' ... well, clearly Gloria knew better 😃 I love the pink canes... this year, my canes are pinker than ever. I did not mention that my canes were 20cm long, and they wont get bigger than that... just as a comparison, as you say your's is still small! Enjoy those blooms ... they will be around a long time... a great little Den!! Have a wonderful Sunday and thank you so much for watching! 🌸
Lovely and informative video! I recently got a hibiki and am very happy with it. It has adapted to leca extremely easily and is in bud currently. Thanks for the update and care tips . Have a wonderful weekend and happy growing!
Mary!! 🤗💐 You are very welcome! If it wasn't for Gloria asking, I would not have thought to do a care video on Hibiki, because 'everyone knows this one'.... I am so glad that she asked, and that you enjoyed some care tips here and there! They are gorgeous little orchids! I love mine and have been able to share it because of the keikis it produces... they are also so very easy to grow on! So glad to know you enjoyed this and thank you so much for watching!! Enjoy your blooms when they open! Wear shades 😎😆🌸
Thank you for this! I’ve been thinking of adding this to my collection. 💕🌱👍🏻
You are very welcome! 🤗💐 I would not have done a care video for this one, if Gloria hadn't asked me to.... so, your comment really is nice to read, and that it hopefully helps you in making a decision to get it? 😊 Thank you so very much for watching! I hope you do get one!! 😉🌸
Thank you so much for showing me how to get to this video! It's so lovely
Hi 😍💐 I am glad that you enjoyed the video and once again, thank YOU for taking me up on the link and watching 🫶🏼 I am really excited to see what you do and how things work out 😃 hope you are waking up to a sparkling Saturday 🫶🏼❤️🌸
I shared this to Twitter
Thank you so much 🫶🏼 very thoughtful and helpful of you to support me that way as well ❤️
How big was Hibiki when you got it?
Hi Sandie 🤩💐 Half the mass in the pot as you see in the video, and 2 mature canes. It pretty much bloomed for me in the next bloom cycle after I got it. From my favorite nursery, Grossräschener Orchideen. Thank you so much for going back to watch this video, Sandie 😍 hope you had a wonderful day and are ready to relax into the evening 🌸
Thanks a millon Nina for the Hibiki video I transplanted the keikis this morning in leca and 1 strand of micro fibre, I lost the mother plant that came in moss, it bloomed for 4 months and is the same color as yours, fucia and orange, but them the roots became brown.
My apartment is very dry because of the AC, should I spray the top layer or just keep the strand wet ?
Gloria!! 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤗💐 so glad that you found this video useful!! Not sure if I covered everything and answered your questions, but... I would spray the surface for the coming 2 weeks and keep that microfiber moist at all times. Its ok to spray the top only 1x a day, but don't let the microfiber dry out until your roots are going down into the leca and are a bit more established. Also, if you can, flush clean water through every 3 days ... this pulls oxygen into the leca which is great for root development! Let me know (in any video, coming up) how things go with your hibiki.. any questions, observations you want to run by me... it doesn't have to be on this comment section... 🥰🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thank you Nina , I transplanted and flushed after 3 days, in the other keiki I put lava rock , leca and sphagnum on the top will see which one survive.
Oomura pronounce “oh-muh-ra” If it’s Japanese... and probably is. Somebody’s last name. Fragrance? Pink usually doesn’t too much for me but if it’s fragrant...
Yoshi San!! Thank you so very much for the pronunciation! 👏🏼👍🏼 No fragrance at all, Yoshi.... super long lasting blooms, up to 5 months ... amazing, but no fragrance! Thank you so much for watching!! 🌸
This is getting silly 😄. I don't know if you remember me saying that your videos are coming out exactly when I need them, eg the lava rock video came out just as my first delivery of it arrived and today my first Hibicki arrived. I had some seaweed/CalMag ready for it but on your advice the other day I was ready to let it settle in until I see new roots, mind you there are aerial roots all over the place 🙄.
Now I will settle down to watch this video and am looking forward to being a bit more confident in how to treat her 😀
HI Carole 😍💐 I love silly when it make sense like in these situations 😅 I do remember, and I love it when it happens... seems like there some kind of telepathy going on, and long may it continue 👍🏼 someone had a LOT of humidity where it came from, because, I don't have any aerial roots on mine, and never actually thought it would grow them... now I know!! Interesting 👍🏼 if you are in doubt ... always feel free to ask any follow up questions. Just let me know more about your grow environment and temperatures etc. Every recent video has the Orchid Details Help Form pinned at the top, this video aired before the Help Form came into being. Congratulations on your Hibiki... you are in for one heck of a treat 😍😍 thank you so much for watching, Carole! I hope your day was awesome 🌸
Hai Nina. Very attractive bunch of dendro and very nice bloom!
Is D. Hibiki a hard cane type or soft like Nobile? I live in tropical place with temp around 27-34 d.celsius. Is it possible to grow and bloom this D. Hibiki? Tq.
Hi there 🤩💐 welcome!! I have not seen you here before, so, a warm warm welcome and a massive thank you for being here, I really appreciate it! I love your climate and am already jealous of you living in those temperatures! I come from Kenya 😬 those were my temperatures!! Hibiki is a soft cane, like the nobiles. They will do well in your climate and conditions. They do not need a winter cool down to bloom, they are continuous growers, which makes them a little different from nobiles. So... if you can find one, I can only encourage you to get this amazing little performer into your collection! I LOVE my Hibiki and am glad that I have it! Thank you so much for watching, and once again, welcome! 🥰🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Hai Nina. Rosli here. Thank you very much for the prompt reply and very warm welcome. I am newbie in "orchid world" and found your video days ago (very inspiring and informative) Ya i am from Malaysia. Located slightly above Equator. Warm and humid here. Dua to that, I am looking info about growing orchid in hot wether. And not all orchid suit my country's climate especially hybrid one. (So jealous to those stay in 4 seasons country, there can grow any orchid even in living room hahaha) Sorry for long reply.
Hi Rosli 🤩 Oh dear... the grass is always greener on the other side, no? I am attaching a link to my orchid history if you would be interested and have not seen the video yet ua-cam.com/video/3Ap_RRZn8II/v-deo.html. also, a link to a selection of orchids that will do well in your climate (maybe not the nobile orchid, but Hibiki is included in this list)... you may see similar orchids available to the ones I show here, even if you don't find the exact same ones ua-cam.com/video/qBkv352rE4U/v-deo.html hybrid cattleyas will love your climate, as will Brassavolas, vandas, ascocentrum, christnetias (mini vandas), renantheras... just to name a few. Always feel free to ask any questions and if I can help, I will be happy to do so 👍🏼
@@NinjaOrchids hi. Sorry for late reply. You are right. We have very green grass everywhere and they grow fast too. Even bushes and forests here are dark green.
Thank you for the video links. I will find time to watch it and leave comment there.
I appreciated your suggestion on orchids that suit my climate here. I do have dendro sp and hybrids, vanda, catasetum, cymbidium sp and schomburgkia sp. But lately, i found myself easily attracted to dwarf and bunches type of orchid in the internet. Hibiki is one of it. Haha. The biggest problem is those orchids are not suitable for warm low land place. I cant afford a green house to grow them.
The leaves on my new Hibiki are kind of thin and floppy.
It has a keiki on one of the canes and it's making its own cane. I wrapped the roots with some sphagnum moss today. I have yet to repot it.
Hi Joe 😍💐 sounds like your Hibiki is acclimating. The leaves are stiff when all is growing well, they have a lot of flex to them, so don't worry too much. Just don't expose your's to the high light it could tolerate just yet. I have never had keikis on mine... sometimes I wish I did, but no dice! Mine is stressed this year, so I am not letting it bloom. It had a massive divide operation 2 years ago, then a fungus issue last year, so... as the blooms are so long lasting it takes a lot out of the orchid, and for that reason, I am going to pop off all the bloom clusters. I am gutted to not be able to have these beautiful blooms around for the coming months, but the orchid will be better off just getting it's energy reserves back. Thank you so much for watching, Joe! Have yourself a fabYOUlous Friday 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Nina, very pretty hibiki! May I ask you why my dendrobium hibiki's leaves turn reddish on their tips? Was it because of too much water or too little?
HI Priscilla 🤩💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here, I appreciate it very much 🫶🏼 If your hibiki leaves otherwise look healthy and have a good shine to them, then the tips may be going reddish because they are getting adequate light. If however, they were exposed to too cold temperatures, they may be showing reddish coloring because of the same anthocyanin showing that the temps were a little too low. If they are going reddish and then turning dry, it may be your humidity is a little low, so the tips are drying out. This won't affect the health of the rest of the leaves, just a secondary side effect of low humidity. However, something tells me that your hibiki is showing signs she is getting good light and that is awesome. If the whole leaf goes reddish, then as in some of my leaves, it won't hurt the orchid either. Just keep an eye out for the light levels in that case because you don't want the leaves to burn 👍🏼 hope this was helpful in some way! Thank you so much for watching and once again, welcome 🫶🏼🌸
Hi Nina, thanks for your quick response. Your knowledge helps a lot!
👍🏼 you are very welcome!
Hi Ninja how do you fertilise your hibiki as I've just got 1 a month ago,i can see a budding as you showed in your. Waiting yo see what coli8it produce. I await yoyr response on fertiliser. Thanks
Hi Jean 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you in the comments before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, thank you so much for watching and thirdly... congratulations on getting your hands on this wonderful hybrid! I hope that you enjoy growing this amazing orchid 🙌🏼🥳 I have a video as to what I do when I get new orchids in, and even though you have had your's a month already, I will leave the link here for you, in case you are interested to have a look see! ua-cam.com/video/5IRPutcCvIw/v-deo.html please remember that every orchid needs to acclimate to the new environment it finds itself in. So, the best way to help it out during any stress post shipping and during the acclimating phase, is to give it CalMag and seaweed to start with, which is what I suggest in the linked video. Depending on if your Hibiki acclimates without having any time delay during it's growth phase, new growths will start at the base relatively soon, even while the orchid is pushing buds and is in bloom. So, those will need to be supported by calcium and fertilizer. Please let me know the size of your orchid, so that I can better pin point the quantities for your specific case. Also, what is your choice of media. Any information you can provide, will make it better for me to answer with more specifics! I hope that you are having a wonderful week and once again, Jean, welcome 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thanks for the reply my hibiki came in moss and ir looked new do I placed the pot in water and its doing well. I saw a video that its vest to keep it in water. And I read it's grafting parents are from area where it's alway wet. Anyway I've watched and liked your videos but never commented until this time. How do you mix the calmag and seaweed please.
@@jeandaly7585 I hope you are happy with what you received. So, while Hibikis like a lot of water during their active growth period, as your's is in moss, please do not let it stand in water. The moss is so water retentive, it has plenty of moisture around the roots with that substrate 👍🏼 the orchid needs to adapt to your conditions, your lifestyle and if that means it will be a little less wet, then so be it. Just maintain the moss damp. Only add water when the moss is just at the point of drying out, and keep in mind, that, the lower third of the pot, in the centre, is the last to go dry. The humidity provided by the moss in the pot will help the roots before the next watering. Here is a video for the CalMag / Seaweed mixing. ua-cam.com/video/5IRPutcCvIw/v-deo.html let me know if you have any questions or observations that you would like to bring to my attention, even if it is under a video that has nothing to do with your question. I appreciate you for liking all the videos, before you commented. Also, thank you so much for watching! The support is a God send 🫶🏼❤🌸
Nina, I have a tiny rootless hibiki, and can't find info on what to do. Can you give some advice please? Humidity chamber? SH? Moss and bark?
Hi Ann 😍💐 yes! Your intuition is correct! Put it into a humidity chamber, but not totally sealed of from fresh air. A little moss at the base, keep that moss damp, not wet, but damp at all times and give it good light so that something will trigger growth. How many canes do you have? How long have you had it? I would not pot it up just yet. If you want to double up and ensure that there won't be any vulnerable growth touching the damp moss, risking rot, place a tiny bit of perlite on the moss before place your hibiki in the chamber. Leave the top open 👍🏼 Let me know if this helps any at all and KEEP me posted for any eventualities you need a second opinion on! Thank you so much for watching, Ann!! Have a great start to your day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@NinjaOrchids thank you Nina!!
You are very welcome! 🫶🏼
My hibiki is hot pink but it's pretty short not growing tall.
😍HI Sandie 💐 hot pink!!! Woohooo!! My newest canes are also pretty short. Low light levels are the reason for mine to not have made it to size. With your's I am pretty sure that it is time related. With your conditions, your canes will grow a little taller in time 👍🏼 happy to hear that you have HOT pink! That is awesome! Thank you so much for watching, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸
