Hello! I just discovered your channel and I am just in love with it!!...I am having luttle problem with the root of my Vandals...They are exposed and have grown WAY TO LONG....I know you have said in videos not to cut them...but dont know what to do with them!...help!
When you say that the column looks like a fly i remember. We call the Rhynchostylis retusa "Kopou phul" in Assamese. Kopou means dove and phul means flower in my language. The rhyn retusa is our state flower. And indeed the flower 's column looks a head of a dove. The rhyn retusa is well attached to our culture, at "bihu " festival, in april, every home has its blooms dangling from trees and traditionally since ages ourwomen have been using it as a hair ornament while dancing. Enjoy! I will surely get the gigantea.
Here in Assam ,we can find this orchid in almost all village houses. They grow huge over here. Blooms almost 20/25 spikes average in my house and can grow over 1/3 meter . However they really grow very slow.
I got the same variety and also the alba variety last August. They are a bit younger than yours. When you said that their growth is excruciatingly slow, you are right! I finally see a hint of a new leaf on one of mine after 6 months. I hope mine looks as lovely as yours when they bloom! Thank you for a wonderful video!
I like the way the flower changes from a moth, a butterfly, a dove, and a hummingbird. No, I'm not on drugs, Thanks Danny, absolutely a stunning Vanda!
I actually have that exact variety of Rhynchostylis! It's a first bloomer for me as well, and I also disliked the fragrance at first; it smelled something like citrus, soap, and dust. Over time the dust turned into a more spicey fragrance, so now I have this oddball palette of citrus, spice, and soap! It is somewhat similar to the Phalaenopsis violacea scent, but soapier and citrus-y-er. I also found that the intensity of the fragrance was sorely overstated, even with good amounts of light and care. Perhaps her next blooming will be a bit more powerful. I love Rhynchostylis and any hybrid that calls it an ancestor, they're about the only Vandaceous orchids I actually like (excepting Aerides, of course. I am a sucker for all things fragrant!)
I love these petals. In the middle of the pedals, looks like a tiger where you could see the ears to eye the nose and the mouth. It's picture perfect. Also I just love the way you put everything into very detail for this orchid.
I find it funny when you say : "This orchid is my favourite... This one is my very dearest one... This one I love it so much... This one is my special one... " and so on... Admit it, Danny ! :) All of them are your favourite and you just can't choose one ! :)) We all know this !
I have one these and I LOVE it! It’s one of my favorites, too. Regarding the fragrance, I think it is wonderful! I love the perfume-like smell. Many orchids have a floral smell, a lemony or citrus smell, sweet food smells like vanilla, chocolate, coconut, etc. but this one is actually like a perfume and I happen to love it! Thanks for another great video! Best Regards from Florida! 🍊🍊🍊
I have one a little taller than yours, I absolutely love it. I got it last year with a flower spike. This year, it has rewarded me with two spikes all opened now. I’m not crazy about its fragrance. Since it’s outside under a tree, it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m thinking about getting other varieties...very easy to grow.
@@shahafgerda3757 it’s hanging under a tree, so it gets water twice a week from the sprinkler & whenever it rains. In the summer, I hose it down as often as I can.
After watching this, I scampered off and ordered Rhynchostylis gigantea v. orange. No spots, but orange! I couldn't pass it up. 😍 I still have full intentions to buy this little pink dalmatian too though.
I live in Texas. The weather in the summer is above 85 degree F. Should I put the orchid outside ? How many time should I have to fertilize and water it in a week?
Hi Danny. Such a pretty vanda. Perfect for valentines day!! Think the gigantea is represented by the total bloom and impact. Thank you for experience and care tips.
Very pretty blooms. Even without a sweet fragrance , still worth growing it and I'm sure the fragrance will improve by age. Thanks for sharing and care tips. I've had mine for a year now but has not bloomed for me yet, what do you think I should do to re-bloom it?
I have a rhy gig peach and I managed to very gently cut the plastic basket into pieces and remove it and then get it into a wood basket without damaging the roots - it looks better that way to me
Hi Danny. I grow most of my orchids under plant lights especially in the winter. They're doing great! Would vandas do well under the lights? My weather here is unpredictable so even in warmer temps it would be subjected to high wind, rain, high humidity and temps in the high 90s to over 100s. I've never done well with Vandas but I love them. I've tried bare rooted, baskets, pots, bark and lava rock. Out of the 7 I've bought, I've killed everyone of them! They were all very mature and expensive. IDK how else I can keep and grow them.
This species hit the garden centers here in Denmark last year. It seemed every Danish hobby grower bought one and went on Facebook, saying how wonderful the fragrance was. And having smelled it in the garden centers, I have to agree with Danny. The fragrance is not exactly pleasant. It's acidic, but not what I would call citrusy. It's not the disgusting sour clothes smell of Bulbophyllum medusae either (thankfully). Very hard the describe, except acidic and sharp.
Can you give an advice on how to repot gigantea? I have 1 rotted due to over watering perhaps… By the way I like your videos, i enjoy watching, coz they are all informative, especially in growing my orchids. Thank you… i have to repot my rhyncho, otherwise, all will die because of suffocation. ❤️
Excruciatingly yummy blooms, need need need them! (May already have something with very similar blooms ((retusa))but since it hasn't bloomed so far I don't yet technically have them😅) Thanks for sharing yours!
Great timing on this for me. Just picked one up a few weeks ago at the Tamiami show. The growers here (south Florida) are selling them with the roots wrapped in moss supposedly to push blooming prior to the shows. I can’t imagine keeping them in it full time. Unrelated question... what are your thoughts on wet / dry cycles? I’ve heard that more cycles relates to faster / increased growth.
Good question :) I did nor read anything conclusive on the matter, just anecdotal and people talking. So my theory is that, if indeed it promotes growth, it just has to do with what we talked about a few days ago. In certain setups drying out removes the water from the air pockets, provides oxygen and facilitates water and nutrient uptake. Without oxygen roots have issues with that www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01904160009382082 so more water and nutrients, more growth :) bare root vandas function better when they are exposed to a lot of oxygen too so there we go. I believe it's just a side effect, but in certain setups it doesn't matter, as we can see in my collection 😁
Hi Danni! (Hope I spelled that correctly) My aunt loves this video. -I was wondering, maybe sometime you could do a video on Cattleya alliance orchids that Love hot weather? Late Spring through Fall in Texas is brutally hot. I have this Cattleya percivaliana that I don't particularly enjoy but it grows so well outside during our hot season that I've kept it. Well that and just because it's the only orchid I've been able to bloom.
I have 3 different color varieties of this orchid. They will be first time bloomers. They are cartoon, red & orange. I can't wait till they bloom esp the orange (my favorite color).
Hi Danny!!! Is it OK if I have my orchids in my bedroom or kitchen? its very its the most warm and where there is more light due to winter time, I live in Hamburg so its have been cold!
Hi Stefany, depends on the environment your particular orchids require and the spot you put them in. I have grocery store phals, a dendrobium nobilee and a miltoniopsis herralexandre in my bedroom and they all thrive, also had a Nelly Isler for a while. Observe the orchids to see how they react to the environment. In the kitchen, just put them out of harm's way (steam, heat, being knocked over)
I have Rhynchostylis Spot Cartoon fully bloomed with multiple spikes and heavily scented fragrance 24/7 . However I'm sick and tired of watering them as the root gets dried very quick and night temperatures at my place drops between 14° to 11°C. I'm really confused because this orchid demands too much care🤔
Just ordered "Red" and "cartoon". For some reason these do a ton better than vandas for me. I have lost two vandas and my rhyncostylist is doing great. BTW...I ordered a shirt and mug!!!
awww thank you, hope you'll like them,. I am still waiting on my order to see how it is, I hope it's good :) that's why I didn't make a video about it yet :))) let me know please!
My rhyncostylis gigantea is just growing like mad on the tree in mu front yard but the darn plant has not flowered since 2015 because there has not been a cold spike. To force it to flower
@@MissOrchidGirl well I mean the roots dry up and turn silvery white within 15 minutes no matter how long I soak it or mist it so I would literally have to water it like 20 times a day if I did it everytime it got dry. This is what I mean watering vandas is frickin confusing I don't want to overwater because roots can rot but I also don't want to not give it enough water.
Oooh so it's bare rooted not potted, should have mentioned :) ok then soak in water for at least 15 minutes at least once a day, twice may be better if your environment is very warm 😊 yeah keeping bare rooted Vandas is a drag 🤣
Oh it's so pretty :) love it I have a teeny tiny one that I got from eBay under the name Rhynchostylis gigantea 'cartoon' but it's so so tiny I'm afraid I have to wait long until I'll see the blooms
To be honest I don't like spotted Ryncho I love peachy or solid colour stuff😅 Danny you have a magic🧚♀️ in your voice and soul you make your viewers, followers, friends, fans, audience, listeners like me to love🤩 and find a beauty😊 in the orchid even if we kind of bored 😅 on it.you see every detail of the orchid🧐 describe them beautifully🤩 highlight them like those strappy wide leaves of rycho looks better than vanda🤗, those summer blooming phals glossy🤩 gorgeous leaves those red pink😊 or anthocyanins roots, Variegated leaves. you make us to love😍 each and every detail of the orchid🤨 sometimes you describe the pest as cute like mealy bugs😁 with white fuzzy pretty bug😂, this is called real magic🧚♀️🧚♀️ before this video I don't like soptted rycho😅 this sounds harsh na🤣 ok this will be good spotted rycho stylis🙄 is not my cup of tea😅 and here the magic comes😉🧚♀️ you present a wonderful video 😁with black background and sweet voice and describe each and every details of the orchid☺ and at the end of the video I will be like child crying😋😅😊 for candies I too wanted that rynchostylis😭 which Danny has you are awesome human being😃 inspires all the people to grow orchids and fall in in love with them.

Not exactly this. We have retusa. The leaves are a bit smaller and the blooms are smaller too.
Mam I am searching this and I am from Haryana will you please provide me this plant..

That is a beauty! I like vandas but I don’t have the space right now for them. I will settle for living through you in pretending that I own one.

Hi Danny! I just got my first neostylis and wondering if you have avy videos on its care? Thank you 😊
Its only now that i know there are so many kinds of orchid flower.. I really like this kind of orchids.. Long ang clustery is the flower
Oh I love thuis colour so much. Ik have a phal and a cattleya in this colour. Can't stop looking at them

A variety of this plant “Retusa” is considered holy in in India.. it was used by Sita in epic Ramayana and is called Sita Pushpa..

Oh dearDani please give more tips for its çare if hanging roots are there
One more to my wish list,lol
I have R.retusa and coelestis seedlings at the moment and still trying to figure out their requirements😊
Wow..beutiful
Hi from🇬🇷 for how long the flowers last?
How much water does it need?
Lovely !!!!
Even though Rhyncostylis gigantea orchids don’t produce a lot of roots or very tall roots my plant has some roots that are around 4 feet.
How many times bloom within a year?
Hi, I noticed black spots and line on the leaf of your plant and my new plant has a lot, even more than yours.
When it will bloom from deflasking?
How is your Rhynchostylis doing three years later?
My rhyncostylis gigantea is just growing like mad on the tree in mu front yard but the darn plant has not flowered since 2015 because there has not been a cold spike. To force it to flower
Shame they don't have a good fragrance. Hopefully they will, as you say, get better over time.
How often should you water this orchid
Whenever it gets dry ☺️

Sophie do u know how long it takes for Rhys to bloom from seedling ?
Emjolu Rad long time. i have some small one
it's fragrant if sniffed from afar...yes it's citrusy but if I sniffed the flowers directly, It smells plasticky for me
Where can I find this I collect orchids
This is so beautiful
Hi, most Orchid nurseries in your area should have it :) here's a video on the subject, just check description ua-cam.com/video/WZYW1NRoYZU/v-deo.html
Great video, I really enjoyed watching, love that.
