Rogue springtail on the bellina, let's calm down 🤣Did you know they help keep a good balance for Orchid roots? here's more about them! ua-cam.com/video/MKdf6EQSj-U/v-deo.html
This video came to me at the perfect time. I have been thinking ahead about winter and how to setup all of my new orchid children hahaha. I also call them him and her all the time and tell people they are my children, but only because I am a crazy person 💃🐒. Thank you for your dedication to another successful experiment! And for saving me and probably some others the pain and $money$ of trying something else and maybe fail or not be as successful. I will be trying these bulbs out myself. It's good to be a member 😉😁
So cool that you talked about the showering part, I’ve seen some UA-camrs and comments talking about that subject and how they think that just because it happens in nature, they asume that the same conditions will replicate in their environment (which can actually happen) but it’s not white or black, and I think that’s an awesome lesson of the hobby: something might work for you, but could be a death sentence for someone else’s orchid.
I think that on phalaenopsis and other orchids, the response of orchids to lack of natural light is to put out bigger and wider leaves to spread out and find more light. It saids in societies here in vandas not having long photoperiods of sun or lack of sun might result to more broad leaves than usual. And it could possibly be a bad sign. I grew my orchids outside and my phalaenopsis aprhodite stoped producing bigger leaves this time that I grew them outside receiving 2 hours of afternoon sun. It's the opposite when it comes to phalaenopsis. It does not need to grew bigger leaves because it received enough and adjusted to the place I've put it. It might make sense I think..
Your videos are so educational. I'm going to look into these bulbs too. Do you have a video on how you give your orchids showers. I worry about damaging mine and I know to be careful with the crowns. Thank you and keep up the awesome work!
Love your results! You did a great job! Yes, of course, the orchids did - under YOUR care 🌺🌺🌺. Thinking of changing my bulbs for stronger (for the winter time) at the moment, full spectrum, of course, making a research on bulbs we've got. O Gosh, it's sooo hard for me to understand all this physics behind the light issue! 🙈 But it's worth it seing your results 👍👍👍
I discovered your videos in winter, while i was trying to save an orchid my mom neglected. Sadly, i could not save it since it had crownrot and i am a complete beginner. But the other 2 she bought afterwards are doing fine :) I already have enough plants (no orchids) in my room, but you really want to make me get a phal.bellina and today you're showing it AGAIN! Stop :D :D I'm getting weak, Danny.
They’re all doing wonderful, the texture of the leaves show the plant is putting in a good fight. The ones that are still a little pale, are just a little slow to recover from stress but they will. By texture i simply mean the floppy, wilted like, pliability versus the stiffer feel of the leaves. Indirect light epiphytes do need a different spectrum than what most grow lights provide, which are set to mimic direct light. For some aquarium lights may help with this; their spectrum is designed to mimic the filtered light as it travels through the water. which is a good match to indirect light spectrums.
Hi, Great Videos! Could you please do one video with ALL your bloomed flowers by genra? I mean , save all all your clattleya blooms to one compilation, another time just all your phals etc I love to see what you are collecting theses days , and it teaches a lot about flowers , species and hybrids. thanks
Danny! Love these updates! Wanted to thank you for teaching me so much about orchids over the past couple years, I've finally got one of my dream orchids about to have her first blooming ever and couldn't be prouder (Monn. Millenium Magic Witchcraft!)
I have tested several different grow light and the best I found was the: LED Plante spot dual spectrum 33W Greenception. It is expensive but oh boy it really does the job well.
Thank you Danni for teaching me so much about orchids! My poor little supermarket plants think you're the best and want to say thank you for the much-needed repotting and increased light source. Haha. Seriously, I don't know how I ever thought they'd be happy to stay in their supermarket pots/media forever. Now I know, and they're putting out beautiful new leaves and flower spikes. :D Also as someone who loves languages, I like the little linguistics sidetrack ;) P.S. Update on the catasetums soon? :)
Do you plan on creating new light setup for all your orchids in the future? And I have a question how does the Gemma lights impact the other orchids? I am curios. I think I might buy some of these for my collection.
hey Danni! loving your videos a lot! I have a mini phaleonopsis orchid and im noticing some of the surface roots of the orchid are much darker than the other ones, theyre also firm to the touch and dont feel dried or anything, i was wondering what im doing wrong! shes potted in a plastic pot with air holes, potted in a spagnum moss mixed with bark and placed on a south eastern window with sheer curtains
I have got a phal. Brother ambo passion recently brought, changed from the original moss and put in bark and I see that the roots aren't so good. They start to damage. I'm afraid that I'm gonna lose it. What should I do in this case? Please!🙏
Hi Danny! How do you make your phalaenopsis leaves shine? I am a beginner phalaenopsis lover. And I am fan of yours here in the Philippines. I like your all pots I hope I can have that too 😊
Hey Danny! Love this video but have a question for you about a recent orchid I acquired. I have a brassavola cattleya hybrid and I'm wondering how often I should water it since cats like to dry out between waterings but brassavolas do not I've heard. How should I water this hybrid?
Hi, honestly Brassavolas are just like Catts, they can do great in even a bit less light. The whole drying out thing is for the sake of the medium more, Catts tolerate drought like nothing else, the more the medium stays dry, the slower it degrades, so the roots will grow in airy, suitable parameters for longer. Catts grow just as well wet in inorganic media 😉 Brassavolas are the same, the orchid will tell you when the drought is too much by shrivelling its psb, so let it guide you and just don't over do it, not with drought, not with wetness. Good luck!
Hi Danny, I have a question regarding this video. The results are clear but I did not get which was the light situation before therefore the comparaison (and I don't remember your previous light setup for this group of phal). Were they under your led panel / bulb? Thank you for sharing and reading this
Hi, yes as I was saying in this video I had them under the panel, or just normal bulbs throughout the years, which is apparent in my video archive on a quick search. I talk about them, or some of them, in the previous gemma videos too linked in the description. As I was saying in this video I was curious if I would get a better and more vivid leaf color, as I established in the previous video update linked in the description that results were so much better with the tomato plant, but not that visible with the african violets.
Did anyone else get major anxiety while she was spraying the orchids? Just me? 🤣🤣 I think it’s been so drilled into me to never let water get in the crown that I now believe crown rot or other issues will form if water even comes in contact with the middle of the orchid. 🤣
Help, My dendrobium has what looks like water stains on,the leaves....it does not,wipe off....the plant is growing but all the older leaves look sick...new growth seems fine...I put it outside alone, and it has light and water ...the stains are on,the top,and bottom of the leaves....no bugs ... What should I do?. I,can find anything on line or in your videos that look,like this . Help please
Hey Danny. I just bought my first ever Phalaenopsis Bellina and to be honest I am a bit nervous. Can you give me some tips for how to properly care for her?? Or should I be careful for some things? Thanks.
Paula from Mexico. Question: MSU, I have been using it. Ed Orchids said that the MSU doesn’t have enough potassium in it. Then in one of your links on potassium it said the potassium levels should be at least 300 per what ever. What do you think do you use a potassium supplement with MSU. If so what?????
You always need to think about your context, yellow leaves can also mean crown rot, too much light, sun burn, magnesium deficiency, nitrogen deficiency, dehydration and 100 more things. You need to find the problem you have, not other people might have. Also don't take so literal whatever anyone on the internet says, we are all biased to some extent, some more than others. Take things logically, don't stress too much about every little detail and what everyone says. Focus on your situation and see what applies, what doesn't, who makes sense for you, who doesn't. Hope you find the source of your problems, if indeed you have any! Your orchids might be just fine actually 😉
"Orchids have no gender" Immediately me: "But...CATASETUMs!"" (although technically they are hermaphrodite but can choose to be male or female, depending how they feel like)
I bought a "orchid grow bulb" that is pinkish/purple I live in Colorado USA. I also have a bedroom window that is about 8 feet from plants. it lights up room but never falls on my Phals. I have the grow bulb about 3 feet from plants. Am I giving them too much light?

Thanks Danny. These little guys are in the best care !!! Can imagine mom's smile 😊.
🧡 ps: the muscadine 'boihar' is opening! 😍
@@MissOrchidGirl yes Danny ♥️
I've been looking forward to this update and as usual you've amazed me with the results. Super cool, thank you.
I know, I'm quite surprised too, the setup is definitely staying!
Wow nice and beautiful orchids collection love this thanks for sharing this video...
Very good video. Your Phals. are very beautiful and healthy looking. Thanks for sharing how you grow them .🤗
Great video Danny, you are always so informative. Thank you

- Thank You for showing your wonderful orchids, they're really much greener. I'm learning so much from your videos!!! (Totally new to orchids.)
All the leaves are so shiny! Almost sparkling : )
They are all looking great 👍.
So cool that you talked about the showering part, I’ve seen some UA-camrs and comments talking about that subject and how they think that just because it happens in nature, they asume that the same conditions will replicate in their environment (which can actually happen) but it’s not white or black, and I think that’s an awesome lesson of the hobby: something might work for you, but could be a death sentence for someone else’s orchid.
Glad that Gigabel is growing well ! :) I had no doubt that you will take good care of those orchids . I hope they will bring you joy !
Yaay glad you saw this video! Ahhh can't wait for the blooms, thanks so much! 🧡
@@MissOrchidGirl :) I don't miss any of your video's ! Keep up the good work !
I'm impressed with the collection you got they all look beautiful Danny love seeing all your videos 😘

It can also be a curse - what used to be a small grocery store Vanda pachara delight is now a 2.5 foot tall monster with roots just as long 😂😂

Hello Miss Danny! Love your videos. Btw, how often do you use pesticide/fungicide on your orchids?
hey Danni! loving your videos a lot!

How do your orchid leaves shine so much? Do you use a leaf shine product?
I have got a phal. Brother ambo passion recently brought, changed from the original moss and put in bark and I see that the roots aren't so good. They start to damage. I'm afraid that I'm gonna lose it. What should I do in this case? Please!🙏
Hi Danny! Love your videos!!! I have learn a lot with them. Which leaf shine spray do you use?
i would like to know this too👍
Hi Danny! How do you make your phalaenopsis leaves shine? I am a beginner phalaenopsis lover. And I am fan of yours here in the Philippines. I like your all pots I hope I can have that too 😊
Hi, My question is can I make my own pots from clear plastic containers if I drill the holes in them?
Hy i got a orchid plant as a gift in a glass pot without drainage and any pebble medium underneath.. what do i do now?
Thank you
Hi my phalarnopsis orchid is blooming and growing taller. Do I need to repot it in bigger pot? Please advise

@@MissOrchidGirl okay so are like fine lines on the leaves of the brass meaning it needs watering more often? And thanks!
@@MissOrchidGirl Also I should probably have mentioned that is a fairly young plant.
Where are you from? It's quite amazing to hear a word in your language....roumanien. I'm talking about mine...😁 "Rotund" 😊
How to get these to bloom? I have a flower spike from last year but no new bloom.
She has a few videos on this topic
Caitlin Smith ...Not for Summer bloomer specifically
Hi, youtube search 'missorchidgirl rebloom phalaenopsis' I have quite a few tutorials each a bit different. See which one sounds more interesting ☺️

hello dany, i'm wondering which camera you're using to record ?
Hi,great info on bulbs.Can you tell me what is the name of the bulbs from IKEA,what is the "k" number.thanks in advance.
Did anyone else get major anxiety while she was spraying the orchids? Just me? 🤣🤣 I think it’s been so drilled into me to never let water get in the crown that I now believe crown rot or other issues will form if water even comes in contact with the middle of the orchid. 🤣
How to water that orchids ?
Help, My dendrobium has what looks like water stains on,the leaves....it does not,wipe off....the plant is growing but all the older leaves look sick...new growth seems fine...I put it outside alone, and it has light and water ...the stains are on,the top,and bottom of the leaves....no bugs ...
What should I do?.
I,can find anything on line or in your videos that look,like this .
Help please
I have hard water in my area. It's hot, but I'd be afraid to shower them because of that...
Hey Danny.
I just bought my first ever Phalaenopsis Bellina and to be honest I am a bit nervous.
Can you give me some tips for how to properly care for her??
Or should I be careful for some things?
Thanks.
Hi, she takes the same care as any other Phal, just that she prefers warm temps and will generally bloom in warm seasons ☺️
@@MissOrchidGirl thank you so much. I really hope that she will do great

Hi, I don't use potassium suppliments with the MSU, I'm happy with the formula as it is, so not sure what to tell you 🤷
MissOrchidGirl the link you posted on potassium said that yellowing of not old leaves was a sign of potassium deficiency.
MissOrchidGirl Thank You for your reply, I won’t worry about it. They are like our children we worry about them.
You always need to think about your context, yellow leaves can also mean crown rot, too much light, sun burn, magnesium deficiency, nitrogen deficiency, dehydration and 100 more things.

MissOrchidGirl Thank You
How do the springtails react to the oil treatment??? Did you loss them????
Hi, springtails don't sit on the plants, but in the soil. So I didn't have any issues ☺️
MissOrchidGirl ok,didn’t think of that,I don’t know if I have any springtails or not, wish I did they seem very beneficial.
I call my plants he and she too!
"Orchids have no gender"
Immediately me: "But...CATASETUMs!"" (although technically they are hermaphrodite but can choose to be male or female, depending how they feel like)
I thought you called your orchids "she" because they were pretty. 😄
I bought a "orchid grow bulb" that is pinkish/purple I live in Colorado USA. I also have a bedroom window that is about 8 feet from plants. it lights up room but never falls on my Phals. I have the grow bulb about 3 feet from plants. Am I giving them too much light?
