Thank you for this video. I have wanted to purchase a Talumnia for a long time. I was afraid I would not be able to take care of it. You have given me the confidence 🙂 to grow them now!
I only have one attached to a small wood trunk outside in my garden, growing lots of roots right now. I water it 2x a day and hope it will grow a spike soon, I love this plant. Thank you for your video on tolumnias, very interesting as usual.
I’m so enjoying your channel and learning a lot.I’ve just watched your video on growing Tolumnias.I would never have considered purchasing one until I watched your video.I love the colours-they’re stunning- I think I could become addicted to them!
I've got Tolumnias under grow light, and they like it much better here than they did on eastern windowsill. Or maybe that's because they're in a glass cabinet, which tends to be bit more warm and humid than rest of the room. Either way, they're great! You're the one that made me buy them, and I'm so grateful. They're so cute in person, and the blooms are just
Hi Dani, this video came at just the right time for me! I recently purchased three Tolunmias and so far they are still alive and growing! Thanks so much for this video! 😍😍😍😍
Such a timely video. I am in Bangalore, India and had tolumnias mounted on wood. Though they were growing great with new shoots, it was just not blooming. I believe its lack of humidity or water.. anyhow i removed them from mount and moved them to pots. Fingers crossed this works for them.
First, thanks for the update video! I was waiting for this one! I got hooked on tolumnias by you! I am currently growing all my tolumnia in pots under grow lights since I live in the basement. I have a few mounted as well and some are starting to bloom! Thanks for the information!
I’ve tried growing them in small pots in my living room in the Netherlands. Unfortunately the winter humidity is too low, and the daytime temperature is between 18-21 C which is slightly too low. The medium stays too wet too long and causes the roots to rot. Now I have them without medium in plastic pots and let them dry out before watering again. Works better for me.
Hoi, hoe gaat het nu met je orchideeën? Ik ben een beginnend liefhebber en ben nog erg opzoek naar de juiste omstandigheden voor mijn orchideeën, ook vooral qua watergeven, omdat ik het idee heb dat ze soms veel te lang nat blijven staan. Heb je misschien tips?
Hi Danny! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! I only have 4 orchids but that's from a lack of space...2 phals that are blooming, a vanda I just took the leap and potted and my little tolumnia jairak firm 'orange spread' that my husband let me get for Christmas! They give me so much joy! I've spread your youtube name all over the place cause you've always had good advice! Thank you so much from central Texas, USA.
Awesome, thanks for a new guide on Tolumnias. Been looking forward to it. I have two purchased a few months ago that have been flowering since. They’re potted in what looks like a gravel medium but plan to convert to bark n spag after flowering. Rest of my orchids are in bark n spag moss because I also live in hot dry or wet summer but cold dry winter climate. I just hope they won’t set back too much when I convert from different potting medium 🤞
Thank you for this video. I just purchased three tiny tolumnias that are mounted on slabs. I see you have yours in pots with bark medium. Should I repot 1-2 inch tolumnias?
Thank you for covering Tolumnia orchids. I just purchased 4 seedling plants from a local orchid event and they came bare rooted in tiny plastic baskets. I added a bit of sphagnum moss to each basket, and they are hanging upside down in a SW window. I mist the roots every day and soak them about once a week. I am thinking about putting them in clay pots, and your information is helpful. I am in the USA (Ohio) and grow my small collection in my plant room.
Hi Danny have a tale of an oncidium my heaven scent who btw is in bloom now with two spikes. This guy which when was purchased was a fairly large orchid and consistently has given a terrific show of flowers. Yeah if you find it in store, buy it !!! Anyways a back bulb was getting discolored wrinkly and looking old so I decided to cut off. But instead of discarding wondered what if I soaked it in spagnum moss ? To my surprise pushed out a keiki with roots before swivelling away. Keiki is doing well on a window sill and hopefully will push new ones eventually, a new orchid in its own.
Every time I think I know what all the different orchids are you post a video! Love these vids as I have only been successful will phalanopsis for a few months now
I have my first orchid, a tolumnia, and I’m curious what slow release fertilizer you recommend? I bought it as a starter bare root plant so I’m really hoping to be successful. Thanks!
...YES!!! I LIKE TOLUMNIAS🤗. . . i mounted 3 in a broken clay pot, i mounted 4 in a cork bark and got 1 potted in a plastic. . . Mmmmmmm i kinda want to pot them all in a plastic afyer watching your video😅. . .because they dry so fast on mounts. . .can see some roots that are dried. . . THANK YOU for the insight MOG😘...
I live in New Jersey and it’s pretty humid most of the year so I have to grow all of my “drier” orchids like tolumina, encyclica, etc in just plain lecca and I mist and water it as needed. They roots rot so easily for me but since lecca holds water it works pretty well for me. I don’t mean semi hydro. I let it dry and water it just like any other orchid. I’ve noticed too much moss stays wet too long in my area.
I love reading other grower's input in Danny's comments!! Thanks for the input. Here in Texas, even indoors my moss dries out in 2-3 days. Definitely looking forward to cooler weather for about 3 months lol
@@stephaniesands119 yeah even though I have to water more often with just lecca it definitely helps prevent root rot for me. The rest I grow in a mix of lecca and moss instead of bark. It stays airy and lasts longer since its mostly inorganic.
Tolumnia are my favorite! 😁 I grow under lights, and it seems to suit them just fine. Like Nick, I also grow in leca so they can drain fast and get lots of air. I've found it works nicely to plant the tolumnia in a basket in leca, but then to put the basket into a slightly larger clay pot, with the space between the basket and the sides of the pot filled with sphagnum. That way, the leca lets water run through, but the sphagnum keeps the local humidity around the basket high. The plants seem to be liking it so far!
@@JEcklar That's a good idea. I've thought about putting some moss in the pots with just leca but I've had so much root rot issues that I'd rather water twice a day for now until they get better but some are really bouncing back with just leca. I also use distilled water with pH down with all of my orchids. It's somewhere between 5-6 ish since leca tends to raise the pH according to some sites just another fun fact that I do haha. But all the rest of my orchids are a mix of moss and leca instead of bark.
Hi Danny, I have 4 tolumnias jairak, two are doing well, two are not. I don’t seem to have been able to give them the right growing environment so far, but I will keep on trying and maybe buy some more but from another grower. The ones I have are all from the same grower. Thanks Danny.
Great video and timely. I am from the "Lesser Antilles" in the Caribbean, and it is pronounced: "Ant-till-eez".Just thought I should let you know. Thanks for this - will look out for tolumnia orchids in my neck of the woods.
I guess ‘antilleez’ it is in English, for people with a Romance language basis like Danny I can understand why it would be pronounced ‘antils’. It is a very useful video.
Hello, Danny! I'm a beginner orchid enthusiast and found myself in lack of information about one orchid. Sorry for poor grammar😅 Several days ago I absolutely fell in love with this hybrid, Dendrobium Hibiki, found it on the exhibition, bought a good healthy one, but found zero to no specific information about how to care for it, besides the basic dendrobium care... And in one of your videos (Orchids in Bloom - August 2020) Dendrobium Hibiki made one and only appearance, which I specifically searched hoping you had one, just to gather some care tips from you (because I trust your knowledge and learned a ton from your videos), but back then you said you only got that one as a new plant and didn't know exactly how it'd do. Hope it won't bother you too much and is ok if I ask, what experience do you have with Dendrobium Hibiki? Is it still in your collection and how does it feel? And, does it really need a winter rest? And if someone can share some care tips I'd be very grateful! Thank you in advance!
In this photo of you showing the bloom in the lighting shelf area, what plants are you growing on bottom shelves are they for you fish tank? What are they called? Thank you Connie Irwin it's 1:38/24.52 in the video Thank you. I just bought a miniature coffee orchid.it has 4 stems! 2 blooming. Trying to get it adjusted. I have 2 more I've kept outside over summer . we are just beginning high 60s at night. I live in the 🇺🇸 CENTRAL GEORGIA. I enjoy your shows and the fish tank and fish also the plants for gardening for them. IM AN OUTDOOR GIRL 😆!! Thank you for you response. Connie
Hi Dani I have three telumnias but they are really tiny compared to yours in this video they are in a tiny basket and then in a tiny clay pot if their roots start growing how will I be able to transplant them? I wish I could take a picture to show you and one of my tiny ones has a flower spike it’s Jairak firm pink lady it looks like the roots will grow around the tiny little plastic basket that it’s in.
I have 2 small tolumnias that are mounted on corc. I know they like high moisture levels - they are right near of my aquarium - so I guess it have enough - and yet - should I still give it a bit of shpritz of water once a day? How to know they not getting enought
UPDATE ... I have this in my small "collection"!! At first I could not identify it - then I watched this video again, and to find, I have it!! I've had it for about four months - no blooms yet, but I'm hoping for one soon. It has a few keikis and new roots.
Hi, I think that would be a little too wet for me, but it could work with a bit of care ☺️ self watering pots need moss, or other absorbent materials to 'work' and I like a bit more air for my Tolumnias.
Can i ask you about my orchid i should share pictures i have rotted roots but the orchid are in bloom and many new spikes the leaves are dried i did spray with hydroxide and put in a new medium how can i save the roots
As always, Danny., very informative “Thanks” “Take care and be safe” Oh, I wanted to asked you, is the vanilla beans come from an orchid? If so, how hard it is to grow? And have you ever try to grow them yourself?
