Glad to hear that D. harveyanum isn't that easy. Struggeling with mine for some time now. Got it potted in spagnum, where it lost all its leaves and many of its roots. Now repotted it in small sized bark, whre it starts to get 6 new pseudobulbes, but unfortunately half of them got black. Hope to safe the rest. There are growing very slow. Find your videos very helpful and enjoyable to watch. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Hi Danni, I'm east coast of Australia and have several Lodgessii and they have not done well for me in LECA. I have changes them to sphagnum moss are doing a lot better. Just thought I'd let you know.
Please share a video when you repot your Den. loddigessi ♥ I have one as well, it's mounted right now but quickly outgrowing the wood slab. I also did not realize it's a cool-grower, it was labelled as a warm-grower when I bought it. Woops!
Den.Anosmum is an endemic orchid to the Philippines grows more than 1 meter! Very fragrant flowers at night. Light violet colored. With some pink variety and white.
This is my second year with an anosmum and its buds opened this morning. It didn't bloom last year. A very lovely flower. Oh! Have to tell you that I found a Catatante on sale (half price) at one of my favorite nurseries so I bought one. I sure hope it will do fine outdoors in my shade area in s. FL USA. Like the snowflake idea. I use a different colored label for my winter resters. My Latouria types like lots of water during our hot, s.e. FL summers. You should check out the Bruce Gordon Latouria. It has a gorgeous flower.
Hello Dannie, just getting into orchids, loving it! You mention your climate and growing room. Can you tell us where you live and show us what your growing room looks like? Thanks!
Ahhhh the spectabile 😍 lovely Dens! Cute snowflake label idea haha. Prediction: I think you will like the Latouria dens in the future. I have the Den atroviolaceum and omg she is marvelous! Smells like vanilla cookies 😊🍪 and that vibrant purple edging on the lip, just wow.
Loved the video, Danny! I really enjoy growing dendrobiums too. The nobile-types were the ones that got me into the orchid hobby, but I've been trying out other ones too. I've had some ups and downs, but overall it's been really exciting trying out new orchids. I'm growing all of my dendrobiums staked at the moment, but I want to try letting one of my Dendrobium victoria-reginaes grow pendant.
Dani.... semi doesn’t work on most medium to big size dens. You have to add coconut husk pieces. The roots needs a lot of water and they will get in to the husk pieces and grow better. In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰....They mainly grow very well outside naturally semi shaded places, hanging or on walls ala they have plenty water.
Hi Danny, could you make a video on Den phal flower spikes, new growths and keikis. I have a polar fire with what seemed like a flower spike on an old cane but now looks suspicious, and it is also producing a nubbin on the other side at the top too. Also i have a very young dendrobium stardust firebird which has a small nub growing which is neither at the top or at the base of the plant so i am confused as to whether these are keikis or flower spikes as they don't appear to be new growths/canes! Also Its quite young can it even flower yet? I can't find any videos discussing these issues especially on den phals. Your input would be great!
Hello Dani. Still loving your videos! Since you mentioned that you were interested in collecting more pendulous dendrobiums, I thought you might be interested in one I just ordered - a dendrochilum bicallosum, which from the pics looks like a stunner, creating pendulous salmon colored flowers that twist like a double helix... and supposedly fragrant too. Anyway, I'm looking forward to my package arriving and would get a kick if you happened to acquire one so I can follow along with my experiment.
You should probably consider the mosschatum and fimbriatum too... The moschatum gas lovely pastel blooms with a heavy musk smell..plus bonus it is tooo vigorous in warm climates.. Ans similarly the fimbriatum with two week long lasting fragrant golden blooms on a vigorous plant! I have them growing in clay pots, in cocopeat in full sun on a concrete floor and absolutely no issue! And i get high temps too like upto 33 •C.. But they are here in their natural habitat.
Hi Danny. Think I learned to identify my Berry Oda by its odd shape buds before opening. Looks like a purplish miniature banana. Mines came mislabeled and after two months is still in bloom -fantastic species. Have you to thank to push me to dendrobiums. I have a problem with rest, Is like throwing a potatoe in a sack to wait for it to root. Good luck... on your hopefully !!!
Would you ever just put a dendobrium in a bigger pot with all of the media as is because it has lots of new roots ready to expand or would you always clean up the roots?
That's exciting your going to look into getting more Australian orchids as I live in Australia and only have 2 den in my whole collection. One is what we call a Cooktown orchid, purple colour. I received it as a division from a customer at my work. Was her Mothers for over 40 years and lived in a old mango tree. I have a video of it on my channel. It's just bloomed for me and it's the sweetest little flower. The other is a Purple Pepper something...Long needle like leaves like a Brassavola and small white spindly like blooms If your going to invest in some and give feedback then I Will deff buy some more and try along with you. =)))
Hello Danny! I have a question for you. If you reply, I'd be so happy. Recently I purchased a cattleya and I couldn't find the brand of bark medium I always use, so I tried a different brand and repot the cattleya. Then I found out that this bark doesn't hold the water and completly dries out after only few hours! So, what would you suggest me, should I repot the orchid with a different bark knowing that it will stress the orchid way too much? Or simply let it be like this with the bark that doesn't hold the water? Hope you'll answer me. Love you, bye!
Hi, tipicaly bark which really repels water is good quality, it should last you longer than others :) orchiata and kiwi bark are the best ones on the market. You can balance it out by mixing a bit of moss with it, or soak the orchid for 15 mins or so when watering. As it ages the bark will become more water retentive :)
Hi Dani, I was wondering if I could ask for your help? I bought a dendrobium nobile from the supermarket about a month ago and it was in bloom. It slowly lost its blooms, and I was thinking if repotting it, but I found what looks like a flower spike and keiki starting to grow. Can I ask your advice? Should I repot it? Ps I live in the Scottish Islands and this dendrobium sits 4 feet from a SW facing window, temp approx 19c. Xxx
I was thinking of sending you a Dendrobium kingianum in pink. But postage is sooooo expensive! They are native to my area, I’m purchasing a larger plant for $5!
Danny, What about the Dendrobium Hancockii? This is a Dend species that is from China and the flowers are a bright yellow that smell of honey. It looks almost like bamboo.
Hello! I am curious to see how is your Dendrobium amethystoglossum doing? Last time you filmed it, a year ago, you said that you still cannot give care tutorial about him, did that change now :) ?
Hello Danny, can you please tell me in which medium are your Dendrobium lawesii and glomeratum are growing? I see the top layer of bark, but I was wondering what was in the pots! Thank you :-)
I have some orchids seeds, but I don't know what kind. This is the first time I've tried to grow them. What I like to know have you started with seeds?
Hi, usually orchid seeds for sale are a scam :( the process of seed propagation is a very complicated one and cannot be done in a home, here's more on the subject ua-cam.com/video/TM4Ctd1uEcY/v-deo.html
I have the chrysotoxum and i have to say that it is fulllll sun tolerant.. And it is very vigorous like a denphal. Flowers too smell of honey but the downside is, the flowers last just so less:5-7 days only!. BTW... Why not make a berry oda specimen!!! And i live in aphyllum's native habitat, and my aunt's aphyllum has mannny 1.5 meter long canes..
MissOrchidGirl Hi has bought some liquid paraffin do I mix this with water and mild soap but how much of each as I can’t find your video showing the ratio to get rid of spider mite. Also I bought hydrogen peroxide and some Epsom salts again how much do I mix with water for feed. Thank you for your help I love your orchids by the way!
2% Eco oil, 5% eco dish soap, 10% isopropyl alcohol, 80% rain water. Spray bottle mix - all surfaces. Wash off after 10 minutes and dry all leaves, crowns especially in fresh air until completely dry. Repeat everyweek for 2 - 4 weeks.
Glad you did merch but I feel you could do better!! Orchids are so beautiful how come you didn't do a pretty print? Sorry to be a buzz kill ahead of time ☺☺☺ but I think you can do a cute image for your channel.
No worries, I already did, but those will be collectables and not always available :) I personally prefer my logo for my channel brand, looks professional and it has sentimental value :)

Hi Danni, So so happy you love our beautiful orchids down here. I am addicted to kingianums and speciosum hybrids. They are tough, beautiful and smell like amazing. Check out one of our biggest nurseries. I go crazy and have just purchased my first flask. www.australianorchids.com.au/collections/dendrobiums/products/dendrobium-jazz-windsor-downs-x-aussie-parade-carrot-slash-50mm-seedling
I live in subtropical Eastern Australia, a Dendrobium hotspot. So, naturally, my collection is filled with Australian native Dendrobiums.
Glad to hear that D. harveyanum isn't that easy. Struggeling with mine for some time now. Got it potted in spagnum, where it lost all its leaves and many of its roots.

Good information about Dendrobium, liked it. Learn so much about orchid from you. Den. Aphyllum grows very well in India.

Not sure about LECA for Aussie Dens. All mine are in bark and perlite. They love to dry out as is our harsh climate

Which one is the orchid at 20:28 ? 😅
I’m leaning towards cleaning up the roots because of the spent medium

Love your orchid videos
Hello! I am curious to see how is your Dendrobium amethystoglossum doing? Last time you filmed it, a year ago, you said that you still cannot give care tutorial about him, did that change now :) ?
You should try dendrobium from section sphatulata..
Hello Danny, can you please tell me in which medium are your Dendrobium lawesii and glomeratum are growing? I see the top layer of bark, but I was wondering what was in the pots! Thank you :-)
How long does it take a dendrobium orchid (phalenopsis type)with not a real good root system to acclimate to semi-hydro.
Do you think micro chip needs a winter rest?

Yes Cyprus :) I think the store doesn’t matter 🤭

Great sharing
I have two that i just put in a bigger pot but not impressive results
Hi could you please give the receipt ratio again for the insecticide and feed you did thankyou sandy
Hi, not sure what feed you are referring to, but if you mean the oil recipe, it's 2% maximum, 1% for mild infestation.

I went to a shop and they were pricing Dendrobium for 70$ it’s like what’s the point
