I live in Cape Town, South Africa, where we have a Mediterranean climate. Minimum temperatures about 5-8 Celsius in Winter with lots of rain, and no snow, and not more than 35 C in mid-summer. I have masses of Nobile Dendrobia growing in 40cm diameter ceramic pots outside all year round, and they do VERY well. In fact I can't keep up with the Keikis they produce. They flower mostly in late winter early spring, but I can see flowers into early summer. They are uncomplaining and very sturdy, and produce beautiful green new shoots, and, as you say, like lots of water in hot months. Thanks for the instructive videos!
I keep mine outside year-round. But, the climate here in Tampa Bay is opposite to Mediterranean climate, our winters are warm and dry and the summers are super rainy. So they get to warm up quickly after a cool spell or evenings and helps keep them dry. I do bring them inside every few years when we have a cold spell of temperatures going below 10C. The nobiles still get enough of a cool dry rest and do great. I also keep them in a sheltered location from north winds.
I live in SouthEast US (Atlanta, Georgia) I would recommend leaving your Nobile type orchids outside when the temps drop below 50. They REALLY like the temp drop and it will help them bloom better. I tested this with last winter and left them outside when the temps dropped to 45 and they loved it! Maybe test 1 nobile this winter? Love your videos! :-)
Living not too far from your area. What's the lowest temp your Nobiles have been exposed to? I just got my first two and wondering if I should get them indoors if temps drop below 50s? Can they stand Georgia's full sun? Especially, during summertime? Thanks a ton!
My mum and I keep our nobiles, kingianums, and kingianum "look-a-likes" outside under cover or in a greenhouse all year round. We are from coastal South Australia, so I think our climate is similar to yours Danni. The only time we bring them inside is if a hard frost is forecast or if the temperature is above 45C.
Mine were out in the summer. The old leaves were not pretty so they were isolated outside. The new growth is great. Now it will be winter and leds are not warm. The ones in a cool kitchen but close to a light and the kitchen sink are blooming!
Could you please tell that after the dendrobium phalaneopsis have done blooming from the top of the plant will new leaves sprout from the cane which flowered from the top?
Hello ... I was gifted with a beautiful dendrobium in Sept - with a bloom spike. Well, just last month (Oct) it bloomed beautifully, but I noticed that the leaves went limp, and the one off shoot looks really dry (it is yellow from top to bottom). The roots look to be a pale brown. I had to repot it when I got it, as the roots were horrible, and I had to take it apart to clean them out to repot. What should I do after the blooms have fallen off? I am from the Caribbean and I keep the plant on the porch where it gets full bright sunlight (away from direct sun), it gets wet from the rain sometimes (only if the rains are heavy) and I dunk it in rain water every other day, but not after heavy rains. I use coals and pebbles as a growth media, and have fertilised it once with epsom salts (before the spike bloomed).
New to orchids, I got a rescue dendrobium that is in SAD repare, it was planted in sponge..... killed all roots..... any suggestions on what of your videos to watch for fixing her would be great! I've been on your page 24/7 the past few days learning a ton. I wish I knew the variety so I could adjust my care better
She has a couple videos about developing new root growth. Essentially you want to maintain moisture around where the roots will come from but also provide some ventilation. A common method is to put moist sphagnum moss loosely around the root area. This will encourage new roots with time. This often includes putting the orchid in a tall container (usually a clear vase or something) so the whole area around the orchid maintains more moisture. Hope that helps/makes sense.
@@Eryalb thank you! Just found some videos about about that last night actually. The only thing I'm nervous about is getting everything fully trimmed back..... at first I've left what .... well... it looks quite sad.. the sponge is stuck to everything and it's all mush. Just the whole cutting everything completely back part makes me so nervous. I cant find a video of her completely taking roots off something while in video frame the whole time so I can see her do it and how close she goes to what parts... I dont want to kill this baby. But with no help she was a complete lost cause
@@jessicalyn9899 To cut the roots, sterilize the scizzors by soaking them in alcohol. Some people also put the scizzors to a flame after the alcohol. It is good to cut away the roots if they are dead. Or just pull them off if they come apart easily and are mushy. Dead roots will only take energy from the orchid and cause further decay as they decompose
Morning Danny. I have a Phal that is growing a new leaf but it is green with brown spots on it. Can you tell me what this means? Could it be related to fertilizer ? I have not had this happen before. Thank you 🙏
Hi Danny.I recently watched your old videos on nutrient defiency.My fertilizer contain only NPK,no micronutrients.It's hard to find balanced fertilizer in my area.Do you still recommend epsom salt for magnesium supplement?What should I beware of?Thank you
It terms of when to water- If you only have a few orchids, do you think you could weigh the orchid with a small food scale when it is fully dry and then again after a good watering, record those weights and when in doubt weigh the orchid to see how close you to it’s dry weight?
Hi, you could but you'll need to account for the 'weight gain' of the orchid as it grows. It's better to just learn by how the medium looks or feels ;)
I just wanted to know but my cattleya (i pollenated 1 and removed the pollen from the other) and i know the flowers are supposed to start dying but they feel like sort of a thin paper i dont know if there fine or i am giving them too much sun
Help! I have a cymbidium orchid that I think that have fusarium, but there’s something strange, I already cut the half of the plant (the old pseudobulbs) and the rizhome have a fusarium color ring, but I cutted a pseudobulb that I removed on halfs and there wasn’t a ring, Was that a good thing? I’m thinking that as the flower have a little of red on it the coloration might be the redish-purple ring that I saw and the grow, rings? That can be seen without cutting are kind of redish, please someone advise me what to do
It has some healthy roots, it always lose the leaves from old pseudobulbs, I had it for more than one year and a half, it grew 2 pseudobulbs, never bloomed (It had the winter rest)
I have a dendrobium that I ordered in July, it came with almost no roots. It's growing a new cane but no new roots yet. How do I get new roots to grow?
Have dendrobium phalaenopsis types in 20 cm diameter pots. Putting them in small pots as a must is not true at all What I noticed though is that they don’t want to be wobbly. So, I make sure that they’re secure in their pots or else new growths or roots might not happen.
Hello Danny, I just got my first dendrobium last week. It's a nobilie type. I got them with flowers and a new cane starting to grow. It is just the start of Autumn in my area. Should I water them during winter or give them winter rest? Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned so much about dendrobium orchids now. I don't think I would have tried them if I didn't know your channel. -- Abi
abirami nandagopal water in winter but give a few days of dry media before watering again. and give less water so it can dry out in a few days instead of 2 weeks. this is what i did last winter and the dendrobium thats known to make a lot of keikis didnt make any. happy growing!

Does sun burn matters on this orchids?
Spots from too much hydration and fertilizers or not enough?
Thanks for the video danny

Дендробиум super👍🌸🌸
Are you still making videos for Miss Aqua Girl?
I have a dendrobium that I ordered in July, it came with almost no roots. It's growing a new cane but no new roots yet. How do I get new roots to grow?
try to let it be in a.moist medium, maybe it will grow new ones, i.used to do.thosw
you just have to wait. in the middle of growing the new cane, new roots will start poking out. the timing is dependent on genetics
How many months does a Dendrobium bulb mature? After mine lost it's flowers a new bulb appears and I'm wondering if it will bloom for me hahaha
Mine blooms once a year
@@imb5128 in new bulbs or they also bloom on old ones?
Justen Carlo nobile or similar types can bloom from any available eye on the cane but phaelanopsis types only bloom on new canes
Have dendrobium phalaenopsis types in 20 cm diameter pots. Putting them in small pots as a must is not true at all
