Orchid Species Vs. Hybrids - Differences, the good & the bad!

- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Today we talk about orchid species and hybrids, compare them, explain what they are and better understand the role of both of them!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Orchid species, also called botanical species, are those orchids which you can also find in nature as you see them in cultivation. This does not mean they are obtained from the wild, this happened a long time ago. They are all propagated by humans in cultivation.
Hybrids are crosses of species between them, with other hybrids and even with other compatible genera. They don't normally occur in nature, since most species crossed together are not even found in the same geographical location.
Species are usually more genetically stable, if we disregard the lack of 'natural selection' from cultivators. They are perfectly adapted to the locations they grow in naturally. Some species might have features we don't like, such as odor, or difficult growth habit.
Hybrids are more unstable and can surprise us with their appearance and behavior. Since they don't have a natural location, they are usually not really well adapted to any geographical location. Some orchids can come close and can do well in certain areas, but these instances are rather rare. Many hybrids have lost some features, such as fragrance, which can be a good thing, or a bad thing.
Both species and hybrids are actually wonderful and put a smile on people's faces everywhere. No need to put one down to elevate the other, it makes 0 difference ;)

Bought my first vanda yesterday after watching you work with yours! You inspired me to take the plunge.
I love the way you explained this i really needed to understand what the differences were and this was a great breakdown! Thankyou!
Danny... I think the time is near to consider penning a book. A good publishing company can do wonders by compiling all your past videos into one very accurate and informative (illustrated) book or series of books. Everything is on your side; it is not as though you are an unknown, you are well-known worldwide and highly respected. Of any person's name in the world of orchids, yours is heard loud and clearly... Thanks for all you do for our community.
Hi John, that's so very nice of you, thank you! I am not sure I reached book writing levels yet and I don't know if it would be a good one anyway. Think my strong point for now are videos, but never say never I guess 😄
Thats a brilliant idea!!
@@MissOrchidGirl i would get one, no matter who does... 🙃😃
:) I was thinking today about this... A name for the first book popped up in my head ! :D "Miss Orchid Girl's orchid guide for dummies" ! I would definitely buy a book from Dani !
:))) my subs are not dummies! :P
I prefer species but solely from a growing point. Species tend to require really specific conditions and for me, I like the challenge of getting those conditions right.
Very informative! You explained the difference so eloquently.
Thank you Danny for sharing so many new things about orchids. I love orchids so I watch your channel regularly. From India north East.
Hi i got my first orchid one of my neighbor gave me...heheheh...thank you so much...your channel makes me happy...
Hello,
Last Monday, I bought myself a Vanilla orchid in the flower shop and because of this I'm very interested in this orchid now. I potted it in Cocohum (at least we call it this way in Germany) mixed with bark an big pieces of Seramis and it's doing fantastic so far with many new aerial roots (maybe because I spray it daily). I'm very interested in the progress of your Vanilla, so will be there an update soon?
Greetings
Leonard
Very nicely done,
Good evolution lesson.
Especially agree with your comment about not taking orchids from the wild!
Your aphyllum is in bloom already!! Here in its natural climate it hasn t even set nubbins. And only yesterday i saw tiny nubbins on my mounted species nobile. Both are at home here!
Hi Danny. Very informative and another great vid. Thank you.
Rowan
Very, very interesting !
Hi Danni, pls tell us what the green orchid with the yellow edges is. I've seen it in several of your videos. Thanks
It's a very long time since this video, but do you have an ID on the mini phal on the bottom left at 14:30? I just picked up a NOID one from the grocery store that looks very similar. Thanks!
Very enjoyable video! You mention the cool growing cloud forest orchids a couple of times - have you ever grown Odontoglossum crispum / Oncidium alexandrae (whichever you prefer to call it)?
I prefer species and primary hybrids, but some of my favorite complex hybrids are "Rothara Yokosuka Story" and "Potinara Burana Angel 'Living Fire'", oh and Phal Miva Smartissimo 😊
I have the burana beauty! I guess it will bloom this year! I am drooling over the tantalizing fragrance
@@oishd6077 I mistyped, it's "Burana Angel" but it has the Burana Beauty in its ancestry. I hope it will be fragrant this time around, but the red and orange flowers are more than enough 😊
@@o_o8203 oouukkk... Alrighty! I am gonna go hunt the angel now 😂😂
@@oishd6077 I got it at Norman's Orchids for $25, they ship in the US 👍👍👍 it transitioned to semi-hydro wonderfully. Good luck!
@@o_o8203 thanks but in india we dont have norman's here we have orchid-tree stores 😅
Good morning, great video very informative. I have a question concerning watering. I have self watering pots, in the reservior there is a solution that has my general feed, when I want to add cal mag to the resevoir do I have to empty it or do i just add it to the pot which still have some fertilizer in it? Im not sure of what to do. Thanks again Have a great day.
I have a guaranthe skinneri “Heidi jacobs” does that mean it’s a hybrid?
When do most of your paphippedilums and phragmipediums bloom?
What about the hybrids occurring in nature? Species can cross on their on in the wild.
Hi, there are very few known natural hybrids, I could count them on my hands I believe :) hybrids don't usually thrive in nature probably due to how inadequate they may be. They do look great to us, but out there they may be misfits and just wither off if they happen. That's just my guess as to why there aren't that many natural hybrids 🤷🏻♀
