If you haven't already thought of it, you might include zooming in on the base of the plants where we nubies can see the pseudobulbs and whatnot, too. Most of the time, I'm not sure what the growth of a certain species looks like. They differ a lot, but it might help us to recognize various orchids and to remember them. Thank you for such intricate presentations!
I love your videos, they are informative and I find that sometimes if you do something that is not right for your orchids you are not afraid to say so. I don't do s/h but I love this hobby, I have orchids for about twelve years. My favourite orchids are often the ones that give me a hard time, like you said! 1:aerangis citrata 2: Rhyncocentrum Lilac Blossom 3: Dendrobium peguanum 4: Dendrobium Hibiki 5: Dendrobium unicum 6: Angraecum scottianum
I have a lot of orchids that have yet to bloom for me but I'd say that Cattleychea Siam Jade is core. Wonderful fragrance akin to jasmine that fills the room, very easy to care for, can bloom twice a year, compact. Then there's the all time popular Cycd Wine Delight, blooms are very fragrant in a way you normally don't expect blooms to smell and in warmer climates its super easy to grow and forgiving if you mess up a year for some reason. And of course my favourite genus is phalaenopsis, so bellina and violacea have to be there. Compact, nice colours, makes your summers fragrant :)
Thank you for always making this videos, I have often referred others to seek your videos for proper advice. In response to your question, I would have these: 1. Taiwan Gold (yellow)(Cycnoches chlorochilon × Mormodes badia) 2. planifolia 'variegated' 3. Warscewiczella Amozonica
I just purchased Nelly Isler!! She is supposed to be in spike. I found her on Ebay. I've had pretty good luck purchasing on ebay and I am so excited because every other place I find her, they are out of stock. I paid more than I typically like to, but I have had such a difficult time finding her, that I just decided if I didn't pull the trigger, I would never have her in my collection. By the way, semi hydroponics has been wonderful. I had a paphiopedalum that I just recently transitioned, (within the last 2 months) and I have a bloom!! I have a fairly large collection of orchids (thanks to your guidance) and all of a sudden I have a large number in spike. They include a bunch of phals, oncidium, paphs and zygopedalum. I'm super excited. This is the first time. I have a few phals that are actually producing a second spike while the first is still in bloom! I think I finally have a system down that works. Again, thanks to you and Michael's guidance. All I can say is thank you so much.
This was a great video. I find that most of your favorites are mine as well. :) Would you consider a "Part 2" showing the runners up that you would want once you had your staples? It's a great way to introduce beginners to your channel about the orchids in your collection that you enjoy most. :)
Personally i would always repurchase my vanda pachara delight x euanthe sanderiana The vibrant indigo/blue color mixed with the interesting flower shape of the sanderiana is to die for
I was just recently lucky enough to find a Pachara delight with no ID in our local Lowe’s store and I immediately bought it on sight! It’s one of my favorites from your collection and now I can count it in my own collection!
My core orchid would have to be. Euanthe sanderiana alba. So beautiful. Crisp white with lime green reticulation. No fragrance but its beauty and sculpture like foliage and roots make up for it. Definetly a must have in my collection. To be honest any vanda and I’m running for it. Haha
My “orchid staples” that will always will be in my collection are: 1. Dendrobium speciosum (Sydney Rock Orchid). 2. Dendrobium kingianum (King Orchid). 3. Cymbidiums (Boat Orchids). 4. Epidendrums (Crucifix Orchids).
Danny I have news!!! I went to an orchid activity in the mall and I found an orchid that looked really similar to the Princess Jackie with an ID!!! I could not detect the fragrance right maybe because it was stressed :/ but the id was C. White bridal x Hawaiian Wedding Song 'Virgin' Hope it helps you! I did not buy it because I dint have the money ;-;
Are you growing strictly in LECA? And please share your growing pots hacks. Are you using a soldering iron to pierce the pots and also the pot covers....liking all of your great information!
You have a great taste with mexican species!!! If you like O. "Sharry Baby", you should try to find Oncidium ornithorrhynchum or Oncidium sotoanum, both are AMAZAING! The flower spikes look like cotton candy and smell like mint-chocolate!!
What a great video! Appreciate and respect your opinions about which orchids you would always repurchase. I do disagree with some of your choices, but that's okay. I totally agree with you on the Miltoniopsis. It is one orchid that I will conquer eventually also. Just love its flowers. As for the catts, I prefer the large flowered, scented ones. Thanks for another informative video. Look forward to more.
The orchids that I would buy again and again if a lose them would be the V. Mimi palmer, the Mokara Moonlight, and the Blc. Fuchs Orange Nugget. The other ones I would repurchase you mentioned them already in the video 😁
Danny, Hey. I'd love if you did an Encyclia care video and an update on the ones you have. Either when they are in bloom or otherwise. They are becoming quite popular these days and I don't see too many videos on them
One of my core orchids is the BLC Copper Queen because she was my first cattleya type and my collection is full of cattleya types. Also the Oncidium Heaven Scent Redolence which is the hybrid of the Sharry Baby and something which I forgot the name of.
hi Dami! I’m wondering why it seems like you get alot of spider mites issues, do you get it even indoors? I grow mine indoors and always worries me every time I hear you talk about it and losing your orchids cause of them. Luckily I haven’t gotten spider mites problems yet knock on wood never will. Thank you for all the info you’ve been proving us😀
With my short career as an orchid lover: dendrobium phalaenopsis type (any, those thrive in my environment), dendrobium nobile (one with pink touch on the petals). Others yet to be seen.
Orchids and more has Brassavola cucullata (the Brassavola flagellaris i got from them was huge, with 30 growths. But some other plant's really weren't that good (one was horrible, but another was great and huge, a couple meh, a couple OK...), so I don't really know what to think of that vendor). I'll always have Pleurothallids - i am lucky enough that i can put them outside during summer, which they seem to like, of Plerothallids, Restrepias and Masdevallias are favourites, with Draculas and Scaphosepalums close behind Other genera are awesome too.... If i hade to name a few favourites: Masdevallia nidifica (which is very temp. tolerant, at least the strain I got from Grossraeschener Orchideen), M. strobelii which died on me and can't find another one (for you, the scent lover: it's supposed to smell like strawberries), Restrepia trichoglossa, that bloomed around 10 times last year, in fall with up to 5 flowers at a time on a small plant, Scaphosepalu beluosum... any Dracula.... ;D Another thing I will not be without are Dendrobiums from section Pedilonum and related sections, of these, D. lawesii is an absolute gem and only orchid I have purposefuly two of - it has so many colourforms (there are rumours of a blue form or a similar blue species... and i am scared I will spend a fortune on it if a get across one). Another group of Dendrobium I really like is the group with hairy canes (IOSPE lists them as Formosae, but they are known also as nigrohirsutae) - they are the ones with long lasting white flowers with often yellow/orange/red centres, that can be huge (D. infundibulum and formosa have flowers as big as some vandas, as do hybrids of those two), or smaller with beautiful patterning on the lip (D. fuerstenbergianum, whih is sadly the only one I own) or they look weird (D. jaintianum, which is close to the top of the wishlist right know, together with D. daklakense). The last thing I won't be without is a weird Oncidium relative - many don't know that Oncidiums have a pretty big alliance, with some really strange plants. Currently I have only a Rodriguezia, but stuff on the wishlist I can barely restrain myself not to buy (i have to eat, sadly. and i don't have much space anymore) are Telipogon, Trichoceros, Fernandezia, (all those three are finnicky cool to cold and MOIST™️ growers, so maybe it's good i don't have them yet... ) Cochlioda, Odontoglossum (have you seen Rogers's naevium?), Comparettia, Trichopilia (supposed to be very fragrant, and some sp. and hybrids tolerant/liking of warmth), and last, but not least - the species Miltoniopsis - I don't know why, but the elegance and fragility of the species just make them so much more atractive to me (check out Miltoniopsis roezlii, if that's not a parent of Herr Alexandrae, i don't know what is, and M. santanae is just angelic)
i do have rebuyer orchid most cattleya. i can buy them until 3 times becouse i'm not succes in growing the first one but i do like them cause they are realy fragrant. cattleya haleahi profusion x bsn maikai x maxima (3x nice fragrant), guaricyclia yucatan (1x vanila like fragrant), cattleya aclandiae alba (2x very fragrant), cattleya yoran greenworth (3x very sweet fragrant), nell hammer orchid (1x very sweet fragrant), & last my favcahuzara hsinying pink doll(3x, very2 fragrant). also oncidium (2x) sharry baby, Vandachostylis Ploenpit Prize (1x very2 sweetfragrant) and also dendrodium (with slim petals usualy have sweet fragrance).
I will always repuchase the encyclia cordigera this is the first orchid that i purchased i loved how it smell but i managed to lose it i got abother one but the same so now i got another one and i guess i finally know how to care about it 😅
I agree with most of your choices but it is nearly impossible to obtain Phal Mini Mark in the US (one recently sold for $90 USD!) or liodoro (also around $100). I would add Miltonia Sunset Yellow Passion.
I can repurchase sharry baby and its other kinds again ,and again,anddd agaiiin...bulbophyllum Elizabeth, sogo yukidean,twinkles,paachara,cattleya king of Taiwan, this are also in my again and again list......
I desperately want the chocolate orchid but I cant find one anywhere. I only have phals (moth orchids) and 2 dendrobiums and today I found thrips on one of them 😭😭 I only got it 2 weeks ago. I love the scented dendrobium it's called something like lucky bird holiday it smells like hyacynth but not so strong.
Hi Danny. I bought an oncidium “heaven scent “ first orchid show I had gone to four months ago. Had two spikes when I bought it then, bloomed and dropped it’s flowers a month ago, and is beginning to push a new spike again. Does oncidiums have aerial roots like a phal ? When I purchased had roots outside the media I was afraid to bury. Every nite I soak those roots in cup of water and can see they absorb water into plant.
Hi Danny, I have your Princess Jackie with me and the name is Cattleya White Bridal 'Yuki' (I hope I don't misidentified your video)... Really love your channel btw... I learnt a lot from you
Renanthopsis Mildred Jameson "Bonsall" HCC/AOS paphiopedilum wenshanense dracula cordobae phalaenopsis Mituo... all of them neofinetias falcata... all of them dendrobiums moniliforme... all of them sedireas japonica... all of them cymbidiums sinense... all of them lycastas... all of them chiloschistas... all of them and so on and so forth)))
Hey again, I'm just wondering if I can soak my phals in fertiliser water instead of flushing the pot with it. Which one is more efficient for the phals?
Totaly agree on your selection :) I have a question and need your experience please! I ordered a phal. tetraspis c1 in winter and replanted it immediately (stupid me - I've learned my lesson). Of course the roots died off and none regrown yet...and I'm getting nervous now...the orchid has only a little root stump which keeps the plant suprisingly hydrated - but what will I do if this stump dies? :S The phal sits in a little glas full of sphagnum moss (air and water ratio seems to fine - nothing rots away) - but no new root growth...can I do more to stimulate root growth? Or is it normal, that this species needs so long to put out new roots?
Monika K. Keep patience and keep Sphagnum moss moist,and also increase humidity around it by using humidity tray,and dont move it to much,keep it stable as possible.......
d v thank you for your reply :) I live in Germany - it's getting pretty warm right now (22-28 ℃ - my flat gets sunlight all day so the warmth is getting trapped kinda which should be beneficial if I manage to keep the moss wet right?) I hope this helps...I just bought new moss (this sphagmoss Danni talked about in the miltonia video - my moss is pretty hard and comes in small pieces). Do you have experienced such a thing like me?
Monika K. Your temp sounds ok,and about moss no ,the moss which I use is not NZ sphagnum but the quality which I use is nice,and don't keep it wet,keep it moist, firstly pot your orchid with new sphagnum moss, keep it stable,and for first watering,soak it,properly and then after a day check the surface if it's feel dry then spray it with water,in this way you can keep the moss moist......
Hello Danny I just recieved my very first orchid and I'm pretty nervous about it. I love house plants and I think I'm pretty good in keeping them alive and healthy but I never had the courage to care for an orchid. I'm not sure what kind it is i think it's a moth orchid that's all the info i can find on it . Can you help please ?

My apartment is colder so i'm happy to learn there are orchids that like colder temperatures. yay!
Great ideas for some beautiful orchids. My Jumping Jack zygopetelum is one of my favorites. Her blooms floor me❤

Beautiful collection 😍😍😍
Frankly ...after watching so many of your vids, I am tempted to start on orchids .. damn gardening is becoming an addiction for me :0)
I have miltonopsis in Hāna on Maui and they love the humidity and temperate temperature 😃
The white catteya is c. Dolosa “gorgeous” I believe ❤️
Danny I have news!!! I went to an orchid activity in the mall and I found an orchid that looked really similar to the Princess Jackie with an ID!!! I could not detect the fragrance right maybe because it was stressed :/ but the id was
C. White bridal x Hawaiian Wedding Song 'Virgin'
Hope it helps you! I did not buy it because I dint have the money ;-;
p4ul1010 Hi 1010. A good way to “borrow” the orchid is taking a picture with our indispensable smartphone, with foliage, blooms and roots 😬.
Thomas M ehh yeah I did but I can't post it in here
p4ul1010 Danny has a way to upload pics. Ask her.
After some long pondering.... I decided on bulbos, phrags, and Paphs!
Must buy orchids..........must buy orchids ;-)
I recently purchased an orchid that looks almost exactly like the Sweet Memory Liodoro you showed. I didn't know what it was called before.
Are you growing strictly in LECA? And please share your growing pots hacks. Are you using a soldering iron to pierce the pots and also the pot covers....liking all of your great information!
I just got the cucullatta! I’m so excited! I transferred it to semi and it has a new growth that is just taking off! I hope I can get it to bloom. 🤞
I would repurchase my cattleya maxima and my cattleya purpurata, I love them.
You have a great taste with mexican species!!! If you like O. "Sharry Baby", you should try to find Oncidium ornithorrhynchum or Oncidium sotoanum, both are AMAZAING! The flower spikes look like cotton candy and smell like mint-chocolate!!

I have the Brassavola perrinii. Very great and intense fragrance!
Orchids and more has Brassavola cucullata (the Brassavola flagellaris i got from them was huge, with 30 growths. But some other plant's really weren't that good (one was horrible, but another was great and huge, a couple meh, a couple OK...), so I don't really know what to think of that vendor).

What are the potting mix for this orkits... thnks
I agree with most of your choices but it is nearly impossible to obtain Phal Mini Mark in the US (one recently sold for $90 USD!) or liodoro (also around $100). I would add Miltonia Sunset Yellow Passion.
Judy Cook , that sounds like a challenge
I think princess Jacky might be Cattleya walkeriana var. alba 'Pendentive'.
Madame, can you advise a shop to buy a Brassovola Nodosa ? Thank you
I can repurchase sharry baby and its other kinds again ,and again,anddd agaiiin...bulbophyllum Elizabeth, sogo yukidean,twinkles,paachara,cattleya king of Taiwan, this are also in my again and again list......

surprised phal violacea isnt on here, since you said it had "a better fragrance than the bellina, maybe."
Danny! I want that white cattleya! If you don’t have the ID, how were you able to repurchase it? I wish I could find one!
I was waiting and waiting, for:
“Brassavola cuculata
it smells like horse poop”
2:11 purchased 5 years ago and it was actually a gift from my boyfriend...???
Hi Danny, I have your Princess Jackie with me and the name is Cattleya White Bridal 'Yuki' (I hope I don't misidentified your video)... Really love your channel btw... I learnt a lot from you
Hi, how does it smell like to you?
After much searching I found the appleblosom but the s&h is 4x the.price of the plant so that will be put back on the wish list😢.
Renanthopsis Mildred Jameson "Bonsall" HCC/AOS
paphiopedilum wenshanense
dracula cordobae
phalaenopsis Mituo... all of them
neofinetias falcata... all of them
dendrobiums moniliforme... all of them
sedireas japonica... all of them
cymbidiums sinense... all of them
lycastas... all of them
chiloschistas... all of them
and so on and so forth)))
How long have you had the v pachara delight before it bloomed for you?
Hey again, I'm just wondering if I can soak my phals in fertiliser water instead of flushing the pot with it. Which one is more efficient for the phals?
Ninprotato what media you are using??
I'm using big leca balls as the medium for one phal as well as charcoal in another phal
Ninprotato soak it in nutrient solution for 20 minutes.....
What is the name of the orchid wich is shown @0:35?
Totaly agree on your selection :)
I have a question and need your experience please! I ordered a phal. tetraspis c1 in winter and replanted it immediately (stupid me - I've learned my lesson). Of course the roots died off and none regrown yet...and I'm getting nervous now...the orchid has only a little root stump which keeps the plant suprisingly hydrated - but what will I do if this stump dies? :S The phal sits in a little glas full of sphagnum moss (air and water ratio seems to fine - nothing rots away) - but no new root growth...can I do more to stimulate root growth? Or is it normal, that this species needs so long to put out new roots?
Monika K. Keep patience and keep Sphagnum moss moist,and also increase humidity around it by using humidity tray,and dont move it to much,keep it stable as possible.......
Monika K. What temp you have in your area???
d v thank you for your reply :) I live in Germany - it's getting pretty warm right now (22-28 ℃ - my flat gets sunlight all day so the warmth is getting trapped kinda which should be beneficial if I manage to keep the moss wet right?) I hope this helps...I just bought new moss (this sphagmoss Danni talked about in the miltonia video - my moss is pretty hard and comes in small pieces). Do you have experienced such a thing like me?

Hello Danny I just recieved my very first orchid and I'm pretty nervous about it.

I'm not sure what kind it is i think it's a moth orchid that's all the info i can find on it . Can you help please ?
Hi, here is my care tutorial on Phalaenopsis orchids ruclips.net/video/Mce-ne6NyL0/видео.html
MissOrchidGirl Thank you

My goodness how many orchids do you have?
Silly man! Enough to make a livelihood with sponsors!
Why does there is so many long coment?
