* note: as it appears, there are some species of Phalaenopsis (not Vanda) which seem to produce keikis from roots, the stuartiana and schilleriana. There are a few claims on the internet, never seen it myself, but it may be possible! www.orchidboard.com/community/species/39308-phal-scilleriana-root-keiki.html thanks to my viewer Paul Daniel for pointing out ☺️
As someone from the Philippines, I do confirm that they grow new plants/keikis from roots, especially if they're mounted 🤗 and they're also prone to clumping here!
I found your Chanel just this month. I have learned so much already. I ordered the proper medium and repotted my 5 orchids. I hope they will do much better now. Thank You
I've been here for about 5 years, and I've never realized how big your channel has been growing - Congratulations to you and bravo for all of the hard work you contribute to the hobby 🤗
I cant explain how excited i am. I remember last time u tried this was eagerly waiting to get updates as i was following some thing like that at that point of time.But i found my way. And i have been growing them in moss in small plastic baskets. And spray the roots every day 1ce until they are nicely wet i tried semi hydro and water culture. Didnt work .and i live in the tropics. Best of luck with this project . And again i am gonna wait like a child waits for cartoon show for the update of this project.🤩
You make it look so easy Dani. Vanda orchids are hard for me to grow for some reason. I kept it bare root, maybe that was the problem. You have inspired me to try another one.....potted this time. Thanks.
Hi Dani, so happy you chose the Vanda seedlings to highlight. I purchased one last April from a nursery on Amazon. She was a part of 4 other species and they were all seedlings. Almost a year later she is thriving. She has grown three new fans and her root system is beautiful. So I'm on the five year journey with you! 🌺🌸🌷💮🕊🐦
Just in the nick of time. My vanda seedling is severely dehydrated but I have 2 healthy roots with growing tips and two green leaves. The other 3 have dried up and fallen off. I converted it from a hanging basket to spaghnum moss and a plastic cup. So informative. Thanks, Dani.
Danny! I tried this when you did the last time, and I have kept up with the ones that survived. I have about 5 left of the 12 or 13 LOL....What I ended up realizing is that they need WAY more water than a normal vanda that is bare rooted. I ended going to the leca/semi hydro route in the end which is proving to be perfect. But the catch is that I bought tiny 3inch slotted clear pots that I put upside down in a wide glass jar. I guess I would call it the "air cone" to create more space inside of the pot. The vanda seedling will sit on top of the air cone and then leca is put all around it to secure the vanda seedling. I recommend you try this strategy with a few and see if it works for you in your growing environment. I am hoping that because they are growing this way from the seedling, when they are blooming size they will end up flourishing in a pot. Hope it goes well! :-D
I'm a shallow orchid hobbyist (if such term exists). I'm always interested in orchids that are blooming only. But watching so many of your videos makes me change my mind. I received my seedling phals from Schwerter today :D
I found myself also a big lip mini phalaenopsis, a dark purple one with amazing colours on the lip, from Ikea of all places! And the same day after watching your unboxing video to boot! I really appreciate the effort you put in your content, the new look is great. 🕊
I read Phalaenopsis stuartiana can produce keikis from the roots. But it should be alive and attached from the plant though. I saw some posts on facebook. I read that that's the only phal species that can do that.
Researched it a bit and you may be right! Schilleriana and stuartiana, at least these are the claims. How bout that 😂 www.orchidboard.com/community/species/39308-phal-scilleriana-root-keiki.html
OMG!!! :X So happy for this new project!! I have a few bought last year and am struggling with them, i keep them too dry (time to time) i believe....it's because of lack of time, but still...no excuse for me! Thank you for all your videos!!
What a wonderful project for the New Year. It will be very interesting to see how these Vandas develop. In fact, I would like it if you would do more videos on Vandas. I have a very large collection and would like to know things like - at what point should I remove a keiki ? (Or can I leave it to grow into a massive Vanda with the mother plant?) More precise information on the different types of vandas would be appreciated as well. And, I like your idea of ordering a flask and working with the plants inside. This has always interested me, but I don't want multiple plants of the same variety. Lastly, thanks, as always for such Great Videos!
I work for a small orchid nursery... They deal mostly seedlings. As a part of merit, I can get seedlings from them (most of them are free)! So I have a LOT of seedlings (vandas, dendrobiums. Blc... etc)! We pot them in sphagnum moss only. And lots of them come as plugs, not flask. They are more established and easier to deal with. Yours might be plugs. And also yours look very end of seedling stage. Who knows? It might become blooming size in 2 years and not 5 years...
Hugo Hernandez water when it’s dry. As simple as that. And you need good air circulation. My place has fan on 24/7. When you pot them in sphagnum moss, make sure to make it as fluffy and stable as possible. You don’t want it to stay constantly moist especially vandas and Dendrobiums.... their root may rot. (Especially winter time) but when they are dry, don’t let it dry out too long.
Yea, I’ve had some bad experiences on EBay too. 😕 Yay!! Vanda babies!! I ordered one Vanda baby an so far so good, 6 months an it’s still alive!! I think, My Orchid Adventured, Maria Young did cut a Major Vanda root system off an left in the bushes with the other Vandas an they did sprout Keki’s. 😀
Do you have an update on these vanda seedlings? Im expecting quite a number of plug size vandas and looking to grown them successfully referencing some of your care guide and tips
Would you suggest adding a little peroxide to the water to kill anything that may have traveled on the seedlings or is it better to soak, then spray? My collection is getting larger and I'm more and more paranoid about bugs/fungus, ect!
Hi Dani- quick unrelated question: Do you halve the recommend dosage on the MSU fertilizer when fertilizing you’re orchids? I always hear that it’s important to cut the synthetic stuff in 1/2. Just want to make sure I’m giving the correct amount to my young cattleya. Thx!
Hi, i got this vanda about 3 weeks ago! It came in a small black plastic container with carbon! The roots are small and the plant is about 6 inch tall. Can i put it in a basket? Or should i leave it with the carbon until it gets talker and longer root?
Hi Danny... I watched one of your RUclips's and you had a link to your formula for spraying on the leaves after using rubbing alcohol. I have lost the link and don't know which RUclips it was.. Could you direct me to your formula again? Love your RUclips's so very much... God bless your work to help us care for our orchids the better way
Hi! I really like your videos😁! I just watched your "orchids in bloom - december" video. I think the purple noID Cattleya might be a purple variety/veeery close relative of Cattleya guatemalensis which is a natural hybrid between Guarianthe aurantiaca and Cattleya skinneri for itself🤔. I also have one question for the expert: Is it normal for Cattleya roots to stop growing after repotting😶😶? I repotted the plant because all new roots grew straight outside the small original pot I purchased it in. It has been three weeks since then and all the root tips are still green, but haven't done anything... It gets 24°C at daytime and 16 to 17°C at night with a relative humidity of ~50%. I hope you can give an advise!
Hi, yes it can happen, especially with Cattleyas which have sensitive roots. Here is a more detailed video on it ruclips.net/video/dEjcJiluF6w/видео.html
Hi dear , I have 3 orchids ( I have no idea which type orchids they are ) today I saw many littles whiteish insects in the pot but nothing in leaves or root, what should I do ? Do i have to change their soil( I don't know how they call the woody things used as a soil😜) ?
Hi, most probably they are a type of springtails, they are common and harmless. Here is a sort of ID guide, maybe you'll be able to identify what type of orchids you gave ☺️ ruclips.net/video/LCHLKBc-2B0/видео.html
Nice video! Anyone got a idea which orchid I can use for a north facing window? I bought a zygopetalum trozy blue yesterday. Dendrobium nobile did not bloom once in two years and phalaenopsis orchids did bloom once a year. Yes I am aware of winter breaks, fertilizing or submerging pots.
@@laurafedora5385 Thank you for your answer. I might think about a small grow light. With only north facing windows I have very limited choices regarding plants.
Hi....I too love growing orchids...since last 2 years I have managed to collect 8 different species of orchids...I just want u to tell me personally about how to grow them easily as I m from India from the region of northeast n the weather here is very much suitable for orchids.....can you please let me know about the easy techniques of growing orchids with much bloom
I have a Vanda Frapawan which I have growing on a piece of wood cutting from a large Juniper Bush. I was very happy to see how it attached so strongly to the wood piece. The root system wrapped around the wood piece . I am going to make a hanger for it and hang it on a Shepards hook and see how the roots will grow. I live in Florida/USA in a subtropical climate. 🐷🐷🐷
Regarding posting photos (on Instagram or elsewhere): I strongly suggest you watermark your images, especially if they are high quality images. Because once an image is on the internet, it will be taken by others to be used for who-knows-what.
Hi, thanks I was thinking of that, but pictures get stolen regardless, a watermark can be photoshopped out easily with the content aware tool (think that's the one🤔) so.. if people want to steal, they will, no matter what you do and no one will care 😟
Dearest Danny. You don't blab, you share. The human experience is trying to paint an experience with a full picture and many many many words might be needed and not wanting the form to be blue when it is really red. Thanks for sharing and if you might share sellers name we might smoke him 🐀 out of the woods 😵. Good luck with new project.
